T-Rex + Raptor Escape + Free TRU gate build - $200 shipped eBay

Agents Ocean HQ for $119 + $20 shipping. This one might be a 'hidden gem'. I got two of them at TRU for $50 last weekend. Not sure what sort of long term hold the set would be, but I'd say it's flip worthy if your buy in was $50. I was shocked to see that 2-3 of these per day were selling at $140, right after the theme was 30% off all weekend at TRU. Nice!

Sold a 21005 Fallingwater for $185 shipped on eBay. Bumped it up another $5

good job, looks like I was selling them 20usd cheaper compared to your price, but in general FW is about 20-30 USD cheaper here in Europe

1x Christmas Train $59.99 FBA

1x holiday Skating Scene $24.99 FBA (should have held a little longer)

Just another $5 profit from RE

 

Sold a light box damage JW bundle with T-Rex, RR, RE for $225.  T-Rex and RR were kmart buys so cost was $120 for the 3 sets.

Why do you not try Amazon FBA?

I am not a fan of the concept. I don't like the thought of paying them storage fees, and I've read enough on here about poor handling of items sent to them and returned item scams that I'd just as soon manage the stuff myself. Next year I expect I'll have scaled up enough that I won't miss the quota. Right now I'm selling stuff locally for more in pocket then I would have been getting from Amazon anyways. That's fine for a month or so.

Certainly. But still made a whopping 4 euro profit on them movie sets.

Dunno what is worse. The Movie or Lone Ranger.

Just don´t buy any themes with "The" in the title and you should be fine.

So we should avoid "The Force Awakens" sets?

I believe the theme is called Star Wars. Ok, you´d have missed POTC  but you missed them anyway!

Another Arendelle for $97 shipped on Amazon this morning. I can't a splain 'em?

GS: Galactic Titan via EBay GSP - $100 - these still aren't as good of investment as Constitution Train was at $50.

I am also still trying to sell the Galactic Titan. Such a nice set! But very difficult to sell.

That's very reassuring I took 5 of Super Cycle Chases at 25€ a pop... At such discount, was difficult to pass up. Oh, well, guess it's parting them then...

Don't worry. With that buy-in there is more space for profit. The cycle chase set is bigger than the ones I mentioned.

Still need to find a buyer, though. I have only got some Ninjago, Red city train, Daily Bugle and the 42000 F1´s to get rid of and my portfolio will be much better balanced. If they are not gone by 31st Dec, I´ll put them on Brick Classifieds at RRP and basta.

I feel the same way about the Crawler. I've been attempting to sell it several times on ebay/BL for 209-229€. Nada. Now I realize it was an error of judgment and just want to get rid of it. It's listed at 200€ currently, if no one buys it before New Year's, it goes to RRP and basta as you say.

The crawler is selling well right now, as is 42006. I´d keep a hold of it for a while, especially as when the Volvo retires, it will be the only set with 4x4, portal axles and full remote control...

I think I found your problem here, no one's going to pay €200 for the Crawler, a zero too many there

 

 

 

I actually sold that little fella parted-out for more than 20€

Yeah, but when will the Volvo retire, it's a 2014 flagship!! Hold it what, another 2 years (that's hoping Volvo wouldn't pull 42009 on us) and sell it for what 240-250€? Wo-hooo

Volvo goes late 2016. They are selling for 220-250 o ebay right now so unless you have multiples, it makes no sense to sell now.

Another thing is what parts the 2016 flagship has.
