Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Mars Rover, $100 after fee/shipping. More than 2x purchase price is good enough for me. Offsets some costs from purchases recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Can everyone start also including what their item sold for. I speak for many when I say that I really don't care what you sold as much as how much it sold for. Thanks! I'm actually glad you asked. I've thought about it, but wasn't sure if it was bad form. If we have as much power as we think we've got, then we should be keeping each other informed. It does pay to do whether things are moving up or down. I also don't believe in undercutting each other. If we can keep ourselves from doing that, it drives prices up, not down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 you might want to tread carefully with that last part, we don't want to break any federal laws ( even though I get what you are saying) Yeah, there's a big difference between saying "let's all set the price minimum at $x" and you making an informed decision on your own to sell something at a similar price as what I've sold it at. It's just another source of information, like reviewing eBay sold listings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Can everyone start also including what their item sold for. I speak for many when I say that I really don't care what you sold as much as how much it sold for. Thanks! i use to always include sold prices and now only include them for selected sets. like many i assume, i didn't want to come off boasting. however i agree with you. posting sold sets without prices are pretty worthless. feel free to modify my previous post to include "$250 plus postage" now since the buyer has paid.

jeff_14 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I try to always give the price as well as something interesting about the sale. Who wants to read a random list of numbers? I just sold 4 LOTR sets (Helms Deep, Orc Forge, Shelob, and Gandalf Arrives) together for $290 Canadian on Craigslist. I bought most of these for 50% of MSRP so I figure I made 85% in under a year. You can still find some of these sets if you're lucky at a TRU, but they're generally gone and I was curious to test the market since I have between 3-9 of each of these sets still. Looking good for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spener90 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 As I stated, I had one left in which I wanted to preserve my listing which was a bin 30 day listing so I jacked the price up thinking no one would buy it. I figured something was peculiar about the transaction and was going to contact the buyer when I got home. They ended up putting a fraud claim in before I could do anything. Preserving your listing makes more sense. I just couldn't imagine anyone legitimately buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weakside Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 yeah, wonderful world of Amazon... has its pros and cons like any market place. I actually had to cancel a SSD order/purchase for $800 CAN plus shipping once because I forgot to update my inventory after a BP trade! I was shocked since I only held the SSD for 1-2weeks...guess I should of held it a bit longer lol. win some lose some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete. $210 All but 2 of my Exo Suits for $56 each. Awesome about the Black Pearl. I bought a bulk set with the BP in it, for around $200. I need the sails, so I may lose a little on the BP overall. But, it's part of a 25 lbs lot, so I've got lots more to pull from it, that will bring me into the black. Even if Iose a couple bucks, it'll be worth it just to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I've got a couple of those fermenting, may bust one out at Christmas to see what it does. I sold a Mini MINI Copper for $18, $13 after fees/shipping. Also sold a Research Institute, listed it right after I bought some at TRU, which later got canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I sold 9 slightly damaged RI's at $54.95 each on ebay in less than 12 hours I think overnight. I do not think the price point is $75 right now but at $55 and damaged wow do they move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
