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...
Alpinemaps Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Two decorating the tree Polybags for $7 each. Paid $2.50. This is a great return on investment but exactly the type of one I plan to avoid in the future. Great little set, tho. Nearly 3x what you paid for them. Is a SSD going to get you that anytime soon? I don't understand the mentality, but okay. /edit to add: I'm sorry, that came off as rude. Everyone has their own investment strategy. For me, I'll take 3x buy in any time.

It's more about the time and effort for me. I think these kind of flips can be great for a lot of people, it's just not for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroster Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I see both sides of the coin. The secret is bulk on those kinds of things. If you have 50 of them and all it means is putting up the listing and slowly but surely selling them off over a few months they are great. If you can only manage to get 3 or 4 of them they aren't worth the hassle of creating the listing and watching all but a buck or two profit remain after fees/shipping/etc. Also these kinds of deals pad the ratings which is valuable for a lot of people trying to get to top rated status or what not. Pros and Cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sflv Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Sold a 21103 BTTF for $99.95 on eBay buy it now Look like a best match. Wow. That said I think we will see 100+ real soon. I wish I had more than just a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the best match. Had 1 left moved it to $99.95 from about $65 or somewhere in that area. It maintained best match and I thought it would sit there a while and someone bought it. But then they asked that I reverse it as they paid incorrectly, relist it and then he bought it from me again. First class buyer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Chi Temples are finally starting to sell. Sold 2 for $140. I'll have to poke around tonight to see if I need to raise my price. When the final season starts up, I might liquidate the Chima before it's forgotten and the next thing comes along. I know others here have already got out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysbricks Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I was out of the loop for awhile, I see BTTF is sold out is the general consensus that it's retired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I was out of the loop for awhile, I see BTTF is sold out is the general consensus that it's retired? I think so except for occasional Toys R Us pop ups. I had been selling them like hotcakes at $65 each. I am keeping the remaining stash for it to cross $!00 which per my earlier post it did once already by chance. Anyways I wish I would have gotten stacks more of these at $27 or whatever price it was. I think it is easily $100 by Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my Wal-Mart's still has three chi temples at 120. Been there for two years at least and they just won't mark them down.

I don't get it I've seen the price for this set all over the place. There are still a few lingering on the shelves at that price around here too. The funny thing is, I sold one yesterday to someone in my state and then of course last night was a California sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah, I know. I bought more BTTF at $35 near the end when I could have had so many for $27. Despite a sub-par build nostalgia is really driving the prices up nicely. I think I have 12-14 in my stash and don't plan to sell until it nears that 3 digit mark like you said trekgate.

I couldn't even bring myself to buy more at $35 after getting all my stock at $27 earlier. Told myself, you're good with 24. LOL.
