February 3, 201411 yr Author Sold a Harry Potter Hogwarts 4867 for $125 shipped the other day. This set has progressed nicely as it's a nice complement to 4842.
February 5, 201411 yr Sold a sealed 8097 Slave I on Craigslist for $135. I bought a few of them for $63/each after tax this past June from a local mom and pop. I love sales like these. No fees, no shipping, and no haggling on price. $70 pure profit. Sadly, for every 30 eBay sales I make I get 1 Craigslist sale. This buyer actually knew the going rate and didn't lowball me with an obscene offer as most craigslisters like to do.
February 9, 201411 yr Sold 2 Architecture Studios I picked up at Toysrus.com this week. I didn't want to get too greedy, so I flipped them pretty quick. Sold a little lower than I would like, but to the same buyer, which should save me a little on shipping.

February 9, 201411 yr Just did my first flip. 9515 I got for 49.99 and flipped for 129.99. I've been at this for about a month now but just started posting on ebay a couple weeks ago. I think I undersold it because it sold in about 30 minutes.

I think the stars were aligned and you listed at the perfect time and caught the perfect buyer. That set is a tough one to move, and currently only has a BP value of $112. The current data is from the holiday sales too, which is when prices tend to get a little inflated. I would be extremely happy with $130 for that set, esp when you bought in at $50. Good job!
February 14, 201411 yr Nothing too amazing today. Sold a sealed 3367 city space shuttle for $54, shipped. I bought a few for $15 and change after tax during a past walmart clearance. After all fees I cleared $21 profit. I'll take that every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
February 14, 201411 yr Sold one of the special printed duplicate blocks from a Lego store grand opening Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker

February 14, 201411 yr After reading these forums for a while, I came across a post that said you should really sell a set before you jump in and buy too much. While this seems like obvious advice, I just assumed that selling would be easy. I had a 6868 Hulk Breakout set and decided with the new Hulk set right around the corner, this was a prime candidate for a first sale. After reading posts around here it made the most sense to list as BIN. Checked recent sold prices, set my price, and decided to include "free" shipping. Since I had never sold anything on eBay I stumbled through the listing process and got my listing just right. I hit submit and 16 minutes later I had the set sold. After shipping, fees, and the original purchase price, I made $35.56, which just about covers the second set I planned to give the kids. While I don't expect everything to sell that fast or go that smoothly with every buyer, I am definitely hooked now. I like buying, but selling is pretty great too.
February 15, 201411 yr It's been a long time and I probably had it listed for 6 months, but I finally sold a Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator (7961) for $69.99.
February 15, 201411 yr It's been a long time and I probably had it listed for 6 months, but I finally sold a Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator (7961) for $69.99. Congrats. Sad that Lucas didn't let Mail survive ep 1. These prequel sets can be really hard to move. I saw your listing and wanted it for my son. $70 was a fair deal. I just could make myself buy it since I still wanna throw a tantrum every time I see my last Podracer set.

PM me if you have a price in mind if you'd like to buy one...
February 18, 201411 yr Listed my first items this afternoon and just had my first sale. Just the Taskmaster parted out from the Hulk Lab Smash, but it's a start!
February 18, 201411 yr Sold an Orc forge via amazon, man those fees! Also sold a polybag this morning. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker

February 18, 201411 yr Sold an Orc forge via amazon, man those fees! Also sold a polybag this morning. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker Good stuff. A sale is a sale Prices on amazon are higher so I think you made enough margin even with those fees. Sometimes I wonder how people can spend that much on Lego but I'm glad I sold it to them instead of someone else.
February 18, 201411 yr Last night I spent probably four hours sorting, taking pictures, packaging, and listing some bulk lots/parts lots I have. I have been avoiding it for a couple of months - a nice reminder to think twice before jumping on that next Craigslist bulk lot, lol. Sold 3 lots already - 7894 Airport parts lot sold in about 30 min, that always makes me think I priced something too low, lol. Hard to figure out a good price for an incomplete set with no instructions. Next I need to cull some sealed inventory...we are thinking about moving and I am thinking it is time to downside some inventory!
