Didn't make the Amazon cut-off so I've been shifting to Craigslist and am getting lots of nibbles, especially after I put up my Star Wars listing with 12 different sets. I've sold a star wars advent for $75 CDN (paid $50), a corporate alliance tank and endor troop battlepack combo for $60 (paid $30 total) and razcal's glider and crawley's claw ripper combo for $40 (paid $25). All today. Eat it Amazon. When someone has a 99 sell score they should be able to sell anything regardless of arbitrary volumes. And I pay no fees to you now. Bwah-hah-hah.

10188 Death Star for 420 euro cash.

Really? I wasn't a fan at all for a long while since it clearly wasn't going anywhere & then the news of the remake but I'm thinking this could be a solid investment now that I think it is going away.

Feel free to add punctuation wherever you see fit...

Edit: OK now I'm reading you also bought one today...

Why do you not try Amazon FBA?

Ultra agents ocean hq price jumping up on Amazon. Sold one for $150, paid under 60.

I thought price would drop on these as I sold 4 before black Friday for $130. Will hold on to the  remaining 7 now.

Since black friday, i've had a pretty excellent week. About a 1/4th of my sales was legos, while a large chunk was star wars related merchandise. Today my hands are tired from packaging quite a bit and making two trips to the Post office.

3 Republic Gunships for 190.  Buy in was around 85.  I'm saving my other 2 for the long term.

5 Homing Spider Droids for around 40.  My buy in on these was at a walmart clearance for 15 each plus tax.. So, I came close to doubling my money. Figured, i'd dump these now, before the reissue and use the money on the last hobbit stuff that is still obtainable.

3 X-wings for 165 (these sold quickly once I moved my price down).  

2 A-wings for 43 (see homing spider droid for reason).  Ill keep the others for a little longer.

2 Deloreans for 140.  Holding the other 2 for a while.

Thought quite a bit about leaving some Wave 1 LOTR stuff go, but reason took over, and I decided to hold them for another year.

Sold one of those VIP calendars for $21 shipped.

 

Seeing some of the sold listings on the 40138/40139/40125, I'm curious what I'm doing wrong. If I sort either search (or combine the search numbers) by Price + shipping Lowest First, my listings are always right near the top of the list, top 5 lowest prices. I've done my due diligence with checking sold listings, checking current listings, factoring in shipping (which from my experience is ~$16 max to the other side of the continent, US or CAN), and factoring in exchange rates. My listings for Americans should be a steal of a deal (though maybe not as good as KensBricks was offering, lol), but I'm not getting any watchers or asks, only a handful of views. Does anyone have any advice to make my Canadian listings a better competitor against your own US based listings? ;):P

 

Edit: Possibly answering my own question, but my GBH and SV and combos thereof, are all PRE ORDER, since Fedex isnt coming until Friday. Though I saw several preorders going down before GBH was even released, with many multiples sold ahead of time, so that can't be too big of a turn off for people? Maybe it is when everyone else has theirs 'in-hand'?
