Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post 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

jaylay Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Sold the last 3 of my Kingdoms Chess sets for $130 each. The end of an era. It is going to be weird not to have any chess set in my inventory. Was this eBay or amazon? Quote

Huskers1236 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 My son said he's done with his Harry Potter sets, so far sold 4842 $300 4867 $115 4840 $149 10217 $250 He gets some money from 4842 since he got it from Santa, so "technically" it's his, but I'll be taking some substantial seller fees. Still need to sell the Express, Dobby, and Quidditch. He said he wants to keep his Hagrid Hut for now. 4 Quote

trekgate502 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I sold a Lego Batman 50003 board game for $74.95 I am down to about 10 or so of these and the Helm's Deep game. Every one I sell is a write off. I have raised prices and will sit on the rest for a while now... Quote

Every one I sell is a write off. I have raised prices and will sit on the rest for a while now... Why would they be a write off? Didn't that Batman game retail for like 30 bucks? Sounds like a double your money to me! Quote
clxmouth Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Sold another complete 5 set castle bundle for $279. My cost was around $100. Recovering some much needed space. No more closets to take over. Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Why would they be a write off? Didn't that Batman game retail for like 30 bucks? Sounds like a double your money to me! They were never available in the US and I bought lots from overseas before they were available cheaply... I bought them when only available in Australia and very rare at about $150 each. Many I sold at $300 or more but then the cargo loads showed up at european retailers and the game was over. So each one I sell my cost basis is $150 each. I have no doubt by the time I sell them all I will still end up break even but the profit side of it is up. It was my one bad decision to date... and a good lesson on choosing wisely... Quote

Every one I sell is a write off. I have raised prices and will sit on the rest for a while now... A write-off is a deduction from taxable income. So every game you sell is at loss so you are reducing your taxable income. We are in retail so calling it ( & thinking of it as) a loss is prob better terminology since It's an investment with a negative outcome. Quote

Popular Post TheBrickClique Posted January 20, 2015 Popular Post Posted January 20, 2015 Sold a HH for $350 + shipping on ebay the other day. Put up another one at my next price step of $400 + shipping thinking it would take a few months, but someone took me up on it today. So we can now say HH has cracked $400 on ebay. Of course the buyer has zero feedback but they paid right away. And I'll do signature confirmation and insure the package to reduce the likelihood of any funny business. 11 Quote
hendrikdejager Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 hmm.. lot of lego rental companies popping up .. These rental companies... i can't see how this business model works. The shippingcosts alone... Quote
