Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowestFormOfWit Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Today marks the last sale of my first investment into LEGO. I started with finding 3 boxes of Queen Anne's Revenge for $39.99 a box. Sold the first for $200.00 after shipping, and the last two for $210.00 after shipping. Coming away with $620.00 with an initial investment of $130.00 or so with tax feels pretty good for my first three sales. I've already reinvested in more sets. This place is a great help. =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Brickowski Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Besides buying and building, this site is about selling, right? But when reading all the investment guides, tipps, discussions on "if" or "when" to buy, specualtion on rising value and a possible future appreciation, the whole thing sometimes feels a bit theoretical, while it is about (our) real money. So, to get a better idea of the actual monetary meaning of "flipping" and "investing" in the face of a real customer and real cases, I'd like to ask you to post here what set(s) you sold (where) recently and how big your profit was. Maybe also since when you had been stiing on the set before. To make the thread more readable, your posts could be standardized like this: - "Set name" ("Set number") - Profit made: ... - Sold at: ... - Date bought myself: ... - Price paid myself: ... Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adewar Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Everything I have been selling is stuff I bought one day and sold the next. 30110 - Harry Potter Trolley Polybag ($3) - $11.00 - Sold a few of these - consistently getting that price 30211 - Uruk Hai with Ballista ($4) - $6 - Sold a few of these, but demand has been weak 40028 - Mini Hogwarts Express ($4) - $8 - Sold a few of these - consistent price 7194 - UCS Yoda ($80) - $180 - Bought an incomplete one, made it complete and resold. Still have one which I will always keep Retired Friends Sets. I am skeptical of the investment potential of the Friends theme, but I couldn't resist flipping some retired sets that I found half off. 3935 - Stephanie's Pet Patrol ($5) - $15 - Sold a few of these, price is not consistent - none near the BP price of $20 3933 - Olivia's Invention Workshop ($5) - $12 - Selling in lots 3938 - Andrea's Bunny House ($5) - $12 - Selling in lots 3316 - Friends Advent Calendar ($22) - $48 - Well above the BP price of $38 Will soon be selling 10186 (used) and 10215 (used and new) - hope to just net what I paid on these.

akohns Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I had purchased a bulk tote of Lego from Craigslist a few weeks ago, when I finally got through it all I had 28lb lego - sold for $130 to a local bricklinker 96 minifigs - sold on ebay for $110 bunch of baseplates - sold on ebay for $50 Turned my $80 investment into $300 without a whole lot of effort, mainly sorting and cleaning and putting minifigs back together correctly. My son kept a couple printed pieces, and I kept a couple old Wild West Indians/Cavalry so we were all happy. I keep any Western theme anything. I frequently use spare mini-fig parts to make my own custom Western figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Sold a Queen Anne's Revenge/Black Pearl combo on ebay for $435. Had about $175 into it about a year ago when they were retiring. But that's not even where the big money is coming from. I have some used Mega Blok that I'm going to make a killing on at a garage sale, I see easily, $10-$20 being made on about 50 lbs of loose pieces. That's where it's at, folks, Mega Blok.

Huskers1236 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Where is blokpicker.com? It's a new website that I'm starting to rival this one. It's amazing. I show videos of the new models coming out. Don't tell anybody, though, but I glue them together before showing them off so they don't fall apart when I'm shooting. I will also serve as the moderator the section for the giant toddler bloks, those make a killing, even though they price out at several dollars per piece, no such rule as the $.10/piece ratio in Mega Blok, they are way too cool for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
