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...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 When I sell on eBay, I rarely use an auction unless I'm really unsure of an item's market value. I prefer BIN with non-auto Best Offer so I decide if I want to sell at the offer price or not. I just ignore lowballers and let their offers auto-expire.

justapilgrim Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I don't ignore low ballers, I read their comments first and sometimes ban them 0.99 auctions can drive traffic for your other listings, I always try to have at least one running at all times Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Are you guys selling the 7965 Millennium Falcon or holding a little longer? I'm not sure if I want to move them now at $200+ or hope that the ceiling is higher as the movie approaches but before people realize there is a remake coming in the form of the Episode 7 version.

I am gladly doubling my money on them now, but I am holding half of my stash for later in the year just in case..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Last month on eBay, I sold an Open Box 7965 at $185 in a lot with a 75055 and 9493, and a NISB for $205 + shipping. I could have probably held out for longer and made a little more, but I wanted to turn some inventory and I still have one more open box 7965 to hold for closer to the holidays. I regret not getting more, but I got into this whole racket right as they became hard to find and I hadn't quite figured out what were good buys yet.

No More Monkeys Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Holding. I am thinking that given the target audience, once new MF shows up, 7965 could be a tough sell. Kids want it for their birthdays, right? Or there is evidence of collectors involved bying at this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 No problem knock wood. Two people have thanked me for saving their kids birthday. Gosh, I'm a great guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Sealed 4597 Captain America with a beat up box for $30 + shipping. It sold with in 10 minutes of listing. I knew I should of asked for more $. But, I was told to thin the herd or else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the decision to sell all my stash this past Christmas figuring that would be the high point at least until next christmas and growth would be significantly slower. I was happy to get $200+ per set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscheaf Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I sold the ones I got for $100 or under and am holding two I paid full msrp for since $200 isn't good enough at that buy in. I will probably build one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymc4677 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I have sold all of my 7965 Falcons (had five left) over the past two weeks. Each one sold for $220 plus $18 shipping. I paid between $80-$100 for each one, so I'm happy with the profits. They may continue to rise, but I don't want to take that gamble with the new version coming soon. One note...I received a lot more traffic and sold three of the five after I included the mis-spelled version of "millennium" in my title (milennium). This trick was mentioned somewhere on here last week, but I don't remember which thread. I changed my listing title after I read that and it seemed to make a difference.

jaisonline Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Interesting that the King's Castle sale price is nearing Helm's Deep sale price... I don't get it. Why would it approach Helm's Deep in value ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I don't get it. Why would it approach Helm's Deep in value ? Cause Helm's Deep does not live up to its own hype ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenb99 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Interesting that the King's Castle sale price is nearing Helm's Deep sale price...yes it is especially seeing it just disappeared recently. I had 8 of them at 80 buy in and sold all 8 the last 2 months. In that same time i sold 2 helms deep at 180. Honestly had 0 kings castle and was watching it spike some and took a gamble on it.

Fact is Helms Deep is such a poor performer, even the Chima Lion Chi Temple can be sold at 150 after Christmas and after TRU dumping tons of those at $90. My money would have been better spent buying FB than HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 OK I just sold a Galaxy Squad Galactic Titan for $90. Its in a postal zone that will probably cost me about $5-6 freight. What is this world coming to? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekgate502 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Not as good of a master as you. Got them for $50 or so I think. Still will clear about 40% profit on QFLL. 1 down 2 to go. I really wanted to keep one for myself. But its because it reminds me of the Space Police one. So in reality sell these and get a Space Police one to be most happy.

Quacs Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I don't get it. Why would it approach Helm's Deep in value ? HD has stagnated, and KC is catching up. Why? Probably with the introduction of Pirates, Lego fans are concerned they will not see another King's Castle for a few years. Great news for folks that had a $55 buy in when Amazon was blowing these out. Wish I had been able to grab another two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
