I've gotten back in the game over the last month and have been stocking up and getting ready to sell.  Last night I inventoried my boxed sets and got them priced in my BL store.  Once I get the open sets verified I will list those and open the store.  Then the tedious task of inventory and listing loose parts.  Sadly my BL inventory was wiped out because of 180+ days of inactivity.

 

My wife asked what I plan on doing with the money I get. I think she thinks that this is a one off deal.  What I would really like to do is get a nice streamline store going.  Nothing crazy but something fun to occupy my down time.  My inventory is all over the place as it was mostly sets I bought for personal use.  I would like to build enough capitol to start keeping 1 or 2 exclusives for selling after EOL.  We will see where that takes me.  My dream would be to make this a career like some of you.  For right now I'm just setting my sites on selling what I have and picking what I can afford.

 

 

Nice. That's the way to go! A lot of times people have issues with selling once they have purchased hundreds of sets, so I really like your strategy of playing it by ear and adjusting as you go. Please keep us posted on your progress! :)

Thanks!

 

I'm going through my loose sets and making sure they are complete, meaning actually building them.  Just finished 6755.  What an awesome little set.  The best part being that a 1x2 dynamite tile gets put into the jail and it blows of a wall.  So fun.  Also, 7 guns, 4 minifigs and a horse means plenty of shoot outs. 7893 is next!

I love those old western sets....just need to get around to bricklinking a few parts and my fort legorado will be complete :)

So I stumbled across a box of old forgotten sets.  This has been tucked away for many years.  The box had opened, complete with boxes these sets.  

 

6991

6544

5580 - missing box

6539

 

I bought this lot from a lady who was selling her sons Lego collection since he was in college now.  These plus 10 other mid 90's sets complete with boxes for $150!!!!  My best CL find ever.  The others I had already sold on Ebay 4 years ago or so.  But it had 6339 and 6195 to name a few.  I wish I kept the 6339 box for my own set.

 

I think the monorail is staying with me though.

Opened the store 2 days ago with a very small percentage of what I have.  I am continually adding more each day, but, I sold my first set today!

 

6864 - Two-Face Chase NISB, for over brickpicker value.  I have a couple more that I will hold on to.

Can you give us the link to your store? I would like to see what selection you have to offer.

Sure.

I'm in the process of verifying 10199 - Winter Toy Shop and 10175 - Vader's Tie Advanced UCS, both complete with boxes.  I like BL as it lets me "Set it and Forget it".  I don't expect some of my listings to sell right away.  I do try and keep up to date with values.

 

I was going to ask the forum about international shipping.  I have always stayed away from but I think once my store is more established I will try and open up a few countries.

 

Any one have any advice on international shipping?
