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...

Crazy to think how much these have gone up. What's even crazier is the buyer is from Brazil and how much he had to pay via the eBay Global Shipping Program. Mind-blowing!! Yowza, I have a couple sets of those I need to sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have one set left after this one and a couple of singles. I'm glad I didn't list them a year or so ago when they were going for about $200 for the set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but there is the chance that they start to disappear into obscurity and few people are interested. I sold all of my sets a while ago and I'm happy with the $200+ I was getting per set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved mine all in 2019 at $250 for lots of 4 and individuals from between $60.99 and $105.99, and rolled it into new sets. If I haven't tripled that money by now I did something wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The last of my Captain Phasma BHZ for $49. Purchased almost 5 years ago when my TRU closed 70% clearance for $3 prior to any other discounts. It seems like 10 years and I still really miss that store. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Well it finally started. Sold my first Lego set. 21102 Minecraft the Forest. Obviously a complete dud in terms of return but wanted to get rid of it. Sold it on Ebay for 46.99 after only 2 days listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been easily $200 now had it stayed a 1 and done Cuuso set. I sold all mine a long time a go. Perhaps try selling on Amazon as they have better price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases you have just launched sellers getting buy box. Prior years it used to take a while before you get any buy box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksBrotha Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Set of 4 TLM2 brickheadz for $350+shipping and pp fees, on FB marketplace. That leaves 2 more sets of 4 and couple singles left. Lot of lowballing going on to get here, but happy I held out. I have a sub 100 (96 I think) Benny that I may hang on to just to see where the price goes. 📈🚀🌒 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone experience issues or scams where a buyer would say they weren't happy with what they received or try to say they got bogus bricks for sealed sets? I feel like a buyer could just file a PayPal refund and we would be SOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a buyer could just file a PayPal refund and we would be SOL. But us being SOL would happen through most online marketplaces, no matter what. Personally, I haven't had an issue selling on FB marketplace with shipping after dozens of sales. Although, I did have someone leave negative feedback two years ago when shipping got really slow during the holiday season and I couldn't reach out to the person because it doesn't tell me who wrote it, so now that's stuck on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many requests, I was loosing potential sales. These brickheadz are certainly the highest value I have attempted, so I cant offer alot of advice. I mostly just sell used sets pulled from bulks I acquire. But I have on accasion move NISB sets, especially during the holidays. Certainly not a great platform for large scale operations. The only fail safe I use is Paypal gifts and services for the protection, but its not free like family and friends. Its somewhere around 5-6% I believe but don't quote me on that. I usually just have the buyer cover the fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneknightr Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Sold my last sealed 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle for $800 and a sealed 10219 Maersk Train for $400 locally. I could've net about $160 more if I had sold via eBay, but the convenience of the sale and the zero worry concern of potential scamming and/or transit damage is worth netting less...at least for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I took a big hit on the Maersk train, but I had it listed for $480 for about a month with only two nibbles. I know I won't get top dollar because of my choice to sell locally only, but I'm ok with that. Just ask @$20 on joe vs dan who scored a nice deal on my other 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle that had open seals but sealed baggies. Right Dan? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
