Alucard1982 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Anyway, the box question was a good one. Anyone have any answers?For the smaller sets try eBay's packaging (2 different sizes). I always fall back on the bubble wrap/brown paper routine - hasn't failed me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I worry about paper and bubble wrap. I received a set like that a while ago and i was unimpressed. Whole corner was mashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep i am Living as a digital nomad in Taiwan at the moment, with $10k lego stored at my parents place. plan was to hold off for awhile before selling them, but a small cash influx would be great right now so im gonna sell 2 or 3. Yea they were $379ish + the 5% off discount cards. I can sell them all now for a profit of atleast $1000, but i just want to sell one or two. Has anyone ever shipped a large box like the sandcrawler with just bubble wrap around it? I could also just ask the customer before hand if they care about the box during transit, as i'd imagine only a smaller percentage of lego enthusiasts would keep the box, etc. Interested in buying two of the SC for $470 George? If i recall your located in WA as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I wouldnt ship this in bubble wrap. Oz post will mash it good. Could try the no box sealed bag route,but you will lose a little coin. Check ebay first tho man. Sales if any, are slow at moment.And no, im not buying your sc's.

Don't think I've EVER seen a polybag at the shops, but I don't actually go there very often. Too slack . A bonus from buying from LEGO is re-using their boxes, that's for sure.

Even as the lowest price on ebay, I can't sell a UN HQ. EBay sold listings on those are extremely slow going.

Generally I don't list anything until I have packaging sorted. I use wine boxes out the front of BWS and cut down to size. Can get larger boxed from Officeworks dumpsters. 2 hours ago, Furious_george said: Seems everything is slow going at the moment. Can't give the stuff away.
