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...

mollyseven Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 This week I sold Harry Potter Chamber of winged key, and the Sorting hat and the Forbidden Forest sets all new in box. The retired Ambulance and last night I sold the retired Police Station. I got 43-48% profit on each of these so I am happy...can't get that at a bank....all on Kijiji so no delivery/fees/etc, love that!! I have a couple Mission to Mars and Mars Rovers I am trying to sell without luck so far, might have to ebay those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Sold City Farm Harvester for $200 and Tractor for $33. Don't think I made much on these as I bought them last year to build and never did. Needing more capital, though as the Amazon bills are going to be coming in soon.

terrymc4677 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 My Craigslist listings have been picking up with the holiday season here. Today I sold a wampa cave for $60 (paid $37), and a republic star fighter for $40 (paid $17.50). Not huge deals by any means, but NO FEES OR SHIPPING!! YAY! Pure profit after cost. I wish I would get more bites off of Craigslist than I do. For every 30 sales I make on eBay I get 1 off of Craig's. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Just finished building the 100% complete w/ box Queen Anne's Revenge (4185) I picked up for $40. This should be a "what LEGO do I want to sell?" thread. My son told me to flip it and get him an AT-TE and Republic Gunship. Of course, now after he sees it put together, he wants me to keep it. What to do? What to do? I already have a couple AT-TE and Republic Gunship packed away after Black Friday, but he doesn't need to know that.

willy431 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I am taking Emazer's advice and pre-boxing all my lego from now on. Sold 19 (mostly large) sets in last 24 hours and it sucks! Finding boxes, packing and addressing. I use all recycled materials, which is cheap and eco-friendly---but very hard finding the exact box I need in Mt. Box---down in my basement. I can't believe how fast things are selling. I am a long termer....but decided to "flip" a bunch of things that I bought cheap, and can replace easy in 6 months. We needed the space for our Christmas tree! Top tip....most of you probably know this, but I didn't and just learned today. Usps will pick up your packages as long as one is priority. I always thought they all had to be. Wish I knew that before. Scheduled pick up online...much easier than lugging all these things to the post office.

Yeah pre-boxing is awesome - definitely helps and you can stack things easier as well. I wish every month was december - things sell a lot quicker. lol Here's the solution: Keep the QAR Buy AT-TE tomorrow Buy Rep. Gunship the day AFTER tomorrow....(if we are still alive) Make sure you have your snow suit on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunship the day AFTER tomorrow....(if we are still alive)[ I was about to type the same. This is an easy one to answer. Keep a cool looking set that prob won't ever be refreshed or keep 2 newer Star Wars rehashes. "That was easy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheduled pick up online...much easier than lugging all these things to the post office. I use to use FedEx and UPS daily for pickups (selling on stubhub). Doesn't UPS charge a fee for pickups (regardless how many items)? I know FedEx doesn't as long as 1 package is Express. Update : Ignore. You typed USPS. Yes, USPS is great for free pickups.

jaisonline Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 REWIND one sale. I just had my first bricklink non-payer. My never opened (sealed peeled away) 6211 sold for $275. Well the Canadian hoser never paid. Dang. On the same day, I had a non-payer on eBay for my iPhone 5. At least the iPhone 5 was quickly resold. The 6211 not so quick.
