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...

coelian Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Sold an iron man helm for 140chf buy in was about 40chf. I should have paid this one more attention but was busy buying up tie fighter and stormtrooper helms. I can't find any more of the iron man helms anywhere in retail.

Didn't think Iron Man would disappear that quick and considered it the weakest of the three. I thought the Target Stormtroooper clearance would finish the set but it lives on . . .

I got the tie helms simply because they were pretty tough to come by. Interestingly I've seen 5000 storm helms go on amazon.de and they get wiped out in a day or two....

For whatever reason I decided to stock up on the Alex and Steve but ignored the skeletons. IIRC nobody wanted Skeleton around here and they were still on the shelves 6 months after the other 2 were gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimking23 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 75974 Bastion, $100 w/free ship on EBay. I walked by stacks on clearance thinking they can’t get rid or these. I bought 2 at 50% off, only because the boxes were so pristine [bit of a box queen]. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Ebay: Tantive IV: LIst price $257, Total Collected: $300.82 (Payout: $237.29...damn fees!!!) Tie Fighter Helmet: $169, $196.10, tbd I got the tantive from SAH BF for $170 plus GWPs!!! The Tie got for RRP (when they were actually in stock)...these are hot BTW...mine sold in less than 5 hrs of listing I'm pretty sure I could have gotten more w/ more patience but I am LITERALLY out of space. ON a side note; we know this is the year Ebay will be 1099ing sellers...for those that may not have fully declared past year sales wouldn't it be wise to limit sales this year?

My point being that seeing a $10k sales total but zero declared in previous years may be eye brow raising...maybe amp up slowly yead after year??? Likely giving gov. Way too much credit. They will be literally swamped w new declarations they never had before.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Fb Marketplace; Local inperson: Simpsons Kwiki-Mart; Used w/ Box and manual (good shape): $330 cash Was originally a CL local purchase for $214 back in 2018 (Part of a massive lot i got to fund a kid's college tuition...this lot aged well [included Ninjago City, Mountain Mine, Tower of Orthanc, Temple of Airjitsu, and dozen others). I think I could have held out for another $40...but then I would have likely needed to drive more than 2 minutes I drove for this one...given gas prices the near deal is worth some $ on the table. I spent the $200 from this deal to get Cinderella's castle used...which I think will have a higher ceiling (once it retires) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoWalker4 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 In person sale FB Marketplace sale of my lone Treehouse for $205, netting a very small profit. There are better ways to invest at the moment and needed the money to pay for a recent car repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Sold a set of the Lego Movie 2 Limited Edition Brickheadz for $380. Crazy to think how much these have gone up. What's even crazier is the buyer is from Brazil and how much he had to pay via the eBay Global Shipping Program. Mind-blowing!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
