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...

jaylay Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Well just sold my last 40138. Awesome seller for me this season. Last few boxes I had sold for $50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Last 10188 Death Star for $350 locally on CL. Buy-in was $320. Hated to sell so cheap, but just wanted to clear room. With no costs, I suppose it equates to a $420 eBay sale with free shipping. Much less risk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoray01 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 10697 - 1500 piece classic tower for $50. CL sale on a buy in of $31,80 so it is still a profit This just did not flip like the 1600 piece towers from 2014 flipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold 25 last Christmas season between Ebay and CL. I have 24 sitting right now, and didn't sell any this season. It has turned into a hold and wait on this one, sadly.

dustyshelf Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Skyra's Mysterious Castle is moving around $90. Wish I would have arm-swept these when they were being clearance-ed for $40 earlier this year. Oh well, sold my two this week.

With all the exposure the DS got. If the 'new' one was not released. 10188 would be solid gold. Shame Shame Shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post terrymc4677 Posted December 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2016 Decent sale off Craigslist today. I don't normally expect big sales on Craig's, but every once in awhile you get a person who actually knows and appreciates the value of Lego. All new and sealed... 10221 SSD $850 10240 Red 5 $265 75054 AT AT $265 75020 Barge $125 75052 Cantina $80 75049 Speeder $50 Total $1635 Just over $800 profit. No fees, no returns, no shipping, no hassle. This is why even though I don't expect much from Craig's, I always keep my listings up to date and refreshed. The only two sets I had listed were the AT AT and the Red 5. Everything else he bought because he asked what else I might have. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Sold my last 71342 Dimensions Green Arrow Polybag today. Another nice gift from Gamestop (after Iron Patriot and Silver Centurion). If only my free Kylo Ren's polybags were worth something decent ... still sitting on those In the end I worked through 14 Green Arrows: sold one pre-BF on EBay for $30, 9 as a bundle with 71340 Supergirl on EBay for $60-$70 each (making G.A. between $25-$30 as part of that mix), and 4 Amazon FBM for ~$40. All prices include shipping. So GameStop gave me ~$300. Not bad for stopping by a few times while grocery shopping. Edited December 31, 2016 by Phil B Missed one in my count :) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I bought Fun packs for ~50 of my 77 *** polys to the tune of ~$500. Still working out to be a very successful venture if you crunch the numbers. Gamestop is my friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to buy 1 Fun pack to get my pre-BF G.A. - already broke even (after shipping and fees) on that purchase after selling the minifig (Bane) and the tags - still have the parts for the BL store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfcommando14 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm pairing some of the fun packs in bundles with the Supergirl-less PS4 Starters. 1 sold, 10 Starters to go.And I bought a few of the Gremlin packs with the same plan to part-out. I just haven't gotten around to listing yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 of these today, but I hear a rumor that I might be able to pick up 15 more for $48. Elves have been a slow seller for me but I've only stuck my toe in the water. Thanks!

I was only sitting on four of them. I moved two via ebay and two locally. Prices may settle now that Xmas is over. Some other Elves moved surprisingly well this last week, all of which I picked up during Walmart's summer clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
