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...

I'll either build it and sell or sell down the line. Nice! This on ebay? My goal was to long-term hold until they hit 1k but they jumped so high so fast maybe I'll move one or two now so I can rub the hundred-dollar bills in my wife's face screaming 'I TOLD YOU SO!!!!' You just can't put a price on that kind of fun. Soooo, on topic. Haven't sold much in awhile but did sell off another 20215 MBA and a Lion Chi Temple both around $145 on the bay.

Alpinemaps Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think that you will maximize your revenue by trading it plus cash for a used one or finding a used on on sale Ex Astris, Scientia. I like this idea. Really like this idea! Nice! This on ebay? My goal was to long-term hold until they hit 1k but they jumped so high so fast maybe I'll move one or two now so I can rub the hundred-dollar bills in my wife's face screaming 'I TOLD YOU SO!!!!' You just can't put a price on that kind of fun. That's why I sold the first one. It was a politically correct move in the household. Not that the wife needed proof - the proof was in the Mixels. But I had promised her when I bought number two and three that I would sell one of them within 45 days. Oh it was on eBay. I was shocked, since prices seemed depressed over the last couple of weeks but I'm guessing my rep and my Lego sales history (and free shipping) helped.

Kenxxx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This past weekend, I sold 3 Phantoms 75048 on Amazon at about $30 shipped. I bought them at Kmart who's had them at $19.50 on-and-off over the past several weeks. With a few SYW surprise points, and a discount gift card, I found I could get my cost to $16 each (or less). Light weight packaging made them 13 oz to ship out first class (fingers crossed, hope they don't come back smashed). In the end, I net about $5 each. I'm sure bigger sellers (with greater scale) could do even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No More Monkeys Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) nice AMZN ? hope shipping won't be $20+ for that Yep, Amazon. CO to KY should not be too bad. Hate shipping to MA or FL. And had to ship MF 7965 to AK lately - now that was a b*ch... At least my buy-in was low enough and current prices were high enough.

sroster Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Creative Tower 10664 for $109.99+$7.49 shipping credit I'm super stoked you sold this because today when someone tried to lowball me on my creative tower on craigs list I told him I'd only knock off 5 bucks and referred him to amazon where the price was $119.99! Heh heh. The circle of life, or something. Oh, so creative tower on craigs list. $75. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
