February 2016 Polybag Availability Update

Original Post:

Sorry if there's a post like this already. I searched but polybag comes up in so many threads its hard to see! I was thinking of getting polybags to sell. I'm not really looking for huge profit, mostly it seemed like a good idea for building up my eBay feedback. So I don't need to be super profitable but of course I don't want to lose money with shipping, etc. How do you know what bags will do well (obviously like anything theres no sure thing but any idea what does decent vs what js pretty much always a flop). They are hard to search for since they are random. How long do they usually last? Is there any general tips you could give?

Trex is gonna be a polybag?
Poly sack maybe?

Should be easy to smoosh, if you're into smooshing polys.

still perplexed why I bought a few cases of these but I continue to do it.   The Solo Tie actually surprised me how well it did though.

I stopped buying ones without minifigs. I don’t know your buy-in, but they just weren’t worth the hassle.

They're addictive when they get cheap enough. Do I need 30 Target pollys at 75% off? No. Do I want them? No. Yet, somehow, I wind up with 90 of them, every time.

polybags always surprise me - ill end up with 40 or 50 and sit on them for years and then all of a sudden someone will buy all of them at once

I've never sold a polybag, I've always added them as a sweetener and it's often resulted in a lot of repeat non-fee business which is worth far more than the resale price of any polybag. I've always gone the extra mile in everything I do and it's always paid dividends. I have a huge stash of Xmas promos and these will be given away to get the edge next Xmas.

I keep wanting to give these out at birthday parties, but parents these days are too lazy to bring their kids to birthday parties.

I’ve given them out for Halloween a couple times.

I think it just takes longer for them to get to the party in your neck of the woods

You and me ....2 different things lol

when I say QF, I mean 20-40 of them  not 200-400. That may take little longer

Isn’t the Trex huge though?
A mini Trex maybe?

And LLDC

Well um yeah figured that went without saying.  The LL in LLDC was a giveaway.  I guess I'll say Merlin in future to be all encompassing.   Or Midway. They like using that of late.  

Started out in October as only a GWP and went to purchase only GWP earlier this year for 2.50.   

Seem to be doing that more now after they've been out awhile.  Unfortunately some don't get the $2.50 level.  Pods are usually $4.  Then you get the random $6 like they did with DJ.  Yet scariff was only $2.50.  Not sure who makes the pricing up but it is very random.  Monthly builds are mainly back to $5 now too.   Used to be $5 then went to $3 as they didn't sell. Now raised back to $5 (and their not selling again).  

Seems Walmart has been put into the runs that LL used to rotate with TRU on as well.

Plus as always, employees are clueless. I’ve had them charge me $2.50 for pods once and I paid $2.75 for scarifs too lol
