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"

Picked up a Minecraft Ocean Monument from Walmart on Tuesday for $30, sold last night for $80 plus shipping. 

[TigerEyez]

Sealed box of Series 18 for $240 on BL

[Quacs]

Series 3 Orange Mixel tribe for $50.

[LegoWalker4]

A used 4184 The Black Pearl, complete with instructions/no box on BL.  Invested $165.  Profit ~$123. 

The best part may be I bought it on CL, had it shipped and never left the house until I had to go the post office to ship it  back out.

[MarleyMoose]

You never checked to see if it was complete/nice?

LOL!  I always make sure each used set I sell is 100% complete and order the necessary parts when they are not.  What do you do?

[Guest TabbyBoy]

I never touch used sets, just perfect sealed ones, less to worry about ?

I think I read that wrong too, like the turnaround was so quick, you could slap a new label on what you just received. So, the actual best part is that you skipped work and never left the house for anything else.

Sold my first IST:

1 x 75094 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium for 119,90 euros + shipping (buy in 59 euros) 60 euros profit.

I made a penny on each of mine. Sod's Law says that these will be £100+ in 5yrs from now.

March 30, 2018. This is a date that will forever be remembered. I can get a little emotional at times. As an adult, there are a few instances when I've shed a tear. I cried when my son was born. I cried again a year later when my daughter was born. I cried tears of joy when my beloved Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 31 after three decades of mediocrity, and again when they won Super Bowl 45. The last time I cried was two years ago this April when my Mom passed away. 

March 30, 2018. Today is another day that I've sobbed like a baby. Upon waking up for work, I checked my phone like I always do. Waiting for me was a PayPal notification. A large one. I checked my Bricklink account, and it appears that some blessed soul has decided that they needed some Steam Rollers in their life. 

Yes, some Steam Rollers. All of them. 27 to be exact. Gone. Purchased by an unknown person. A risk taker. A gambler. A guardian angel, perhaps? I began this saga with over 50 of those Steam Rollers. I'd sell one here, one there through multiple platforms, slowly chipping away at that number. I whittled it down to 27. Now I have 0. They are gone. The purchase price was just a shade over $1k. I'll make a few bucks on each one after the usual fees and shipping, but that's not the point in this circumstance. The nightmare is finally over. 

March 30, 2018 is my Independance Day.

Ranging your tearful LEGO sale event on the same level as the family-related events mentioned at the beginning, seems a bit odd, especially making a comparison with the one that made you cry the last time two years ago...

Do you know what is actually odd, someone who constantly tries to push Duplo Ideas sets.

Oh for sure.  Hopefully I have sold these and invested the money a few times over in that time.

$25?

[brickvoyeur]

Unloaded 50 x 75119 Jyn Erso for $500 cash local. Got them at $1 each from Wal-Mart clearance. Had a post up on Craigslist for months and someone bit. I assume he's forwarding it somewhere....but once my cash marker verified the bills were real, it didn't matter if he's reselling it or grinding them up to snort. Down to just one.
 

I've donated more of these than I'd like to admit. Had a Salvation Army Santa tell me once "that is a cruel gift to give to children... go see if Krampus has a donation bin"

Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/132634714944?rmvSB=true

The least amount I will accept is $65. Does anyone else think that when you quote multiple people it messes up or is it just me?

Recent BrickLink sales:

Used 7623 Temple Escape with instructions – sold for $122, bought for $57.

Used 75919 Indominus rex Breakout with instructions –sold for $162.50, bought for $75.  

I separated this one into bags according to the instructions.  It was easier than I thought and it was not the pain in the butt I anticipated.  As I disassembled the set, I separated it into bags as I went along, numbered the bags and it allowed me to make sure all the pieces were there again.  Buyers appreciate this when I do it from the feedback I get.  I had already inventoried the pieces before I built the set.  

It was kind of like reverse engineering.

The buyer did not want the box for this last one.  If anybody needs a box for this set (has some wear), please let me know.  If you live in the Baltimore/Washington area, we can arrange to meet.
