Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post 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

I'm noticing a slight increase in prices lately on a few of the sets I watch. I'm guessing many must have already their 25, and so now the undercutting and blowing out of some stock to make the cut is slowing down. November/December might turn out decent, although sales are still sluggish compared to last year this time. Quote

But winners like this are becoming scarce. So better to squeeze out the maximum profit. You'll never know when the next big winner will reveal itself. Quote

Sfcommando14 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 $23 each for Week 1 and 3 Bricktobers (4 total) on EBay $20-25 seems to be the going rate for these right now. I only got 2x of the Warriors and I'm keeping those for now (best one IMO). Going back today for more to continue the 20% off City/Superheroes plus promo. Quote

Nice to finally see that the people who said GBH's best days were already over when the QF period was done end of 2015 were probably wrong. I had a gut feeling right from the beginning that GBH might become something big, so I went in for nearly 30 of it last year, all by orders, none bought for money. 1 Quote
jaylay Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 For those outrageous FBA prices what's the fees or shipping costs. Real profit? Quote

And people call it "Feebay." Still, for the ease and higher prices, I can't beat FBA for a lot of sets. Quote

I'll bet the Werewolf and SW Advent FBA fees are lower than EBay/Paypal/shipping to most of the country AND I wouldn't get those prices on EBay right now. Probably comparable or a little higher for the First Class-eligible, but prices and volume are leaps and bounds higher. 1 Quote

Ok, Rip Van Winkle. I bet we get a remake before then just like with 7965. No way Lego leaves money on the table. 1 Quote
