Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post 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

TANV Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Recently, just some small fries: 30611 R2-D2 Poly x 2 @ $18 via BL 853651 Gotham City Police Pack x 2 @ $20 via eBay (These surprisingly sell.) 1 Quote
Sprocket77 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I must admit I love LEGO Shop at Home with their beautiful promos, lovely VIP points and stupidly great shipping policies. In the last few days I sold 3 buildable R2-D2s for €20 cash each and a London Bus/VW Mini Beetle for €45 cash. Love you LEGO Shop at Home 3 Quote
Pako Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Sold my first big box : 1 x 75059 STAR WARS SANDCRAWLER for 379 euros + shipping. 100 euros profit I am ok with that, could have waited more but it is a bit of a pain with big boxes (room/shipping...) so from now I'll just stick to small ish lego boxes. 2 1 Quote
donbee Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 May ended up being a very slow month on BL, though I had a few large orders that made the month overall very profitable. I blame all the clearance for the slow down. This month, I've already matched sales. Even though I raised my minimum order to $15. Common theme, kids stuff. Here's some things to take note of:70787 Tahu $2041055 Cindy castle $7070784 Lewa $1375110 skywalker $1541116 explor car $1421117 ender dragon $ 65 (really wasn't expecting this. I passed so many at 50% off.)75109 obi wan $1621124 end portal $5575916 Dil Am $4041015 dolphin $7510721 iM v Loki $1210542 sleeping beauty $3775134 GE BP $15Cpt hook $6Tartan BM $7.5070366 BS Lance $9 4 Quote
HandyHand Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Sold my last 75054 AT-AT last night for €210 cash. Exactly double my buy-in when I bought these just after I came out of my Lego Dark Ages late 2015. At that time I just couldn't fathom how people would some day be paying a large premium over a set that was available in every toy store selling LEGO sets, and regularly sold at good discount as well! Speaking from hindsight: I should have bought a lot more of this set! 3 Quote
mauro23 Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Sold about 20 Mars Rovers via Ebay auction last two months... Price was around 120 Euro after fees. But since the Saturn V has appeared the price is around 150 after fees. Now I have only 10 left, but will keep them until reaching 200 Euro... 1 Quote
Popular Post jaisonline Posted June 14, 2017 Popular Post Posted June 14, 2017 Bittersweet sale last week. Sold my used 10179 for two bills. After fees, profit is $400. So basically, I was paid $400 to build and display the set for a nice amount of time. It Probably would have fetched closer to $2,800 if sold near the release of The Force Awakens. Some pics... 16 Quote
glostik Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Something must be in the water today - didn't sell anything for two weeks and then sold almost 2k worth today 2 Quote

Bynkis Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Sold: Mobile Crane Mk II 42009 for 220€ + shipping. 77€ profit. (Damaged box) 2x Imperial Star Destroyer 75055 for 2x205€ + shipping.

Now I've gotten 3 separate BL orders in the past 24 hours. Keep it coming!Yeah, I raised my minimum to $15 because I was getting tired of pulling lots of little pieces, but I've still received like 7 orders this week. Fortunately the largest is only 33 count. I received two more in the last hour. Kids are bored this summer, glad they're turning to Lego. Could be all the STEM/STEAM camps that use Lego. 1 Quote
redghostx Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Apollo for $220 shipped and it was listed for 10 minutes and definitely not the lowest price on eBay. Under the what did I buy today? Two more Apollos from Amazon, including one to build. 1 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 I, too, had a banner week on BL. I hope we aren't all getting scammed by the same three or four people. Lol 3 Quote
donbee Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 I, too, had a banner week on BL. I hope we aren't all getting scammed by the same three or four people. LolI have received several 0 and single digit feedback orders, but that's not new. What is interesting, is that in our communications it's revealed that it's the mom who placed the order, but the child who is paying for it with their own money. Sounds familiar from eBay. I hope those low life's haven't found a new nest to scavenge. Quote

I hope those low life's haven't found a new nest to scavenge. Luckily, all of my orders were coming from folks with lots of feedback, I negatives, and a history of paying quickly on big orders. One thing I enjoy about selling on BL is the chance for some extra communication between buyer and seller. Whether generated through the quote process or invoicing. Usually it's to complain about shipping costs, lol. But it all works out in the end. 1 Quote
Fenix_2k1 Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Can't really explain why but I too placed my first brick link orders last week. Very bizarre that I have inadvertently joined an apparent trend. Do sellers start picking as soon as they raise an invoice? I did have one order that I was reconsidering due to PayPal, handling and shipping costs that almost doubled the cost of a lot but didn't want to start out with negative feedback. Quote
