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...

I had it packed and labeled already. They decided to ask if I had any other sets that weren't listed. Turns out I did, so we set up a little no-fees private sale on the side. 6093 Flying Ninja Fortress (Used, 100%) ~$141 shipped [most of the shipping cost was already covered in the previous purchase] ($63 Buy-In from my good man @Zender) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My average sold price is about $67. I've sold my last 4 at $70. I start at $60 and worked my way up. I posted what I thought was my last one for $80, and was surprised to have sold it. But I got more and I sold 2 yesterday at $70. Hmmm... $58. Want to do a drop shipment for me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 20x 31047 CREATOR Planes for £200 cash - £110 profit. 10x 10197 Fire Brigades for £2000 cash - £1100 profit. 5x 10228 Haunted Houses for £1250 cash - £575 profit. This guy has also made me an offer for EVERYTHING else that I have left which is very tempting even though my margin will be a lot lower. I really want to bail and this could be the perfect opportunity. I need to think carefully as it'll only be about £5K above break even for 2000+ sets.

I had under-estimated how much time / effort / life i've been missing out on doing this. Value your time in the transaction, and what you could spend it doing rather than dealing with all this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Just unloaded a 31052 Vacation Getaway on eBay for $70. Buy-In was about $42. Shipping was pretty cheap so after all the fees and costs, an extra $12 in profit. Good enough to pay off even more debt! Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've shaken on the deal and everything is going apart from my Architecture and IDEAS "gems" as there's a strong chance of these hitting 4x buy-in by next year. BPers have helped me out with some of the larger and UCS sets - thank you, guys! To be honest, there's no reason why I can't invest in just one set if it's that good. If only I had the balls to order 99x 10221 SSD when the limits were that high! But, as I said, I need some time out and I'll still be lurking around here.

I did think of eBay and could've made more money but, the extra work would've finished me off and taken months. I'm a believer in "never say never" and I'll still be keeping an eye on the LEGO market occasionally but, for now, only to sell what I still have.

Don't get greedy guys as £3,500 can turn into £500 very quickly if the new release is better and Ed loves the box ;-) Of course I'm speculating but, LEGO really have to release a new UCS MF, right? I sold my 10179 and would like a new one at RRP to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Finally sold my last Disney Castle. $450 shipped, with a cpt hook and maleficent minifigs on eBay. I held out as long as I could, but these don't seem to be short on hand. I'll keep my $30 profit and fill that empty space on my shelf with Iron Golems. Can't go wrong there.
