Since we have the buying thread, I thought we could have a selling thread too. Let guys, and girls, let others know sets they have moved, maybe returns that they realized and the timeframe it took to get there. If this is lame, well, I guess it will fall to the depths of the forum, here goes. Sold a sealed 7199 IJ Temple of Doom for $200, purchased for $115 6 months ago I have others, but this is just to give you an idea.

Sold 4 more 75909 Mclaren Speed Champions at $62.50 each on Fba, buy-in of $11 each. Have 1 left when I should have 2, looks like I have to chat with seller support to find it.

 

Also, I will count these as sales for now. Amazon reimbursed me for losing 3x 76031 Hulkbuster Smash. The gave me the equivalent of $71 each, netting $56 each after fees. My buy-in was $18 each. Could have sold them for a little more but can’t really do anything about it.

Bundled an Ekimu, Dragon Forge, Deli, and Push Train for $275. Buy-in was about $90.

4x Yoda's Starfighter for $100, buy-in was $30.

1x Minecraft Fortress for $130. Buy-in was $10 because of KMart Christmas Tree shenanigans.

Got rid of my last 70917 Ultimate Batmobile for £85 after fees and postage.

Sold my final Starlight Inn for $140 on fba, buy-in of $15, also sold another Skyra's Castle for $184, buy-in of $35. I have a few more of these but the boxes are not in the greatest shape so will hold for a little bit while I decide what to do with them.

Nervous about this one, but sold my last Lego Ideas Mars Rover 21104 on Amazon for $329.99. Added signature confirmation requirement on delivery, took a bunch of pictures as I double-boxed it...fingers crossed now. 

FBA:

Bionicle Storm Beast - $45 (Buy-in $15)

Bionicle Lava Beast - $70 (Buy-in $12)

Bionicle Quake Beast - $79 (Buy-in $0 - Free with purchase at TRU)

 

I had 6 Assembly Squares show up from Target yesterday.  Sold 6 already and cleared about $200 each. They never even hit my storage area, nice.

Lucky

My assembly square got cancelled due to pricing error.

 Sold a 75150 A-Wing vs Vader's TIE Fighter with some profit. Good riddance of that overpriced ****.   Bought by a Bricklink reseller by the way. Does he really think he can make money on it?

Also sold a 60095 Deep Sea Exploration Vessel for 2x buy-in. Apparently while this set is still quite easily obtainable at RRP in Europe supply in USA/Canada has dried up. Shipping to Canada was 1/3rd of the total amount the buyer had to pay!

I second this. I bought and sold 2 of those ships here in Canada back before Christmas. I got them from the one place I’ve seen them over the past 6 months and at a discount to boot so I also sold them for twice what I paid. Shipping was cheaper obviously.

Nice! What avenue did you take for selling?

March 30, 2018. This is a date that will forever be remembered. I can get a little emotional at times. As an adult, there are a few instances when I've shed a tear. I cried when my son was born. I cried again a year later when my daughter was born. I cried tears of joy when my beloved Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 31 after three decades of mediocrity, and again when they won Super Bowl 45. The last time I cried was two years ago this April when my Mom passed away. 

March 30, 2018. Today is another day that I've sobbed like a baby. Upon waking up for work, I checked my phone like I always do. Waiting for me was a PayPal notification. A large one. I checked my Bricklink account, and it appears that some blessed soul has decided that they needed some Steam Rollers in their life. 

Yes, some Steam Rollers. All of them. 27 to be exact. Gone. Purchased by an unknown person. A risk taker. A gambler. A guardian angel, perhaps? I began this saga with over 50 of those Steam Rollers. I'd sell one here, one there through multiple platforms, slowly chipping away at that number. I whittled it down to 27. Now I have 0. They are gone. The purchase price was just a shade over $1k. I'll make a few bucks on each one after the usual fees and shipping, but that's not the point in this circumstance. The nightmare is finally over. 

March 30, 2018 is my Independance Day.

I thought I heard a roar in the distance. Just be sure not to cry too hard till the 180 day paypal chargeback period has expired.

Meanwhile, you could make an extra buck or 2 in referral fees by selling the buyer´s contact details to a psychiatrist.

Damn, who are we going to make fun of for overhoarded Superheroes sets now?  A major talking point of this site has been erased, I feel a bit hollow right now.

I would still have been happy to take them off your hands (if not for the shipping).

I think that you should have saved one Steamroller so that it could always look at you, mockingly, until one really bad day in the far future when you simply take a sledge hammer to it.

Ex astris, Scientia.

This is probably one of the best posts I have ever read on here. Well done, sir. Well done.
