Traded my last 10224 Town Hall, poly VW Bus and a poly Mini for a 10212 Imperial Shuttle.
I’ve been wanting this set since I started this thing. 

10212 is a white whale of mine. I’ve built 10224. It’s only okay IMO. I think it was a good trade. Congrats!

Whoa, I thought selling 75533 for $100 last week was too good to be true 

Same here.  I sold my last two FBM last week.

You guys! I'm digging mine out.

75279 Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar 2020. Found a few in a book store in the morning for 15€ (50% off), sold almost immediately für 40€ cash. My quickest quick flip ever. I wonder what these will sell for next year.

Sold through a healthy stack of 41329 Olivia's Deluxe Bedroom at $50 FBA over the last few days. 3x RRP and more ($15 set).

Also marks me passing 200% lifetime ROI on all my LEGO sales (3000+ sets sold and counting). Nice hobby

Been QFLL'ing star wars advents..sold 6 in the last 24 hours. Buy-in $30, selling for $60. 

There are still pockets of these available in my area. Found 14 today. Left some due to damaged boxes..

Only clearing $12 per sale, but whatever...

That is crazy high - I'm around 135% over a pretty long lifetime (which I believe is extremely high). Do you sell the dogs, or are you holding onto the sets that haven't appreciated yet?

I thought I might have recalled him mentioning something that benefitted his ROI early on (2 years ago maybe), but I wasn't sure if I was remembering who the correct poster was.

My final KMart tally was $14k+ of LEGO for $2.5k, basically an average of 82% off. That, and the fact that I somehow also managed to pick quite a few winners amongst those definitely help. But my non-KMart investments are doing pretty good too.

My other Olivia's sets just started moving as well on FBA ... 41307 Olivia's Creative Lab for $50, that's 5xRRP. Talking about winners

Before COVID hit there was a store by me that had a wall of the superhero girls high school on discount. Finally got back there last week and they still had 8 so I got them all plus all their Harry Potter Aragon sets (I’d already sold 4 of these for 4 times what I paid) and just now sold one of the high schools already for twice what I paid.

Razor crest is sold out in Europe, I managed to sell mine for close to double my buy in after fees within a day.

That is a tough question, that depends on available storage space and expected appreciation vs other sets.

I sell the dogs 2 years after EOL regardless of the price, most of the time the seller rank is really bad and you have to price 20-30% below going price to move some numbers.

Hope it helps.

I just sold 10212 last night for $550.00.  That was one of my favorite all time Lego sets to build.  Great SNOT techniques, huge, impressive display size, interesting Technic gear train inside to fold up the wings...it's a really cool set.

 

 

EBay. 2x 21003 Seattle Space Needle.

1 for $85+shipping

1 for $90+shipping

I believe I paid @ $15 ea.

You sell on eBay? Seems like only going for £100-105 now.

Seems like might be worth selling at that price for shipping and fees, mamight be better to hold if it is supposedly going Q3 2021, unless you manage to sell during £1 FVF promo

I've given up on Facebook marketplace, people just keep on low-balling and saying present is for kid and can't afford more, someone even messaged saying they are on furlough so can I give them discount, felt like replying back saying why you buying lego then lol

yea i know looollll.

£100 no offers please

 

i'll give you £50 cash lol

I see stocks at retail stores dwindling, maybe claw back a little if you can otherwise no stock when it eventually retires. I can't imagine how lego keeps up its catalogue for next year.

are folks holding onto the Slave 1 Anniversary set?

obviously sell off the Razor Crests since it ain't retiring...both are hot right now (both around $200 when include shipping-ebay)...but obviously Slave 1 (currently) has the higher ceiling

Holding on very tightly. Sold off previous version wayyy too early and left over $150 on the table per set. Its only going up, likely $300 by Q4 2021. Why would you sell? Unless you have 100's but even then.... ride the gain....

There is some value in selling off quickly. Getting $200 for slaves purchased a week ago for $75? Nothing to regret about that, especially if you use the money wisely.
