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...

I guess bricklink was the wrong platform to sell that one. there is a price lag in other platform vs amazon based on number of eye-balls. that's for certain. even after buying so much at bricklink one thing that scares the hell out are stores that don't have shipping charts or quotes enabled. some of these store's shipping costs are simply out of roof.

If you look under sold listings I was the $60 in feb, they started selling more ($75ish) afterward, I marked this one down from $80.00 in December to clear space for new inventory. Another factor was that the box was damaged and was stated in item description, which probably affected the time it took to sell. BTW my shipping terms are clearly stated and I charge USPS rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanfjr Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I just sold (10) Chicken Suit Guy Minifigure 5004468 in the last 24hrs for 14.00 each, I have 10 left, pondering to hold them or sell them off now. I feel that these are quick flips, not sure about holding for long term, but might hold a few just encase...

I sold on eBay, yes in one lot, so that helps with the shipping expense so was: -10ebay, -4.36pp and I have to ship out, so profit should be about 50.00 I thought that was fair for a quick flip, and assuming I have more if I can duplicate I will take $50 chunks of profit. use that to buy Lego I actually want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes more sense and would be worth it. Your original post didn't mention that so I thought it was 10 separate transactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your original post didn't mention that so I thought it was 10 separate transactions. yea I see my bad, I just am not sure if I want to quick flip them all (they are new & have hype now so seems to be the time) or sit on some and hope for value long term, I have been watching eBay the past 24hrs and they have been selling like hotcakes, I will agree with your first initial thought, that I can not sell individual due to the shipping costs. so bulk lots are the way to go, by all means I don't want to get stuck with piles of chicken men figures long term, it was cool to get the police atv for free at TRU gave that to my boy. I think buy now & sell fast, was just curious of others opinions. Edited March 7, 2016 by Deanfjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
