September 23, 201312 yr sold a mini vw camper but I guess there was too much air in the polybag so it goy charged as a parcel for shipping. instead of 1.34 packet I had to pay $14.xx! only like 7.xx profit instead of $20.xx. how tragic!!! :'( on another note, sold harry potter and hungarian horntail for $160 local sale. The Royal Mail also sting you on items that are a little oversized. I get round this by poking a tiny hole in the bag with a pin very close to a corner and then squeeze it a little. TBH... I've not sold a single set so far this year, I'll see what's being listed come Xmas and then decide.
September 23, 201312 yr Author Mostly been unloading minifigures lately. Son's a bit worn out by Star Wars so I've been clearing out figures that weren't part of sets. As for sets, sold a used City Corner for $60 shipped(paid $30 new), a couple Forbidden Forests for $29 shipped(paid $10), and a Kingdoms 7949 Prison Carriage Rescue for $20 shipped(paid $10). Pretty small stuff lately, but they all add up.
September 23, 201312 yr I sold some used Indiana Jones Lego sets for $170 that I picked up for $50 (used w/boxes, instructions and the "extra" pieces for each set). 7196 - Chauchilla Cemetery Battle 7621 - Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb 7625 - River Chase 7682 - Shanghai Chase I also got 7628 - Peril in Peru in that original $50 but the buyer didn't want it.
September 23, 201312 yr 1 LEGO City Advent Calendar 4428. Bought for about $20, sold for $30, so not bad. It was just listed for a while.
September 24, 201312 yr A while back I picked up a lot of 12 Kingdoms sets, & I sold the last one today. Total profit was $230 Now I'm working through a huge Star Wars lot of about 30 sets new & used. I've sold about half and made my money back already Last sale was a NIB Podracers, which I was actually kind of sad to see it go. I was almost hoping it would never sell, then I could have built it. Oh well.
September 24, 201312 yr Author Sold a used,complete with box Siege Tower 6061 for $60 shipped (paid $10) and a 2012 Holiday set for $33 shipped ( Freebie).
September 24, 201312 yr Used Indiana Jones Jungle Duel - $44 w/ shipping Used SW Royal Guard Minifigure - $9 w/ shipping
September 24, 201312 yr In a lot I got a bunch of Chima minifigs. They just don't move for some reason very well... Anyway, got a buyer who wanted them all - made them a deal and actually came out with about $30 profit from a bunch of chima stuff. Whoo!
September 26, 201312 yr Hogwarts Castle (used) for $250 Nice. I grabbed one for $130 that was missing 3 pieces... that cost me a total of $.75. Gonna look for $250ish for it after I clean it up.

Whoo! does $145 for 29 chima minifigs sound good for flip'****** ? 5-wolf, lion, eagle 6-crocs 4-crow 1-ape
September 26, 201312 yr does $145 for 29 chima minifigs sound good for flip'****** ? 5-wolf, lion, eagle 6-crocs 4-crow 1-ape I don't like it. Mine sold for decent money but they sat and sat. I don't think they are quite as individually collectible. If you are ok to sit on them, might not be a bad deal, but your at about $4.50 per meaning on Ebay you are going have to get at least $7.50 a fig on Ebay to make a profit.
September 26, 201312 yr Nice. I grabbed one for $130 that was missing 3 pieces... that cost me a total of $.75. Gonna look for $250ish for it after I clean it up. Hogwarts Castle (used) for $250 This gives me even more hope as some of you know i've been stockpiling new and sealed Hogwarts Castle sets for the last 3 months. if only i was into investing when these sets were selling for less than retail. ugh

If you have a reliable, below retail supplier, buy as much as you can!
September 26, 201312 yr The used Hogwarts I list always sell at $250. It may take a little longer, but I have never had to re-list them. Still have 1 more
