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
siulon Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 how do you guys price your set, say... at ebay? do you try to be competitive and try to be the cheapest? or maybe 3rd cheapest or something alone that line? sometimes, I find that I'd price it at X bucks, and I am on the 10th, but if I price it at like 2 cents lower, all of a sudden I am the cheapest Quote

I'm also big on under cutting people. if I want to be the lowest I'll drop my price by .05 of the lowest price. nothing bugs me more than someone under cutting me by $5+ as the next guy will do the same and then there goes the value Quote

I'll go ahead and list the item at that price and then leave it until it sells. Sometimes it's 2 minutes, 2 weeks, and sometimes it's 2 years. 3 Quote

jaisonline Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Maersk Train, $260 shipped. Not bad for 1 year. was it sealed? Quote
exciter1 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Maersk Train, $260 shipped. Not bad for 1 year. I wish I would have bought 10 of them when they were around $100. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 was it sealed? Yeah, had it at $270 and it sat there for some time. I wish I would have bought 10 of them when they were around $100. Me too, but I was just getting started when I got this, didn't know they were so collectible. Won't make the same mistake with the ship. Looks like I was able to move my last PotC set as well today, A Whitecap Bay for $85. Glad that one is gone. Quote
redghostx Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 4981 - Chum Bucket along with 9 other sets. I took about 20% less to get them out and clear space. Happy that my Cafe Corner CL lot now has me in the black. $90 in my pocket plus a Cool Convertible (4993), Cafe Corner and Batmobile set (7781) to keep and 6 sets to sell later this summer for about 150-200 after fees. 2 Quote
MarleyMoose Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Sold a POTC 4193 London Escape for $48.99+ shipping to a lady in Canada through Ebay GSP. After all the extra charges she paid $94.04. I have 1 left and 2 Whitecap Bays left. After they're gone I'll dig out the smaller POTC and unload them and be done with the theme. Lesson learned.... Quote
siulon Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 a spider glider polybag (haven't done the math, but i may break even or at a loss for this set), and the goblin king battle (this set has almost doubled) Quote
Legodog Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Sold a SSD for $650. Picked it up for $320 a couple months ago. Buyer has 0 feedback and just signed up on eBay yesterday. Should I be worried? Quote
MarleyMoose Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I've had good luck with "0" feedback buyers. knock on wood... Quote
jaisonline Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Sold my last 7962. yah! i was so happy to sell my 2 units even at a slight loss. The space it occupied on my shelve was well worth the small loss. I slid 10220 sets in it's place Quote
exciter1 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 i was so happy to sell my 2 units even at a slight loss. The space it occupied on my shelve was well worth the small loss. I slid 10220 sets in it's place I was happy to get rid of mine as well. I sold both of them for $80 each, so I squeaked out a profit, since my buy-in was only $35 each. Quote

Migration Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Over the last week I've sold almost 50 pounds of random bulk broken into 5-10 pound lots. 1 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Over the last week I've sold almost 50 pounds of random bulk broken into 5-10 pound lots. I'm just about to start tackling this. I've got more and more bulk sitting in my garage that I need to start getting rid of. Are you breaking it down by color as well? Quote
