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...
BearCrash Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Sold a 5888 Ocean Interceptor the other day for a little over €75 (after fees). Buy-in was about €21.I didn't think it would sell since 75915 Pteranodon Capture is available in stores for €25-ish and it's basically the same set in a different color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSgames101 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It just depends, I do both.Okay then in your case was it better to sell the 2 batman sets together or separately profit wise, just wondering whether you put a discount if you're selling them in a lot.

Popular Post biking_tiger Posted August 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2015 This weekend: My last Family House for $98 shipped on eBay (loved that Target sale last winter), a Logging Truck for $57 shipped on Amazon, a few more Winter Soldiers ($17 shipped, eBay), and a "retro" pirate in a box. On a side note, I didn't post on this thread for most of my first year because I felt it was too much ego. Here's why I changed my mind: it's helpful for other BPers to know how much sets are currently getting. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the community. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It totally helps, you get informed of what's selling and for what price and it also gives indication for when sales are picking up in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone who contributes to the community. besides the daily deal thread, this is the most useful thread on brickpicker. sometimes i even hesitate to post on this thread because inevitably it means more competition, but all of our investment futures in plastic bricks are somewhat stuck together so sharing info is useful. lame pun totally intended.from your post i know its time to start selling some Winter Soldier's.also heads up - you can still find the Logging Trucks for $16.99 at stop and shop grocery stores in the northeast. snagged 8 in rhode island on drive back from cape cod last friday.

I'd like to think the prices listed here should give a few a shot of "hey, I can raise my prices and still sell this stuff" instead of the race to the bottom. This is the only reason I look at this thread. It's a great barometer for timing. Thanks on the Family House info. It may be time to start unloading.Re: Family House... I only had five, sold all and doubled my initial investment, so I'm happy. I have a sense there will be more listings as the holidays approach as many bought large #s that "fell off a truck" last spring. Maybe I'm wrong, but doubling my investment or close to it) is my goal/strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're out there in smaller shops, lingering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tgnmonster Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 T-Rex Tracker for $102.49 (free shipping) on eBay. Picked it up at Kmart and paid $19 after points, surprise points, and coupon.Tip. Sears always seems to have $10 back on $30/$40/$50 purchase for clothes, shoes, etc. If you're spending a good amount on Back to School stuff, you can use a new coupon each time you go to the register, so break up your purchase to maximize the points you get back. My wife thought I was a bit crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wait until a set is worth double the amount of the retail in used condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephMali Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 several first wave chima sets (not chi temple). I only lost about 30 after fees and shipping. they were bought around 50% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Mini Modulars set 10230 for $330 CAN (before fees and shipping). Knew I should of bought more of this set lol. Decent enough profit for me. Haven't been active lately with general Lego news/rumours but who knows how much higher this set might/can go, especially when set #2 is released eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt1147 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 A lot of people still think that when something qualifies for prime shipping that they are buying directly from Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
