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...

rdandy5875 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I sold a bundle of the CITY Train and Square that we got from yoyo a few days ago, for $310 shipped via ebay. After shipping I pocket about $30. I thought that was ok for a quick flip, but in hindsight I'll probably list the next set @ $320-$325. I'm just getting into this but I do typically try to keep my pricing pretty low. Also a Tie advanced prototype for $55 shipped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelgazra Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) 15 minutes ago, seapotato said: Nice. where did you find a box to fit the set? I had ordered 4 from Walmart.ca the night the sale went live. 2 per carton. I've sold one via CL, so I put my listing up as 2 available, Ready to Ship... since I have(had) the two original shipping boxes. The third one, if I sell it on ebay, I'll have to come up with something. That said, I work at MEC on the inventory team. The quantity, and size range, of boxes we get on a nightly shipment is astounding, and they all just go into the recycle bin. I'm swimming in boxes of every size imaginable that I've been collecting over the past 6 months, so surely I've got something in the piles that would suit it nicely. Free shipping materials for the win. Edit: I used some smaller boxes I'd collected to ship used sets that were measured to the same width of a CT, to use as snug filler in place of the 2nd tower, as obviously the box was 2x too big... since it was shipping by weight with a set that size, extra volume didn't seem to affect my shipping pre-calculations... Buyer conveniently located in Chilliwack, so shipping was $14 or something. Edited January 2, 2016 by Zelgazra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Sold a lot of 8 sets on Craigslist for $850. Buy in about $700, so I didn't make a ton, but I generally just list sets that won't make me any money on ebay yet due to fees. Freed up some capital at least.

CrabslayerT Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just sold the set that brought me out of the my dark ages, 10210 Imperial Flagship, £300 which should work out around £289 after shipping. Not too shabby for a used set! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Sold a few pieces of my childhood today. Good thing too, paid for the Tumbler I grabbed yesterday... 6278 Enchanted Island $166 shipped and as a lot 6799 Showdown Canyon $22.25 5958 Mummy’s Tomb $44 5948 Desert Expedition $47.50 = $113.75 shipped. The haggling was real on this one. Since these were from before my dark ages, my buy-in was $0. Did fairly well I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelgazra Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yea and I probably could've listed higher, it sold in 36 hours. I did very well according to the brickfolio... not sure if that set is updated yet or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up a couple myself, the other day but the baseline is still less than 150 euros in a lot of countries. Just one more, but the shop I got them from still has some at RRP. Didn't pick them all up originally as I had just started investing and didn't know alot about the theme. The store's a bit out of the way, so don't get to it often. That was up for 7 months, so wasn't exactly a fast mover. Had plenty of low ball best offers, but just stayed patient, this one was an offer about 6% below my asking price, so decided I'd let it go. The visit to that store was a great way to start investing and show the missus that I wasn't crazy, picked up 2 Fallingwaters, a Farnsworth House and a Republic Class Venator Attack Cruiser.

TheGallows Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 10227 b-wing £265 shipped, kinda regretting this, most well have just sold an x-wing. Gingerbread house £25 Series 3 mixels £40 cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtot Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) The price difference on Amazon an eBay just shows what kind of buyers each site attracts, and why in the last 12 months I've shifted most of my stock towards Amazon, around 70% on the river and the leftovers on eBay. Gingerbread house is a prime example, I've been selling them for around £39 on Amazon, and you can easily get one for around £25-£30 on eBay.

Had done, recent listings on the set had sold for around $120 CAD + shipping. Mine was missing some stickers so I listed at 99% complete at $155 + shipping, thinking I was listing high and would get offers at $130ish. And it turns out I could've asked higher I think. Still, a quick sale at asking price is a much as I could've hoped for really, happy to net $135 profit on a 20 year old set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapilgrim Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 75015 x2 $50 shipped. This was a classic throw in closet and forget about it. One was free from target promo a year or so ago, other was 60% off at FM. Have a few more, they appreciated nicely. (Amazon) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
