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...

Doesn't matter to me because they can't take it back and sometimes add a few for delivery. Some buyers don't want to go to to bank or handle cash; it's nice to give them options to relieve them of their money. Cash, Cash App, Venmo, Paypal (ebay only), Zelle. I don't care I take them all. I prefer Zelle because its guaranteed funds in my bank account, Venmo and Cash App, there is a small chance of getting defrauded but its really less than leaving the set on your porch and trusting the buyer to put the cash under the mat.

Just learned about Zelle a few weeks ago, when I had a repeat buyer want to drop some cash on me for some UCS sets. I was amazed to see the deposit show up in my checking account moments after he sent it. Certainly good enough for me to hand them over for an in person transaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMuscle Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 appreciate all the insight and thoughts around this. i just get nervous, even using F&F. Has anyone encountered a bogus account? or they have it linked to a bad credit card? what about asking for payment to clear first? (think this is a day or two turnaround) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said you need to complete this transaction. If driving 30 mins each way and doing this through Paypal makes you uncomfortable, just tell the prospective buyer that you won't do it. There will be another customer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelle was developed by the tier 1 banks as a faster payment method, it's immediate guaranteed funds if your bank participates.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I sold a 10243 Parisian Restaurant today on BL for $238 + S&H. Buy-in was $99. Need that money to roll in and keep the wife happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Sold a Palace Cinema (open box, sealed bags) - the seals had stretched so I just opened it up lest anyone think it had been tampered with. Buy in $95, sold for $305 + shipping. My best was a lot of sealed bags I purchased for $20 ended up being a Brick Bank + one extra sealed bag for a Ninjago Movie Strider set. I purchased a new instructions + I had a new tan base plate ($5). So for roughly $30 invested I sold it new, sealed bags, no box for $345 + shipping. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Now that the new AT-AT is coming out this fall I decided to sell my sealed 75054. I was planning on eventually building it but I couldn't pass up selling it for $325 on ebay, especially since I paid for it using TRU rewards back in 2015. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toni8284 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 got 6 71043 from LEGO store last week for curbside pickup. Paid $400 each. Sold them all on eBay within 48 hours range from $619 to $629 each before fees. So after fee and free shipping, I net around $100 each for quick flip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
