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

crayxlp Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Does anybody think that one of these two guys (bidding over each other, nothing much of a feedback) is really going to pay for that? I think its absurd (RRP 375 EUR). That car doesnt simply have a value of 2 Falcons bought at London midnight premiere and even signed by the LEGO creators. Quote

Maybe, there's only one way to find out Quote
crayxlp Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 well, yeah, you are right.. another "great mind" listed a new auction on ebay.fr with a buy now for 7000 EUR.. obviously hoping that could lure away one of these two.. Quote
calmdahn Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Yay, made my first ever sale through Bricklink! A RRP €30 Lego Elves set, bought for €20, sold for €75 including shipping (to Denmark).And I’m still over here listening to crickets when I ask them to open my storeSent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app 1 Quote

Afaik you don't need any approval to open a BL store, you just do it. Unless things changed in the last 2 years ... Quote

Unless things changed in the last 2 years ...Yes, things have changed. There’s now a seller verification step and nobody answers emails with queries as to status. I added inventory, set shipping rates, and (as far as I can tell according to the FAQ) met their requirements for new sellers but my store remains “closed” with no option to open it.

A colleague of mine at work would also like to start selling through Bricklink but has the same problem. I think the new rules are that you must get some positive feedback first (as a buyer) before you can start selling on Bricklink... That's annoying for new BL members who don't want to buy, just sell, but that's how it is now, as far as I know. 1 Quote

glostik Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Sold all of my arctic outposts no problem In fact I think I’m sold out of all my arctic sets. Had like twenty five total Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile appWhoa. That’s a pretty nice gate they have set up now. It definitely would’ve discouraged me if I had to do that with out BP here to advise me. But I like it. Makes me feel more legit as a seller. Maybe a little elitist, like those Amazonians It’s possible they have a quota of how many new sellers they want to give access to each month. This also explains why I used to get silly requests for small cheap orders. Glad I raised my minimum purchase a while back. That keeps most of them away now. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 500x assorted "newspaper give-away" polybags for £250, all profit ;-) Quote
Phil B Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I would have sold my one and only 75101 First Order Tie Fighter for $95 FBA today and cleared a nice 100% ROI .... if it wasn't for the fact that the buyer happened to be in my state and without a business selling account, I cannot have Amazon take care of the tax for me, so I have to pay tax myself. Ergo ... dropped down to 90% ROI. Bummer. 1 Quote

richiej1979 Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Belle's Castle £69.99, buy in £38. Not a massive profit after fees and postage but my first sale on eBay so I'm happy. I've increased the price for the other one now to gain a bit more more profit. 4 Quote

My 2nd ever sale on Ebay and again, more of a quick flip than investment but I'm happy. LEGO Super Heroes 76081: The Milano vs. The Abilisk Sold for £44.95, buy in £24. Maybe £12 profit after fees. 1 Quote
Cheese Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Got to start somewhere! Now it’s about increasing your turnover with quick flips to replenish your funds and reinvest that into more sets so that inventory and returns grow. 2 Quote

Captain_chaos Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Sold a 10259 Winter Village Station for £100 with £3 fee. Got it for £52.49 on LEGO Shop at Home, plus £3 cashback and VIP points. Shame only one of these actually came. It's a nice flip, though I've no idea why the price has risen so high; it's guaranteed to come back later in the year. 1 Quote

I think it's because many think it has retired for good (even though it has 2 more winters to go). Thankfully they don't know how to shop around lol: https://www.johnlewis.com/lego-creator-10259-winter-village-station/p3389530 Edited January 31, 2018 by John82 Quote
