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...

Slowly but surely, slowly but surely. 4429 has had a nice slow increase, I sold one last month for $90 cash (USD). Sold my last Minecraft Mine for $167 shipped.

donbee Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sold a Krypto Poly and an Olaf poly for $4.99 each on BL. Woohoo! Also sold a Zane minifig out of the Dimensions pack for $5.25, and an Emmet disc for $3. I got lucky on that one. Hadnt change the price since the Dimm Miners from the West Coast flooded the market with cheap discs and minifigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I've had a pretty decent week. Either people are getting their refunds back and blowing it on overpriced lego sets, or everyone was super inspired by donald trumps speech. Regardless, sold RE & Gallimimus Trap lot for 164, a Rebel Snowspeeder for 65, the Tears of Batman poly for 19, another At-At for 320 (stock getting thinner on this one), a Villa Savoye for 90, ISD For 292, and a White house that I just picked up for 35 for 79. Also, since i'm gated from selling Star Wars figures on amazon, I hesitantly decided to step back to the dungeon called ebay, and list a lot of figures I had extras from buying cases of various force awakens waves. Man, what a serious cluster of laughable offers from dregs that have no concept of the term appreciating collectible..

"Can you do half of your listed price?" "Can you deliver these to my house?" "This was only $15 on sale at TRU". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"These were $30 on Black Friday" and an argument commences that I wasn't even a part of, since these folks couldn't buy them anymore, others saying it was fair, etc. Ended up not selling any there either. This was after Black Friday 2015. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have turned it on after I responded to the 4th laughable lowball offer, but I thought it would be good to at least hear a few offers, because I figured some would at least be reasonable. But, that has tuned out to not be the case. The entire futile effort has made me realize why I am glad i'm gated behind Amazon. If I had to return to ebay, i'd be out of trying to resell anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 1x 10221 SSD for £450 cash to a BP member. I opened a dented box to build it but, I'm just not going to have the time... or the space! Still over £200 profit so I'm well happy. 2 to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randrace Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Set 850425 was the first set I bought as an investment when it was on sale for around $8. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, and thought I had made a rookie mistake. Boy was I wrong. I've made more money parting out this set than anything else I've purchased. I finally sold my last pieces today: Seven 2x2 tiles for $25 shipped on Brick Owl. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerEyez Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Used 8088 ARC-170 for $60. Part of a large lot I bought from a teenager for $200 early last year. I'm well into the profit after selling off about 75% of it. Mostly large Ninjago sets left: Destiny, Epic, and Garmadon Fortress and then a couple Alien Conquest that I haven't checked for completeness yet. I did have to put about $200 in parts, as almost every set was missing some pieces including some pretty expensive figures, like Skales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerEyez Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 So I just returned this afternoon from a 10 day business trip. When I left I put all my BL inventory in the "stockroom", except a Super Lot of The Ghost & The Phantom that stayed up for some reason. During the ten days I received 3 shipping quote requests: Canada, Findland, and Washington, after having no previous interest except people trying to get me to sell just the Phantom. Well upon returning today I got the formal quotes out and Canada snatched it up. I think this is my first quote request that actually got accepted. $200 plus shipping for the pair. Been a good day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I sold a YS for $58 on BL that I picked up for $35 a good week before release, hoping to QF like a LL before Christmas. But we know how that ended up... I'm happy to get rid of it. It's going to a happy home, someone who will appreciate it. I still have one more I'll hold on to for the next 6 years I guess.

Boy, when I got to not lego investing in 2012, I had high hopes for this set. Regardless of the investment aspect, it's still a pretty cool set for kids.

t12ung Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) I've got some family in the CA, USA right now and and thinking of asking to bring me back something as an opportunity to get some good deal that's cheaper across the ocean... Anyone suggest what would be a good investment for UK market to get from USA right now? Also, anyone know what the deal is with sales tax. I know in some situations, foreign visitors are exempt or can claim back/tax free on purchases - what would apply in this situation? EDIT: Thinking of getting 70751 - Temple of Airjitzu that's on sale from SAH $160 ($190). That's an equivalent of £130. Good idea?
