Quacs Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Yeah, wasn't advertised overly well, and when he sent me the set list, I went through recent sold listings and came up with about $1700 value. It also ended at about 1:30am central time, so I threw my bid in at about 10pm and hoped it would hold. Time to start up the mutual admiration society...I can't believe the deal you got on that listing. Most of these sets should sell quickly too - very nice.

BearCrash Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I put together a Technic mini tow truck with my son yesterday - the first Technic set I built in about 25 years. I really wanted to build a larger Technic set so I ordered a Mobile Crane II for 25% off. Looking forward to building it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Nice score Huskers! Those are the best kinds of lots. Plenty to build AND you make some money what are you gonna build first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolos80 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Woo-hoo! I finally got a tower bridge. $200 shipped. Now I just have to decide what to sell so I can make room for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Nice score Huskers! Those are the best kinds of lots. Plenty to build AND you make some money what are you gonna build first? Hard to say. We own many of the sets, so probably something we don't have like the new Falcon. I only have 4504 right now. My son said he wants to make our 4842 bigger, so we may combine the two into a big Hogwarts, but I need to make money, too. I was actually following that lot Huskers and thought the bidding would ramp up at the end and didn't want to stay up! Glad you got it though! Was very happy with the final number since it only went up about $150 after I went to sleep. Some new bidder with 0 feedback, probably the seller. Nah, I doubt it, after messaging him a few times, seemed like a nice guy that just didn't have the space for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Wow, now that's how you make someone's day and get a little karma on your side. Of course, they may have dropped it in the toilet and said "Don't flush it, put it on ebay for a buck". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I just purchased this lot of 26 star wars sets off of ebay. listed for $2k. I offered $1500 and they accepted right away (doh!). all are used, but 100% complete with all figs, manuals, and boxes. adult owned, display only. found out seller is downsizing their star wars room to only vintage items. current brickpicker value is $1850. I am starting to have second thoughts on this one, and don't think there will be a lot to make on these later. any thoughts and/or opinions? I plan on selling everything except maybe the death star. my son has wanted one for a long time. 10221 super star destroyer 10188 death star 6211 imperial star destroyer 10144 sand crawler 8038 battle of endor 7965 millennium falcon 10198 tantive IV 8097 slave I 7879 hoth echo base 7754 home one 9490 droid escape 7961 darth mauls infiltrator 8018 armored assault tank 8017 darth vader tie fighter 9496 desert skiff 7749 echo base 7956 ewok attack 8089 hoth wampa cave 6212 x wing fighter 8091 swamp speeder 9492 tie fighter 8092 lukes landspeeder 8083 rebel trooper battle pack 9489 rebel and imperial trooper battle pack 8084 snow trooper battle pack x2 I might not make much, if anything, but at least my son and I will have a blast this winter putting them all together before we sell them.

Some of the sets are not retired, so for them I would wait for them to retire and then sell them. For the others, it depends on the set. Some sets may still be growing.

emazers Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 All up to the 8097 sounded good, everything under that set I would not want. So my opinion is I would not have gotten these for $1500, but you said your son will have fun with them, but as a investment I don't like it.

The vader tie fighter is another one that I have had good success with in the past, but the rest of it I don't like. I should have offered 1200, but didnt want to insult them. Well, if we break even, but have fun with my son doing it, I guess that's not all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanfan34 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Quart bag of minifigs off of CL for $35. Looking interesting so far. Sand green Kasshykk Scout Trooper, old Spiderman, dagobah Luke Skywalker, and a 3346 green Ninja! The last one is especially random. Will probably post a pic later of some other stuff I can't identify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
