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...

Also, I'm pretty much the only person regularly selling brand new Lego on the local sites in my area, so the only person I'm undercutting is myself! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use it as a way to move some slow sellers at a decent price for the buyer, while still making a little profit. I'd probably put a few high dollar items in there as well to attract some of the high end collectors in the area. My sale would be strictly LEGO only, so not really a yard sale per se. I'd advertise it as such as well. Advertising on all of the Craig's boards in the surrounding areas, as well as on local Facebook groups a week or two in advance should get the word out and hopefully generate some traffic. I'd also have it the same weekend that my neighborhood has its annual neighborhood sale as well to take advantage of that foot traffic. I think it would be kind of fun. If you don't have a lot of slow selling sets, you could also probably get together with a couple of other BrickPickers in the area and do a joint garage sale. That way it could be worthwhile to actually do the garage sale, make it big enough for people to want to come to the sale and advertise that it is a "multiple home Lego garage sale". Just label the sets with different colored price stickers (so each person knows who gets their money), and spend the Saturday hanging with some like minded Lego fans. We did this in our neighborhood, but with the kids baby clothes. We did not have enough clothes to make the garage sale big enough for people to come, so we partnered with two or three other families. We put up the garage sale on Fri/Saturday, all the kids had a play date and had some family/friend together time while clearing some space and making a few bucks. Back on topic: I haven't sold anything in a while Edited May 23, 2017 by Kevink24 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider the downside of people knowing your home address and that you have high dollar lego sets contained within. Even if you're a gun owner / have a great security system / etc, I just don't like that info being out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bay isn't "the hood" by any means, but I guess the possibility is out there. I don't actually keep much in my house. Most of my inventory is in storage a few miles away, but anyone who decides to break in wouldn't know that until after it's too late.

How do you guys get around your home address not being on your postage as a return address? Do you rent a PO box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
