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"

About everything. Not ready for December I think. I am up to about 11 shipments a night which is killing me. I haven't had time to even calculate profit so that I could be happy about it (although I know Im making it).

 

Today:

 

Jedi Cruiser

Passenger Train

2 Technic Racecars

a lot of minifigures

Used Destinys Bounty for $100 (I paid 50 on wednesday)

Clone Trooper Lieutenant

 

And various other small items (42 listings in all)

 

I will be up until at least 3-4AM packing stuff. AND, I get to go to work at 8AM! YAY!

Sounds just like me. Cramming for three tests till about 3 AM and then I have to be in school by 8 AM. That is a lot of stuff sold. Keep up the good work.

I was updating the Daily Deals thread about the TRU deals today and saw a few sales trickle in this morning.

 

Space Shuttle Expedition - $200 (with  non-perfect box)

Ninjago: Fangpyre Truck Ambush - $90

Dino: Tower Takedown - $35

A couple poly bags

 

Maybe some more will sell tonight.

 

The Republic Gunship 7676 I bought for $60 shipped w/ box & instructions and some sealed bags and unused sticker sheet is missing Obi-Wan and Plo Koon.  I'm about 2/3 the way through building it right now.  The listing said the kid started it and got bored.  He didn't make it far, because one of the bags he didn't open started on like page 30.  No missing pieces yet.  I did find a Nerf dart, some scope from a toy gun, parts from a CARS Grand Prix set, and a quarter mixed in the open bags.  I have a new Obi-Wan and Plo Koon on the way.

 

The Queen Anne's Revenge I got complete with box for $40 should be on the way, to my surprise.

At least you know you up $.25 so far.

Ouch, that's a lot of shipments for one day. I would definitely recommend figuring your profits out so you at least know the work is worth that time.

 

I'm tired of shipping and I've only had around 90 sales for the month. The burnout from holiday selling after the excitement from the first 4-6 weeks isn't touched on very much. The buying is always fun (I love finding good deals), the storing/hoarding is borderline fun as you watch your stash grow, but the trips to the storage unit/picture taking/posting listing after listing/printing labels/wrapping/boxing/shipping/dealing with any questions or problems post-shipping portion can get tedious.

 

All that being said, it will have been my 4-6 mos/yr part time job for about 5 years by the time I get out of the game in a few years, and I'll take doing this over lots of other part time jobs out there!

Yeah - I use set prices so I more mean I know I am making a pretty good profit and how much for each thing - just not really adding it all together yet.

 

I don't sell something unless i am netting 10% after everything so I think it was a good weekend. Couple of those had larger markups as well.

Nice job on the Wargs - those things just haven't sold for me.  Parting out sales are slow too, but at least they move...

[roxio]

7749 locally cash in hand sale - wish they were all so easy 

[Guest TabbyBoy]

4526 Batman, bought last Friday for

[Huskers1236]

Sold a lot of Atlantis sets ($170) and a Ninjago Ice Dragon ($30) last night.  Almost have all of the used sets cleared out.

[joonhee]

Sold one of my two Lego Imperial Shuttle 10212 for $400 + $8 shipping on.  After fees of about $80, I purchased I think for $180 so profit of about $130sh, not the best but needed money for other things right now

Sold another Catwomen Cycle Chase locally. That makes 2 this week. No fees, and the buyer came to pick them up. Easy 75% ROI for each. Took 2min to post the add with a Lego stock image. 

[seapotato]

if you dont mind me asking, how much did they sell for?

Don`t mind at all! $20 each on Kijiji. Oddly enough, after I listed I got an email from buyer #1 about 20min later (impeccable timing haha). 2nd buyer messaged couple days later. Honestly, I could have listed them on ebay for higher but figured I`d take a little less then $9 each to do nothing instead. Worked out very well. Do you have some as well? 

[seapotato]

yes I have four tucked away, also from superstore! was thinking of selling them too to make room!

Right on! It`s a great little set. Still surprised of the popularity though, but maybe I shouldn`t be because of that fact. Kijiji is great for that. Better then craigslist up here for sure. No fees and minimal hassle (for the most part). 

[seapotato]

oh! I find I get more responses when I post on craigslist than kijiji!

Really?!?! You`re in BC though right? 

[seapotato]

yes, BC. I think it is easier and faster to list on craigslist too. but I might try posting some of my lego on kijiji tonight!
