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.

Actually, I just sold a B-wing and shipped it out yesterday. with shipping, tracking and insurance ($200), it's 36 bucks, it's a huge set.

 

I think the bottom line for buyers are the total price that they are paying. If you are listing it as free shipping, your bidding price will most likely higher, and vice versa. At the end of the end, the person are paying the total cost.

 

when I first started, i used mostly auction instead of buy it now. These days, it really depends on what I am trying to sell. 

for the B-wing, I listed it as buy it now and let it sit. Usually buy it now ends up with a higher price, people are willing to pay a bit higher to get the set now, instead of starting a bidding war with others and have to wait for the auction to end.

 

for the quick flip sets/minifigures/polybag that's high demanding, I find that it's more 'fun' to do it auction. Because I like to see people 'fight' for my set, and I know that it's almost guarantee that it will meet a certain expected price.

 

Hope that helps.

My preference is for buyer pay actual shipping.  A closer buyer will bid or pay more since shipping is lower and they will save and you will pay less fees to ebay shipping charges so you will save.  The package will take less time to arrive and if they are within a few shipping zones of you your ebay shipping discount will be larger since priority shipping will be comprable to Standard post.  Its a win/win/win in my book.  IF the item is very rare or desirable the buyer won't care about the extra charges to ship to them on the other coast.

i think bricklinking it should be far cheaper.   about 12 months ago, i purchase the bride and groom w/ the manual for maybe $20-$25 total (my son's set).  Everything else is pretty cheap.  Good luck.

Thanks.  I don't even care about the bride, or the instructions.  I just want the set for our Halloween Town.

Was that a sealed/new set, or used?  I've got a 4842 I'm putting together from a CL bulk set I bought.  Would love to get north of $200 for it.

Sold the Ghost Train, some Simpsons minifigures and also a bunch of bricks.

It was a used one. It sat on eBay for just under two weeks and you should be able to sell yours for over 200+ shipping with little difficulty.

If it's complete, you should get $250 for it.  That's what I grossed for mine (shipping included).

Great, thanks guys.  I haven't done my research on it yet, since I'm still working on.  I appreciate the quick feedback.

 

I just finally pulled all the pieces for it from the bulk lot.  I'm missing 8 pieces and one minifig from it.  I'm starting the search in my Bricklink/bulk inventory for the last 8 pieces now.  I have instructions, no box.  I need to put it together and take my photos, too.  So, a few weeks out from selling.  But good to hear.
