A couple of highlights of 2018 for me... 1. Knowing that I am starting 2019 "Steam Roller free". 2. I continue to expand my local presence through Facebook market place, buy/sell groups, and vendor fairs. I've drummed up quite a few cash sales and repeat customers. I'm looking forward to building my local market share even more in 2019. Cash is king.

He loves the show Dinosaur Train... so we did this. Now he won't stop singing the theme song.

FYI... if they scan the HP minifigure it will be your 50% off from 0.02 down to a penny.

And somehow they will still manage to find a Pharaoh's Quest set to put out for you at clearance.

Probably best to lead with "You will never guess how much I saved!"

My UCS MF shipped from Wal-Mart & should be arriving today. Meaning I've got a matter of hours to figure out what I'm going to say to my wife.

Some of you folks already know and if don’t then here’s a reminder. Avoid all this cancelled orders mess and back orders **** and buy these sets early when appropriate. Sometimes saving a few bucks ain’t worth the hassle. [emoji106][emoji16]

as sales start to wind down, i can say from my experience that the safety certificate fiasco was 100% big nothing-burger. my strategy for the hassle was to recall all items, close all listings. ask to have my open case about the certificates closed. waited until the day after the deadline date for removing stuff passed. the next day created all new listings for all sets that i had that were on the list that i still had stock. sent them in. sold them all. done.

I have pics of BN store/online exclusion list, but will not load here. Highlights: 21309 Saturn V 21030 Capitol Building 21310 OFS 31313 EV3 70618 Destiny's Bounty 41318 Heartlake Hospital BOOST 75189 HAW 75190 FO Star Destroyer 60110 Fire Station 60167 Coast Guard HQ Pretty much everything Creator and RRP $150+ JW and HP are not on list. Voltron also not on list. I have gone to three stores and cleared out Guggenheim's, Buckingham's, Farm Cottages, Arc de Triomphes, and Skeleton Attacks. Each transaction over $75 spend after all discounts to get the Potter promo. Only one store put up a fuss about limiting 1 HP promo per customer. The rest were happy I was buying everything.

Doesn't matter. Do 1 at a time. Even then u might get banned. Just back from 2 stores. Didn't know about sale even til I get to chechkout and every other Minnie's b 4.97. Snagged enough stuff to get 1 hp promo at each store. Second store played dumb about promo on shelf at checkout and said the $75 promo was over. So I said well then I'd like to buy them and she said u can't. Did my best stink eye and said sounds like we have a problem and I need a manager NOW! She rang it up nbd. 1 penny Have a nice day.

Is it in store as well ? Asking for a banned friend

Barnes & Nobles has a buy one get one 50% off deal right now on select Lego. Stack on the membership savings, and this is pretty good for the Mini Cooper. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/buy-1-get-1-50-off-select-lego/_/N-2s3i

I made the same Bonanza mistake...but it wont happen again. To be fair, I thought IWOOT was a scam until it was verified here...luckily we have some good sheperds in this group that we can learn from!

USC Snowspeeder in stock at Target for $159.99. Only 3 left. https://www.target.com/p/lego-174-star-wars-153-snowspeeder-153-75144/-/A-52211279

Guys, please stop posting links to obvious scam sites. These are plentiful, especially during the Holiday season. At best, you get your money back from their payment processor (e.g. Paypal), which over time causes fees to rise for all of us. But you could fare way worse - with CC and contact details stolen, some fishy stalling scheme to get you out of refunds, or shipping you bogus bricks. Please STOP.

This is a follow up to the £100 haul I showed in the 'what set did you buy today' thread (picture below). I've sold most of it, including all the sets with a value of £50 or above. Overall, this has done extremely well. I've made over £1500 in sales. Taking into account the initial cost, shipping, Bricklink costs and fuel, I've made over £1200 profit. I even still have probably at least £200 worth of sets I haven't sold yet (e.g., 4181, 4182, 7965, 4737). This has been a great project, and I can only hope to be so lucky as to get another find half as good as this in the future! EDIT: Whoops, just realised I forgot about Paypal fees. That's probably about £60. I'll make more than that back with the rest!

True. Yet after the new year, the cancellations will stop and Walmart will welcome resellers with open arms so they can unload old inventory. No way to treat a friend. LOL

If they go low...you go lower! Too bad Timmy!

Of all the fees, the October storage fees are the worst. For those of us with large businesses and no employees, we need to load in our stock in Sept/Oct to sell in November and December. There aren't enough hours in the day to wait until November to send it all in, not to mention all the new opportunities that start popping up in November.

