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...

Alpinemaps Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Snow Globe will probably be available to VIPs tonight for the weekend (along with 2x points). Maybe preorders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 There is such a thing as presales on eBay. It's great for LEGO promos. I have made better money selling a few days ahead of time rather than waiting until everyone has them in hand. Having said that there is a fulfillment risk and the Gingerbread House prices actually climbed after it was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ueseven Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I sold three 30474 Reindeer for $7 each, two buyers. Of course, eBay fees and such later only turned about $4.50 profit, but still. Paid for my singular Reindeer I kept as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenner Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 10 minutes ago, TigerG said: Do you need space/money or why are you selling so cheap? 40138 is offered between 25 and 35 E so glad I could sell for 35E. Simpsons Level Pack, is offered for 18E at local retail, just wanted to get rid of it. 60124 is offered at local shops for 70E so not more margin in my selling region. 75919...you are correct, I could have waited for a better price but my attic is getting pretty full. I made extra storage space but every single spot is used. But my biggest learning curve is I should have followed my gut feeling and not only buying 1 box of this set. And I need to gain selling experience so this might be a learning curve as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerG Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 No matter how crowded your attic is - I'm pretty sure there are other sets in there that you should have let go instead of IR for 160 incl. shipping especially with a buy in of 119. I sold some last year for more than that and at that time they were still available everywhere and my buy in was only 80 Euros. Do you sell on ebay or only locally?

I think you guys are giving him/her a bit of a hard time over all of them except IR. That was a dumb move as that set will only climb as xmas approaches. Throw out anything else from your attic but that set! The xmas freebie for 35 cash is good money and the others are either turds or too new to be able to do anything but quick flip or hold for a year or two for marginal gains.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 100x 41106 Friends Pop Star Tour Bus for £1800 cash - £1000 profit. (Hope to shift another 100 next weekend!) 10x 60124 Volcano Exploration for £450 cash - £260 profit. 5x 4204 The Mine for £320 cash - £160 profit. I know I could get more but, it saves a lot of work compared to listing/boxing/shipping and FRIENDS has been a dire performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
