What Lego set did you sell today and for how much?

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"

Found some on clearance at a Walmart.  Been to 7 others, nothing. So it was a lucky find.

 

I saw a bunch not selling at 95-100, so I figured $90 was a good mark. 

awesome!

[Legodog]

I just sold 3 in the last 24 hrs as well for $90.  It's time to bump the price back up again, but they weren't moving at $95.

 

I went $88 to get rid of 2 of mine. Might bump it back up to $95 or so for the rest.

Well, I must have spoke too soon.  Listed 3 Hulk Helicarriers for $95 and in about 24 hrs someone bit and bought all 3.  Now I need to figure out what I want to do with the rest of that I have.

I'm down to my last Hulk carrier...probably sold 7, which is a lot for me (new to invest/selling). I'm going to hang on to my last one for a few years at least I think!

Save the rest in-case it keeps appreciating for the next 2-3 years?

Sold a bunch of freebies (mini VW, Clone Troopers, Employees, Xmas Tree Stands, Xmas Tree Trucks) from Lego & TRU the last two weeks through eBay.  S&**** and fees amounted to about 25%... Can't complain about the net profit...

[znjndmawn]

Parted out 6858 which I bought for $11 and sold it for $22.

Was it someone out in CA?   Mine sold to a single person as well.

That is correct, he said he is a collector and to package them carefully.  I really think he is really a reseller from China.  That's me reading between the lines.

I made my first Amazon sale yesterday, pretty exciting! Also flipped a couple sets locally for an average of 60% profit. Pretty good for just holding onto them less than a month. I wish I had a car when there was the clearance at Target, I would have bought everything lol.

[nolanfan34]

I'm telling y'all, save those last Hulk's. $150 easy. I am basing that off the fact the shorts color will stay exclusive, and I think the original wave of Marvel sets will fetch an eventual premium. Gut feeling.

I sold my last Hulk Helicarrier 2 days before Christmas for 139 Euro (about 190 US$!)...

[Guest TabbyBoy]

Lots more 4529 Iron Men and Capt Am Cycles.  It wish I'd out a higher BIN price now!  But, triple what I paid after only 4 months isn't too bad I suppose. ;-)

I got about

[jgschmieg3]

Just sold a 10143 Death Star II and a 10134 Y-Wing Starfighter.  Boom!

[jaisonline]

one (no box) 100% complete 6211 Imperial Star Destroyer.  BOOM ! (nod to jgschmieg3)

 

 

1 sealed 6211 and 1 10144 Sandcrawler (box optional) left to sell before this summer's refreshes.

But "my brickfolio" took a hit!

What were you able to get for these sets.

[siulon]

you can quite track your realized profit/loss with brickfolio, correct?

once you sold a set, you basically take it off?

[jgschmieg3]

Got about $650 for the Death Star after shipping -  not eBay.   Got about $310 after fees and shipping for the Y-Wing.  Both used.

I'm pretty sure you're right.  I was lucky I noticed they were going to different addresses because I packaged them all together before noticing he was sending them to different places, though they all appeared to be going to the same apt. complex or something.  As long as he doesn't try to pull any crap with me, I don't care if he sends them to the North Pole.

you are correct. 

 

my solution...

 

i export my brickfolio to one file.  then i automatically copy some data from that exported file in my "Sales" file.

 

my sales file looks like this....

Interesting. I sold a couple to a Chinese guy that lived in LA, California in an apartment complex.

i had a buyer from the Philippines who purchased one of my UCS SW sets.  Since he has a sister living in NYC and they visit each other, I shipped the set there to save me grief and him money.   Can you ask if he has something similar?

 

Anyway, make sure you ship using USPS Priority or Express International and with insurance to protect yourself (add delivery signature if offered).  Since the target destination is in China, I wouldn't lie on the Customs form either.  Not worth taking a chance with the Chinese..
