4 x 10240 on ebay for $212 + shipping each (and I'm not afraid to admit it) B)

Most were bought with some discount or promo attached, so cost was reduced.  And another bonus: 1 buyer bought 3... all shipping together for $12.  I will say it makes me nervous to sell these when LEGO Shop at Home is "Sold Out", but I had more of these than I wanted. And the eBay refund-your-fees promo made it convenient to cash out. They sold fast tho... wish I woulda asked for $5 or $10 more.

No shame in making a gut call.  I've held onto some AAs that haven't appreciated.  Part of this game is knowing when to sell...and that includes retired sets and those on the brink of retirement or perpetual EOL (Pet Shop, T1 and TB...I'm looking at you!)

I'm holding onto my Red Fives for now.  I'm anxious to see how this does in a couple months when EP7 fever is widespread and everyone is itching to use up those holiday gift cards and cash during the long stretch of cold, winter months.

Sold all of my deloreans on Amazon for 144 each. Had 6. Definitely the best appreciation on a set of my brick folio, so that's why it had to go.

Like everyone else- wish I had bought more, but hindsight is always 20/20.

Only caveat is the stupid high shipping prices on Amazon. Why can't they give a discount like eBay does?

Stop by BAM today and picked up their last 75038 Jedi Interceptor. Used a $5 off coupon and a "free" $10 gift card (I got when I renewed my membership yesterday), so I paid $11.13.  Put it on Amazon and sold it for $52.98 shipped. Put $34 back in my pocket = 200% profit.

I blew out a complete set of microfighters series one the other day for 109 plus shipping.  I bought 4 of the 6 on clearance, and paid 8.00 for the other two.  Complete win in my book.  3 more complete sets to blow out.  I figure i'll tier them as the prices rise.  I see these topping out around 150ish.

Either way, Star Wars is hot right now.  

Sold a droid gunship for 72 plus shipping credit.  Paid mid 20's for it.  Have a few more of these to go too and more than doubled my money on that one.

It must be mixel season. Series 2 for $73 just to get one sold when I had a bunch of other items to ship and now 3 sets at $80 each. Nice to see that the $65 people are out so the price can recover.

i got out @ higher 80's in AMZ. there are at the very least two sellers with asian supply. so prices are going to dampen and never go above 90's with them having don't know how many sheds of mixels.
