What Lego set did you sell today and for how much?

[brickvoyeur]

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"

That's where I'm at. This is a money train for Disney and Lego and AT-AT's are always popular. I would be shocked not to see a new one, maybe even late this year.

Kind of hate myself now for leaving those on the shelves

You are not alone my friend.  I bought a few, but I left dozens.

Nice buy in price!  Were those on clearance or some TRU combo?

 

Also I forgot to add this little gem in my recent FBM sales.  I only had one that I got on clearance for really cheap:

Planets TIE Interceptor and Death Star 9676 - $26 + shipping

That's awesome.  I haven't checked the LOTR/Hobbit very much lately, because I figure they are just long term holds.  Well, after looking at amazon prices currently, it looks like a lot of sets have jumped a bit since the holiday season.  I always had a little faith in this set, because it's got Steven Tyler's elven clone.

snowspeeder and at-at prices are on the move up the last couple of weeks.  Imperial star destroyer still stuck in neutral.

i need to raise a little working capital and those AT-AT's are calling to me as well.  1000 piece at-at sets are on a 3-4 year schedule like clock work since 2003.  normally i'd say there is no chance for a new AT-AT before late 2017 and would want to hold til 2018  but Rogue 1 trailer has me spooked a little for an earlier remake first quarter next year.

I'm doing a tiered sales approach on these, and I'm debating on doing it with the ISD too (but I only have 5 of those), because like you, i'm kind of hedging that At-At's and ISD's will surely be re-released either in January or next year, and while they probably will have a new lineup of Mini's, the similarities will be too close.  So, my strategy is simply like this.  Had 12 AT-AT's - sell 3 now - I was hoping they would sell within a month or two, but they sold at the price I wanted (over 210.00) in less than 2 weeks, which shows me they have serious demand.  Then i'll sell 3 more over the summer/early fall period before September 30th force friday (at hopefully a higher price), then sell 3 more over the holiday christmas rush.  I'm going to hold 3 for the long term and probably one or two for a 5 year period. 

Just selling 3 of these right now, pretty much paid for half of the 12 I purchased.  So that is a win, in my book.  I'm thinking of moving the cash into a slave 1 (that i'll open), a sandcrawler (that i'll hold as an investment), and a FO Transporter (a set that I barely see in the stores anymore).

I sold a Spiderman Cycle Chase for $25, Superman Black Zero Escape for $25, Batman Man-Bat Attack for $25, Joker Bumper Car polybag for $10, and a City High Speed Chase for $15.  Buy in was $13.99, $13.06, $17.43, $4.35, and $6.46.  I made a profit of $44.71.  Not too bad and I'm glad I'm thinning out my Superhero sets.  I've had them for a while and felt like I was never able to get rid of them.  Especially the Superman Black Zero Escape sets.........big stinkers if you ask me.

Mixel Series 5 complete set- $55+7 shipping. Buy in ~39. Salescalc says I made 8 bucks. Two free mixels. Still have a couple more complete sets to sell. Agree with another site that these and CMFs are a way to go. Less headaches (picky buyers, storage,etc).

[sunkenbrick]

FBM 70783. sold at $14.48 incl. shipping. buy in was $2.50. profit $5.25.

[MarleyMoose]

Ebay: 14+ lbs of mixed bulk no figures or booklets for $110 + shipping. 

[Dark Helmet]

Got one of these dogs off of my hands 7065: Alien Mothership -$50 amazon.

Ant-Man sets for $50

[LegoAddict42]

Was a few days ago but sold one of my Ant-man sets for $45 and when I looked at the buyer it was the good folks at Toywiz who are selling them for somewhere around $75. I feel somewhat duped but good for them and I still made about a $30 profit on it.

Better prices on FBM. Sold for $75 in under a week (4/14). Buy-in was $37.50 but profit was $17.50.

9516 Jabbas Palace for $200 shipped on eBay. This was my last copy to sell.

I'm keeping one (opened with sealed bags) next to a Rancor Pit in the ever growing to-build-pile.

Also sold $300 of polybags (about 15 different) to Japan via BL. Ranged from $0.39 friends red carpet, $1.99 olafs and random stuff like pumpkin, rocking horse and various SW stuff. Probably $100-$150 profit on $100 buy in, 100%+ returns with most less than a year holds.

For that reason alone (selfish, I know) I hope LEGO does not ramp up operations in Asia. Sold many a polybag to Asian buyers - to the point that I know if I just list them for around the average BL price they'll sell within days.

Doesn't matter - your profit margin is going to be better than theirs.

That might also explain one of my Ant Man set sales to a shop on BL. They may be trying to flip it for more.

Fba :

antman : $78

at-at : $230

Sold my 3rd MKII (42009) for $299 (~$250 after shipping and fees).  Thats half my stash for the yoyo fire sale.  will probably hold the other 3 for a bit, but space is tight right now with clearance flowing in and Christmas a long way off...

[zskid00]

A couple more FBA sales:

Endor & Imperial Troop BP 9489 - $40

Croc Swamp Hideout 70014 - $125 - Sometimes there are winners in even the weakest performing themes.  I found this one lingering at TRU in December for about $50.  Unfortunately I didn't buy more earlier.

 

[Sprocket77]

Chima Flying Phoenix Fire Temple 70146     €75 cash (9 month hold, buy in €50)

Arkham Asylum Breakout 10937                   €238 shipped on ebay   (11 month hold, €150 buy in)

Only bought the Chima because the buy in was so cheap on a huge set, didn't think it was worth holding long term, so freed up cash flow there. Think it says a lot about the appeal of Chima, this was a €120 RRP set. I am now the proud owner of zero Chima sets, feels good.

Arkham Asylum was one of the first exclusives I bought when I started investing last year, I might have jumped the gun on this, but there's so much negativity around this set that I decided to cash in early. I already have other purchases lined up of recently retired sets that I think will do well, so rather put the money into them.
