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
MartinP Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Yes, I do have some inconvenient history with these TC-4's. One got lost in the mail. And with some others in my possession I did not have a sale for a long time. So I am happy I got ridd of this one and made 15 euro clean profit on it after having it for about a week. Not bad! haha All it has to do is arrive at the destination, and the curse will be lifted! Hopefully this one does not get lost in the mail, like one of the others did. Quote
Silburned Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Sold my last 10199- Winter Toy Shop. Sad to see it go but love the profit! Quote
Huskers1236 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Sold my last 10217 Diagon Alley and a 4757 Hogwarts to the same buyer on Craigslist. $400 Had $250 into it and with no fees a nice payback. I should have thought of having an ongoing listing on CL a long time ago. Most of the inquiries don't pan out, but some, like yesterday, do. Quote

jaisonline Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Sold a couple of things since Thurs. Empty 6211 ISD box. I opened the MISB 6211 earlier this yr when a buyer just wanted the sealed contents. It's nice to unload the box, MISB Western train from Toy Story No box, compete Indy Jones 7683 Fight on the Flying Wing. 1 Quote

weakside Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 sold my last Wolverine chopper... $118 + shipping. sucks it's my last and can't keep one for personal collection but profit margin cheers me up a little will use the profits to buy some newer small/med super heroes sets at the next sale. Quote
terrymc4677 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I'm thinking about offloading my Tie Fighters this Christmas, good idea. Yes, this set seems to be picking up steam lately. I have four more, and would like them gone before the new movies come out. It's a good bet that there will be a re-release of the tie in the near future. Quote

Wow, $118+shipping? That's like $50 more than what is going for on ebay right now. Quote
weakside Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Wow, $118+shipping? That's like $50 more than what is going for on ebay right now. yeah, I'm actually not on eBay (in the minority). Amazon takes a bit longer to sell, has higher fees but usually I can sell for higher to make up the difference. as I am a small time investor and have to pay CAN retail prices... eBay is just too much competition and horror stories haha. my low volume will wait on Amazon, eventually buyers will bite and I am not in rush to move inventory.

holleman67 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Just sold a republic gunship 75021 for $300 shipped to someone in Florida with 100% positive feedback. What's the catch? Quote

holleman67 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Crazy, now you'll probably see a stampede of new listings. Haha I know right? I wanted to hold my last one for a bit and so I jacked the price up to hold the posting. I just did this at 4am mind you. I'm baffled. 1 Quote
