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.

I'm back from the future.  Death Star for $950 shipped.  

-Emmet Brown

Alien Encounter Bundle, Mothership, Helicopter, & UFO Abduction - $120 and GSP, so it only cost me $5.45 to ship.

Cool, you finally broke even on these POS ?

Note for young'uns: Alien Conquest was the Galaxy Squad of 2011/2012

People, people, this person is obviously a fake, don't believe a word he says.

No doctor would ever sign off without using their title, way too up their own backsides for that

 

Apologies to all doctors, I have nothing but love and affection for you all, please keep treating me

I only had $50 in all 3, so I squeaked out at least 100% profit.   I did well on the Alien HQs I sold last year too.

I wonder how everyone is enjoying their GS they picked up on clearance last year?  I actually thought Alien Conquest sets were kind of cool, but yeah, they aren't worth the cardboard they come in.

Over the last week or so:

7888 Tumbler $200

Indiana Jones 7622/7195  $70

7036 Dwarves Mine $70

7897 parts lot $30

Flipped most of them for 30% profit.

I bought your dwarves mine. Thanks. I saw that your 7048 and 7029 are missing the most expensive pieces.  Are you still looking to complete them if they do not sell and repost on ebay?

Cool, thanks.  As for the other 2, I was very disappointed to see that those particular pieces were not only missing, but what they cost for replacement.  I don't think the tail piece for 7048 was even available in the US last I looked, and the plates for 7029 were too much ($15ea) to invest that amount of money in that set.  I'll just keep them if they don't sell soon as they're pretty cool and the kids like them.  The other Castle/Kingdoms sets I had did very well and sold quickly.  I have a few more small sets from the line to get inventoried at some point as well.

Sold a Friends 41015 Dolphin Cruiser for 55 euro cash.

Sold a Mines of Moria, Attack on Weathertop and Gandalf Arrives through a Craigslist ad for $200 CDN total. My cost for all 3 was $130 so a nice 50% return in a year. She bargained me down from$230.

Sold today (so far):

- 8414 Technic Mountain Rambler (NIB) for 50 euro cash.

- Friends lot (3933, 3934 and 3939) for 45 euro.

- Friends 3063 Heartlake Flying Club for 40 euro.

 

Slowly but surely my stack is shrinking. Happy about that.

what happens if you go over $88?

An opened 8961 Crystal sweeper for $53. Not bad considering it was thrown in on another deal I was working out and all I had to do was find a handful of pieces and a minifigure.

60022 Cargo Terminal for $170 shipped. One more left to sell and I will just about be out of the LEGO city set investment game for any purpose other than personal use. It's a shame because I think so many of the sets are really cool. It's taking all my will power not to buy the new deep sea diver and space sets.
