May 27, 201510 yr I have sold 20 things this month and 10 of them were over a 15 hour period last weekend. I don't know anymore.Congratulations! 20 items is better than zero items. Edited May 27, 201510 yr by exciter1
May 27, 201510 yr What don't you know?i think mscheaf might be waxing Tony Montana-esqe - eating drinking ****ing ****ing. selling lego. Then what? You're 50. You got a bag for a belly.
May 27, 201510 yr What don't you know?I mean I don't understand buyers or their patterns or when they like to buy. I just gave up trying to understand buyers
May 28, 201510 yr Slowest time for eBay sellers?I have definitely noticed a slow down on the vintage set line. My old space BINs are sticking. I have them set at average or slightly below but no bites. It's been like that since April time. I seem to remember that things picked around July last year. Having said aid that I listed a 7817 boxed for £45 and it sold in 12 hours. Auctions are mostly still selling, but at lower prices than BINs.

May 29, 201510 yr sealed poly of the SW 2853835 Boba Fett (white armor) for $61.you been hanging on to that for 5 years?
May 29, 201510 yr got it free early last year. did a friend a favor by selling some of his stuff.you been hanging on to that for 5 years?
May 29, 201510 yr I sold a BTTF Delorean for $100. Stoked!! Dude, cool down! You are making us all look bad. Now spill it....was this another CL deal?
May 29, 201510 yr Dude, cool down! You are making us all look bad. Now spill it....was this another CL deal? It sure was. I prefer to sell on Craigslist although a lot of people hit me up and then never get back to me. People are super flaky on there. If I start having trouble selling sets I'll probably put them up on eBay. I want to avoid fees and shipping costs as much as I can.

I only have a few of these so I'll be waiting until Oct-Dec to consider selling any.

May 29, 201510 yr I let my personal feelings about how I thought the Delorean build looked awful get in the way of investing in that set. I guess nostalgia wins over how a sets look in this case. Dang.

Dang.It's hard sometimes not to let your personal feelings get it in the way of a set, but I try not to let it. I try to think of the overall appeal to buyers, not if I really like it or not. I bought a ToO and I don't like it at all. I think it's a good investment though.
