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...

jeff_14 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid and Endor Battle Pack to one guy for $60 CDN on craigslist. The tank was priced at 3 times what I paid for it and it sold for exactly the reason I figured this would be a winner - dude said he was getting it for his little brother who really wanted a Jango figure while having 5 Boba Fetts. Attack of the Clones indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinetu Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Finally got rid of my 9398 Crawler for 211€ excl. shipping. One of the more disappointing investments. 6 months of blocked funds (and attic :/) for meager 25€ profit after fees... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinetu Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 French ebay. So smallest fees there are for ebay (7.5% I think), but you sell your item with one free photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see the problem when you made a 15% profit in 6 months and it wasn't a small time item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinetu Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well the problem is that it wasn't a small time item. If it was Witch King Battle, 15% would be quite ok, here I was kinda hoping for something more substantial for such a cool set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it wasted space...hmm. Are you sure you already learned enough about selling technic? What did you expect? Tripling price after a year? Wait for, let's say at least 2 years after the EOL of technic sets. It works well for me! Hoping for big gains half a year later, hmm, perhaps the wrong line for you... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinetu Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yes, now I believe I learned something about the selling potential the Technic might have. The dwindling one I thought this one would hitchhike on 41999 ride as the crawler for the masses. Wrong call. Now, don't get me wrong guys, I realize it's not that bad and no, I didn't expect 300% ROI, but a zero less would be sort of nice. If it was consistently selling for 240€ in this time of year, I'd probably keep it and not sell at all. It's just the simple fact that when investment is not performing to your standards & expectations (provided they are realistic ofc), get out ASAP, your money is better spent elsewhere. Gingerbread Houses for example Takes way less space along the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let this be a lesson for future Technic investments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
