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"

​Yes, $1 profit per item * 400 items  baby !!!!

​And that still would have bought me an SSD at retail.

​Congratulations!  20 items is better than zero items.

i think mscheaf might be waxing Tony Montana-esqe - eating drinking ****ing ****ing.  selling lego.  Then what?  You're 50. You got a bag for a belly.

[mscheaf]

I mean I don't understand buyers or their patterns or when they like to buy. I just gave up trying to understand buyers

​Slowest time for eBay sellers?

I have definitely noticed a slow down on the vintage set line. My old space BINs are sticking. I have them set at average or slightly below but no bites. It's been like that since April time.  I seem to remember that things picked around July last year. 

Having said aid that I listed a 7817 boxed for £45 and it sold in 12 hours. 

Auctions are mostly still selling, but at lower prices than BINs.

Another 2 Stormtrooper Sergeants at approx. €22 each shipped. Got them for free with €15 battle packs.

​I think yer right, the old stuff is definitely falling off the radar - it just can't compete with the flashiness of the newer licensed stuff, that 30 year cycle (folks wanting to buy back their childhood after 30 years once they have become established & have disposable incomes)   We just recently moved another 400 lbs of bulk 70-90's miscellaneous & the only way to move it was to break it up into 30 or so 12-15lb boxes (listed as 10lb+) for $45.oo ea  - a couple years ago you could 8-10 bucks a lb for that stuff.

It sure was.  I prefer to sell on Craigslist although a lot of people hit me up and then never get back to me.  People are super flaky on there.  If I start having trouble selling sets I'll probably put them up on eBay. I want to avoid fees and shipping costs as much as I can.

​$100 before fees is pretty darn good!  Congrats on the sale.  I only have a few of these so I'll be waiting until Oct-Dec to consider selling any.

Thank you, sir.  I am going to wait until October as well for the other couple of sets I have but for $100 I couldn't pass up the sale.

I let my personal feelings about how I thought the Delorean build looked awful get in the way of investing in that set. I guess nostalgia wins over how a sets look in this case. Dang.

It's hard sometimes not to let your personal feelings get it in the way of a set, but I try not to let it.  I try to think of the overall appeal to buyers, not if I really like it or not.  I bought a ToO and I don't like it at all.  I think it's a good investment though.
