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...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Sold 42039 (Technic 24 Hr Race Car) NISB for $199 (include ship), which I got locally for $60; also sold a Pair of Emmet & Lucy w/ tabs pushed in (my boy couldn't help himself) for $77 shipped; Used Toy Story Train set ($67 shipped); essentially broke even on that one, but had fun building and play w/ the boy. I want to thanks the folks here who have helped me navigate the murky re-seller waters...these recent sales have helped my wife change her tune a bit from "No more Legos ever, Ever, EVER!" to simply "No More Legos ever". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd push in the temples of somebody who pushed my tabby-tabs in - LOL. Well done on the 42039 as they've been a bit stubborn in the UK and I was lucky to offload at RRP.

Well done on the 42039 as they've been a bit stubborn in the UK and I was lucky to offload at RRP. The boy and I learned a valuable lesson so it was worth it in my book...and $77 ain't bad. Honestly I had never seen 42039 before until I saw it on CL a month ago...when I checked the price at $60, my jaw dropped and thought it was too good to be true...took a chance and after 3 subsequent meetings/deals...I ended up getting to know the AFOL seller a bit...nice guy who is simply looking to downsize...I intend to get some "like new" but used modulars he's looking to sell for $80 ea...I just can't decide on BB or Pet Shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickvoyeur Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I can tell you what I didn't sell today.... as I look to be the target of an attempted sting operation Listed hundreds of sets on Facebook from the last Walmart wave that I don't have a ton of confidence in for long term holds. Had a few buyers ding me about everything, but I wouldn't provide them the deal they wanted. Another potential buyer dinged me and seemed fine to take my asking price... like overly eager to get the items. After a bit of chit chat with him responding nearly instantaneously to each of my comments, I took a look at his profile. His occupation? Listed as "Detective" at the local police department. After reading that I messaged him that I can give him the physical receipts to the items so he can have them for tax purposes if he wanted them... in which he suddenly lost interest. I found it quite interesting. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 sold a lot of two Ford keychains, bumper sticker and two inikitty polys for $50 shipped (same coast); unless one values the unikitty and bumper sticker highly, my buy-in was essentially zero since I rec'd a dented box from LEGO Shop at Home which came w/ 2 key chains accidentally...when I opted to return and refund the set, the rep told me to keep the free gifts ? basically made the personal build set 33% off.

Does that mean you have 204 different accounts, so you dont do multiple sales of the same item as a "private seller"?

Huskers1236 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Sold my last Ewok Village the other day on BL. My days of selling Star Wars UCS are just about over. Have some Slave I and a couple TIE, and that's it. Unless they come out with something amazing and original, I don't see myself buying another one to hold. Cloud City was supposed to be that set, but the giant egg laid on that one was very disappointing. By the sounds of it, the next few will be more remakes, so more buying one and done by the looks of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got rid of most of my sets and somehow managed to get out with some profit. Just have 3 Tower Bridges and a 1 Slave one to get rid of. Also have a TH, GE, Ferris Wheel; a Helicarrier and a GBHQ to get rid of, but they were originally bought for personal build. Thereafter, I will have got rid of all of the large sets. Just small sets from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
