What Lego set did you sell today and for how much?

[brickvoyeur]

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"

Hustled a coworker to buy a Benny minifig for $10. But I threw in a free city fireman poly since she has bought minifigs from me before

In the last couple of days:

 

- Sold Series 1 Mixels for $110 (Bricklink).  Net $45 after fees, acquisition costs, shipping, etc.

- Sold my last set of Red Series 1 Mixels yesterday, for $45.  Bummed to see them come to an end.

 

My stock in Series 1 Mixels is dwindling.  Still have a few sets left, along with some of the individual Mixels.  It's been a great run.

All I have left are a few Black sets.

I sold my first series 1 set in a long time for 119.95 on ebay.  I still have a pretty deep stash because I have been bullish on not lowering prices.  Hopefully with the release of series 4 it pays off.

Raven,

If you had signed the damaged SSD box you probably could have sold it for $750.

Sold a Ninjago Fang-Suei clock. (Finally!)

I was jumping around the house and my wife was looking at me funny. (I think some of you can relate to that joy.)

That was me after finally ditching the worriz combat lair last week. Bought that thing on clearance last summer and figured it was going to end up a birthday present at some point.

The sets I have on eBay are priced higher than $119.95.  I refuse to budge, because I've sold at higher numbers.  I think the market got saturated for awhile.  I'm well in the black, so I don't mind holding out.

 

I've been successful selling the odd set here and there on BL.  It's priced lower, but with the lower fees, I've been clearing more selling there than on eBay.  I also charge shipping on BL, but I don't charge shipping on eBay.

20217 out of the 3 higher dollar sets

 

20216 sells great at 90, can still find those at B&****** sometimes

Thanks.  I got a couple of 20216s at TRU for 50% last year.  That's a good return.

I went to pull some 9493's to ship and I noticed one was heavier.

 

So I pulled a few and weight at 2 lb each but this one was 2 lb 8 oz

Opened it up and it appears someone glued the side shut so that the original tape seals would look like they were sealed

 

They stuffed all kinds of things in it including a different lego set and other toys of no value to add weight.

 

Needless to say returning this one.  Glad I caught it.  It looked good.

Glad you caught it, that's frustrating...

We are all glad you caught it but how would it have played out if you didn't catch it? Do you just suck it up and move on counting it as one loss in a sea of hundreds? Do you trust your customer to tell the truth? Curious given your experience...

You are thinking what I was thinking through.

I mark everything sold as is, no returns and specify in good detail about the set and if the box has any minor kinks or dents etc.

I strive to always ship excellent product and give excellent customer service.

Since my investment on the X Wings is about $50 a piece I think if I would have gotten an inquiry I would have apologized over and over trusted the person and told them to keep it and I would have sent them another one at no charge.

I did pick up on this beyond weight that when you hear the Legos sliding in the box I could tell tons of loose things sliding and not smooth bags sliding.

 If this had been a $120-140 Millennium Falcon selling for $215 I would have asked them to return ship it at my cost, sent them a replacement and given them a $10 credit on top of it for their time to have to deal with returning it to me.

Then  I would have tried to approach my place of purchase if I was in the return period.

The product had some or all of Pre Vizla manual and set plus lots of other stuff inside it.

These stories are very worrisome.  I haven't weighed anything before selling and luckily haven't had any problems yet.  I guess from now on I need to start weighing before selling and then weighing it again for shipping.  Freaking Lego sets are getting weighed more than Karen Carpenter probably weighed herself.

[ISO8T0]

I usually check seals when I buy sets from stores or online. But I have never checked their weights.

But this is worrisome. There is nothing to stop a dishonest person from "claiming" that the perfectly good lego that you sent them contained another set after opening it. They could ship back to you the opened set and put in there other contents to support their claim. Although we all hope this would never happen I'm sure it could.

I'm not sure how I would handle a situation like that.

i think someone reported earlier its happened on ebay before, but because the guy selling the item took extensive pictures/videos of the item before shipping it, he won the judgement on ebay.

Yeah that's the scary reality of selling new sets, and the worst thing I've ran across was one time when I bought a mouse from bestbuy and when I got home I noticed someone put some pos mouse inside the package instead of the one I was supposed to get lol

Many on here will call me crazy, but when I found that Simpsons House at Target the first thing I did once I got home was cut the seals and verify it. I've sold plenty of "open box, sealed bag" sets for 98%-100% of the sealed box rate. I would rather take a 2% hit than ship out a box like Trek found to a buyer.
