Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post 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

jeff_14 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Was quiet after Christmas but just had a whole bunch happen at once. Catwoman, Arctic Batman, and the Power Armor Lex sets to one guy on Craigslist for $100 CDN, Paid half that. C3PO red arm polybag for $15 on Amazon. Was free 2 weeks ago. Iron Man Drone and Krang Turret polybags on Craigslist for $25 CDN, paid $10. Benny's ship for $120 CDN on Craigslist. Paid $75 just last week at Lego store. Quote

Zelgazra Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Sold a lot of 3x 75034 DS Troopers to a guy for $100 CAD shipped. Shipping cost $12, Buy in was $11.20 per after tax. After paypal and ebay fees I'm calculating approximately 122% ROI for a 4 month hold. Wish I'd bought more, guess they might still be out in the wild... get em if you can folks, easy cash! Edit: Oh yea, also sold a 3 set of WKB minifigs to a lady for $23 shipped, they'll go in a bubble mailer for $1.80, Buy in was ~6.50 after tax and some VIP points at the lego store 2 weeks back. When I started this investing thing I had fully planned on the long term hold thing... but once you get a taste of flipping....respect to the low lifes. Edited January 13, 2016 by Zelgazra Quote

Smh Avid SW collector here so I wish I had bought this set for myself when I first got out of my Dark Ages when it was trolling along in the low 200s. It's a pretty sweet model. Glad that it's finally going up. Quote

I know with everyone turning into QFLLL that there was a time where you had to hold onto a set for 2+ years before you sold it. Maybe everyone just forgot. 3 Quote

Maybe everyone just forgot. This isn't 5 years ago. You hold a set for longer than 2 years and you risk a remake. All I was saying is that if something going from 200 to 350 (before fees, materials, etc) in over 2 years is considered a winner, well, yikes. Sorry if that offended anyone.

Second. I think this is one thing we can get a 100% unanimous decision on, is that there is a 0% chance of a UCS Bwing remake. Third. I really do think we are getting into that zone. Maybe I have been reading the bubble thread a little to hard but the days of crazy %% increase are over. I do have to say though, this was never the best UCS investment but I'm happy that its chugging along. I think it will do great in the long run 5+ years with OT Anthology movies coming making old OT sets wanted. Ok sorry enough derailing of the selling thread. Quote
dustyshelf Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 So when you guys post your sales from FBA, is it after fees? Seems like your net should be quite a bit lower. Quote

Even if fees were $55-65 on the $350 sale and it was bought at MSRP, that's still a 19%-21 CAGR....that's not shabby at all. I assumed 2 years post-retirement as I don't recall when B-Wing officially retired. I'm not sure why anyone would complain w/ that type of return. That May the 4th B-Wing for $99 + the freebies....quite the deal (and obviously a better return than my example). Quote

Most of us think those who care will do the math and others just have the percentages memorized enough to figure it out in their heads. Those who post sale prices after fees usually say so. 1 Quote
