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.

3 of my 4 Star Wars Phantoms for $75 CDN each in the last few weeks. Doubled my money on these after only 4 months. Raised the price on the last one by $10.

One Olaf polybag for $20. Paid $5 and will make $15 profit after fees and shipping and shipping credit. Let it go, let it go........

Also sold my only 7848 Toys R Us Truck yesterday for $135 CDN. Paid $45 3 years ago. I was debating whether or not to open this now that my modular/city display is growing. Might have to buy the open and used one from my son's friend now. I can afford a fair used price after selling the new one for 3 times what I paid.

You're on a roll.

I capitulated and sold my one of two 10188 sets today.  Local buyer for $620 CAD.  Not a big profit, but my buy in was low and all this talk of the new set being a rehash of 10188 spooked me.  I started off just into building and collecting....but the buying part became fun and addictive due to the hunt for deals lol.  I'm undecided about opening and build my last 10188.  I honestly think the set is mediocre.  

Finally a 853373 Kingdoms Chess sets for £80. I've been trying to get rid of this for a year. This set has been a disappointment in terms of resaleability. 

Do I buy any of the Pirates chess sets?

Atlantis Guardian of the Deep $8. Part of a big used lot I bought.

Jammy sod! I sold my last 2 Kingdoms Chess sets at a small loss once postage and fees are taken into account. I wish I sold them 2 years ago when they were worth more.

Pirates chess sets? No way for me unless >50% off ;-)

To be honest, I've not paid over half RRP for anything recently.

I got lucky really, and randomly noticed about 12 months ago that the going price on Amazon was like £115, I didn't buy many, think I had 4, but unloaded them all then and there. I have bought 5 Pirate chess sets though just in case a similar trend happens. If it doesn't its one of those things.

I wish I bought more kingdoms chess sets. The have been going for $150 on Amazon consitintly. If the pirate set retired last year when the rest of the line did I would have high hopes for it but I'm questioning it now

I've just done a price check on 40158 Pirates Chess Ebay BIN price is £40-55 but it seems to be a VERY slow seller. So I may give it a miss, plenty of other sets at that price point that are more popular.

Getting back on topic, todays vintage sales are:

6880-1 [Surface Explorer (1982)]     £16
6881-1 [Lunar Rocket Launcher (1984)] £15
6842-1 [Small Space Shuttle Craft (1981)] £5
6824-1 [Space Dart I (1984)]  £9
6844-1 [Sismobile (1983)]       £7

Me? I wouldn't. That set has been on sale on LEGO Shop at Home for something like 6 months now. It is not moving at all, imo. I'd avoid.

What is this chess you speak of?

Sold a single Skales snake minifigure on Amazon fbm for $65...woohoo
