Boston Craigslist buy $150. The ladys ad listed for a week or so with only 2 small pictures and a vague description of what was in the lot. I finally after a week or so inquired about more pictures and being smoke free. She got back to me with a 3rd picture of the books which was sort of underwhelming. She said she was going to update the ad with more pictures and info on how nice the condition is. Good thing I checked the updated ad with multiple pictures showing this was a must buy at 2am this morning. I immediately sent an email saying I'd take the lot and I'd drive the 1.5 hrs to pick up. I was sure by the time I got up at 6am someone else would of sniped it. Well that didn't happen which was great. She replied that we could meet at a TRU. Turns out her 16 yea rold son wanted a computer for school. I see some nice stuff. I'm sure most isn't complete but I really just wanted the train.8 points

So I was browsing Shopgoodwill last night and I saw this lot I was confused why there were so many bags 4,5,6,7 but nothing else earlier. I was trying to figure out what it was. Meanwhile I was also looking at this lot It took me forever to realize that this lot was only half the Death Star (I was thinking the whole thing was in there) with bags 2 and 3 unopened and the other half was in the other lot.3 points

There are many reasons to auction. I am selling a MF auction style and I started it at $1 with no reserve. It gets a lot of eye balls on the auction and it can go higher because people don't want to lose out. Those eyeballs cam also look at me other listings2 points

It's really up to you @eddie412. I never do anything over 16 oz as "free shipping" because I live on the east coast. For me shipping to California vs. shipping to New York can mean the difference between profit and loss. Other say free shipping attracts more buyers to their listings and it works for them. But I will say, in my opinion when selling Lego, 99 times out of 100, selling auction style is for dopes. I have never found it to be of use to me. Search for the item you are selling on eBay and sort for "sold" items. Compare prices of items sold at auction vs. items sold as "Buy-it-Now". You will almost always find BIN will bring a higher price.2 points

Wow glad I stumbled across this thread. I was contacted by this buyer about 2 weeks ago. Left his e-mail address and phone number, so I kept in contact with him through e-mail after that so eBay would have no trace of the convo. He asked me to list sets o would be willing to get rid of, so I did, and he made me an offer. I denied it, made him and counter offer and he denied it, he then made me a counter offer on that and I accepted. I can say with confidence it is not a scam, he was very picky about which sets he wanted, and was pretty petty when haggling the price. I went ahead with it. I got paid over a week ago. He got his delivery, I got my credit card paid off. Nice and easy. I find it hilarious I'm the only one who did business with this guy lol.2 points

Working on flipping my second MILF (3rd if you include selling my spot in line opening day). Sold the last for $1300 cash locally. Got an email from someone interested, lived less than 10 miles away. Asked them when they'd want to meet. Response was "Can you accept Paypal and ship it?". Told them they were close enough that I can just drop it off. They demanded to pay via Paypal and that I ship the box the less than 10 miles down the road to them. Not sure they could make it more obvious that they were trying to scam me, or they're using stolen funds... either way, I want nothing to do with it.2 points

I saw a copy of the November LEGO Shop calendar and the 24 in 1 set was there as well. Set number 40253 and looks to be the free gift with $99 purchase from 11/1 - 11/15. The Nutcracker is free with $99 purchase from 11/25 - 11/27.1 point

I think for Lego, sets like Saturn V doesn't actually offer much in the way of profit. It’s more about giving back to the Lego community by creating cool sets that are inspired by Lego fans and are not actually attached to any theme. The opportunity to create long-term value for Lego is not there in these sets and not worth the extra production cost to increase the amount available for sale. This is just an opinion, I am not an investor or speculator, just an AFOL who enjoys building.1 point

FVF on shipping makes sense to get rid of the follk who list in an item cheap then add scandalous shipping costs, thinking the commission is only on the item value. Nothing to stop you adding the Ebay and Paypal commission onto the shipping costs so as not to lose money.1 point

When I get these types of "I buy all your LEGO" messages, I find them impossible to do business with because they want absurdly low prices. I'd be interested to know what you sold and for how much and if you made any profit.1 point

