I sold two of these sets today on eBay. I wonder why the sudden run?

Not sure, but let's keep it going!

series 14 cmf full set for $139.50 on amazon

Just sold my personal toy shop for $100 via CL. I feel kinda bad about it. Oh well buyer beware. 

42043 for $240. Thank you TRUTH 

My listings either sell on their first day or last day  otherwise there's no activity

Sold a Hobbit Unexpected Gathering 79003, and a Barrel Escape 79004 for $212 CAD shipped. Not a bad return, was $55 in for the gathering and $30 for the escape. Shipping was $27, so a profit of $100. I'm pretty happy :)

Wow that is a good sale, so you sold both of the sets together?

 

Yes. Listed separately, but sold together. 

Yes. Listed separately, but sold together. 

I love when that happens, especially since I offer free shipping.

I had a buyer buy a set of Orange and a set of Brown Mixels Series 2 yesterday for about an average of $28 for each set of 3. Buy in was about $12 for each set.

Although it may seem small for profit, I did so well with Series 1 that I could donate all my remaining stock and still be ahead. So every Mixel sold is pure profit at this point.

I remember buying 4-5 exclusives with that promo but sadly they went out of stock so quickly.

That was a great deal.  Sold all mine off quite awhile ago at $70 and surprisingly saw some of these at the Lego store in KC when we were there this summer.

sold a used Queen Anne's Revenge. Found it on CL a few weeks back for $165 and sold it for $255. Bonus that I got to do a fun build with my boys before selling.

Some thin margins there. But at least you're making it up through volume.

Yeah, everything looks like you made a lot, until you factor in 12-15% in Ebay/Paypal fees, then another $10-$20 in shipping costs and not sure how some get around local sales tax?  Once I get my eBay monthly invoice it always feels like I made only a couple bucks and the winners in all this is USPS, FedEx and Ebay...  Oh and Lego for me buying it in the first place.

Sold a Raptor Escape on CL locally for $55 cash.

sold the following series 14 cmf on amazon for $110 total:

zombie cheerleader, zombie biz, plant monster, bigfoot, tiger woman, skeleton guy, spectre and mad scientist

Nah, not as thin as you think.  I pay less in shipping since I use my company's shipping account to receive discounted rates, which I am allowed to do.  The prices paid include tax.  I keep a detailed spreadsheet of all my sales and know exactly how much profit I make on each transaction.  If I can not make a minimum of 40% profit after purchase costs, ebay/Paypal fees, shipping, and packing materials, I do not bother selling an item.  I'm usually online for my job anyway and frequent stores regularly anyway so I do not account for the time involved in finding my stash to sell.
