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...

This was the last of the 3 I bought for 50% off on Boxing Day 2014 at Walmart. I wish I'd held on to the other 2 a little longer. I "only" doubled my money on those. May invest the proceeds in some Brick Bountys I saw the other day. Those have already been appreciating nicely. So I'm confused on how 75055 could sell at $385? Is that US dollars? I see plenty new in sealed boxes from great sellers around $200. How did you get double what most other sellers are getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see plenty new in sealed boxes from great sellers around $200. How did you get double what most other sellers are getting. Even the currency difference doesn't explain that much of a gap. In my opinion there's just less competition up here and so less supply, which means prices can go higher, especially on Amazon. In my case, I have a 100% rating and have been selling for a year now so I think that helps reassure those who are plunking down big bucks. I just sold an AT-AT for $280 CDN last night. I bought it at the same time as the Star Destroyer. Got 3 of each set plus 3 of the Benny Spaceship for half price at Walmart 2 Boxing Days ago and just have the 1 ATAT left. Really wish I'd gotten more. Edited March 29, 2016 by jeff_14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapilgrim Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I realized I was in a buying frenzy, I chickened out on long term hold, sold 10x bricktober TRU for $12.99 ea. Still made some quick money and have 2x more airjitzus in the pile (all to same buyer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 2015 Bricktober set for $62.50US after shipping and fees - probably to another seller. Thanks to TRU Canada for the (almost) free $100 sets. Other recent sales are boring although the 60052 Cargo Train parting out is working fine. I am taking in $128-130US after fees and have kept all of the switch track, straight track, cow cars (for use or future sale), and all of the cargo docks. Pretty good for a $95-102 buy in plus it helps keep the metrics up for the top rated discount for the 2016 fall/Christmas season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacoCat Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Superman Man Of Steel Bundle: 76002 Metropolis Showdown, 76003 Battle of Smallville, & 76009 Black Zero Escape - $89.99 on eBay. Plus the buyer paid shipping to Canada. I'm a little shocked these sold above MSRP! A decent profit too considering my buy-in for the lot was around $30. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmelt Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 eBay this week: Police patrol 60045, got it for about 30, sold for 72... and a UCS B wing for 310 (got it for 100).... Both had buyer paid shipping. The police patrol was one that is a great sleeper city set like the logging truck and last ambulance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Sold a mixed bag of polybags to a local fellow off Craigslist - Iron Man drone, Umbaran MHC, Fall Scene, and my last 2 Lego Movie Police Enforcers for $55 CDN total. Paid less than half that for these. Also sold another Raptor Escape on Amazon for $100 CDN before shipping. This set has been great. I got 15 back in October at MSRP but with bricktober sets as a bonus, and I've sold about one per week since the start of the year on Amazon. At the same time I got the notice last night, someone emailed me about the set off Craigslist and said he could do $60. I just laughed and deleted that. Only 4 left. I'm going to miss this set when it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickerbrack Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Sold my last Republic Gunship for $220 + Shipping on eBay. I know I probably could have made more if I waited a little longer, but that huge pile of Santa Workshops has been killing me. I needed the cash flow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMoose Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Sold a lot of 30 lbs of used LEGO no minis or booklets for $220 + shipping. It was most of a lot I picked up Monday for $60. I sorted out non LEGO. I have a few SW minifigures, many baseplates and a few more lbs to sell from it too. Not a bad flip in under a week. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
