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...
legodelorean Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Sold a City Camper Van for $36 and a lot of 5 C3po polybags for $38 via eBay, and the Batman Joker Steamroller for $42 via CL. Sales have picked up a bit since starting to list on eBay. CL is slow as usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Needed to clear up some space so I decided to sell 9 of my 10 41055 Cinderella's Romantic Castle sets that were purchased in Summer 2014. Like some of us, I thought it was going to be a nice 2014 XMAS flip (like the Dolphin Cruiser in 2013). Boy, was I wrong. Ended up losing $10-$13 each set after seller fees but I feel so much better with them gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 30x Star Wars Advent Calendars for £15 each cash 30x Friends Advent Calendars for £12 each cash These are the ones that Boots said I could keep after them leaving them out in the rain. In fact, there was no damage at all to the sets once they were dry so I just decided to offload them in one hit. A couple had loose seals but, this wasn't a problem to the buyer. Buy-in was £0.00 ;-) I gave the buyer about a dozen assorted polybags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salimr Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Sold a Maersk ship 10241 $254 with free shipping which cost me $9.50. This set went up right after retirement then just sat around $250 for 8 months from what I saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really get any proper weather in the UK, it's just the boring and impatient people in the UK that make it feel miserable. I've just come back from a long weekend in Iceland and I've never met such a happy bunch even though it's very expensive, wasn't light until 09:40 and dark again at 16:45. Weather to me is 40C and clear in Summer and -30C with lots of snow and ice storms in Winter. I really miss my Expat stint in Novosibirsk, Siberia. BTW... I saw WALL-E in a Toy Shop in Reykjavik for ISK 12,500 which is nearly £100 and was already on offer! To be honest my main complaint is that, I really really really hate Christmas as it's just a festival of drunkeness, greed, family arguments, panic and stress. I'd move it to 29FEB if I could and even once every 4 years is still too frequent for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I dropped off my last remaining polybags at the 2 primary schools in my area. Just gave them away as sick of them hanging around. Since the Daily Mail promo is no more, I needn't bother picking any more up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Another weird one. I have had 3 Brick Bountys on my Amazon site for months. Then in a 4 hour period on Friday night each of them sold to completely different buyers for $230 CDN each. This is great news, but I usually would increase the price a little after each sale and I didn't have time to do that with this blitz of activity. In to each life a little rain must fall. Was there some development in the pirating world I should be aware of? Seemed very odd to me. Edited November 14, 2016 by jeff_14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was finishing packing the first one, a second one sold. I was at least able to raise the price of a third one before it sold the next morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinifigW Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) All sold on BL. I was going to expand to Amazon, but then the gating thing happened. Sales and views have gone up drastically though, I guess that it helps that I'm seem to be a mass discounter (most of the sets I have I got for 50-80% off, which makes 15-40% off sale prices profitable for me) Past four days. Buyers paid shipping x 9 Reindeer polybags $5.48 each (buy in $2.01) x2 Volcano Jackhammer polybags $5.48 each (buy in $4.20) x3 Lego city space shuttle $16.98 (buy in $10) x50 assorted polybags to NZ $149 (buy in $60ish) x2 Bionicle $7.98 (buy in $4) x6 Skull slicer $6 (clearance price, buy in $4.21) It's not that I don't hold sets, I have a ever expanding stockroom of log time holds, but semi- quick flips allow me to invest more capital back into eventual higher profit items.

donbee Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Flipped that old Sleeping Beauty I found at BAM for $25, buy in $10. Seems to be a popular gift this season. I think I have one more I was going to save for my daughter, but she doesn't seemed to be interested in her. I'll see if I can get $30 for my last one =) Oh and sold a Villa S I got from BAM too, for $82. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struck out on the Town Square and saw a line that wrapped around the entire store for 3 registers. Got the hell out of there as fast as I could. I'm still sitting on 1 60026, will probably build at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices usually run throughout the weekend and they bring stuff out of the back and short lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
