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...
canonikon Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 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. Nice, so I guess there's no more on sale in TRU eh?

diablo2112 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Nice, so I guess there's no more on sale in TRU eh? I think the $5 coupon is still good, and 10% Thursdays are still around. However, TRU raised the prices on all the Speed Champions, so yes, the good deals are not what they were a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylay Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Time to reinvest in 39 Easter egg sets apparently I would've kept the QAR rather than getting PEEs. IMO the PEEs will take a very long time to clear $20 if it even gets that close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sflv Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Sold 2x Millennium Falcon for $235 shipped each. Maybe that 10% eBay bucks promo was involved. Can't hurt to list your large items during these promos. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justapilgrim Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Sold 4 family houses for $90+ shipped. Buy in was around $40 (BF and FM), I sold some at xmas for $110 but I wanted to free up some capital and I'm ok making $30 or so each. Posting this too because I know some here recently bought 20-30 of these and they do move at $90 (I do economy shipping on these it's usually about $10) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battrax Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) 10695 for US$35 (Craigslist) 4 x Speed Champions (the individual cars) US$75 bundled (Craigslist). Had got them at around 14.26 a piece including sales tax. Felt too early to stockpile these so a bit of pocket money for minimal effort is ok by me!

That always bums me out when you have a bunch of watchers on one of your auctions and at the end of the auction the price barely moves. I always expect the price to jump and watch a bidding war. When that does end up happening, I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been selling my trees and bushes in lots of 4 or 5 for $11 shipped and they sold like hot cakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weakside Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Sold my last 41999 crawler (of 12)...kinda glad to just be done with this set. Didn't keep or build one. Good luck to those holding for longer term. $350 CAN cash local deal. Been able to sell on Amazon.ca for a lot more but after fees, shipping, extra work etc. works out to almost the same amount of profit. Big fluctuation/variance of cash selling prices on this set from $320-$500 for me...I'm sure many have similar experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was glad to get rid of it too. I was greedy and thought it was going to go higher after the initial pop that topped out at about $500.
