Sfcommando14 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Anyone BL'ed this one? I've never used Bricklink, but I really have a hard time convincing myself to open one of these when they're selling so high. Thanks in advance!

I don't know what they sell for in the US, but they're going for £30 in the UK and it costs £28 (ex shipping) to bricklink it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I always sell my "good" promo sets at least a year after to maximise profit and the GBH Is a prime example. My London Buses, Snow Globes and "Mini Advents" have been put away until at least Xmas 2017. If a set takes up little space, what's the rush!

Voltron Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Only selling between £35-40 on ebay UK. I personally don't think it's worth keeping the majority of lego promos as only a handful go up in price after the initial big price of first day release, then it's a race to the bottom... Snow Globe is now selling for £25-27 from thr initial pre-order price of £50 ( not sure how many people actually paid that price). It should go up by next year, but for the sake of a few pounds increase, I think the more likely danger is worried that promos might come back later, So I'll take as much money I can get straightaway. This promo is definitely one of the sets which performs different in UK / North America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying to be mean or snarky, but seriously it's hard to move a variety of product via Craigslist only. I found out shipping takes too much of my time too, which is why I'm exiting the game. Good luck to ya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poly 30286 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 @mudcatsfan I was never really in the game. I'm more of a frugal collector than reseller. I divested most of my duplicates (I was using the buy two, build one & sell another approach) earlier this year. I still have quite a few promos that I'd like to get out of my closet. I did manage to sell a Christmas Train and Gingerbread House bundle via CL this summer, but no action since. I hate to lose on shipping and selling fees, so that's a big reason I pulled out. Buying is really fun, but selling can be dreadful. P.S. Reposted in Brick Classifieds just in case Update: Sold via BC overnight. Hooray! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying is really fun, but selling can be dreadful. P.S. Reposted in Brick Classifieds just in caseYou would easily sell this for more than your CL price on BrickLink. Like x1.5 and rising. That would far offset your fees hesitation. Shipping small promos is easy. Sellers pay shipping so that is moot. I think your hassle and potential for a scam is pretty low on BL. I'm missing the downside. Admittedly I'm biased as I personally see CL as a last resort marketplace. Yes there is a learning curve for setting up your store, but just a little motivation now would make what hasn't worked for you much better. BL is surprisingly friendly to the casual shop. If you shop there for parts you already know half of the system. Anyway, good luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozei Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I was never really in the game. I'm more of a frugal collector than reseller. One last thought on this...You might find a BL seller that is interested in buying your stock. I know there are some that do fullfillment for others. This could be a percentage of sales or an outright "wholesale" sell to them. Your state probably has a bunch of sellers that you could work with and avoid also shipping your inventory. Scope the BL seller list by state. Ask at a LUG meeting if you do that (what if any instate seller fellow buyers like/trust). Obviously this tack nets you less, but reset your expectations and enjoy a lower stress method. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazuli16 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Sometimes procrastination pays off. I never got around to listing it last year. We're close to $200 on ebay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I can't believe what this is going for now. It jumped from $100 to $200 in just a few weeks on ebay. amz price is $300, prob too risky to sell there though. It's a cute set but jeez. Happy I set a few aside.

All the people that should have been buying Pet Shops! Incredible how some sets are able to buck the trend for no apparent reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
