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...
Migration Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 This was an 80 pound lot I just picked up cheap. No instructions, few minifigs. It looked to be from the late 90s to early 2000s. I just washed it and a boxed it and am selling as is. I'm getting a little over $7.25 per pound shipped. I'll take that, and not spend the time sorting colors. I only rarely sort out bulk lots like this one by color when I sell them. If it's a lot that I've sorted to build sets from than sure, sell each color/style by itself, otherwise I don't spend the time. I did pull out all the mini figures and any rare pieces and will sell the mini figs as their own lot, minus a couple rare ones that I will sell individually and the few that I wanted to hang on to. I try to treat each lot individually and maintain a pile of less than 100 pounds at any given time. Otherwise they do have a tendency to take over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy and sort a few thousand pounds of bulk over three or four years and things start to pop out at you. Especially with the mini figures. I sell primarily on eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I try to treat each lot individually and maintain a pile of less than 100 pounds at any given time. Otherwise they do have a tendency to take over. I hear ya. I'm nearing 100 lbs in my garage right now, purely by accident. I've got to start moving that inventory and freeing things up. I've been buying bulks sets when I see something in there I can pull (sets, minifigs, rare pieces - much like you described). I'm also sorting through the bulk, though, because I'm also in the process of putting together somewhere near 20 different sets (Grand Carousel, Winter Village Toy Shop for example). So there's utility in sorting out in the colors for me, right now. Thanks for the advice. That really helps me narrow down what I want/need to do.

terrymc4677 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just sold a used but complete 7199 Indiana jones temple of doom for $167 shipped. I bought it off of eBay five weeks ago for $84 shipped. The buyer is only one state away, so shipping won't be too bad. After fees and shipping I should clear $50 profit. These are the types of quick flips that I enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you find another I'll gladly pay $175 if it has a decent box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have much rather sold it to a fellow BP (and saved on the fees of course). I'll keep on the lookout for another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
