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.

1x 70810 Sea Cow for RRP £169.99 - When I opened the box from LEGO there were 2 not just the 1 I ordered so therefore £169.99 profit! It was a long time since I purchased it so I thought... sod it, lovely jubbly. Just as well becasue this hasn't appreciated as much as expected.

Whoops. Wasn't watching my inventory over the holiday weekend. Sold my last The Mine on BL for $130. I'd been inching it up every month as the price has risen. Trying to make sure I wasn't the cheapest. Turns out $130 is now the lowest with some selling at $140. Ah well. To a happy home!

Minecraft the Mine or City the Mine?

Shouldn't speak for@donbee but I assume Minecraft The Mine.

I've topped out at $155 on eBay so far. Trying to inch up to $165. Wish I had a Tabby load more of these.

$130-$140 on BL, excluding shipping, is a great price. On par or better than $165 on EBay, with free shipping ($165-$15 to ship - $20 in fees = $130 as well). I might add a few of mine to BL

No you don't as I have none at all. I assume it's CITY not Minecraft? I've only had CITY Mine and sold them all for 2x soon after EOL as I had them at -50%.

Ha. Took the Tabby name in vain.
Mean wish I collected 100 of Minecraft The Mine.

I think in general the US crowd got these at -50%+ at Barnes & Noble clearance back in the spring.

Sales took. An uptick this past weekend. But today sold 2x Delorean $120 ea. Time to raise the price.

Sorry, it was Minecraft. Forgot there was another. 
Luckily, I found another today, buy in $80. I'll hold out until $150.

I'm trying to get out of holding on to large sets.
Takes up too much space. It's a big box, and needs a bigger box to ship.
So... I'll cash out on them this Christmas =)

Wish I could do the same with all these Super Hero ships I have (Darkseid, Milano, Blackbird....)
I'm not optimistic.

Set a CM record today. 397 orders shipped.  
Guess LEGO is still popular...

Are sales always good on CM for you?

Pushed through a Death Star 10188 for $480 on eBay, free ship. Bonus, the buyer lives 2 hours away, so shipping is only $10 Priority.

I guess I'm the lowest price on ebay.ca for Raptor Escapes at $120 plus shipping (from $12-18 so far). Not quite what you guys down south are getting for them on Amazon, but they're selling like hot cakes in a TRU parking lot. They sat and sat all summer long.

I'll have to dig them all out and count how many are left... my listing says "only 2 left!" but I know that's not true.

yeah always a strong weekend year in and out.  Think last year was about 280 for that weekend.  So pretty big increase.  Have some high volume of a few products this year that I had been building up from some Amazon loads so that had some to do with it.  For the most most part I am consistent throughout the year and a lot depends on the deals I have coming in.  June was our highest sales month this year and I won't come close to that even in December.  Roughly do 100 orders a weekday and 150ish on weekends throughout the year with some spikes here and there.  

Just took a look and sold 2017 items Nov 2015 versus 1603 so far this month but sales are up 3k this year with 1.5 days left

Managed to get rid of my GOTG Milano Spaceship Rescue over BF weekend

£90 from a buy in of £42

Wanted to get rid before a new one comes out with the new film. 

Not sure I'll get as lucky with Knowhere Escapes.

They just retired the set a month ago. No way a new Milano spaceship is coming out in three months.

Always thought you were in Ontario for some reason. Someone from Langley has undercut you by a few pennies, probably someone here! I sold my only 1 at $125 a month or more ago, those will disappear at $120.
