Hi all,

 

I'm an AFOL who came out of my dark ages about 5 years ago. Started flipping in 2011, not so much for profit but to support the hobby.  Love playing and building wiht my daughters and just got my wife interested in building the Fairgrounds Mixer.

 

At the high my inventory was about $20k MSRP in opened sets, but had to free up a bunch of shelf space so now I'm down to mostly things I hope to build in the future.

 

The biggest lessons I've learned so far are:

• These things taka a lot of space to store.
• These things can be expensive to ship.
• Dont discount the value of your own time.
• Don't sell too soon!

Hi, neighbor! Welcome to the site!

Welcome to Brickpicker!!

Thank you for the tips. Indeed I think the crucial thing in investing is to sell at the right time! And don't buy everything that is discounted

Hi spanky! Welcome!

 

And I totally agree on your "lessons" ;-)

Welcome! I lived a large portion of my life in Colorado and loved it. All the mountain biking and skiing on weekends, oh how I miss it. I have moved to a different state but I really do miss Colorado.

Anyway from one Coloradian to another, welcome to brickpicker!

7939 Cargo Train had a tremendous amount of play value, but not everybody likes trains.

 

10228 was a fun build with lots of cute details.

Welcome Spanky!
