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...
jeff_14 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Haven't had a Craigslist sale in a while and suddenly 2 different people responded to my LOTR listing and I'm now out of that line completely. Each bought Gandalf Arrives, Shelob Attacks, and Attack on Weathertop for $160 CDN. I paid just over half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Just sold a Dynamic Duo Funhouse on Amazon for $100 CDN. Netted $80 after fees and shipping on a $55 purchase. Think I'll raise the price on my last one. Edited September 29, 2015 by jeff_14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxio Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 42006 £100. Nice buy-in at £27 from Asda very soon after release. Still got a couple left. Technic tends to sit a while but returns are usually good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 A couple of Indominus Rex sets for $189 each. T-Rex Tracker for $105.8017 Darth Vader's Tie Fighter for $130 in state; therefore, the shipping cost was reduced by 50%.6195 Aquanauts Neptune Discovery Lab, used without box. $99 - Sorry to see it go but I really don't have room for everything. **All prices in USD** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Not good margins on JW, unless you got them below retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Not good margins on JW, unless you got them below retailI bought a bunch of sets last week at retail and sold them this week for 50% profit. That's beyond good in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory730 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yea i dont know where u sell but i will buy every set you have or see for retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think the math is a little off. 129.99 x .50= 65. You would have had to have sold them for 195 with no fvf or shipping fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Sounds more like 15-20$ profit, which is more like 15% margin approximately - not trying to burst your bubble, sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory730 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yea I dont know about 50% profit except RE but I would not even think of selling these unless have 30 plus of each set. This line will be most profitable one possibly ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 This thread is "What did you sell today and for how much" not "I'm going to comment about the margins I don't know you're getting because I'm bored."I think the math is a little off. 129.99 x .50= 65. You would have had to have sold them for 195 with no fvf or shipping fees.I think he meant he bought them at retail and sold them for 50% more. Jeff_14 also sells a lot locally (Toronto is a big market) so how do we know that isn't true? Besides, London Drugs in Canada had all the JW sets for 15% off and after had a 15% + $10 off a while back so an IRex set could be had (and was had) for $132.76 out the door where I live. That's about $100 US which redghostx often buys in Canada and sells in the US so even with fees and shipping... $198 - $100 = $98 .. what's left after fees and shipping? Looks like a tad over 50% is possible.What's the point? Again, let's keep speculation in the proper place please .. and this is not that place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Not good margins on JW, unless you got them below retail My minimum ROI for all sets is 25% cleared, including a user fee to cross the border, for all medium sets with one exception (a HE used set that I sold at a17% annualized ROI) but since you asked... Indominus RexSale Price 189.00S&H&Fees - 44.66Purchase price - 102.33Gross profit - 42.01 US per set or a 41% return for a 4 week hold.T-Rex TrackerSale Price 105.00S&H&Fees 26.04Purchase Price - 52.54Gross Profit - 26.42 US per set for a 50% return for a 4 week hold. Could have squeezed an extra 3 dollars by shipping smart post but that adds a trip to Fedex. This isn't really enough profit for me on this set, based on the work involved, so I bumped my price up and will hold for later. AquanautsSale Price - 99.00S&H&Fees - 24.37Purchase Price - approx. 30 (have to check my database)Gross Profit - 44.63 US for a 148% return on a 3-4 month holdDarth VaderSale Price - 130.00S&H&Fees - 22.59Purchase Price - approx. 45 (have to check my database)Gross Profit - 62.41 US for a 138% return on a 4 month hold. Profit may be reduced by $10.75 if I have to pay when I cross the border next time. Thank you for your concern 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought all my JW sets at retail. I did get Chapters points worth 15% but didn't factor this in when doing my post above. So I actually did better than advertised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply said they were available at less than retail... It just goes to show what's typed isn't always the full message or 100% clear and we ought not to assume it is (or that the 10,456th post about how could you possibly be making any money is tiring to read).
