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

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"

for sure...that set is definitely in my top 5 alltime

for m personally; I only sell $400+ locally...I'm too small time to be able to absorb that kind of hit if it goes south 

That's also another reason as to why I sell locally. 

So did you open the bags yet and build or is it still sitting there because of how long it took to build the MILF?

It's near the front of the backlog...behind just the Venator, and the DropShip/AT-OT.

Yeah the MILF basically put us back 2+ years.  Doesn't stop me from picturing the Imperial Shuttle at various display options around teh house tho...been doing that for years since getting it.

So a week or so ago I was cleaning out a closet and found a box of Lego parts and some polybags that I guess got put in the wrong place when I moved. So among a mix of MIxels and Chima polybags what do I find...a Darth Revan Polybag and a VW bus polybag. I immediately put Revan on Ebay got 5 offers in 5 minutes and sold it for $209 plus shipping within 12 hours of posting. Not too bad for 30 minutes of cleaning.

That's amazing. I obviously don't know Star Wars enough, never heard of Revan and happily sold him for $26 in 2014.
I still have Chima though, so I think I'm doing this wrong. 😛

Good to know. I have one revan sitting on a shelf still; Nice find.

Yay LEGO!

He's a character from the Old Republic video game

There is a Lego God! Just sold my last Exo-suit 21109. Might actually turn a profit on this one. Please excuse my excitement, it’s my Joker Steamroller.

Congrats! That’s always a good feeling when the last of a dud set leaves your inventory, especially if you actually made some profit on it. I know how that feels .

Exo-Suit was one set that I never fell for the hype on. I bought two. Gave one to my son and sold the other locally at cost just to get rid of it. Can you imagine having dozens of Exo-Suit & Joker Steamrollers? Yikes!

Your Steamroller story was my favorite post ever. There's been so many references to "Steamroller" since, there must be a ton of newer members wondering what that's all about.
Read it here.

I recently sold a Jyn Erso, most likely at a loss. Rumor has it Santa's giving her out instead of coal this year.

I can’t believe that it’s been almost five years already since that post. Crazy how time flies. My new “Steam Roller” is the Cara Dune AT-ST, but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one in that boat. I think I have around 35. I’m fairly confident there are others with many more than that.

I picked up a Jyn Erso at a K-mart for like $1.75 just to have as a sort of trophy or totem of unwantedness.

[Darth_Raichu]

Checking the Exosuit on Amzn just to see current price: $78-$79 range FBA.

I thought I sold mine last year, but they were actually sold 2 years ago for ~$50 FBA

[Shortbus311]

Sold a 75210 Moloch's landspeeder. Didn't think anyone would ever actually buy one of those. Even made a little profit since it was a $7 Walmart clearance pick up.

[cladner]

$100 FBM.  Buyin $8.  got one more left.

The steam roller post should be posted and read annually like the Night Before Christmas

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"

Hold up. He requested this 30 minutes before you created it? Now I don't know if I am more impressed by your used-LEGO hauls or your artistry as a poet.

If you think that's impressive, you should see what I impress my wife with
