December 7, 201312 yr Sold a mine craft set and chrome 3po mini figure Can you tell me how much the good c3po was and if it was sealed in the baggy? My last 2 sealed ones sold for $405 and $390 I have a chance to buy 3 for a quick flip.
December 7, 201312 yr This week I sold Harry Potter Chamber of winged key, and the Sorting hat and the Forbidden Forest sets all new in box. The retired Ambulance and last night I sold the retired Police Station. I got 43-48% profit on each of these so I am happy...can't get that at a bank....all on Kijiji so no delivery/fees/etc, love that!! I have a couple Mission to Mars and Mars Rovers I am trying to sell without luck so far, might have to ebay those.
December 7, 201312 yr Author Sold City Farm Harvester for $200 and Tractor for $33. Don't think I made much on these as I bought them last year to build and never did. Needing more capital, though as the Amazon bills are going to be coming in soon.

December 7, 201312 yr Seriously?! For couple hundreds?? I was looking at eBay and there wasn't much bidding going on How did you sell it for that much?
December 7, 201312 yr aren't the advent calendars 59.00 regular price...how did you make money on that?
December 7, 201312 yr Seriously?! For couple hundreds?? I was looking at eBay and there wasn't much bidding going on How did you sell it for that much? i didn't see a price you sold them for. your replies above are empty. i have european lego customers that pay extra since i'm an international seller.
December 7, 201312 yr My Craigslist listings have been picking up with the holiday season here. Today I sold a wampa cave for $60 (paid $37), and a republic star fighter for $40 (paid $17.50). Not huge deals by any means, but NO FEES OR SHIPPING!! YAY! Pure profit after cost. I wish I would get more bites off of Craigslist than I do. For every 30 sales I make on eBay I get 1 off of Craig's. Oh well.
December 9, 201312 yr Just finished building the 100% complete w/ box Queen Anne's Revenge (4185) I picked up for $40. This should be a "what LEGO do I want to sell?" thread. My son told me to flip it and get him an AT-TE and Republic Gunship. Of course, now after he sees it put together, he wants me to keep it. What to do? What to do? I already have a couple AT-TE and Republic Gunship packed away after Black Friday, but he doesn't need to know that.
December 9, 201312 yr I am taking Emazer's advice and pre-boxing all my lego from now on. Sold 19 (mostly large) sets in last 24 hours and it sucks! Finding boxes, packing and addressing. I use all recycled materials, which is cheap and eco-friendly---but very hard finding the exact box I need in Mt. Box---down in my basement. I can't believe how fast things are selling. I am a long termer....but decided to "flip" a bunch of things that I bought cheap, and can replace easy in 6 months. We needed the space for our Christmas tree! Top tip....most of you probably know this, but I didn't and just learned today. Usps will pick up your packages as long as one is priority. I always thought they all had to be. Wish I knew that before. Scheduled pick up online...much easier than lugging all these things to the post office.

Yeah pre-boxing is awesome - definitely helps and you can stack things easier as well. I wish every month was december - things sell a lot quicker. lol Here's the solution: Keep the QAR Buy AT-TE tomorrow Buy Rep. Gunship the day AFTER tomorrow....(if we are still alive) Make sure you have your snow suit on.
December 9, 201312 yr Here's the solution: Keep the QAR Buy AT-TE tomorrow Buy Rep. Gunship the day AFTER tomorrow....(if we are still alive)[ I was about to type the same. This is an easy one to answer. Keep a cool looking set that prob won't ever be refreshed or keep 2 newer Star Wars rehashes. "That was easy"

Wish I knew that before. Scheduled pick up online...much easier than lugging all these things to the post office. I use to use FedEx and UPS daily for pickups (selling on stubhub). Doesn't UPS charge a fee for pickups (regardless how many items)? I know FedEx doesn't as long as 1 package is Express. Update : Ignore. You typed USPS. Yes, USPS is great for free pickups.
December 9, 201312 yr REWIND one sale. I just had my first bricklink non-payer. My never opened (sealed peeled away) 6211 sold for $275. Well the Canadian hoser never paid. Dang. On the same day, I had a non-payer on eBay for my iPhone 5. At least the iPhone 5 was quickly resold. The 6211 not so quick.
