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.

Sold a used Hagrid's Hut for $85, unfortunately my margins were only 1" on top and bottom and 1/2" on left and right.

They're unacceptable margins and I'm very disappointed in you. Also, margins should be calculated using centimetres, not inches.

 

 

Probably going to list my BTTFs for $100 now. I don't mind if they wait a bit to hit that.

 

Wonder what I should list my open box (damaged in shipping) Town Hall for...

 

Glad to see these prices.

That was my first BTTF sale.  The rest will be $100+

It's ok guys. I got the point. Time to move on.

Sold my last Palpatine's Arrest on Amazon for $116 shipped.  Only 3 more orders to go before I qualify for holiday selling.

im happy to see these things are finally moving up

My minimum ROI for all sets is 25% cleared, including a user fee to cross the border, for all medium sets with one exception (a HE used set that I sold at a17% annualized ROI)  but since you asked...

Indominus Rex
Sale Price 189.00
S&H&Fees - 44.66
Purchase price - 102.33
Gross profit - 42.01 US per set or a 41% return for a 4 week hold.

T-Rex Tracker
Sale Price 105.00
S&H&Fees 26.04
Purchase Price - 52.54
Gross Profit - 26.42 US per set for a 50% return for a 4 week hold.  Could have squeezed an extra 3 dollars by shipping smart post but that adds a trip to Fedex. This isn't really enough profit for me on this set,  based on the work involved, so I bumped my price up and will hold for later.

Aquanauts
Sale Price - 99.00
S&H&Fees - 24.37
Purchase Price - approx. 30 (have to check my database)
Gross Profit - 44.63 US for a 148% return on a 3-4 month hold

Darth Vader
Sale Price - 130.00
S&H&Fees - 22.59
Purchase Price - approx. 45 (have to check my database)
Gross Profit - 62.41 US for a 138% return on a 4 month hold.

 

Profit may be reduced by $10.75 if I have to pay when I cross the border next time.

 

Thank you for your concern

What are the Aquanauts and Darth Vader?  I like the margins listed

of course now the way to do that is 

1. buy the delorean LEGO 21103

2. Go back in time

3. buy whole lot of  "Aquanauts" and "Darth Vader"

4. instead of landing in 2015 go to 2030 sell them for 20X or 30X. buy **** load of whatever is cheaper gold, platinum or uranium

5. Come back in 2015 and enjoy life with the new found wealth

Sets that I bought separately in the summer, I have them previously listed and think that they were 6195 and 8017

If you're going to do that, might as well buy a sports almanac and go back to 1955.

yeah works with anything  so why stop @ almanac

If I were playing this game, I wouldn't want to go back so far.  October of 1970 wouldn't be a bad date.  Invest $10,000 in the IPO of a little store named Walmart.  Present day value of those shares?  $130,000,000 (yeah, that's millions).

were you even born @ that time.. .probably you would just change your own "future" and "existence" LOL .... 

i wasn't born then so i won't even try to go there... probably something in the 85->87 will be fine for me.

OK, ok.  Jump to 1980.  Same $10,000 would still be worth north of $50 million.  Plus $100k/year in dividends alone.  I hate that my parents weren't in the stock market.

my parents were not rich to have stocks. they could barely put food on the table and send 3 kids to school.

http://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/inflation.php?amount=10000&year=1970 says $10k in 1970 is equivalent to over $60k so that's a lot of money by 70's standard to put in stock market.  { for my parents .... of course if they were able to then we won't be having this conversation }

 

Some ToT amazon $24

2x quick flip mixels series 6 full sets for $80 each, buy in was $36 each

Castle 70404 with four forest ambush and one gold getaway for $240 shipped.

I'm officially out of the LR: Constitution Train market.  Last one went for $135.  I bought all of mine for $50, so not too shabby really.

its a pretty sweet train, I love old western sets and have a bunch of the ones from the 90's so I can appreciate it even though it was kinda small, hopefully Lego will give us a proper steam driven train in the near future.

I did keep one for myself.   As I do with pretty much everything.
