Sold a 5888 Ocean Interceptor the other day for a little over €75 (after fees). Buy-in was about €21.

I didn't think it would sell since 75915 Pteranodon Capture is available in stores for €25-ish and it's basically the same set in a different color. 

More Two-Face & Batwing combos on EBay for $150.

Wall-E for $114.95 on amazon.  Person lived 2 states away and shipping was under $6.

Santa's Workshop $119.95 also on amazon.

Is it better to sell in lots or to try and sell sets individually?

It just depends, I do both.

Okay then in your case was it better to sell the 2 batman sets together or separately profit wise, just wondering whether you put a discount if you're selling them in a lot.  

This weekend: My last Family House for $98 shipped on eBay (loved that Target sale last winter), a Logging Truck for $57 shipped on Amazon, a few more Winter Soldiers ($17 shipped, eBay), and a "retro" pirate in a box. 

On a side note, I didn't post on this thread for most of my first year because I felt it was too much ego. Here's why I changed my mind: it's helpful for other BPers to know how much sets are currently getting. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the community.

This is the only reason I look at this thread. It's a great barometer for timing. Thanks on the Family House info. It may be time to start unloading.

In the past, it has been better to post as a lot and cheaper to ship.  I see the price creeping up on Amazon for Two-Face now.  I may send the rest in for the holiday rush, rather than lot'ing them out until they are gone on EBay.

It totally helps, you get informed of what's selling and for what price and it also gives indication for when sales are picking up in general

besides the daily deal thread, this is the most useful thread on brickpicker.  sometimes i even hesitate to post on this thread because inevitably it means more competition, but all of our investment futures in plastic bricks are somewhat stuck together so sharing info is useful.  lame pun totally intended.

from your post i know its time to start selling some Winter Soldier's.

also heads up - you can still find the Logging Trucks for $16.99 at stop and shop grocery stores in the northeast. snagged 8 in rhode island on drive back from cape cod last friday.

I noticed the Logging Truck price from Exciter's posts two weeks ago--eBay prices are trailing Amazon quite a bit at the moment. I'd like to think the prices listed here should give a few a shot of "hey, I can raise my prices and still sell this stuff" instead of the race to the bottom.

Re: Family House... I only had five, sold all and doubled my initial investment, so I'm happy. I have a sense there will be more listings as the holidays approach as many bought large #s that "fell off a truck" last spring. Maybe I'm wrong, but doubling my investment or close to it) is my goal/strategy.

I'd like to run into a few more Logging Trucks. They're out there in smaller shops, lingering.

T-Rex Tracker for $102.49 (free shipping) on eBay. Picked it up at Kmart and paid $19 after points, surprise points, and coupon.

Tip. Sears always seems to have $10 back on $30/$40/$50 purchase for clothes, shoes, etc. If you're spending a good amount on Back to School stuff, you can use a new coupon each time you go to the register, so break up your purchase to maximize the points you get back. My wife thought I was a bit crazy.

I have a lot of sets they're all mostly used though so I have to wait a bit longer to get a profit I have the two face chase and the joker helicopter too but just used. I wait until a set is worth double the amount of the retail in used condition.

That's exactly why I'm listing a Family House tonight.

several first wave chima sets (not chi temple). I only lost about 30 after fees and shipping. they were bought around 50% off.

Mini Modulars set 10230 for $330 CAN (before fees and shipping).  Knew I should of bought more of this set lol.  Decent enough profit for me.  Haven't been active lately with general Lego news/rumours but who knows how much higher this set might/can go, especially when set #2 is released eventually.

Awesome.  I can't even get any watchers at 60-something on eBay.  May be time to move to Amazon.

I read this thread so I can get annoyed by how much people spend on Amazon for items I sell for much cheaper on eBay 

A lot of people still think that when something qualifies for prime shipping that they are buying directly from Amazon
