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...
longshot Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just returned a sea cow from amazon and reordered another. Came in crushed. Happens again they can keep the next one..........Ughhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinetu Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Spoken like a TLG executive There's no guarantee on that, especially since their license seems extended with 2016 Volvo. I am still a small time seller with low feedback count on ebay, and on French ebay where I first registered, there's simply not enough visibility :/ I get anywhere between 10-20 visits; a fellow reseller or two follows the sale and no bids... Kinda tired of it. Especially since there's cr*ap load of them from German resellers with way higher feedback ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Movie or Lone Ranger. I never thought much of the Movie sets but the few ones I got sold well - and I credit that to pure luck. But I have to admit that I only bought The Movie sets at more than 50 % off. Got one Bad Kitty and one Creative Ambush left and I'm done with the theme. Lone Ranger is a different story all together - Stagecoach Escape anyone??? Edited December 1, 2015 by TigerG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when you have sold your stash. Same with Unimog. The day after you sell there will be a sudden intense demand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete411 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 4x GBH for $49 shipped Sold my last City Logging Truck for $85 shipped at $11 buy in. I find is amusing that I made more profit on that one than what I'm expecting for one of my PS three years from now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda want one of those stagecoaches to go with 90's Wild West sets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) It´s just insane what people are willing to pay for those recent rare CITY sets. Look at 60061 - apart from in my backward country, it is trading for at least double RRP of 30 when many will have got it at 10-20 euros. I´m waking up to the fact that exclusives are no longer the way to go in this game. Edited December 1, 2015 by valenciaeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I sold through all of my Stagecoaches at $50 each and made a good profit. I picked up 20 or so at KMart for $11-$13 each. Still kicking myself for leaving behind the 20 or so Gandalf Arrives at $6 each. I think I bought 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will be pleasantly surprised when it goes. 8 minutes ago, exciter1 said: I sold through all of my Stagecoaches at $50 each and made a good profit.

Gandalf Arrives has to be one of the best investment winners of the last 2 years. Its at least top 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenxxx Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Sold a Star Wars Advent Calendar back to Walmart for $40. I just found it there a couple weeks ago... picked it up just in case things got "crazy". But they didn't. Listed it on craigslist for $49... (no calls)... decided to give it back so some kid can enjoy it this year at regular retail. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting lower appreciation than the GE, as GE was lower than FB in the same span of time. PS will plateau at $250 well after retirement.

Oh, it will but it will be your son´s grandchildren that will be deciding whether to sell 40% of their inherited stock, not you! They´ll then have the tough decision on whether to reinvest in DS or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Today, sold my TRU force friday lego give-away brick for 16.00 plus shipping. Death Star Troopers for 18.00 then I raised my price, and another sold at 25.00. Don't know why..don't know how, but i've come to the conclusion they could print darth vader crapping out chewbacca right now on a 3x3 lego brick and it would sell for 50.00. JW Raptor Escape with GT Poly for 120.00 shipped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poly 30286 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The last 24 hours in one post: Sales are soaring on holiday sets. (Frozen still a profit for now). JW returns are slowing for some. Star Wars advent calendars are better off returned to where you bought them. Super cheap finds may yield more profit than the Pet Shop (that is, until the day after you unload your last PS and the price sky rockets). The Lego Movie vs. The Lone Ranger - which one is a worse investment? Sea Cows are too big to ship safely (because it's a cow, after all). Back and forth about VW potential. 25 minutes ago, valenciaeric said: The way things are going, Lego may be making VW´s for longer than VW!
