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...
holleman67 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Assuming you bought it at $240 (7 kits) plus tax (7%) minus $320 = $63.20 - fees & shipping.... What's wrong with make $60 on a $250 investment in less than a month? If that's not worth it, I'll take it for you.

Thanks Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app It's not $60 on a $250 investment. 63.20 - $32(10% ebay fee) - 3.9% + $0.30 USD(paypal fee) = less than $30 profits...... But if he didn't buy it at MSRP or got discounts or cashback/rewards, then that's a different story.

ravenb99 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Why would you be in this thread if you're not counting how much profits are being made? It's just meant to gauge what sets are selling for in the current market. Has nothing to do with financials. Just gives a guide for others to see what things are going for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo2112 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Assuming you bought it at $240 (7 kits) plus tax (7%) minus $320 = $63.20 - fees & shipping.... My purchase price was $85+$39+$21+4x$10.50 = $187. At my sale price of $320, after fees, I clear a bit above $85 on each sale. FYI, purchase has been at TRU with 10% off Thursday + $5 off $25 prior to the TRU price increase. I have 3 more complete sets available to sell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he didn't buy it at MSRP or got discounts or cashback/rewards, then that's a different story. Very good call. I did not pay MSRP. As I show, above, I'm making about $87 on each sale after fees. And before you ask about my purchase prices, note that 8% TRU rewards covers my tax exactly. So, I don't figure either tax or rewards when I do my accounting, and it works out spot on. $85 for about 30 min worth of work on my end is a great deal, I'll sell as many sets as I can at this price point.

I thought you opened a TRU CC and got 15% off and used discounted GC and threw in a YMMV Manager override 10% off for damaged boxes. Nice job on the sales and a nice bundle!

Good math. No gift card magic, but I do make out a bit on TRU rewards (6.5% tax vs. 8% gift cards). My $10.50 was a bit of an estimate. I do clear over $85/sale, though. That's in the bank. Just about my threshold for a QFLL. And yes, I've been a pest with the $5 off $25 coupon, breaking down multiple purchases to the lowest acceptable value. I think I've cashed at least 25 coupons in the last 3 weeks. My favorite sets for this promotion have been 2x Speed Champion cars and Birds 21301. Been hoarding those at 10% + $5. Puts that set at about $35. I've bought everyone I can find at TRU. I've said this before, but I see Birds as a $100+ set 6 months from EOL, provided it goes on the same schedule as other CUUSOO/Ideas sets. Massive AFOL appeal, extending beyond Lego Enthusiasts. (full disclosure: my wife is an ornithologist, and it got her and many of her friends interested in Lego sets where they previously didn't give them much attention) Edited March 20, 2015 by diablo2112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
