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...
speedpro50 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I sold a used Lego Star Wars Trade Federation MTT (7662) for $170 via eBay today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 My used 10179 has finally found a new home. Sold for about $1400. I've had it for a year or 2, paid around $950. Won't be a huge money maker after fees, but happy to make money at all. 2013 is going to be expensive for new sets with Hobbit, but I am currently trying to find those sets that will be the next to jump.

Talon Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 finally started loading some stuff to sell Sold a 2012 Holiday set for 18 bucks plus shipping. net should be around 15 pure profit. So bibious, you are the ONE driving the price down? I've sold four and now I'll have to lower my price a lot to compete or hold on to them. I sold the last for $26.90 including shipping. But then, I did know that the price would go down as everyone started getting their shipments and unloading some. OOPS, I spoke too soon, just accepted a best offer of $42 for two including shipping! Now only twenty to go! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibious Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Haha I was hoping it would go up. 24 hour auction starting at 17.99 hoping it would get more bites but only 1 bid. Oh well its a free set Nice job on selling for 26.90! that is a solid price. I still have some 2011 holiday sets left but no real bites on them Do you think these will go up after some time?

He obviously had 20k to spare for the holidays, and a lot of spare time ordering from LEGO Shop at Home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Sold my one and only 10188, after fees and all I made $10, actual just under $10. Not proud of the $10 I made, but glad to free up room of a set that doesn't seem to be going EOL anytime soon. I'll pick another one up when and if the 'Live Star' actually does go EOL, until then I'm not tying my money up in another one of those.

I have thought about doing this as well, but would only do this via my local craigslist. Wouldn't make any money off it otherwise. Freeing up the cash is nice though.

Sue866 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Lol would you like me to start the new "where are the chicks" thread (as you so eloquently described ) so you don't get smacked down by lady agro. I can shout out to the AFFOL's, one chick to another and wouldn't mind knowing if there are any other gals around too. I'm Tammy ... I'm a girl ... and addicted to LEGO of the non-friends variety ! Girl lurker but I do like the "Friends" sets. I like LOTS of themes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
