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...
donbee Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 congratulations. its all about selection and buying correct set lot of people got burnt by villa savoy [ 21014 ] I got lucky and got my Villas late. So I got 60% on two in less than a year, but my buy in was fairly low. Kind of wish I got more at this point. Because of Villas and IH, I was hesitant to go to heavy in to Lincoln and White House, but since Lincoln is significantly cheaper, it was hard to pass up.

I hate those cheap boxes. I always had a feeling series 1 speed champions would do well ( first of an ongoing series, popular theme, stickered to death so no-one wants pre owned) Got quite a few stocked but tempted to hold a bit longer. Trevi is doing great in UK and selling for £70 unfortunately White House and Lincoln memorial not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaker Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Would you say these are your low months in Lego sales? This past month has been my worst since September. (Independantly of the 'All Lego sales are going down' speech). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This is traditionally the slow period of the year. That said, I did about $1k more in sales this past April than 2016. I attribute a lot of that to earning TRS status though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 End of April slowed some for me, compared from Feb and March, but I also pulled a lot of my loose brick out of my inventory as I've been shifting to selling primarily sealed sets. I also raised the prices on many of my sets as I felt more confident in what I was doing and didn't need to undercut so much to get a sale. But since May started my sales have increased again. At my new higher prices =) I'm still pretty new to this, been open just over a year now, But certainly having a higher feedback score helps, and I'm seeing more frequent customers buying from me in bulk. It's not clear if my new strategies are working or just my good customer service is driving the sales. Maybe a combo of both. I'm happy though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
