Yes... the final quarter of 2017. That's when I will start to sell these two golden nuggets.

I´d say 250 euros after fees is a good exit point. No sense  in getting too greedy.

I agree with you there. 

I'm noticing a slight increase in prices lately on a few of the sets I watch.  I'm guessing many must have already their 25, and so now the undercutting and blowing out of some stock to make the cut is slowing down.  November/December might turn out decent, although sales are still sluggish compared to last year this time.

You are right ofcourse. But winners like this are becoming scarce. So better to squeeze out the maximum profit. You'll never know when the next big winner will reveal itself.

$36 - Series 1 Microfighter Clone Turbo Tank

$79 - Gingerbread House

$50 - The Werewolf 9463

Yeah. I was excited because I sold my last one last week for $50 on EBay ... guess I sold too early

also that series 1 clone trooper tank for $36 is worthy of an expletive.  3.6x MSRP for a set that was on the shelf of every walmart, target, toys r us, kroger, stop and shop grocery stores.  that would be like the Tumbler selling for $720.  

time to find that box full of tanks.

  as usual, i sold my werewolves too soon.

$23 each for Week 1 and 3 Bricktobers (4 total) on EBay

$20-25 seems to be the going rate for these right now.  I only got 2x of the Warriors and I'm keeping those for now (best one IMO).  Going back today for more to continue the 20% off City/Superheroes plus promo.

Nice to finally see that the people who said GBH's best days were already over when the QF period was done end of 2015 were probably wrong. I had a gut feeling right from the beginning that GBH might become something big, so I went in for nearly 30 of it last year, all by orders, none bought for money.

For those outrageous FBA prices what's the fees or shipping costs. Real profit?

almost 10% over FBM? that's kind of high to ship something this small.

I didn't read the relevant posts before that . I just thought it was a general question . Still gonna be over 20%

$36 - Series 1 Microfighter Clone Turbo Tank ($8.42 or 23%)

$79 - Gingerbread House ($14.84 or 19%)

$50 - The Werewolf 9463 ($11.50 or 23%)

$59 - 2015 SW Advent Calendar ($12.79 or 22%)

and I assign ~$0.50 each for shipping into Amazon, though it often works out lower than that for small or medium sets.

And people call it "Feebay."

Still, for the ease and higher prices, I can't beat FBA for a lot of sets.

...but I don't pay to ship.  I'll bet the Werewolf and SW Advent FBA fees are lower than EBay/Paypal/shipping to most of the country AND I wouldn't get those prices on EBay right now.  Probably comparable or a little higher for the First Class-eligible, but prices and volume are leaps and bounds higher.

Ok, Rip Van Winkle. I bet we get a remake before then just like with 7965. No way Lego leaves money on the table.

Sold my used Batman Tumbler 76023 on BL for $238.45 shipped.  Buy in was $172.

Monster Fighters - the werewolf. £35 shipped. Buy in was £10.

Santas visit 40125 29.99 FBA. Probably sold too early.
