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.

Fred Meyer had a bogo 40% off almost all lego, and they put the mixels out early.

​Nicely done.  That's a fantastic buy-in to be able to QFLL S5.  Best I've got around here is 10% off, not worth the effort to try.

​second that.. nicely done!!!!!

Thanks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that FM has a sale the same time series 6 comes out. They did with series 4 but I was to much a newb to reap the benefits there.

Sold a lot of 11 Monster Fighters mini-figures for $129 shipped on Bricklink. Buy-in was $50 for the set about 7 months ago.

Sold a 10221 for $1200 CAD and have sold around 19 Jurassic World polys the past couple days at $18 CAD each. Not a bad week!

My eBay is bugged or something. I sold 3 sets of series 5 mixels $60-$65 range (same $30 buy in), but my buy it now ones don't show up in search. One auction still hasn't paid so kinda frustrating

​Very solid returns on the SSD, that's a nice chuck of funds.  I always chicken out/don't have the patience to hold long enough for sets to hit <$1000  

Still working through a big lot.  Sold the last week or so(all used):

CMF lot of 7- $50

Toy Story figure lot of 4 -$25

10184 Town Plan -$190

CMF lot of 6 - $45

7093/7094 Castles -$170

7946 Castle - $130

Atlantis sets (4) - $90

I need to put up pictures in the "what did you build" thread as it's been a lot of fun getting these built and sold.  Waiting on a few more parts and I'll be getting the Spongebob sets put up in addition to more Castle sets.  I loved the Fantasy Era sets and this lot was full of them.  Still have 7048, 7029, and 10193 to get built and sold.

​That's weird and annoying.

I had one not paid as well.  Opened and closed case with no communication from the buyer.  I've since updating my settings to block buyers with no Paypal account.  Maybe do the same?

You guys still aren't using the "Immediate Payment Required" for Buy It Now?

​I know this is silly but I can't seem to figure out how to do that when setting up my listing. I don't understand why eBay doesn't have a handy checkbox that's available on the main list your item page.

Mobile or web page?

​I know this is silly but I can't seem to figure out how to do that when setting up my listing. I don't understand why eBay doesn't have a handy checkbox that's available on the main list your item page.

​If on a desktop try this.

At the "Select how you'll be paid" section, click on "add or remove options".  It should be right next to "Select how you'll be paid".

That should open a dialog box where you can check several options.  The one you're looking for is "Require immediate payment through PayPal when a buyer uses Buy It Now", it is first in my list.

Click Save.

You should now have an option on your listing template to "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy It Now"

Click that box and finish creating your listing.

That checkbox may come unchecked if switch back and forth between Auction and BIN.  It also may come unchecked if you select Best Offer.  Just keep an eye on it.

​Slowest time for eBay sellers?

​Well, it kind of depends on what you're selling and what your prices are.  You can move and buy items at all kinds of prices.

I sold a NISB 4842 Hogwarts Castle for 400 € shipped.

​Every time someone sold a 4842 or the smaller Hogwart set, I was reminded of my foolish decision of choosing Diagon Alley over Hogwarts

​Yes, $1 profit per item * 400 items  baby !!!!

​This time of year you never know.  I can sell items I've had listed for a day, a week or a year, diversify a bit and stuff will sell.

I have sold 20 things this month and 10 of them were over a 15 hour period last weekend. I don't know anymore.

​And that still would have bought me an SSD at retail.
