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"

Undercutting leads to more undercutting.  More undercutting leads to hate.  Hate leads to suffering.  Suffering leads to...I don't know where I'm going with this.

I sold the last of my FO generals. Days after its TRU debut.@Exciter1 said dump, so I dumped. Maybe a lot of people didn't know he was around? Bulk orders at $10 a piece, and a single for $12.
Also sold six TC-14s for $33 each.
TC-4 for $13
A few A wing pilots for $12 each
And 20x Cpt America Polys for $4.75 each.

Did you eBay it or go with BrickLink?

[donbee]

Mostly BL. I do both.

If this site still did badges like it used to, you would have earned the "Made profit on Exo Suits badge".

...and that is what keeps Lego investing so exciting and racey. Now your problem is how to invest that 40p. The agony of choice.

There was a "earn 6% ebay bucks on everything you sell promo" 2 weeks ago (or was it 4%, not sure). Might have been that?

I got the same in my overview just now, unfortunately not as much as you did by a few orders of magnitude.

Yeah sounds about right. (incase that looks like kingpin material, not a normal volume month for me.)

I was too busy to get much listed during the promotion but I did earn $57.  I would like to see more offers like this from eBay.  The "hot items" promo last Nov-Dec was also pretty solid.

Yes, though I think best for me are the seller fee waiver/caps. Keeps me more honest. The eBay Bucks feels like play money to blow. Even so I can resist, am looking for the best target to reinvest that.

my Amazon undercutting was "undercutting most of you", I rarely go for lowest price as it usually sells and money is left on the table

[donbee]

Yeah. I think under-cutting is primarily a newb mistake. I undercutted a lot when I first start selling on BL. But I soon realized that people were buying listings more expensive than mine, despite my low prices.
Undercutting can have its place in certain situations. But as a strategy, it's incredibly flawed.

For some that are inexperienced, what is the reasoning behind someone picking more expensive listings? Reasons I can think of

1. Feedback level

2 Shipping speed

3. Better looking pictures???

4. Better placement on Ebay's search list
