This is exactly what happens when people have no clue what they own, and don't take the time to do a little online research. I'm quite jealous of you man!

exciter1 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 2X Vampyre Castles at Meijer (BOGO 50% off). Came out to $75 each plus tax. Also bought 4X Swamp Creature and 4X Mummy. Nice, glad I could help someone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich B Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Just picked up two 5766 Creator Log Cabin's for $23 a piece on Amazon. I don't see them becoming big investment winners, but that's okay since it looks really cool to combine two of them together to build an even bigger log cabin, which I will do if they are an investment flop.

spener90 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 2 New Queen Anne's Revenge on Amazon for $150 each. They were on for a few minutes I think, might have just been lucky timing. I though this was a good deal for them at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 right on......well whatever you are trying out I hope it works out for you! My strategy probably could use a little tweaking as well. It is a bit more aggressive than it was before, certainly I am dealing with a much higher volume than I was. It has taken some time to sit down and work out the finer details to it. I've been working on a kind of grading system on what sets I think will sell well, compare current Australian RRPs v international prices, potential increases due to international markets, how high the ceiling might be which determines how many of each set I should look at acquiring in comparison to other sets. Of course, it could all be for absolutely nothing because sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to. My Lego budget is definitely much higher than it was through alot of financial maneouvering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chess227 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I was in a new Walmart today to see if they had any clearance deals and nothing to really note, but as I was looking through their main lego section, I found a Harry Potter Forbidden Forest (4865) set somebody had just stuck there. It felt like it had sticker residue on it where somebody had removed the red clearance sticker, so I took it to a scanner and it scanned for $4.00. Not a huge win, but I'll take free money when I can find it. Also grabbed a Bat Mobile polybag (30161) for my son to build... He will like the fact the car has fire coming out the back.

Jackson Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I guess I am misunderstanding the definition of "free" in this context. Searching for, listing, packaging, and shipping an item sounds a lot like work, which means the money earned from the sale isn't free. If I found a 10-dollar bill on the ground while taking a stroll through the park, that would be free money, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 If he sells it for 15 bucks, percentage wise that is a huge profit! I personally don't mess with the small sets but some do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
