Sorry for the double post. Gonna have to up the price quite a bit on the IST's. Sold 2 today. Definitely enough demand out there from what I'm seeing so far.

Gonna have to add d & m to "up the price" and dump the price before the new IST's hit the shelves in the summer wave!

You can start panicking after Nurenberg fair reveal next week. Until then, business as usual.

Too late.

Too late.

last week started off slow but things picked up late Sunday night.

sold (all new) the following for $680

• 2 Batman move CMF sets (basically paid for the set my kids are sharing). $90 each.
• 2 Antman final battle sets.
• 1 60013 City Coast Guard Helicopter
• 1 75005 Rancor Pit
• 2 Jurassic World Raptor Escape sets.

Bit of a bummer sale: sold a Ghost on BL for $140. Had raised my prices previously but forgot to update my BL listing and someone found it  ah well, still almost doubled my buy-in, but it could have been at least $30 more....

I hate it when that happens. Always on BL for me.

Sold two 21018 Architecture UN HQ's with annoying pricestickers for € 185 cash in hand. Buy-in was € 100.

Sold 10 miniVW $329.90
A few days ago. Sent the guy a message that I got more and would give him a $20 discount if he bought 4 or more.
So he bought another 10 for 309.90.

Nice! If he were one of us, he would've tried to split the order and get $20 off twice.

And here the CEO thought he was retiring.

Just over £80 after fees etc on a full set of Disney Figs a couple of days ago again. Bought in the Tesco 3-4-2 mid last year. Nice. Should be able to do better on the rest in 6 months time etc maybe.

Accidentally made my first sale on Amazon, lol.  Some Dimensions packs for $5 each.  Yes, they were 99 Cent Store pickups.

Accidentally, because I was just getting my feet wet looking at FBA and FBM selling, and wasn't even intending to sell LEGO in my Amazon Store.  I just threw up something in there to test things out, and didn't realize I had made it live.

congratulation on the sale.

i am hoping that it was $5 + shipping. if its only $5 then you are going to lose money on that.

$5-$1-$1.35=$2.50 [ not sure you may be hit with the variable listing fee of 0,99 on top of that ]

Yes, with shipping. Broke even in shipping. I made almost exactly $2 on each one.

I've since raised the price on the remaining stock, lol. Wasn't try to sell them so low.

if you sold via amazon then i don't think you can even break even. i am pretty sure you lost money on that.

$5(selling price) - $1(15% or $1 fee) - $1,35 (video game referral fee) - $0,99 ( selling variable fee unless you are in professional selling plan) = $1,66

cheapest shipping via amazon for 6 oz weight will be about $2,83 [ remember that the price went up ] 

$1,66-2,83 = (1.17)

your loss is (1.17)+ (product cost)

if you are in professional selling plan. your loss is (0.18)+ (product cost)

overall you paid to sell your item

I think that by saying "with shipping" he means he got $4.99 shipping credit (or whatever the credit is that this item gets from FBM). So your $2.16 loss becomes a $1.83 or $2.83 profit that way. 100% or 200% ROI

Nice. I made my first ever sale on eBay a few days ago. Full set of Disney figs. After my cost, fees, and shipping, I think I made about $50 CAD.

Yep pretty close to my math. Well not my math - Amazon's. I'm just going from the sales report that shows $5.82 owed to me by Amazon.

I'm not on a seller account (yet), but an individual account. I wasn't planning on selling yet - I wanted to check some things out while I'm looking at a couple of different markets.

I got rid of a 75917 Raptor Rampage for $59.99 on eBay. It was just taking up space. Need MOAR moneys.

$143 Ultrasonic Raider 9449 (bought for $30 from FB Marketplace 3 weeks ago)

$50 Green Arrow poly x7 (not bad since I don't have the BB)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If Valentine's Day + Girl = Obligation, then Selling + LEGO = Money. Therefore, LEGO = Money = Girl x Romancing.  

Math checks out. 

Sold a Wall-e for £60 with a Buy in of £20; a T-Rex Tracker for £100 with buy in of £20 (due to vouchers) Trevi Fountain for £70 with a buy in of £28. All with £1 eBay FVF offer.

You need a new calculator.
