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.

vehicle transporter 60060 - $78 FBA (been slowly selling through at this price while everyone undercuts, was my last one so I posted)
a cargo truckload of heartlake private jets 41100 - $36 ($9 FM clearance) - I was selling them slowly in the $42 range, but just sent in another shipment to amazon and wanted to sell through some of my stuff just sitting there
 
I have my stash of larger sets like ewok villages, tumblers, etc that I have collected over the last two years, but the real money makers for me are these small to medium sized sets that no on here posts about.
I have a ton of elf and first production princess sets I am fairly confident will do well
 

When I saw this earlier I thought, " hmm.. I should check the price on mine." Sure enough, i sold one 60060 tonight for $40 on BL before I could check. Which wasn't the lowest, but still if I'd know the price crept up that high, I would've raise it $5 at least. Buy in was $16, and the box is rough. So I'm not gonna complain too much.

Time to check my inventory and raise some prices =)

What?? What is up w/ that ice cream set? I've done plenty of "why would anyone pay ___much for ___" but this takes the cake (& ice cream).

Shoot, I had one somewhere, might've given it away as a gift.

I just went through an emotional rollercoaster of jubilation and disdain. I must be getting jaded.

I just received an order for 39x 40252. Very excited because I had feared I would have to drop my prices to get rid of the batch I just picked up this weekend. Now I regret that I didn't buy more when I had the chance (my wife is going to rub it in because she told me to buy more. In fact she bought more than I did). But that regret was tempered by the reality that I'm going to have to figure out how to pack 39 (or more, gonna try to unload more on this guy) of these into one box, very securely. Packing has become a lot of work. But at least the profit is good. So I tried to focus on that when I received my second order.

A 460 piece order on BL, consisting of 167 unique pieces, for $25...

It's almost pure profit, and I have a box for them. But it will take hours to find all of those pieces. I have the worst inventory system for this kind of order.

I guess the silver lining is that I've been rethinking my "system" and now I have an excuse for an upheaval while I fulfill this order. It's going to be a long week.
