What Lego set did you sell today and for how much?

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"

very good job on the Toads ... I still have the ones I bought.  Didnt know they went up that high already.  Good news for the whole line as each set has that potential.

Yeah, those Stephanie Soccer Practice mini sets ... whole bunch of them for clearance when my walmart closed ...

So, I'm not one to complain when I double my money (which I did on Stephanie's Soccer Practice)....but making $10 on them, in hindsight, hurts.

Good idea to sell 75153 with a OT one coming out next year.

Sold brand new Pet Shop for $255. Met in person, no fees etc. It's great when you don't have to package the set

The Toy Shop is still climbing too, after all that remake talk.

Sold a train this week for $340

[maestro]

My biggest ever sales today. Within an hour or two I sold the following:

The Tumbler $348 on eBay

VW T1 Camper Van $185 on eBay

Detective's Office $383 (not eBay, no fees)

Parisian Restaurant $313 (not eBay, no fees)

Winter Village Cottage $313  (not eBay, no fees)

 

All originally bought from Lego Online and in perfect condition. 

 

I might just call 13th October my own Reseller Day. The Tumbler and VW sold the same day they were listed on Buy It Now.

Not sure where to post this - More of a general question: I got my first sale on Bricklink, sent the invoice, and three says later sent a follow-up e-mail. I've heard nothing back from the buyer. I take it the next step is to cancel the order. How long do you give the buyer before cancelling?

Cancel now. If they haven't paid in three days, they probably aren't buying.

If your store terms state 3 days, then cancel it.
BL Non Paying Buyer designation is 7 days.
It’s all up to you, what is your limit. I had buyers who paid on 7 days, sometimes people have other commitments which delay payment.

Thanks. I realize after the fact that I didn't state that payment needs to be made within 3 days. I'll add that to my terms and set a reminder to cancel the order at the 7-day mark. I agree with iahawks550 that they're probably not going to pay, but I should play by BL's default rules in the meantime.

Since you're going the invoicing route, remember that this added step is not the norm for customers when buying online. I've had several customers on bricklink think that their transaction was done and then email me asking where their order is. I send a reminder email and they usually pay immediately.

This. I've been bitten as a buyer by this when placing several orders at once. This is definitely not the norm so a reminder should be sent to buyers.

Thanks much for the feedback. I set it up as invoicing because there’s such a variation in shipping costs - Across USPS zones and when comparing to FedEx/UPS (e.g. via Pirate Ship). But it sounds like I’m better off setting an ‘average’ cost that is automatically billed and absorbing an excess/profiting from an underage. Definitely something to consider.

Palace Cinema in person $372. Best selling I've found to be Modular, T1 Camper and Ecto-1 by a long shot.

[$20 on joe vs dan]

Modulars 4shure.

There is a very large and energized AfoL market for these, they are well informed of pricing...pricing one just below market and it will sell in days...folks will travel about 1 hr each way.

Perosnally if I could find a used BB for <$300 I would drive about an hour as well (what I save on tax covers gas)

Mostly great sets. I didn't keep any for myself but hey. I still have Star Wars sets I have yet to build.

My sister's just made the T1 Camper and it's really nice (much better than the T2 apparently). I'm not a petrol head and I've no idea about vehicles but given her partner spent over $1000 on a steering wheel for their real camper, buying a Lego T1 is just loose change really.
