golong Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I remember reading on the forum some time ago a comment that "you are not an investor until you actually sell some of your lego. Until then you are simply a collector". I have been "collecting" lego now for about 12 months. Like a lot of people I am very much focused on the larger more exclusive sets as long term investments, however, a long the way I have picked up a number of freebies with purchases, such as the elf workshop and some polybags. I also purchased some of the original minecrafts sets with a few to trying to flip some around Christmas. Anyway I decided to list some of the freebies and minecraft in the lead up to Christmas, on Ebay. It has been a great buzz starting to make some sales ( I get a "chi-ching" noise on my phone app every time!) and actually starting to see that some money coming in. I managed to sell a mine craft box set of the 4 originals for 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 First of all, congratulations on your first sale(s). Yes, I remember my first lego sale. I made a whopping 50%+ profit on a 7632 City Crawler Crane (bought for 40 euro and sold for 62,50 euro) on my local Craig's List. Keep up the good work!

My 2 year old and 6 year old always yell out a "yay!" when they hear that sound. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Congrats! It is a feeling unlike any other (buying into a great deal is an experience all its` own). Nothing makes this more exciting than logging into your eBay home page and seeing the little notification bell lit up. Congrats! Ding, Ding, Ding!!!
