gupsterg Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) LEGO Speed Champions 75909: McLaren P1 at £8.11 on Amazon.co.uk using discounted GC cards = £6.93, is it worth buying more than 1? (slightly better than the 3 for 2 at TD as price there is £11.11, so £7.40 a set). Edited October 28, 2016 by gupsterg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay too much tax and she looks after me I try to keeps profits to < £10k for minimal tax purposes & hoard the rest for the next financial year. Dont want to sell too much as dont have time so my prices are always above rrp (after ebay fees). Same here. Since I gave up work last April, I'm still way off the £10k profit threshold with LEGO. I also offset a lot of it by "Selling part of my personal collection" as advised by my accountant. I also claim storage space, petrol, some meals and even depreciation on "turkey" sets. See an accountant and it's not as scary as it first sounds. If any of you buy/sell several of the same item, you should inform HMRC asap and get yourself set up with a Government Gateway and UTR code. I know none of us wants to pay tax but, there's simply no choice and you stand to lose everything if caught (eBay WILL inform them if they suspect you of trading). I fill out a tax return anyway as I rent out property and it's a lot easier than you think. I run a spreadsheet that works out all eBay/PayPal fees, packing materials & postage costs automatically as soon as I enter a set that's been sold. Oh... an eBay business account has a lower FVF rate than a person account and you have a lot more kudos from potential buyers. Tax isn't taxing but, being caught is! I should know, I got slapped with a huge fine about 15 years ago that wiped out all the profit I made that year and then some! Remember, another competitor can simply grass you up to HMRC.

HandyHand Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Funny, just when I was thinking of buying the Droid Escape Pod this afternoon, but decided against, Amazon UK lowered the price tonight! Enough for me to order some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is there's no chance of you cornering the market of any given set and keeping prices high, never mind a whole line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because I've only just bought these sets, not selling them just yet so turnover is still low. Of course, all eBay transactions will be recorded and itemised on my accounts spreadsheet by end of tax year. If somebody wants to pay cash for a job lot then that's another story ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiliusThunderhead Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hey guys - really had a good time reading all the updates yesterdays. Some of the posts getting a little off topic now. Hate to be that guy but can you put set comparison, strategies "questions" etc in the relavant thread please? After all the recent doom and gloom posts (bubble, retiring soon but down beat) this thread made a great change mind (sorry to the guys on the continent who couldn't take advantage)! If your 1a deal wasn't there hit the 1b (and 1c and 1d for some). Sad but actually made my day (was having a stinker). Truly was what the fun part of all this is about. So great reading yesterday - but can we try to make this thread as deal related as possible? Thanks guys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karl lewis Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 My first post after lurking for some time. This may be of interest to a certain person at least. Tesco has reduced the price of set 60124 (Volcano Exploration Base) to £44.99. It was £49.49 yesterday. Made the deal so good that i had to get some after spending what i thought was all my money yesterday. http://www.tesco.com/direct/lego-city-volcano-exploration-base-60124/527-4164.prd?source=others 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
