Hi All

I don't want to sell them, but needing some cash for a new deck(the wife wins) I recently placed an ad in CL for my collection:

 

Lego 10221 Super Star Destroyer QTY: 4 All Mint in Box
Lego 10188 Death Star QTY: 2 New in Box. one box has seal broken 
Lego 10227 B wing QTY: 2 All Mint in Box
Lego 9516 Jabba's Palace QTY: 4 All Mint in Box
Lego 75005 Rancor's Pit QTY: 2 Both Mint in Box
Lego 9526 Papaltines Arrest QTY: 1 Mint in Box
Lego 7964 Republic Frigate QTY: 1 Mint in Box

 

Asking 4K..what do u think...I might try ebay next

out of curiosity, what's your location? I'm sure a local from this site might bite.

 

Quick math tells me this is about 3300-3500 retail cost. Not sure you'll get 4k, but it's at least a good starting point so you dont get 1k offers.

I would think that you are going to struggle selling that lot at that price. Good sets, but when people spend that kind of money, they want a deal. You would probably have a whole lot more luck trying to sell them separately. More work = more profits. IMO......

thanks for the feedback!

I have had a lot more luck buying on CL than selling. Prepare to get low offers. 

definitely try ebay and list them before the 15th

why the 15th?

You'll get decent offers on the SSD's as they appear to be headed out. Don't accept less than 450 on those.

 

the rest you will get low-balled on.

 

the 14th is the last day you can set up a recurring fixed price auction for free on ebay. they're going to start charging 30 cents per again.

 

In your position, its not much money relative to your sets prices but every bit counts.

The only Problem you could have selling the SSD on Ebay is people paying $500 or more now and then Lego has extra to sell this month and then some buyers will want there money back.

I would at least wait to sell the SSD. If the SSD is indeed on its way out you will be very disappointed you missed the profits that one will bring at EOL. The others, put them on ebay with reasonable prices. You will sell them. I think.

Do you think I'm asking too little? I'm in at approx. $160 taxes included with a couple of bucks for gas. First time I've bought Chima sets. What would you want for this lot if your lady said get rid of this pile over here, Now!

ps. sorry for reviving an older thread.

I don't think you're too low to move that quickly. Her idea of "now" dictates the loss of a little profit. You may need to go even lower.

I figured someone would bite at $275ish.
