That's awesome. The potter theme sure has some legs on it. I didn't buy a lot of this theme when they were readily available in stores unfortunately, but I've done well with the few sealed sets I have acquired as well as a couple used lots that I pieced back together and sold. I wish I would have bought more of these when Barnes had them. I only bought five and have three left.

Yeah, I wish my collection had more but I was about 1 year too late buying stuff.

This $125 lot had all the sets from the 2010 and 2011 except the big Hogwarts, Burrow, and the train. Still Not bad considering my last 4 Hagrid Hutts sold for $80 each. They all arrived today but haven't had a chance or open the shipping box as the wife is home...lol. I'll take a pic when posting about it in the buying thread.

This theme is proving to be timeless so far with the amount of fans.

I'll start selling the trains once they hit $200 (or so) used with box.

Almost sold a Helm`s Deep and Uruk-Hai Army for $220 U.S. but the buyer just canceled stating "the shipping is too high". Oh well, almost got that nice return. Better luck over Christmas. 

nice going on the Helms deep! ebay?

Yep!  Put one in at that price several months ago as a placeholder.  

helms deep for $200, spongebob 3817 for $35, both free shipping

 

Nicely done on both of those. 

 

I picked up a 3817 on AWH last month for $4, I think?  I should probably list it now.

A nice surprise:

Hobbit Barrel Escape for $48 shipped

I always read this set as Heartbreak Stables. I guess that is where you go to put down your horse

I hear the horses are euthanised at 3188 Heartbreak Vet

Heatlake Vet, Heartlake Stables, & Olivia's Treehouse - $220 shipped. It only cost me $5.71 to ship them USPS Priority 2-Day, since the buyer is in Michigan (same region as me). USPS gave me a 51% shipping discount on this sale, not sure why.

The instructions, stickers, and poster from the QAR all new sealed for $50

You didn't need them?

You didn't need them?

Well I was thinking about hanging the poster over my bed next to the one of Farrah Fawcett

I used the ipad for the instructions and I rarely use stickers, I don't like how they look plus I suck at putting them on. The BP has NO stickers it is a real mans set.

eBay. I actually was surprised since it's early. I'm kicking myself for passing on a few of these at walmart when they had them for $40 in March....

I did too, I bet I passed on 50 of these clearanced out at KMart for $24.50 and Wal-Mart for $40.

Sold my last Big Zoo for $114.55. Will miss them.

Ouch...$24.50 was a good price! Can't win them all I guess!

I grabbed 5 or 6 at that price when I was first getting into this game.  I was like, hmmmm, why are they so cheap?  Hindsight is 20/20.

2) 2 Tie Fighters ($80 each) and 1 Jabba's Palace ($150), for $310 total, which is more than 100% above what I paid within the past 6 months. Who says Star Wars is tired?
