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...
siulon Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

matt1147 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunfuzd Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

seapotato Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 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 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 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.

Titus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I sold my last Hulk Helicarrier 2 days before Christmas for 139 Euro (about 190 US$!)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 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. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siulon Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 you can quite track your realized profit/loss with brickfolio, correct? once you sold a set, you basically take it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgschmieg3 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What were you able to get for these sets. Got about $650 for the Death Star after shipping - not eBay. Got about $310 after fees and shipping for the Y-Wing. Both used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's me reading between the lines. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 you can quite track your realized profit/loss with brickfolio, correct? once you sold a set, you basically take it off? 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....

I sold a couple to a Chinese guy that lived in LA, California in an apartment complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
