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 found two cases in Target last week, but I haven't dipped into that stock yet.  On bought a couple of sets back when they were out everywhere.  Then, when they were drying up, I happened across a bunch at Legoland and TRU, and bought them out.  Then I hit every TRU in San Diego county and bought them up.  Enough that my one of my payment cards was declined for spending $200 at one TRU, and then $200 at another TRU 5 miles and 15 minutes later.  lol

 

I think I've sold 5 sets so far, and I've got about 9 more to go.  As long as prices stay at this level, I'm clearing 2x RRP.

 

 

I wish!  I never made it out of San Diego County.

i totally envy you ... surprised that you found cases this late @ target.

 

looks like my area is filled with all the BP'ers can't find anything. last time i saw Series 1 was back in June .. then they all vanished and it was series 2 till august. now all i could see/find is series 3....

I found a couple honey holes of Series 2.  With the proper coupons, I should be able to snatch them up at a good price (KMart).

your kmart carries mixels now that's totally awesome....

I'm stocking up on those right now.  Was lucky to find them at TRU to use for Bricktober, but they're drying up there.  LL CA still has a ton of them, although one or two are getting hard to find.  I will probably try to finish out a few more sets in the next week or two, and then sit back for Series 3 to start to disappear in a couple of months.

Thought I would share my Mixel stash.  95% of these came from the same LL Discovery Center.  I think I'm the only person who ever bought Series 1 Mixels there.  They still have reds and blacks on the shelf.  The bagged ones are complete sets.  Photos kind of suck.  24 complete sets, tons of extras, if I could get a bunch more Volectros I would have a lot more complete sets.

 

 

 

 

 

Also the beginnings of my Series 2 hoarding, mostly blues from TRU.  I have a Mixel problem.  I found 6 more complete sets I ratholed in my garage the other day which I completely forgot about.  Thanks to Alpine, my mixel inspiration.

I had no idea these mixels are hot commodities. I've seen some series 2 kickin' around, are they really worth picking up and flipping?

Edit: oh ya, 21110 research institute $107 + free shipping

Series 2 isn't quite there yet but they are getting harder and harder to find so not a bad grab.  I'm focusing on grabbing the blue guys.  They are the most common (24 to a case instead of 18 like the other 2 colors) but they seem to be way more popular at least where I"m at.  Blues seem to be harder to find on shelves.  Wouldn't hurt to grab them especially if you are trying to add $5-15 at TRU or something to lock in getting the Bricktober sets.

My local WM had a couple of series 2 cases, and another store had a couple of series 1 singles. I may have to look into picking up some of these.

My Mixel Brother From Another Mother.  Love the stash.  I've spent the evening reorganizing mine (yet again).  Wish I would have taken some photos.  But yours definitely outdoes mine.  You hit the mother-lode with that Discovery Center my friend.  Happy to inspire, and may you profit well.

I agree with that.  Blue seems to be the hardest to find everywhere.  My own personal taste says Blue is the best of the three.  I just didn't dig the Orange or Brown.

 

I can't predict the future; I don't know that Series 2 will have the staying power of Series 1.  But, if you're at all curious, now is the time to get these, before they disappear.  They are getting harder to find, and I agree with sroster, that Blue will probably be the ones that take off (much like Yellow).

Sold a Lone Ranger train for $109.99 + shipping.  Time to raise the price again.

[Alpinemaps]

Time for me to consider liquidating mine.

[Alpinemaps]

Sold two more sets of Series 1 Mixels.  This time on Bricklink, so lower fees.  $100 each set.  (Still more money in my pocket than $110 on eBay)

[No More Monkeys]

Before Christmas season? As Olaf would say: "why?"

[jgschmieg3]

Haunted House for $325 and SSD $745

[10230]

Haunted House for $325 and SSD $745

Would be interesting to know where - because selling prices don't include fees, and these can be quite different.

[seapotato]

Sold the elf workshop for $24

a little too early ... gotta be patient with this set ... only less than a year out from EOL ...

Or, more precisely, time for me to look over my inventory and see what price I bought them at.

 

*checks inventory*

 

*only bought one for himself*

 

Never mind, don't pay any attention to me.

Well done!

 

Here in Europe it is still sitting at 80 euro, unfortunately.

I was surprised, just listed it yesterday.  It only cost me $7.28 to ship that big boy, since the buyer was in a neighboring state.

[jeff_14]

Sold 3 of the Monster Fighter Halloween accessory sets on ebay to one buyer for $55 plus shipping. I paid $40 last year and will hike the price with Halloween approaching.

 

Also sold another LOTR lot on Craigslist. Helms Deep, Mines of Moria, Orc Forge, Attack on Weathertop and Gandalf Arrives for $450. I paid $270 originally.

Friends Heartlake Vet (damaged box) - $100 shipped

When you guys sell on Craigslist do you meet up with the buyer?

Unless u want to ship it, but I would assume 99% of all transactios are face to face .
