January 7, 201411 yr Found some on clearance at a Walmart. Been to 7 others, nothing. So it was a lucky find. I saw a bunch not selling at 95-100, so I figured $90 was a good mark. awesome!
January 7, 201411 yr I just sold 3 in the last 24 hrs as well for $90. It's time to bump the price back up again, but they weren't moving at $95. I went $88 to get rid of 2 of mine. Might bump it back up to $95 or so for the rest.

Now I need to figure out what I want to do with the rest of that I have.
January 10, 201411 yr I'm down to my last Hulk carrier...probably sold 7, which is a lot for me (new to invest/selling). I'm going to hang on to my last one for a few years at least I think!

January 10, 201411 yr Sold a bunch of freebies (mini VW, Clone Troopers, Employees, Xmas Tree Stands, Xmas Tree Trucks) from Lego & TRU the last two weeks through eBay. S&**** and fees amounted to about 25%... Can't complain about the net profit...
January 10, 201411 yr Author Well, I must have spoke too soon. Listed 3 Hulk Helicarriers for $95 and in about 24 hrs someone bit and bought all 3. Now I need to figure out what I want to do with the rest of that I have. Was it someone out in CA? Mine sold to a single person as well.
January 10, 201411 yr Was it someone out in CA? Mine sold to a single person as well. That is correct, he said he is a collector and to package them carefully. I really think he is really a reseller from China. That's me reading between the lines.
January 13, 201411 yr I made my first Amazon sale yesterday, pretty exciting! Also flipped a couple sets locally for an average of 60% profit. Pretty good for just holding onto them less than a month. I wish I had a car when there was the clearance at Target, I would have bought everything lol.
January 13, 201411 yr I'm telling y'all, save those last Hulk's. $150 easy. I am basing that off the fact the shorts color will stay exclusive, and I think the original wave of Marvel sets will fetch an eventual premium. Gut feeling.
January 13, 201411 yr I sold my last Hulk Helicarrier 2 days before Christmas for 139 Euro (about 190 US$!)...
January 13, 201411 yr Lots more 4529 Iron Men and Capt Am Cycles. It wish I'd out a higher BIN price now! But, triple what I paid after only 4 months isn't too bad I suppose. ;-)

January 15, 201411 yr one (no box) 100% complete 6211 Imperial Star Destroyer. BOOM ! (nod to jgschmieg3) 1 sealed 6211 and 1 10144 Sandcrawler (box optional) left to sell before this summer's refreshes.
January 15, 201411 yr Just sold a 10143 Death Star II and a 10134 Y-Wing Starfighter. Boom! But "my brickfolio" took a hit!
January 15, 201411 yr Just sold a 10143 Death Star II and a 10134 Y-Wing Starfighter. Boom! What were you able to get for these sets.
January 15, 201411 yr you can quite track your realized profit/loss with brickfolio, correct? once you sold a set, you basically take it off?
January 15, 201411 yr What were you able to get for these sets. Got about $650 for the Death Star after shipping - not eBay. Got about $310 after fees and shipping for the Y-Wing. Both used.
January 15, 201411 yr Author That is correct, he said he is a collector and to package them carefully. I really think he is really a reseller from China. That's me reading between the lines. I'm pretty sure you're right. I was lucky I noticed they were going to different addresses because I packaged them all together before noticing he was sending them to different places, though they all appeared to be going to the same apt. complex or something. As long as he doesn't try to pull any crap with me, I don't care if he sends them to the North Pole.
January 15, 201411 yr you can quite track your realized profit/loss with brickfolio, correct? once you sold a set, you basically take it off? you are correct. my solution... i export my brickfolio to one file. then i automatically copy some data from that exported file in my "Sales" file. my sales file looks like this....

I sold a couple to a Chinese guy that lived in LA, California in an apartment complex.

As long as he doesn't try to pull any crap with me, I don't care if he sends them to the North Pole. i had a buyer from the Philippines who purchased one of my UCS SW sets. Since he has a sister living in NYC and they visit each other, I shipped the set there to save me grief and him money. Can you ask if he has something similar? Anyway, make sure you ship using USPS Priority or Express International and with insurance to protect yourself (add delivery signature if offered). Since the target destination is in China, I wouldn't lie on the Customs form either. Not worth taking a chance with the Chinese..
January 15, 201411 yr you are correct. my solution... i export my brickfolio to one file. then i automatically copy some data from that exported file in my "Sales" file. my sales file looks like this.... What system do you use to make up your Sales sheet
