Sold a 75055 Imp Star Destroyer for $385 CDN on Amazon. Only listed it the day before. This was the last of the 3 I bought for 50% off on Boxing Day 2014 at Walmart. I wish I'd held on to the other 2 a little longer. I "only" doubled my money on those. May invest the proceeds in some Brick Bountys I saw the other day. Those have already been appreciating nicely.

So I'm confused on how 75055 could sell at $385? Is that US dollars? I see plenty new in sealed boxes from great sellers around $200. How did you get double what most other sellers are getting.

Canadian dollars

Creator Family house 31012. $94.99 shipped on Ebay. Was holding out for $100, but no point in getting greedy

Even the currency difference doesn't explain that much of a gap. In my opinion there's just less competition up here and so less supply, which means prices can go higher, especially on Amazon. In my case, I have a 100% rating and have been selling for a year now so I think that helps reassure those who are plunking down big bucks. I just sold an AT-AT for $280 CDN last night. I bought it at the same time as the Star Destroyer. Got 3 of each set plus 3 of the Benny Spaceship for half price at Walmart 2 Boxing Days ago and just have the 1 ATAT left. Really wish I'd gotten more.

I realized I was in a buying frenzy, I chickened out on long term hold, sold 10x bricktober TRU for $12.99 ea. Still made some quick money and have 2x more airjitzus in the pile (all to same buyer)

2015 Bricktober set for $62.50US after shipping and fees - probably to another seller.  Thanks to TRU Canada for the (almost) free $100 sets.

Other recent sales are boring although the 60052 Cargo Train parting out is working fine.  I am taking in $128-130US after fees and have kept all of the switch track, straight track, cow cars (for use or future sale), and all of the cargo docks.    Pretty good for a $95-102 buy in plus it helps keep the metrics up for the top rated discount for the 2016 fall/Christmas season.

I assume that was all 4 and not just one. 

10702 Classic Creative $27 + 7 shipping. Buy in was $20 bucks. I thought I saw these on Amazon for about 29. Can't quite put a finger on what people will buy.

This thread helps

Sold 3x Iron Patriot/Gun Mounting Rack on BL for $29.99 each - all to same buyer. Not bad for a freebie.

Superman Man Of Steel Bundle: 76002 Metropolis Showdown, 76003 Battle of Smallville, & 76009 Black Zero Escape - $89.99 on eBay. Plus the buyer paid shipping to Canada. I'm a little shocked these sold above MSRP! A decent profit too considering my buy-in for the lot was around $30.

Sold one of the first sets I ever bought: Coast Guard Patrol 60014.  Buy-in was $52 on 10/29/13, sold for $100 shipped on eBay.  

Some other recent sales:

Town Hall $545

Jabba's Palace $180

Power Armor Lex $25

(all eBay, prices include shipping)

eBay this week: Police patrol 60045, got it for about 30, sold for 72... and a UCS B wing for 310 (got it for 100)....  Both had buyer paid shipping.  

 

The police patrol was one that is a great sleeper city set like the logging truck and last ambulance.  

Sold a mixed bag of polybags to a local fellow off Craigslist - Iron Man drone, Umbaran MHC, Fall Scene, and my last 2 Lego Movie Police Enforcers for $55 CDN total. Paid less than half that for these. 

Also sold another Raptor Escape on Amazon for $100 CDN before shipping. This set has been great. I got 15 back in October at MSRP but with bricktober sets as a bonus, and I've sold about one per week since the start of the year on Amazon. At the same time I got the notice last night, someone emailed me about the set off Craigslist and said he could do $60. I just laughed and deleted that. Only 4 left. I'm going to miss this set when it's gone. 

Sold my last Republic Gunship for $220 + Shipping on eBay.  I know I probably could have made more if I waited a little longer, but that huge pile of Santa Workshops has been killing me.  I needed the cash flow.

The Lonely Mountain with a small tear for €150 cash, buy in was €50 last July.

Architecture Sydney Opera house for €110 plus shipping on ebay, buy in was €43 2 months ago.

Sold a lot of 30 lbs of used LEGO no minis or booklets for $220 + shipping. It was most of a lot I picked up Monday for $60. I sorted out non LEGO.  I have a few SW minifigures, many baseplates and a few more lbs to sell from it too. Not a bad flip in under a week. 

I sold a 44017 Stormer for $40 that I won on auction for $12.30.

I wondering if they're building a batpod.

My only ant-man set for $44.99 on BL. Buy in was $15.00 at some random Walmart in SoCal.
