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...

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. Probably both:). Nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Brick Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just got rid of about 30 of my 9516's. Got a good bulk offer price outside any of the veneus. Got them for $50 and solf then for $150 each. I will use this money to buy some faster growing sets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feed Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Pop star houses are moving here at £60/£65 and they are still reasonably easy to get hold of at £35/£40. Bundle with those cheap pop star tour bus, they’ll do well. Demand is there. Moved my first 76034: Batboat Harbour Pursuit last night at £40 2/3 days after listing. Buyin was £15 July last year. Stay away from small DC sets they said. Only got 8 though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different strokes for different folks I guess. There's quite some demand on FBA. I had mine sitting at $110 for a while, but FBM listings had the buy-box. Got fed up with the wait, moved them to $99.99 and sold 1 per day for 4 days straight, with the last one for $104.99 (still Buy Box).

Too bad I didn't get enough of these. With this fairground theme running along smoothly right now with Ferris Wheel and Carousel coming up, I think this could be a real winner when folks think they need the entire line. It's not as amazing to look at as the latter two, but it is a work of art in its own way with how it all packs up. Hopefully most overlooked it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Leveller Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I sold one for $150 FBA a couple days ago. Different platforms, different countries, different prices. But nicely done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a great buy from TRU and Walmart for $90 in December, though they didn't last long. I picked up mine then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post feed Posted May 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2017 Sold my last single 99c store Portal 2 dimensions set last night and just about out of dimensions altogether. Portal 2 buy in was an average of £4.34 per unit, shipped and taxed into the UK, sold most of them at £17 each. Had 225. I imported just under 400 dimensions all in, SD, JW, Homers and a few fun packs. Portal 2 was the real winner in both volume and pricing. I really should have gone in harder and my gut at the time said go in for more, but the risk at the time was 2 weeks to get them shipped from sunny Texas and 2 weeks to understand pricing and volume. So I held back. But still my eyes are wide open to the volume game now. Thanks to whomever it was who first posted about them. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
