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.

Those Batman Battle Pods just keep going up!

Last time I went, I only grabbed one because there wasn't $30 worth of SW I wanted at RRP. I wasn't sure I'd get $30 for it, let alone $40!

R2 poly for $25 shipped eBay. Sold it while I was driving home from the Lego store.

I sold 2x 10240, one MISB for 320 Euros, the other used for 200 (I bought it used for 140) cash in hand. For some reason, lots of interest this week in good ol' Red 5. Maybe an uptick in Europe?

Nah, instruction books have no value for me, so this made me $0.84 (excluding overhead).

This morning I sold a used / complete 4842 Hogwarts Castle for $305/shipped on eBay. I purchased it a couple of weeks ago for $150 off of my local Offerup. I also purchased a used / complete 4195 Queen Anne's Revenge for $150 from the same person. The Hogwarts covers the cost of my initial buy in on this transaction, so whatever I sell the Queen Anne for will be pure gravy. I love finding local deals like these, as few and far between as they are.

That's great news on 4842, as well.

I pulled one out of a bulk lot 2 years ago, and flipped it for $200.

Damn, I was hoping for a Joker Steamroller sale story.

Good. Only 8 more to go and mine becomes more viable.
At last I'm no longer the QFLL from FL. Or at least I'm not the only one.

I got it really cheap from a closing KMart, months ago.  It's like the 3rd time it's sold, the first 2 times to people who think I'm Amazon and can ship for free.

Plus after last summer's WM clearances I had waaay too much stock, with only one small walk-in closet (where my clothes also live), I need to keep moving stock. I just try to pay for all my collection sets.

Sold my first Lincoln!

I'm officially impressed. Some how my $56.99 listing on BL rose to the top. Was the cheapest available. Buy in was

Less than $17.

I'll start raising the price and releasing my inventory slowly.

congratulations. its all about selection and buying correct set lot of people got burnt by villa savoy [ 21014 ]

Sold a Tumbler for £250. Buy in was £140 and with eBay £1 FVF will clear £90. Not out of this world but still a 65% return for a little over a year hold. Again all about buy in and minimising costs to maximise your margins. Business school 101.

I got lucky and got my Villas late. So I got 60% on two in less than a year, but my buy in was fairly low. Kind of wish I got more at this point.
Because of Villas and IH, I was hesitant to go to heavy in to Lincoln and White House, but since Lincoln is significantly cheaper, it was hard to pass up.
