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 decided to hold all of my 2014 stock rather than turn it over for 2016 sets. I am guaranteed less work and competition, but will it cost me profits? Full report in 2 years and then I need to figure out what to do for 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I will have to wait until at least 2020 before I can make $$ on my stacks of Minecraft Cave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I sold the beat up box tower bridge I picked up the other day for $200. Not too interesting but I did sell it on a new site (new to me) Nextdoor.com. It's a message board website for neighborhoods. It has a classified section. I don't think I will list any thousand dollar SSDs there but it might be good for small and used stuff. It's also great for getting local recommendations. It's gotten so expensive to sell online, love seeing a new local source beside craigslist. It's much more personalized than CL too so I don't expect the garbage responses I sometimes get on CL. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's been on it for a while, so I'd heard of it, she sold our old stroller with it. Taking your advice, I put up a listing saying I have a bunch of new and used sets. I've already had two responses in the first couple hours, that equals the number of non-scammer CL responses I've had in the last month and a half (neither of which actually bought anything). Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Leveller Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Sold The Lonely Mountain for € 170. Down to my last now I don't see the price for this set going up anytime soon so I'll probably get rid of the last one in the coming month.

Cheese Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Sold 2 Ant Man for £44 each. £10 buy in, in the recent TRU event. Also got reduced eBay fees so greater margin.. So all in clearing £28 for what is a 6 week hold. That's 4 that have been sold now. Just regretting not taking the remaining 5 that were still on the shelves after I have exhausted my vouchers. Based on recent sales, this is gathering momentum. Will keep the remaining few I have left till the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Making$EveryWay Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I just sold some of my sets which included the following: 60097 City Square & 60098(which I actually still have as I was unsure about letting it go) and he wanted my 60022 Cargo Terminal but I talked him into the 7893 Airplane(my only opened set) so I can get Big Ben to go with my Tower Bridge and I'll put the Taj Mahal behind them! Plus the amount of new Technic sets I picked up on sale plus 15% off (The wife works for Target Headquarters) so I couldn't believe that I got a price match along with the discount, so for the 24 Hours Race Car (42039) cost a whopping $78.32!!! I have to get the matching truck now...$124.99 (plus 10% and 5% red card discount)....BTW I got $125 for City Square; $80 for 7893; and I have an offer of $125 for the heavy-haul train set, but I don't think that I'll accept it unless he comes up to $150(still less than I paid, and I made a small profit, but the best thing is I have the funds for either another modular or to go with the Palace Cinema or the 2 Technic sets wanted (Porsche and the Service Truck 42008) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerEyez Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) WhooHoo! Made my first sale today! A Ninjago Jay's Storm Fight and a Rattlecopter for $36.50. Hopefully he'll give me good feedback and I can get that ugly 0% off my store page. A CL guy was supposed to come by to get a TIE Adv Proto and look at my Ghost, Phantom, and IAC, but he never showed up. That $320 would've been nice.

Still, shows that even dog***** sets can turn a nice profit within 3 years if bought at the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the U.S. without a single holiday season going by its sitting at 40$ usd on amazon. I expected it to do much better in Europe.

Val-E Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The camper was available for 2 years whereas the holy trinity of Airport truck, logger and tow truck were 1 year and done. Also, the camper was widely available for half price here so the fact that it is going for 35-40 euros is not bad. It is outperforming the plough and car transporter.

I have high expectations regarding the car transporter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
