May 20, 20205 yr The max discount for LEGO20 is 25 pound. So to maximize the discount your order needs to be around 125 pound

When I heard they were selling for a premium I figured I would sell the one I had and order a new one when it became available. Long story short I sold mine for $73 plus shipping on ebay. So all said and done, I made somewhere around a $10 profit which wasn't really worth the effort. The funny thing is the replacement arrived at my house before the auction ended. I should have just had Target send it to the guy directly. If you sold this for $73, how did you make $10 profit? Ebay and PayPal fees would take 13% of that leaving you with $63.51 (actually a little less than that because they also take 13% of your shipping charge). These are $60 before sales tax. So that would leave you with $3.51 without any sales tax. If you pay 6% or greater in your state for sales tax when you bought it then you actually lost money selling it (and since shipping is charged the 13% fees it is probably 5% for the sales tax before you lost money on the deal). If you bought using a Red Card, you saved about $3 (basically the cost of tax). I saw one in my local Target yesterday and left it (pristine box too). They keep going in and out of stock and they're brand new so they'll be around for another year or two.

May 20, 20205 yr 13 hours ago, S4J said: 63.58 all in. I sold for 73.50-2.92(for PayPal fee)= 71.58. I charged 14.99 but it cost me $7.60 to send. So I netted $7.39 on the shipping. Ebay will charge me $7.35. So $71.58+7.39 = $78.97 - Ebay fee = net total of $71.62. Subtract my cost 63.58 and my exact profit is $8.04. OR...about $10. Would you like my tax return too? Not to be a kill-joy, but paypal charges you 2.9% on the tax received as well (tax is charged against sale price + shipping). Also, what are your shipping supply cost? Used box vs a new box? I track what I actually receive into paypal vs what the sale in ebay says and I couldn't figure out why it was off - sometimes by mere pennies, other times it was over a $1 and yet other times, it was dead on correct. What I discovered is Paypal takes their 2.9% off everything received (sale price, shipping, and the taxes paid on your sale). Paypal then automatically returns the taxes paid back to ebay. If you look at the detail paypal transaction you'll see it all. On a side note, I wonder if paypal is collecting another 2.9% of the tax returned to ebay for each sale. If they are, that is quite a racket. So your sale of 73.50+14.99=88.49 * 6% tax (middle of the road example) = 5.31 taxes. Paypal 2.9% + $.30 of total (93.8) = 2.72+.3 = $3.02 Ebay 10% of total ebay sale (88.49) = $8.85 So your sale minus fees plus shipping difference is actually: 73.50+14.99-7.60-8.85-3.02=$69.02 - 63.58 = Profit of $5.44. Now subtract any new shipping supply cost. Of course, this estimate doesn't include gas if your taking it to the USPS or the cost of gas to buy the product or get it home, but that's just anal retentive... If you used a Red Card to purchase it, that would add roughly $3 to your bottom line. So your buy-in would actually be around $60.58 for a Profit of $8.44. I have a spreadsheet that does all of this for me. The tracking of the tax amount pd (and paypal percentage on that) is what I'm currently adding into my spreadsheet right now.

I bring it up because they have Porg for $79.95 which is retired and I am one of the few that kinda dig it. Thoughts? https://wewarehouse.co/ https://wewarehouse.co/product/porg-figure-by-lego-star-wars-the-last-jedi/ When you google their address, it is a house in a neighborhood in Vallejo, CA. I wouldn't do anything with them myself Admittedly, in the past two months I have seen at least 3-4 sites like this. Some with very tempting deals (50% off). I actually called the phone number on one of these websites and it was a completely different business. I told them about the website using their information and website name and that they should probably check it out. About three days later the whole website changed to the one I had called.

Kind of funny to hear this. The house with that address is in an area that's a nicer part of Vallejo. With that said, a lot of shady stuff goes down in Vallejo.
May 20, 20205 yr Corner garage back in stock at amz. Maybe some more stuff will start coming in. Or maybe no one wants corner garage?

I see it available under frustration free packaging. Does that mean shipping label slapped on the box or sealed bags and instructions placed in a brown box? Anyone ever buy Lego under frustration free packaging?

Usually label slapped on box, although it could be in the lego shipping carton.

Usually shipped in a custom single Lego shipper. They will sometimes also put the Lego shipper in an outer box before shipping.

I just had my Corner Garage delivered yesterday from Amazon...IDEAL SHIPPING...I checked off it was a gift so a minty fresh set box in original LEGO outer box in another larger Amazon box (the box was a hard stock with ample room and bubble cushions.

May 20, 20205 yr Thanks! Was able to snag a couple Hidden Side trains and a couple Hidden Side buses for cheap! Went to Gamestop to pick up my Hidden Side trains and the store was actually open for walk-in customers and they had one of the $50 75257 Millennium Falcons sitting on the shelf that I was able to get as well.

Great prices on some sets that are really shooting up in value. Any chance I can bum a 75261 clone Walker off of you (PM)? 🙂 I haven't been able to acquire one from my personal collection yet. Any other notable deals you had from GameStop? I wonder if any of those helmets are good to flip, like the guardians of the Galaxy. Edited May 20, 20205 yr by baublitz
