What Lego set did you sell today and for how much?

[brickvoyeur]

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"

Sold a complete jurrassic world theme for 760..  Still have a few complete sets of this theme left..and i'm going to keep them for the long haul now.  This theme has gone nowhere but up over the last year.  Pretty have made all my money back by only selling out half my stock.

Just curious, are you including the polybag as well?

Sold a 41095 Emma's House for €51 cash (buy-in was €25, slightly damaged box). It will be a Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) present, the buyer told me.  

Sold a 70173 Ocean's HQ for €181 cash (buy-in was €116). Might be super rare in Europe, but it's taking up space and the demand is also very low. Glad to be rid of it.

Nice. Sold prices seem to be all over the place.

Can i ask for some guidance please?

have a buyer for a high value set (ISD), i've agreed a very good price (mid to upper end of current value range).

buyer wants to pay me (UK based) by IBAN bank transfer from Italy.

Clearly PayPal is a no-no for me as seller and the buyer is happy to pay by bank wire transfer. But does anyone see any problems / worries about receiving a bank transfer?  

(First sale of such high value for so want to make sure i get this right)

thanks

Best method for seller as you can´t get a chargeback. Only thing to clarify is with HMRC where the money came from and why. Also make sure buyer pays you the net amount in GBP from their end so you don´t get stung with commissions.

thanks Val-e much appreciated

is commission usually a flat fee?

Depends on your bank. If the money comes in in GBP then you should be fine. Ask the buyer to pay the agreed price in GBP and you´ll also avoid exchange rate risk.

[andyposterfan]

Got it.

are there any change back or recall risks?

im planning on waiting one clear day after cleared funds

Yeah, they can still recall the money same working day they paid so better to wait till next day. What platform are you selling on? Ebay would struggle to CB you unless they tried to take it from your paypal account, if linked to your ebay account. Has that ever happened to anyone?

Solution to that would be leave the account at almost 0 and remove any bank or credit cards linked. DOubt that would happen, though. You´d need enough to leave enough money to pay your commissions.

Welcome. 0.1% risk then.

Now you should really post the sale price to stay on topic!

[andyposterfan]

Of course, sorry!

£1,275

Cool, you can get a VIP card for a Falcon with the profits and still have change for a dozen Nexo sets.

IH seems to be picking up speed, finally.  In a year´s time people will be paying good money for it to make the full set of Lloyd Wright series.

Send that mojo to US eBay. Anything over 1 a week would qualify as picking up speed. I'm getting impatient for it to achieve Fallingwater like prices.

I wish I had bought tons of these garbage trucks from Target last Christmas, but there was so much else to buy I only grabbed a handful.

Just sold a 75192 UCS MF for $1400 on a CL sale. I really wanted to build this, but figured it was worth posting at $1,500 and seeing if anyone bites. It wasn't up less than 24 hours. I can wait for my own.

Just sold a 9678 Twin-pod Cloud Car & Bespin on eBay for $10.88 free shipping! Bought 2-1/2 years ago on clearance for $2.88... after fees and shipping, almost doubled my money... woo hoo!
