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...

Alpinemaps Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Yes. Listed separately, but sold together. I love when that happens, especially since I offer free shipping. I had a buyer buy a set of Orange and a set of Brown Mixels Series 2 yesterday for about an average of $28 for each set of 3. Buy in was about $12 for each set.Although it may seem small for profit, I did so well with Series 1 that I could donate all my remaining stock and still be ahead. So every Mixel sold is pure profit at this point. Yes. Listed separately, but sold together. I love when that happens, especially since I offer free shipping.

Pokeshop Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Some thin margins there. But at least you're making it up through volume.Yeah, everything looks like you made a lot, until you factor in 12-15% in Ebay/Paypal fees, then another $10-$20 in shipping costs and not sure how some get around local sales tax? Once I get my eBay monthly invoice it always feels like I made only a couple bucks and the winners in all this is USPS, FedEx and Ebay... Oh and Lego for me buying it in the first place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msdontplay01 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Some thin margins there. But at least you're making it up through volume.Nah, not as thin as you think. I pay less in shipping since I use my company's shipping account to receive discounted rates, which I am allowed to do. The prices paid include tax. I keep a detailed spreadsheet of all my sales and know exactly how much profit I make on each transaction. If I can not make a minimum of 40% profit after purchase costs, ebay/Paypal fees, shipping, and packing materials, I do not bother selling an item. I'm usually online for my job anyway and frequent stores regularly anyway so I do not account for the time involved in finding my stash to sell.