I'm hoping so. My "ghetto" Walmart and "hillbilly rural" Wal-Marts still have pretty full shelves.

The in store signage doesn't mention a limit. It would be difficult to enforce in store. Since it applies automatically as opposed to them having to scan a coupon/separate item, there's nothing for the cashier to read that says "one per customer". And since it applies multiple items in one transaction, etc etc. it DOES say cannot be combined with other offers, so a cashier could say, not give you the Harry Potter pack if they were feeling stingy about it. I only went to one store, but I've never had an issue at any store with these sorts of promotions in the past. Of course, I assume most folks here will want to maximize. Though I did buy an $80 and $70 set and $15 and $10 set as I couldn't find things to pair with. Also, if you buy 6 $10 items, the discount applies properly to the whole purchase, issue only pops up with different prices.

I told my wife about it yesterday after my order updated to "shipped" but I still don't know where I'm going to put the box, let alone build the set. She wasn't as concerned once I told her how much of my Christmas LEGO sales I was planning to use for paying our cc bill.

Ok Dad.

Not a coupon. When you are a member you get 10% off anything you buy in store. All they need is your membership card or phone number to verify membership Technically there is no limit on Bogo in store. Some stores may have overactive managers who put some arbitrary limits on purchases

Shelves are pretty empty around here.

I'm wondering if we're going to have one h*** of a post-Christmas clearance this year at Wal-Mart given the huge number of sets expected to be released in January. They've got to make room for all that new inventory. Followed by the movie release in February there could be some great selling going on. Of course, if some of the big Wal-Marts rollbacks we've been seeing are to try and clear a lot of that inventory direct from the warehouse before it even hits the store that might have a slight impact on post-Christmas clearance in-store. Still, I have high hopes for December 26 through January buying and a good February through April selling period.

With FREE Reindeer ornament !!!!!

The correct answer is BOTH.

If you shipped via priority mail you are covered up to $50 if you file an insurance claim through USPS. They usually process them quickly. I’d offer to refund the buyer and send them a prepaid label if you want the item back. Let them keep it otherwise, with the refund. EBay’s money back guarantee means you will take returns regardless of your policy. I’d do this to avoid a snad claim. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Found these at Walmart

I suppose that's better than Vampire Hunter Abe Lincoln, which is what I've been calling him all morning.

No threats of bags full of used dildos for me (where would you even get that?), but it has been a very profitable year. I almost doubled my sales from last year and blew way past what I had originally projected for the year. Got all of my debt paid off and will be starting 2019 with a big pile of inventory. This is why I laugh when I read so many of the gloom-and-doomers here talk about how the sky is falling, how we are in the end times of Lego reselling, blah, blah, blah.

just a friendly reminder for everyone to go through and reset the prices on any of your ASIN that have sold out to a healthy higher amount. last thing you want to be is an accidental undercutter/lowballer when an item you sold a month ago is returned and you miss out on the additional price appreciation that may have occurred since your intital sale and your stock becomes available and your old low price suddenly goes active. or just be that seller who is inexplicably selling an item for 25% less than everyone else for a few hours .

I noticed WM bumped DO back to rrp. That $105 price was really nice. Buying all these BB at rrp today was rough.

Yeah right store was mobbed manager could give rats a$$. I got my farm cottage, Minnie and Mickey and promo. Got to move and keep on harvesting. No time for discussion with nitwit retail minions hired last week.

So tempting on that treehouse. There are quite a few gems in the small/medium Creator 3:1 sets. This one might just be one of them. [emoji848]

Hello Big Ben!!

That is an pretty awesome pro looking setup. Big stall also. I’m also doing more fairs and shows but my lineup goes beyond legos. Legos probably took 25-30% of my booth. I’m gonna look to increase that in 2019 shows I’ll be attending.

I worked through a contact at Amazon to get the issue escalated to the "[email protected]" customer service team. They looked at it and confirmed that the requirement for providing the actual safety tests wasn't a mistake on their part. However, I never had any problems with the one listing that I got the request for...I never shut it down, never withdrew the inventory, and had no problem selling through on it. My guess is that it was a misfire that they didn't feel like cleaning up publicly so just let it go.

Bravo to you for admitting an honest mistake on the internet. Further bravo to you for considering the impact of deal chasing and whether it was really 'fair'. Plus, you didn't demonize anyone for chasing a deal, as we know, only the hustlers truly thrive in this game. You just asked them to consider it. Level of thoughtfulness I haven't seen often in this joint. Cheers mate,

There was no plastic when you were a kid either!
