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"

I still have over 50 of those, but I haven't tried to sell any yet. I'm waiting for it to completely disappear from retail. I haven't even really been looking to see how it's doing yet. I have faith in Rey. She won't let me down, and at a $10 buy in my concern isn't at Steam Roller level...yet.

You should really put your faith to the test by getting some Rey buildables.

Now that's just crazy talk!

Most excellent. Terry.
You give the rest of us hope with our 30+ Exo-Suits. 

If anyone is around Chicago/Milwaukee with an Exo Suit, Id be willing to buy/ trade for one of my sealed retired sets. Just started to feel some type of way over lego mechs

Ha! That is one set that luckily I never bought into the hype on. I only bought two of those. I gave one to my son and I sold the other one for cost on craigslist. Dodged a bullet there.

I've tried to sell exo-suits a couple times here locally on CL and they won't even move at $25.  Luckily only have 4 but a complete POS.  Only mech I have ever bought and will be the only one.

Another one bites the dust. I can be patient for the rest of you to give up on them too.

Nice. Wall-E is selling consistently for around €90 cash now on Marktplaats in The Netherlands. IST is still struggling to sell above €90 cash though.

Yesterday I sold the last of my six Death Stars on eBay. Profited $240-250 each after fees and shipping.

[feed]

Just sold the last of my Megabloks COD tanks I picked up a couple of years ago at £15 each, bundled with a couple of figs sold at £50.  

Also finished selling off my DC girls, buy in for most was at 50% and I’ve been doing bundles at around retail.  Last bundle of 41234, 41235, 41231, 41233 sold at £60 buy in £32.  Wish I bought more.  All gone in 9 months at prices roughly double my buy in, with negligible fees.   

Continuing to kick out my £20 75902: The Mystery Machine with 2 series 14 figs for £55.  Slower mover with the figs than without, but it’s a better margin and I’m almost out of MM’s (8 or 9 left) 

Same for 75052: Mos Eisley Cantina + Droid combos at between £100 - £110, buy in £50.  Almost out of these too.  
75112-1: General Grievous + 75111-1: Darth Vader combos at retail (£50) buy in £25.  I think these will go higher, but I have so many I need to re-balance 

Couple of 41179-1: Queen Dragon's Rescue at £90, buy in £36 
and a couple of 70593: The Green NRG Dragon £50 – buyin £20

And I finished moving my £70 75105-1: Millennium Falcon – for between £125-£130.  

All ebay, inclusive of shipping.  
Pricing is probably a little lower than expected but ebay fees have been pretty much none existent recently. 
I paid £38 fees for £3,700 sales in March, so I’m just moving the stock.

Sold a 70732 City of Stiix for €125 cash (buy-in was €80). Had hoped for a bit more demand, but 56% profit is still worth it.  

[Huskers1236]

Sold my Minifigure Factory and Darth Vader Pod on Bricklink.  $35 back from a $90 order.  Not bad.  

[exciter1]

FBA

3185 - Friends: Summer Riding Camp - $380

[waddamon]

Dang I sold those friends camps too early.

How are you only paying 1% for ebay fees? is that like a UK promotion or something?

By not declaring himself as a business and therefore taking advantage of offers only available to personal customers.

UK ebay have been throwing out £1 and £3 fixed final fee promo offers since the New Year.  I don’t get all of them, but it’s really just a case of gaming the system a little to list high priced items during the offers and low turnover items during the normal 10%.  They tend to do it Q1 every year, they dry up during the summer months.

eBay's FVF offer are to be treated with caution as you're often invited along with many thousands of other sellers at the same time. There's often a race to the bottom and, after looking through my pre-business account history, I made more money outside of these offers. I know we all baulk at eBay's fees, but it's nothing like the overheads of running a real business as I'm beginning to find out now. You'll pay more in Income Tax than eBay fees anyway, or... you certainly should be!

Under HMRC rules, you don't have to be a Business Seller on eBay, but they are targeting Private Sellers for tax evasion. Competitors can grass you up too ?

If you sell a set at 3x buy-in, you'll still double your money after expenses.

Yup, you never know how many of us have contacted ebay about your account.
