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...
Phil B Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Sold my last Iron Patriot on BL yesterday for $30. It had been sitting there for several months and only a few weeks ago I created an EBay listing for the same polybag and settled for a $25 rate w/ free shipping just to be competitive. Glad that one didn't sell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Had a bunch of the old Ninja theme listed recently. Was negotiating Best Offer prices over the weekend and settled on a deal yesterday. 3053 Emperor's Stronghold 6093 Flying Ninja Fortress 6089 Stone Tower Bridge 6088 Robber's Retreat 6088 Robber's Retreat - Missing baseplate Settled at $420 shipped. After fees and buy ins, I took home $199.70 profit. Then today sold a 4705 Snape's Class missing instructions. $60 shipped, similar profit margin to the above. It's been a surprisingly good July for me. Sure glad I didn't pull all my listings with the strike notice at the start of the month! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah about 100% profit after fees and postage. Did it BIN, strange really as most places have them back up for £80 but Amazon is £67 . . . Maybe they had a Ebay voucher or something, either way I'm not complaining. Edited July 29, 2016 by Manse1001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerEyez Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Had a pretty good weekend, for me. Probably best since I started a couple months ago. Sold a used Atlantis Neptune Carrier for $25 on BL, a new Batboat for $25 on BL (threw a couple of my WM clearance items up to see if I could get a little cash flow), and a new, opened Tumbler with a beat up box that I picked up a couple weeks ago for $300 ($175 buy-in). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stud-Flipper Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Sold the vehicle pieces to a 75103 First Order Transporter for $40(without the minifigs, they alone go for that much). Also, 9 loose Disney Minifigures in a lot for $30. These were my duplicates, and was just looking for enough money to buy the few I still need to complete my first set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure glad I didn't pull all my listings with the strike notice at the start of the month! sold a Aayla head gear for $29.99 from this lot (seller wanted $100, I bought it for $40, mostly nothing but had about 15 SW minifigures) thanks for the post, about to list most of those old Ninja sets, I have boxes and instructions, I would have listed too low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: Don't think the bus will hit $50, given that it's only a tiny set compared to GBH which barely managed $50 last year on Ebay, and that was with a lot of hype. You can prove me wrong of course in 5 months from now .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep that in mind. If you're keen to sell em quick, price around what I sold at. If you're happy to wait and aren't intent on selling as a lot (which I had sort of hoped for, panned out nicely) you could list higher still. Not particularly topic relevant, but that's one thing Lepin hasn't knocked off yet, is the generic themed sets from 15-20 years ago. If you have some, it might actually hold it's value over the next couple years, unlike some of those older modulars and UCS which are certain to take some sort of price hit due to the knock offs.

I sold at ~$40 without shipping and $55 with shipping at the peak of the hype on EBay last x-mas. I'm not convinced it's going to get there again, but keeping one just to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapilgrim Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yea they were all 90-95% complete, but I found most of the missing pieces and now almost all 100% with boxes. debating to rebuild for new pictures or add disclaimers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Mine were all thoroughly checked to be 100% including figures and accessories. Also maybe worth noting that my prices were in CAD. So perhaps your target prices were right in line with my own. The way it worked out for me, I took home in profit what the Brickfolio suggested the going rates were (which obviously dont factor in fees and shipping etc). Personally I spend the time to build and photograph. Certainly helps I think. I also take a nice macro of the figs and accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
