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

[brickvoyeur]

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"

I don't know, mad anthony was below me price-wise. But thanks to internet and social media, I can actually see who the buyer is. And AE is probably arab emirates, so must be some forwarding service

 

I think it is safer than you think

AE (armed forces in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Canada)

Speaking of selling on amazon, would it be wise to use the same name as your eBay sellers account? Or use a different name?

[newbie77]

Should I be worried too much if someone bought RI from me on amazon, and I am in 105+ price range, I.e. not even first page of sellers? Billing country is AE, shipping to new york, address mentions DBX. Is this military APO forwarding of some sort?

yes you got it correct. i am sure you already know this that you have to fill out a separate form for that and use USPS. also make sure that you insure the package. Reason i say this is because the tracking you will get is someplace in chicago, IL and then its gone inside the army distribution. nothing to track

I have a different username for every website I'm on. Then again, I've always been slightly paranoid.

I was considering both, totally seperate or all the same. If they are all the same and you're legit, I'm thinking you could make a good name for yourself but the traceability scares me.

Unless you become a national chain I wouldn't worry too much about name recognition. I've always thought it best to keep things distinct and separate. Part of that was all my years in retail and not wanting to get busted abusing my discount. I also like to always have a fallback, thus more than one ebay account. Each linked to a different email and PayPal account.

Nah, looks like forwarding to emirates. AE is mentioned only as billing country. Shipping address does not mention AE. Matched on some teacher in abu dabi in linked in. I guess teachers there are paid quite well

You don't want name recognition from ban hammer though

English teachers make a good penny in that part of the world

Sorry, I meant that more like, "you shouldn't try to create name recognition", I was advising against using the same name on eBay and Amazon. Or on any sites really.

Good point, I'll heed your suggestion and keep it seperate.

I sold my very first set today. RI for $52us +shipping. (And a fiasco of printing two seperate shipping labels).

Because this was my first sale on eBay, or anywhere, I added a bonus polybag (but they don't know that) for taking a chance on a first time eBay seller. I'm on my way to millions!!!

[exciter1]

A box of goodies for our garage sale tomorrow.  I'll let you guys know how I do.

[BrickLegacy]

$2.50 poly bags? That's not a garage sale, that's a fire sale! :-)
