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...

biniou Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Sold 3 lone rangers sets (don't remember numbers: comanche camp, saloon and stagecoach) and a Dino HQ 5887. Made a little money on lone rangers (happy with that) and little mondey too on Dino HQ (not happy at all, far less people seem interested by this theme in europe).

I believe the market in Europe is more difficult than the US. I am happy at least you sold something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Are you leaving the game weakside? No...I hope not It's just one of those sets that seems to be setting a long time with no interest...or so it seems. We all have sets we don't like or duds and I'll gladly replace the space with another set with greater appreciation potential or sets I personally like more. Still made good net return...purchasing for under 50% off retail helps. *oh, when I said 'one set left in my inventory'...I meant ONE left of this specific set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I sold another 8096 Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle today. It was my last. I am still wondering if I should have kept this last one for a while longer to see where it would have gone too value wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weakside Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Captain Am Avenging Cycle $30 cash local deal. 2x The Empire Strikes Out dvd/combo with darth vader minifig. I sold another 8096 Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle today. It was my last. I am still wondering if I should have kept this last one for a while longer to see where it would have gone too value wise. There's a few nice minifigs in the set...I still have one left and can still buy more at retail even if retired a couple of yrs ago. Yeah, if you made decent enough margin than be happy. Can't really see the set sky rocketing later but who knows. Craigslist 2 4x4 Crawler II Ltd Edition for $325 each (cost me $250 each) Total profit $220 Nice flips on the Crawlers. I'm still holding some and would like to see some fund back haha. Just holding out for right buyers at the $350 range. Hope collectors/fan don't forget about this set...trying to practice patience, no more $400-$500 cash deals on this that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy other 3 of the 8096's for 50 euro each. But the boxes are pretty beat up and I do not trust to sell them like that at ebay. Tonight I will go back to the shop and try to negotiate a nice extra discount cause nobody buys them. They are there for 2 months already. If it works out I will buy them and maybe part them out.

Good idea if you can get a bigger discount to help them clear it out. In CAN anyways, they were selling for $40's range on clearance ($79.99 CAN regular). I don't part out sets myself or buy 'beat up boxes' but if you look online those minifigs go for decent prices last time I looked. More effort but selling the minifig themselves can pay for the set...you keep the Lego pieces for your kid(s) or sell those too. Might be one of those sets that is worth more separated and flipped quicker than sold NISB if you can get it cheap enough. The build/set look doesn't appeal to me at all but I guess the minifigs carries the set. Fact that it's still around means too much production and/or demand not there (obviously).

As do I. However I have 8 of these and so I consider this a hedge in case I'm wrong. I made $150 off these 2 sets in the space of 5 months (plus the free christmas gift sets I got with each purchase) so I'll take a little profit now and hold the remainder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 More proof there sometimes isn't rhyme or reason to this. I just posted less than a 1/2 hour ago about picking up some clearance Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas (75000) for $5 each at Wal-Mart in the "Buy" thread. I listed some at $16.95 as a placeholder for a possible future price point. One sold already! I do think this has the potential to be a great battle pack for resale. 2 clone troopers (one a sergeant), 2 droidekas, and a very nice mini-build with some quality pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I sold a minifig last night with free shipping. However, the buyer did not pay yet. Do I need to send the minifig first or does he/she have to pay first? Is my first time selling something with free shipping. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks Stephen, But do I need to print the shipping label or wait for that also? Can I cancel the purchase if he does not pay or does not pay in time? Ebay should remind him to pay or don't they do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
