30x 60080 Spaceports for £1400 cash - £1060 proft (when Tesco mispriced them at £11.33 during 3-for-2).

500x assorted polybags for £400 cash - £350 profit (free from friend at WH Smith, but bought her dinner!)

That gives me space for another 20x 21309 Saturn V rockets - hmmm... do I crumble or stay strong? ;-)

One of these days I'll do a proper stock check as it's all in different locations.

Signed UCS Millennium Falcon 75192 package for £4000

Well done. Cash on collection? I'd be very nervous if it was eBay and a SNAD was opened.

Package? You mean Signed 75192 and trolley thingy?

I've finally managed to get one after all as my cousin got me one from Cardiff and kept quiet until now! I've not seen it yet.

1x mini VW camper polybag for £10 down the pub at lunchtime ;-) I've been too busy recently to get out and about.

I'm ashamed to say how much I paid for mine. Suffice to say, that man had a steal.

Sold my one and only 21109 Exo Suit for $28.00 + shipping today. Was surprised when I saw the invoice! Someone paid money for it!

Unfortunately this admits to you all that I bought an exo suit. In fairness, it put me over the free shipping threshold for an order, and I originally bought it for myself but never got around to building it. At least broke even with it. 

Took a year to sell at that price. Also sold a couple series 2-3 microfighters for a few buck profit a pop, less desirable ones.

I finally sold off the very first sets I purchased when I started this Lego investing thing 4 years ago, back when I had no idea what I was doing (well, I still don't lol):

2 Star Wars planet sets - $13 ea (paid $11.64 ea, but used a gift card I won, so free I guess?)

i sold 10 exo-suits for $42.99 in a week on amazon but yeah still a big loser.  i still have 30 left :( .  at least i bought them with the gift cards obtain during the legendary target weekend of buying $40 gift card for $30, then buying another $40 gift card for $30 with the previously purchased $40 gift card, rinse and repeat ad infinitum.  good times :)

Sold the last of my nine hulk busters that were picked up for £17 each on three for two offers last years. Average profit is about £20 each after fees and postage. Not bad for a theme that is supposed to be a dud in Europe.

Yup Hulkbuster and Avengers Tower have done well for me.  I think the only SH sets that ever sell in UK are Marvel based movie sets.

DC doesn't sell at all well and non movie marvel is a non starter too

Volume on the month, moved a few 

70734-1: Master Wu Dragon £40 / £17.5
70748-1: Titanium Dragon £40 / £17.5 
41077-1: Aira's Pegasus Sleigh £40 / £20 
76031-1: The Hulk Buster Smash £40 / £18 

This price range seems to be my bread and butter at the moment. 

Unloaded the last of my 41055-1: Cinderella's Romantic Castle £60 / £30 ahead of the new version.  And all of my 79017-1: The Battle of the Five Armies £60 / £30.   Leaving me with only 2*79018-1: The Lonely Mountain and 4*79015-1: Witch-King Battle from the lotr/hobbit themes.  Real shame, had expected so much more from them.

I think I just found my favourite buyer to date.

What do you look for in a buyer, lots of cash, high margin items, loads of repeat sales, no, better than that, one woman took all the junk sets :thumbsu:

€160 cash for the following:

Aaron Fox' Aero Striker V2

General Magmar's Siege Machine of Destruction

Clone Troopers vs Droidekas battle pack

Exo-Suit - whoop whoop

Droid Escape Pod

Spiderman: Ghost Rider team Up

 

About €70 profit, but who cares what the profit was, she took the crap off my hand.
