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...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 18 hours ago, Ciglione said: Not really a sale. I just broke even on my investments. All I have left in my inventory is now paid for by selling lego the last 3 years. I did the same 6 months ago. I sold most of my (bought way too early) hangers-on like... Tower Bridges Simpsons Houses (To NEVER buy again!) VW Campers F40s Mini Coopers Technic Unimogs LOTR Pirate Ambush Ships (not reached RRP yet - dire performer!) ... at an average of 10% above break-even to make space for better performers and proper bargains. However, I will re-buy some of these that are still available now that deals are better and the boxes are newer. By this time next year, I should've replaced all my old TBs and T1s with those in newer boxes. I no longer buy anything unless EOL is near or if it's a good quick flip. Everything I bought from Tesco, JL, George, Amazon, eBay & LEGO Shop at Home recently is either retiring or a cracking deal ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Finished clearing out my Raptor Escapes on ebay, started at $105 and sold 8 and then the next 4 @ $110.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) 10x 10240 Red5 for £2000 cash. Performance has been dreadful (peanuts after fees) for such a superb set and my money is better invested in other sets. This is one of the reasons why I now ignore UCS Star Wars as, if this is anything to go by, the Ewok Village and Sandcrawler will be total turkeys unless bought at a large discount which is unlikely. Or... held for 5-10 years! Edited November 26, 2016 by TabbyBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the peak selling window so I got rid before they dropped further, I only paid £99.99 for each one so already made 2x. There's just too many of these in the wild to compete so I'm cashing them in now. We're now in an era of superb retailer offers and that is where my funds are better spent. I have another 10x 10240 if things pick up in January. If not, I'll undercut everybody as they now owe me nothing. I've made a lot more money and saved a lot more time this year by shifting volume at a lower price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Yeah, wish ebay had the prices Amazon had, but locked out and never got around to selling on that platform. Not sure what the fee difference is, but I'm assuming you're way out ahead of ebay sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see this going above $30 after the widespread availability I don't think you can say "widespread" availability - we're talking about 20 or so per GameStop location, and not yet confirmed if there were any online. Depending on how long you want to hold this, it might come up again and settle somewhere between $20 and $25 - unlikely to hit $30-$35 again as it was before BF. That said - I went to a few different GS in my vicinity and got completely different outcomes: One gave me a *** without purchase (on BF), one had still 4 or 5 in a drawer on Saturday afternoon but required purchase of a LEGO dimensions set (I doubted about a $30 PS3 starter set but ultimately decided against it), and one said they were completely out. So there are still live ones out there - I'm going back to the one with the multiples in a couple of days to see if they have changed their minds on their policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
