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
newbie77 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 These rental companies... i can't see how this business model works. The shippingcosts alone... they have a contract with USPS and FEDEX at least in US. most of the sets { except the exclusives and large sets} would be less than 2lb including the manuals and the shipping box. from what i have heard "the cost of shipping round trip" is less than $1.75 so the cheapest plan is about $25/month. so 3 sets a month . they are making over $19/subscriber.

Seems like it would require a lot of subscribers. Quote

cslego Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 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. Wow, great to see it above $400. I have one on craigslist and amazon but not for that high. I even have a sheet of lego halloween stickers that are a promo item, I will throw it in and hopefully get some more money for it. I can upload a pic if anyone is curious what the stickers look like.

cslego Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Sold a Gandalf Arrives for $25 + $5 shipping on Amazon last week, and a Mines for $110. Probably should've held the Mines and gotten more. Oh well, frees up space for more purchases! Quote
terrymc4677 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 7823 container crane depot for $100 shipped. Complete, but no box or instructions. I bought it for $24 a couple months ago as part of a bulk lot off of my local Craig's. Also just sold a 6990 space monorail and 6921 monorail accessory track bundle for $400 shipped. Both used complete with instructions but no boxes. Bought them for $100 also off of my local Craig's a couple of months ago. Both sales were eBay. 2 Quote

sroster Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 A Willis Tower I had that was opened with sealed bags $52 20215 Master Builder Academy Invention Designer $145 ebay That invention designer surprised me like crazy when I looked it up. Very few sales. Wish I had stockpiled a lot more. Got it clearance from TRU, 3 total. Part of me wants to save one for the long haul but I'll probably sell all 3 if the keep moving at that price. 4 Quote

There all doing well but they are a little on the heavy side so it kept some people away. Anyways great sale. Quote

I remember saying, "no, can't afford it today. Just don't know what it will do." *sigh* I have come a long way since those days. 1 Quote

Bold-Arrow Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Interesting... NetBricks people (lego rental service) bought Forrest Police 4440 (99+shipping credit) and tecnic helicopter 9396 (139.99+shipping credit) from me. something is up with them folks they bought 5 king castles and 8 x-wings from me. I know they have been buying in "bulk" from other Amazon sellers as well. Their feedback sucks so maybe they are trying to catch up, but they are paying top dollar on these sets Quote
legopocalypse Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 They bought 4 kings castles from me too Quote
