Guest Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Do people make money with these? After barely getting rid of ToT for $20 shipped and not selling any Thanksgiving for $20 shipped, where is the money? After fees and shipping and materials I get around $3 per set. And that's the ones I managed to sell. Thanksgiving will have to be sold at break even to even sell any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered these along with 5 Winter Fun sets so I also got a train (and double points). So I saw these more as an easy way to get some freebies for myself rather than a way to make some money. In the end I spent $100 & will have netted 3 free sets & 200 VIP points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I make money on these sets selling them locally. No fees, no shipping. I did great at Halloween time, selling last year's Halloween bat, plus this year's set. All for taking the time to meet people for less than 5 minutes in convenient locations for me.

ravenb99 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 happy with 4 bucks per set, x200 min of each one x 6 sets a year. 1200x4 = 4800 still selling last years as well. put up all of them and all in bulk, be surprised how many buy 2,4 or more. Thats where you knock that $4 margin up not sure what people would expect out of $9-10 set while its available, and possibly coming back later down the road... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I don't have whatever you have that allows me to buy 200 of a limit 5 set from lego. 15 minutes ago, ravenb99 said: happy with 4 bucks per set, x200 min of each one x 6 sets a year. 1200x4 = 4800 still selling last years as well. put up all of them and all in bulk, be surprised how many buy 2,4 or more.

And that's the ones I managed to sell. Thanksgiving will have to be sold at break even to even sell any. Me. Listen, in many other goods based businesses, 25% profit is a decent deal for basically doing some work and passing product through. I've sold at least 10 of each of these sets, many of which I was also able to buy with double points and/or get a train. So those extras aside, I easily sell 10-20 of each set, even at $2.50/set that's a minimum of $25 I have that you don't. Is my earnings per hour equal to yours? Heck no! But selling a good volume at a good return makes money. And I have the time right now to keep up with this. RavenB- do you do as well with the brick built animals? These vignettes have put my foot in the door, but I'm worried the whole thing will fall apart when we have ridiculous puppies instead of incredible vignettes that have an excellent bricks assortment for builders too.

Unless you're buying in bulk, you won't see much return. There's a lot of christmas sets this year. Most likely to make up for there not being an additional holiday building this year. Hopefully you already have the train. Get some of these and the gingerbread house as well when that promo comes out on the 27th. Sell as a bundle. You're the more attractive seller if you can offer everything in one purchase. Selling four sets (which should fit in a medium flat rate box) will probably run you about $13 shipping. That's better than the $24 you'd spend shipping these in 4 individual small flate rate boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodibricks Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I hardly ever see flat rate as savings for LEGO sets. 1 of these sets should ship first class for sure. I just shipped a turkey (40091) in an 8x6x4" box for $2.74 and that'd be the same anywhere in the US. My 4 Bricktobers in a set from CA to KY was $8.99 Priority Mail, so in most cases, that should save over the medium flat-rate if you bundle the seasonals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillreign Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Are the two seasonals gone (40125,40124) ?! Can't access them on the german SAH page.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffProbst Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Winter Fun was there about 12 hours ago when I ordered a couple with Dr Who. They are searchable but an error page comes up when you click them now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoray01 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Doesn't seem to be listed any where on US SAH. Can not be searched for either (or at least if you search for it you don't find it) It's like it vanished. All of its brothers are still out there and sold out but this one - It just never existed.
