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...
jaisonline Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What system do you use to make up your Sales sheet Excel with some coding. Coping and pasting is also fast. I won't go into too much detail because the brickpicker exported file and brickfolio logic is changing (i read). Then my setup will need to change.

jgschmieg3 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 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.. I shipped my UCS sets to Portland, Oregon today. I have shipped to similar address in the past. Definitely going to China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 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. I did the same thing. I tried to ask him if it was ok to package them all together, but his responses were kind of cryptic. I went ahead and put them all in the same box with signature required and slapped some insurance on them, since I was saving on shipping anyway.

Dark Helmet Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 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.... What I want to know is how you got a DS2 for $120. and also I just sold my R2 and 3P0 Technic sets. yay for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What I want to know is how you got a DS2 for $120. and also I just sold my R2 and 3P0 Technic sets. yay for me It wasn't a DS2 but a Vader Tie Advance. I bought it for something like $60. Needed to buy and replace elements to complete it as well as the manual. I also replaced the sticker / stand with a better conditioned one and sold the older one, so my buy-in was actually more like $110 since I sold the old stand for a profit.

jeff_14 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm not usually a flipper but this one was too good by half. I bought a Hulk Helicarrier Breakout at Target 3 weeks ago on clearance for $35 CDN. I sold it on Kijji yesterday for $95! What I especially loved about this sale was that it was a "no cost" transaction from start to finish so the $60 profit is mine free and clear. I bought and sold it using my metropass so there were no transportation costs (ie gas and mileage) other than time, and using Kijiji there were no listing fees, no paypal fees, or shipping and packaging costs.

Nice jeff_14. I'm finding the Hulk set is selling very well for me too...if you're in the GTA maybe that was a customer you took from me lol. JK. Even at full retail price of $64 + tax, decent enough margin if buyers pay $100 or more. Yeah, obviously should of bought more at discounted prices. Like you said, no fees, delivery costs etc. so local exchange is nice. I've restocked my Hulk sets and hope buyers keep coming at $100-$140. Easy flips.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My very first Cat Cycle. Looks like these are picking up a bit now. Sadly I'm now out of 4529 Iron Man (but, keeping 1 for collection) as those went like hot cakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at eBay alternatives now as they're taking the piss raising FVF from 5.25% to 10%, this really adds up and takes a bigger chunk of profit than tax!

jaisonline Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Had a nice Sunday on Bricklink. A buyer from France helped me unload some of my inventory. 1 Toy Story Woody's Round-up (new) 1 10198 Tantive IV (open box. Only built once by me) 1 10144 Sandcrawler (no box) 1 Toy Story Buzz's Spaceship (new) 2 minifigs. Also sold a 6211 (no box) sold last Thursday. (Only need to unload 1 more of these, a sealed one). I was so happy with these sales that I did the Hulk Smash dance with my son's toy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoManiacc Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Finally let go of some dogs recently after a couple years of holding out hope in vain: 7572 PoP Quest Against Time $24/set after fees (-9% ROI) 7573 PoP Battle of Alamut $55/set after fees (20% ROI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sold a Helms Deep for $150 (bought it for $90 and still have 2 more for longer term sale) and a 4x4 Ltd Edition Crawler II for $350 (paid $250 and have 7 more for later resale). The nice part about both is that they were both Craigslist sales and so there are no shipping, listing or other such fees. The difference between purchase and sale is all profit, as are the credit card and LEGO VIP points I got when buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seapotato Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I hear you on selling via CL! I think with the increased postage rates at Canada post it almost isn't worth selling non locally. Can't compete with the lower shipping rates from the us! Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sold 4 Cap America cycles in the last 24 hours. The price on these is softening it looks like, probably due a bit to the new set coming out in the coming months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Managed to offload 2 more pod racer sets recently and down to last one which never was listed due to my toddler putting a whole in the box by standing on it. Also sold my remaining Cap sets, and have 2 Hulk sets left. The funny thing about the Hulk sets was having put 7 aside in my Diagon Alley boxes. It was like finding a bit of gold.

jeff_14 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Nice local sales. these 'big' sets with nice ROI will free up some cash for sure. Wasn't desperate for some cash but I got my 3 Helms Deep on the TRU clearance back in October, however 2 were sort of beat up (one had a gaping hole in it and the other was taped up). I saved the one with the hole for my personal collection after finding nothing missing and this sale was for the taped one at a nice profit considering its state. The one I have left for future sales in in pristine condition though so I'd like to wait a while into its EOL period before selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcatpunk Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sold a used complete MTT w/ instructions for $200 yesterday. Got it as part of a lot off Craigslist last year that also included 6210, AT-AP Walker, Spider Droid and a ton of Bionicles for $70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still keeping my local price firm at $170 CAN retail price...no rush, it's a great set and I have confidence it will appreciate nicely. If I sell some now no problem...will just raise listing price as my stock or local competition dwindles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
