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...

Price point is a little higher on the IST tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biking_tiger Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Cargo Terminal for $185 shipped on eBay (shipping was low because close to home).Buy in was higher than some (~$80 last Christmas), but the ROI is nice for less than a year.

Battrax Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) The more significant stuff:Horizon Express. US$185.00 shipped, eBay. Not bad for an US$80 Craigslist find a few months ago. Looks like a beautiful set, thank goodness it was hidden from my sight.Another 10695 Creative Box, US$35 on Craigslist. Bought at ~ US$21. Still have three left!

colossus Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Very 1st sales made during past 2 weeks on Amazon (prices + shipping credit): 1x Castle King's Castle #70404 - sold for $198 + $6.99 shipping credit, paid $110 TRU 1x Ant Man Final Battle - sold for $29.50 + $4.99 shipping credit, paid $15 Walmart clearance Just curious how you sold Ant Man for $29.50. It's showing as $19.xx in stock by Amazon.... did it run out of stock when the movie came out last week? I picked up 4 with the same Walmart clearance but was busy having surgery so no time for QF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msdontplay01 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I believe that's exactly what happened. It was going in and out of stock all last week. Amazon was out of stock and my listing was the lowest price at the time. About 2 hours later it was back in stock at Amazon with a "In stock but will take 1 - 2 days to process" message.

biking_tiger Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Another Family House for $98 shipped on eBay. These were the ~$35 sale variety from Target last Winter. Glad I cleared their shelves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 4429 helicopter rescue $76 shipped, $30 WM clearance This isn't doing too badly for a set that wouldn't move off the shelves. My buy-in average is slightly higher, so I'm going to be waiting awhile longer. Another Family House for $98 shipped on eBay. These were the ~$35 sale variety from Target last Winter. Glad I cleared their shelves. Nice! Hadn't really been paying attention to these. That $35 sale at Target was a gold mine for these and I cleared about all of them in our local area at that price. It helped that they weren't marked but were scanning at that price, that kept most of the vultures at bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
