whoisbiggles Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 3rd to 19th of March not a solitary sale on eBay. 20th to 26th pretty good week. 27th onwards - eBay sales have gone mental, all those kids in lockdown must be driving their parents insane. Ninjago, Chima, Friends, Elves, Creator 3 in 1, polybags all selling. Gunna keep riding this wave until the inevitable crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be sellling the big old sets, even Star Wars fast. I've actually sold about all my big sets and really only have sets that just went OOS to go. Mind you, I'm one those people that lost my job/income so the extra sales will be very useful, just this time I wont be re-investing profits until I get my job back. Better than shares atm.

Sorry to hear about your job. Wife and I are hanging on, eldest has signed up at Centrelink and the second child is still able to work at the Golden Arch's. Expecting one or both to return to the family home. I'm not reinvesting ATM going to wait and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sneeze or talk, and germs go on the food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious_george Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Stuff I’ve been watching has definitely slowed down in the last few days. Lower virus counts easing the panic buying maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 No selling slowdown here - keeping Auspost busy. New / Used doesn't matter all going, even sold the last of my Galaxy Squad sets. The Big W dimension clearance sets - nearly all gone Venice and Berlin architecture skyline sets - last ones sold today for $220 & $260 each. All pre 2016 City and Creator sets gone Not Lego - but Black Series Star Wars 6" figures picked up for the Reject Shop selling consistently. Picked up some discounted Overwatch (D.Va & Reinhardt and Wrecking Ball) sets and a Tantive from Target during their current sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold lots of big sets to make space/free some cash and my ebay was going off all hours. I was selling most for a double profit but happy to get out of star wars at 50%. Elves has been spectacular (at least x3 purchase across the board). The Speed Champions have always done well for me at the 3 year mark but selling the lot is awesome for you. As mentioned before I lost my job, so the money is very appreciated, better return than stock market, thats for sure. Hopefully working again inside 2 months, before big sales at end of year to replenish supplies. For the first time in 4 years my wife "gets" lego investing/selling and some building. She is stunned when I show her purchase vs sold prices at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Watch out for whiney buyers who won’t pay an extra $5 or $10 dollars to get express post , but who are quick to complain about delivery times. Not my fault a virus has suddenly rendered Australia Post incapable of delivering anything. I purchased the Upside Down 4 weeks ago from DJs. Still haven’t received it.🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will hold onto them as they are very small and I'd prefer to clear out the larger sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth guy hasnt received his large set since I mailed it on the 14th. Tracking is still only at the original scan at my LPO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
