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
terrymc4677 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Just sold a sealed 4867 battle for hogwarts. $144.95 plus $12.95 shipping. One of the five I got for retail from Barnes & Noble when they listed some on their eBay store several months back. Look up the "Harry potter gold from barnes & noble" thread. 2 Quote

terrymc4677 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Holy moly! That's what I said when I saw the notification on my seller dashboard. I listed them high not expecting them to sell right now (because I really don't want to sell them...lol), but put them at a price I would be more than happy to accept. Funny thing is, I sold one last week at the same price but the buyer mistakingly thought it was a 4842, even though my descriptions and photos are clear as day. They just joined eBay and had zero feedback, so I happily refunded and thanked them anyway. 2 Quote

terrymc4677 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Sold my last two 6866 wolverine choppers today. I started with ten and sold them all in about a months time. I know some people think this one will continue to grow, but I'm glad to be done with them since the new wolverine set is coming out soon. I purchased them all from amazon for $12 and change. Sold them each at $63 shipped. Made about $30-$33 on each, depending on where they were shipped to. Great little set. Quote
Ciglione Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Well done. I have still 2 left. Should I sell them? Or wait? Quote
MarleyMoose Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Sold all 10 of my 21001 John Hancock sets I got the other day at TRU for $870.00 shipped free. Not bad for a $68.96 investment. I used the EBAY Global Shipping Program. A buyer from Germany with 2000+ feedback bought them all. Should I have anything to worry about? I'd hate to get burned. 2 Quote

There's always something to worry about. The buyer could open a "not as described" case. So have fun and be afraid. Be very afraid. Quote
terrymc4677 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Well done. I have still 2 left. Should I sell them? Or wait? Completely up to you. Some people think it may grow some more, but after holding onto my captain America avenging cycles too long, I didn't want to make the same mistake twice. If it grows more and I leave some profit on the table that's ok. I'm happy with the $300+ profit, and am ready to reinvest. Quote

No More Monkeys Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 It's official, people have too much money. Someone bought in a single order basic bricks #4628 (bought at $15 at walmart) and #5749 (bought for $50 shipped on eBay as an exercise in arbitrage). Total charged for #4628: $50.48 Total charged for #5749: $100.48 Shipping cost to me for entire order: $11.70 Sure, Amazon will charge me a bit more than eBay+paypal, but who would have bought from me on eBay at those prices? We probably still don't understand something about basic bricks after-EOL behavior... I always thought that 10c per piece is is the ceiling for basic bricks. but #5749 is just 650 pieces... Is there a blog post on BP analyzing basic bricks performance? Quote
jaisonline Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Going, going, gone! Home run Michael Jack Schmidt. The buyer paid for the MISB 10132 Motorized Hogwarts Express. I love empty space on my older shelving units since it means less bigger boxes stacked on the floor in front of them. Sent from an iPhone using the Brickpicker app 1 Quote

Legodog Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Sold an executron from 70803. $.99!!!!!!!! That guy just doesn't sell. I can barely give them away. I parted out 10x 70803 to sell the minifigs to cover the cost of the pieces I kept. Barely made my money back. Quote
