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
canonikon Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 NEVER ship with parcel no matter what. Priority is safer. Heard this from a USPS employee. 1 Quote
dcdfan Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Good news and Bad news for me. Good - Sold my last 21021 Marina Bay Sands on Amazon last week for $700. (Paid $230). Bad - I shipped with prioirty mail with signature confirmation, but the problem is... this package is lost... And guess what, I didn't buy insurance...I've had luck with this form. Every time I've filled it out, the item has started tracking within 24 hours...Good luck!https://prd2faq.usps.com/faq/iq/usps/request.do?forward=emailUs be sure to put an email & phone. They never call or email. Edited March 18, 2015 by dcdfan Quote

exciter1 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Glad that works for you. I'll be able to undercut you on shipping costs, then! I do try to ship Priority 98% of the time. It only costs a $1 or $2 more in most cases,, almost certainly guarantees 2 or 3-day delivery and it's sometimes cheaper. Quote

I dive to Parcel Select once the cost difference hits about $3. Basically, ALWAYS priority for Zones 1-5 (thanks to the September 2014 rate revisions), sometimes priority for Zones 6-8 (lighter via Priority, heavier via Parcel Select). Quote
nolanfan34 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Favorite sale of the past week was a 4867 Hogwarts for $199.95 on Amazon. Was my last one, bought for $35 a couple of years ago. Just seems like it's impossible to go much higher, but I have been wrong on Harry Potter already. I am hoping/banking on the theme coming back in some form with the new book/movie down the road. Could go the Star Wars route and release some classic sets again. 2 Quote
beartrapper Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Detectives office 199 Congrats on the sale but I can't wrap my head around why that makes any sense as a buyer. Even with the 10% back in ebay bucks, they'd be paying less to buy from LEGO Shop at Home and get 10% back in VIP. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Congrats on the sale but I can't wrap my head around why that makes any sense as a buyer. Even with the 10% back in ebay bucks, they'd be paying less to buy from S@H and get 10% back in VIP. Either the buyer is international or has to pay tax when buying from S@H Quote
oneknightr Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Either the buyer is international or has to pay tax when buying from LEGO Shop at Home Or the buyer's clueless. Plenty of them out there. Just as much as there are idiot drivers on the road. Quote
diablo2112 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Sold another complete set (7 total kits) of Speed Champions on eBay for $320. The few sets I've sold have all gone via eBay Global Shipping to International buyers. FYI. And I've put several kits from my Craigslist lot up on eBay, including the 4x4 Crawler, 42006 Excavator, Mindstorms NXT, and 4504 Millenium Falcon. Quote

diablo2112 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Which 7 kits? All 7 speed champion kits. The 4 cars, McLaren Pit Stop, Porsche finish line, and Ferrari transport. Sorry, I'm mobile and don't have kit numbers memorized. Quote
dcdfan Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Which 7 kits? the only 7 kits that exist... 1 Quote
canonikon Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Assuming you bought it at $240 (7 kits) plus tax (7%) minus $320 = $63.20 - fees & shipping.... Quote
lazuli16 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Can we nominate members for Awards? If anyone was ever deserving of The Questionnaire badge, it would be canonikon. 8 Quote
exciter1 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Can we nominate members for Awards? If anyone was ever deserving of The Questionnaire badge, it would be canonikon. Well, uh, that's not quite what it's intended for, but I see where you're going. 3 Quote
lazuli16 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Well, uh, that's not quite what it's intended for, but I see where you're going. It was worth a shot. To be clear, I'm not trying to be negative towards another member, I was just making a observation. Quote
