Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post 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
BrickLegacy Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 T-Rex + Raptor Escape + Free TRU gate build - $200 shipped eBay 1 Quote
thegooch49 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Agents Ocean HQ for $119 + $20 shipping. This one might be a 'hidden gem'. I got two of them at TRU for $50 last weekend. Not sure what sort of long term hold the set would be, but I'd say it's flip worthy if your buy in was $50. I was shocked to see that 2-3 of these per day were selling at $140, right after the theme was 30% off all weekend at TRU. Nice! 3 Quote

Bumped it up another $5 good job, looks like I was selling them 20usd cheaper compared to your price, but in general FW is about 20-30 USD cheaper here in Europe Quote

I don't like the thought of paying them storage fees, and I've read enough on here about poor handling of items sent to them and returned item scams that I'd just as soon manage the stuff myself. Next year I expect I'll have scaled up enough that I won't miss the quota. Right now I'm selling stuff locally for more in pocket then I would have been getting from Amazon anyways. That's fine for a month or so. Quote

Val-E Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I believe the theme is called Star Wars. Ok, you´d have missed POTC but you missed them anyway! Quote
exciter1 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Another Arendelle for $97 shipped on Amazon this morning. I can't a splain 'em? GS: Galactic Titan via EBay GSP - $100 - these still aren't as good of investment as Constitution Train was at $50. 1 Quote

But very difficult to sell. Quote

The Movie or Lone Ranger. That's very reassuring I took 5 of Super Cycle Chases at 25€ a pop... At such discount, was difficult to pass up. Oh, well, guess it's parting them then... Quote

I have only got some Ninjago, Red city train, Daily Bugle and the 42000 F1´s to get rid of and my portfolio will be much better balanced. If they are not gone by 31st Dec, I´ll put them on Brick Classifieds at RRP and basta. Edited December 1, 2015 by valenciaeric Quote
Vinetu Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I feel the same way about the Crawler. I've been attempting to sell it several times on ebay/BL for 209-229€. Nada. Now I realize it was an error of judgment and just want to get rid of it. It's listed at 200€ currently, if no one buys it before New Year's, it goes to RRP and basta as you say. Quote
Val-E Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 The crawler is selling well right now, as is 42006. I´d keep a hold of it for a while, especially as when the Volvo retires, it will be the only set with 4x4, portal axles and full remote control... Quote

I think I found your problem here, no one's going to pay €200 for the Crawler, a zero too many there 3 Quote
Vinetu Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I actually sold that little fella parted-out for more than 20€ Quote

Yeah, but when will the Volvo retire, it's a 2014 flagship!! Hold it what, another 2 years (that's hoping Volvo wouldn't pull 42009 on us) and sell it for what 240-250€? Wo-hooo Quote
Val-E Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Volvo goes late 2016. They are selling for 220-250 o ebay right now so unless you have multiples, it makes no sense to sell now. Another thing is what parts the 2016 flagship has. Quote
