brickbuyer230 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 A Large part of my investing comes from polybags. I have found that these small sets will turn larger profits around holidays, people use them as stocking stuffers and put them in Easter baskets. You can also get minifigs and specialty pieces cheap, far below the secondary market. Heres a few I have picked up recently if anyone is interested. - WINZARS PACK PATROL - TC-14 - GANDALF AT GALDUIR - FRODO'S COOKING CORNER - SPACE INSECTOID [30231] - GHOST W.

Sauromosis Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm warming up to it with the Friends ones for sure, and you can mail them in a shipping envelope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm warming up to it with the Friends ones for sure, and you can mail them in a shipping envelope. Same here. My wife bought about 16 from TRU last night with the BOGO 50% off sale. They came out to just under $4 each. I am thinking they may be around $15-20 during Christmas if we are lucky. I know they aren't going to make me a lot of money but they seem so easy to sell and ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Polybags are very easy and cheap to ship. That can help you get a little bit more money off of them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Polybags have to be the easiest things to store out of the entire world of LEGO sets. I think they get dismissed by some people because they are small and don't bring in as much as a larger boxset. I understand that you need to sell many to make a lot but it is possible to make two to three times what you paid for one by selling it. Polybags are certainly odd ones to get a hold of in the first place, being 'exclusive' to one store or another. That is one reason as to why there will always be a willing buyer out there that just HAS TO HAVE that one poly! Another reason is the stores that carries them can never just keep the damn things in one bloody spot! I get tired of constantly searching high & low at Target to find those 'exclusive' ones just to come up empty again & again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eracine Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 what do you think is the most valuable poly out there? I have quite a few Andrea at the beach 30100 which is selling for 27.99 on ebay right now! I am amazed at this but it was an exclusive in the UK.

TheOrcKing Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 can you please post some pics of what polybags look like? thank you. I take it that you are asking what polybags look like in general? That's how it sounds to me. I've attached three images for referance, hope it helps.

Ed Mack Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Polybags are some of the biggest % gainers out there. Look for the Easter polybags in Target and Walmart in the seasonal sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Polybags are some of the biggest % gainers out there. They really are. I think polybags fit well as a nice niche for the general collector and most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
