When I sell on eBay, I rarely use an auction unless I'm really unsure of an item's market value. I prefer BIN with non-auto Best Offer so I decide if I want to sell at the offer price or not. I just ignore lowballers and let their offers auto-expire.

I don't ignore low ballers, I read their comments first and sometimes ban them

0.99 auctions can drive traffic for your other listings, I always try to have at least one running at all times

Are you guys selling the 7965 Millennium Falcon or holding a little longer?  I'm not sure if I want to move them now at $200+ or hope that the ceiling is higher as the movie approaches but before people realize there is a remake coming in the form of the Episode 7 version.

Holding.

I am personally doing both. I am gladly doubling my money on them now, but I am holding half of my stash for later in the year just in case.....

Last month on eBay, I sold an Open Box 7965 at $185 in a lot with a 75055 and 9493, and a NISB for $205 + shipping. I could have probably held out for longer and made a little more, but I wanted to turn some inventory and I still have one more open box 7965 to hold for closer to the holidays. I regret not getting more, but I got into this whole racket right as they became hard to find and I hadn't quite figured out what were good buys yet.

Holding.

I am thinking that given the target audience, once new MF shows up, 7965 could be a tough sell. Kids want it for their birthdays, right? Or there is evidence of collectors involved bying at this time? 

No problem knock wood.  Two people have thanked me for saving their kids birthday.  Gosh, I'm a great guy.

Sealed 4597 Captain America with a beat up box for $30 + shipping. It sold with in 10 minutes of listing. I knew I should of asked for more $. But, I was told to thin the herd or else.

Listed a bunch of series 2 mixel singles and been selling like hotcakes at $12 shipped (most were <$3 buy in)

I made the decision to sell all my stash this past Christmas figuring that would be the high point at least until next christmas and growth would be significantly slower. I was happy to get $200+ per set.

I sold the ones I got for $100 or under and am holding two I paid full msrp for since $200 isn't good enough at that buy in. I will probably build one of those.

It certainly could be tough. My gut says hold, so I hold.

I have sold all of my 7965 Falcons (had five left) over the past two weeks. Each one sold for $220 plus $18 shipping. I paid between $80-$100 for each one, so I'm happy with the profits. They may continue to rise, but I don't want to take that gamble with the new version coming soon.

One note...I received a lot more traffic and sold three of the five after I included the mis-spelled version of "millennium" in my title (milennium). This trick was mentioned somewhere on here last week, but I don't remember which thread. I changed my listing title after I read that and it seemed to make a difference.

Kings Castle $150

Interesting that the King's Castle sale price is nearing Helm's Deep sale price...

I don't get it. Why would it approach Helm's Deep in value ?

Cause Helm's Deep does not live up to its own hype ?

2 creative towers for $75 each on CL

yes it is especially seeing it just disappeared recently. I had 8 of them at 80 buy in and sold all 8 the last 2 months. In that same time i sold 2 helms deep at 180. Honestly had 0 kings castle and was watching it spike some and took a gamble on it.

Fact is Helms Deep is such a poor performer, even the Chima Lion Chi Temple can be sold at 150 after Christmas and after TRU dumping tons of those at $90. My money would have been better spent buying FB than HD

OK I just sold a Galaxy Squad Galactic Titan for $90.  Its in a postal zone that will probably cost me about $5-6 freight.

What is this world coming to?

you got them @ TRU at recent clearance?

 

i would have picked them up @ $28 as well

Not as good of a master as you.  Got them for $50 or so I think.  Still will clear about 40% profit on QFLL.

1 down 2 to go.  I really wanted to keep one for myself.  But its because it reminds me of the Space Police one.

So in reality sell these and get a Space Police one to be most happy.

HD has stagnated, and KC is catching up.  Why?  Probably with the introduction of Pirates, Lego fans are concerned they will not see another King's Castle for a few years.

 

Great news for folks that had a $55 buy in when Amazon was blowing these out.  Wish I had been able to grab another two.

Sold 2 x Ninjago 70503 Golden Dragon for 70 euro each.