Just another anecdote...sold a 70321 General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom about a month ago via FBA. A couple weeks later got a notification of return, and debit to my account. Last week got notification that the returned item was in "unsellable" condition, with the reminder that this inventory must be removed from Amazon immediately (recalled by me, or disposed of). Like most small time sellers, I am shocked to find that if a buyer orders a Lego set from me via FBA, opens it, loses half the pieces, then calls Amazon and says, "I just don't want this anymore... changed my mind", that they will get a full refund as soon as they drop it in the mail. And even once received back at Amazon, after inspection they confirm that it is, in fact, "unsellable", the customer still gets to keep the full refund, and the loss comes out of my pocket. Ah well... you wanna play on the big stage... that's the way it goes... ok... fair enough. So anyway, I learn it will cost me $.50 to recall this item (in spite of the fact that Amazon is offering FREE recalls of all inventory right now... guess it does not apply to unsellable inventory). So I recall it. It arrived today and guess what - it is an absolutely perfect sealed box 70321. Nothing wrong with it. Curiously tho, it is NOT "one of mine". It does not have my SKU barcode on it, but in fact some other kind of barcode from some other seller. My guess is, they ordered from me FBA + Amazon Prime to get it in time for little Timmy's birthday. And then ordered another from an FBM seller... maybe for $10 less? When the second arrived, they returned it as "mine" and pocketed the difference? Still can't understand how Amz decided that it was "unsellable" tho. Maybe not having my barcode on it makes it unsellable? I'd like to raise a little fuss about it, but I guess I should just count my blessings, ...and send it back in.1 point

Could it be this nameless "DUPLO Free Agent Football Quarterback" has a certain resemblance with a real life Free Agent Football Quarterback?... https://ideas.lego.com/projects/bf0ace65-057c-4384-94fc-50ed5e8c5c5d1 point

Sold a set to a buyer. Feedback was left "Item arrived quickly and in perfect condition!" Message arrived from same buyer stating that the item was in great condition, but they thought it was pretty cheap of me to reuse a box and not put their set in a box that was picked up new from the store. Pretty sure on this order I used a Target shipping box that was in perfect condition. Set wrapped in bubbles and sent on its way. No reason to respond and upset one of our valued buyers with too much money to blow. But I'll have to hack down a tree next time for a fresh box when I see his username appear. At 400% profit nature will just need to take one for the team. I'll plant a sapling in its memory.1 point

Got the easy part out of the way - LED strip installed. Re-used the same strip from 10179 without having to modify it. I did of course have to modify the build a bit to fit the wiring without it being too obvious. Had to customize a side panel so it could go through the center, but it covered up pretty well. The strip does have a sticky back to stick it to something, but the pressure from the boat masts is enough to keep it in place with force alone. Made a custom little "holder" for the power box on the interior, and the receiver for the remote is accessible from one of the greebling display holes in the model. Not much i can do about this, needs to be somewhere the remote can talk with it, but it doesn't look all that out of place. And when done it again looks great, this light usually stays on 24/7 and acts as a night light for the living room, so it hides the ugly backside engines a bit Gotta say both this model and 10179 sure make it easy to access the interior to do modifications, all these easy to remove panels are great This LED setup does need to be connected to a power outlet, and last time everyone was telling me to paint the cord the colour of the wall, this time i will, but no i will not decorate the wall like the back of an ISD or a space scene Special guest: Jumbo Tsum Tsum Jabba, he's so awesome, makes a great couch pillow! Next step will be prepping the set for mount "alignment", have to of course remove the whole bottom turret section, reinforce the frame, and make some adjustments to level out the frame a bit as i can already see some differences from 10179 where my current mount build won't work.1 point

We had a whole thread about this topic and the conclusion was not to use VIP points during 2X VIP. Several calculators and brains fried during the calculations and at least one person feels cheated out of a free Pet Shop.1 point

I cancelled my order. Taking too long and I'll just wait for double-VIP and a good promo, or make your own discount at another retailer. No tax at Amazon and using rewards sounds pretty appealing.1 point

Well after getting through all 8 films and trying to work out which was the bigger mistake in the prequel films Jar-Jar or Hayden Christensens wooden acting, I finally finished the mighty Falcon. I've no idea where it is going to live until I get my man cave but it was definitely worth every penny. Next up will be to sort out some lighting. Plenty of room behind the engine tubes for led strips and the rear left compartment has plenty of room for a battery box. I don't care what price these get to before Christmas, I'm glad I built mine.1 point

I'll probably regret this, but I'm going to wait until back order comes in to put feelers out. The one sitting in the corner of my room...that I drove 3.5 hours for in the middle of the night (after my wife yelled at me for being "irresponsible and stupid", got in line at 4 am, was escorted out of the mall at 6 am, but was still 1st in line (didn't get anything special)...we have a special bond! I am resigned to the fact that this "early production " doesn't mean anything, but it still has a special place in my heart, and wallet! We'll see. I will at least be able to get my money back sooner or later. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of the time I've been wasting refreshing my order status 274 times a day once it does ship.....1 point

RE: investment. I'd probably take it outside the context of the popularity of any movie based sets. This is just a great standalone build that would fit in well with pirate ship's. A detailed design rather than crazy ott design of seacow. I guess it really depends on how long its around for but I'm optimistic. Put it this way, I'm no ninjago fan but this was a day one purchase for me.1 point
