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...

Vinetu Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 OK, I feel like a total n00b posting in this thread, but I sold my first set! Actually, second, 7672 Rogue Shadow was the first in 2011 but that was more spontaneous, I found two on clearance 25% off 2 years after retirement and sold one, CL style, the following day for almost double RRP. But I considered it a lucky one off, little did I know about the business or Brickpicker back in the day. But now, something as planned investment: 75021 Republic Gunship for 130€ excl. shipping. Buy-in was 69€. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regret blowing mine out for 24 to 28, but ohh well. Cant' look back. I guess the question is will the gingerbread house go the same route? Or is the window even more limited due to the fact that it will start to go out of stock right near the end of the holiday selling season.

justapilgrim Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 After selling almost exclusively on ebay, the trains are what converted me to amazon. Higher fees, but trains selling $10-$15 higher than ebay, and almost instantly if you are lowest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been averaging $30 CAD back in pocket after shipping and fees on ebay. Sold another on Wednesday. Holding the rest until my GBHs and SVs arrive, for bundling action.

labfreak7 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Blew through all 9 creative boxes from Thursday- shipping killed me though with orders literally across the country California, Arizona, Texas, Washington. Still about 15-20 profit per. Amazon shipping credits suck. Glad to get rid of them. Shorter but still take up some room. Also unloaded my creative suitcases from last summer. About ~ 70 range on each set. Too big to store long term, and prices might take a hit once all the online orders roll in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too big to store long term, and prices might take a hit once all the online orders roll in. that was SQFLL. these are heavy sets almost 6lbs-7lbs. even with FBA shipping (inbound/outbound no consolation) regular shipping comes out the almost $6,97 to $24,43 based on distance. these kind of items are good for folks in middle of the country they can pretty much ship at the same price both direction with regard to 10682 its the canadian supply that's keeping the price down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocketing $40-$43, I've adjusted price here and there. They are selling over $50, they weigh less than 13oz so shipping is just over $3 and amazon gives a $5 shipping credit.
