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...
jeff_14 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 When you guys sell on Craigslist do you meet up with the buyer? Yes. I always meet in a public place and because I work near the main transit hub in Canada's biggest city, I can usually just walk out of my office to do the drop. Or I have no problem meeting at another subway or train station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes. I always meet in a public place and because I work near the main transit hub in Canada's biggest city, I can usually just walk out of my office to do the drop. Or I have no problem meeting at another subway or train station. Our environments are so different. I'd have to meet at an Amish Farmer's Market. Amish don't build LEGO, they build barns and wagons. 9515 Star Wars Malevolence: $200 + shipping HOLY MOLY! I totally underestimated the market for this thing.

terrymc4677 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Before Christmas season? As Olaf would say: "why?" "Christmas season" unofficially begins in two weeks. Once Halloween is over, people begin shopping for those holiday gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 $55 each or for the 3 ? 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. I agree. The Lone Ranger train has the chance to raise in the next 12 months. this set (and others like most of the MF them and Joker's Funhouse) didn't "pop" after retirement since many TRU and mom / pop stores had sets in-stock at inflated prices. a little too early ... gotta be patient with this set ... only less than a year out from EOL ...

I just raised my price to $50 and the BIN to $65. Lots more available and I bought them for 50% off at $12 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Another set of Mixels Series 1 for $110, and two more RIs for $70 each. I'm OOS on RIs. Decided I was happy with the ROI, and since more were appearing in store this week, I wanted to get some money out of them before a flood of new product showed up. If I screwed up, oh well. I missed the boat a little while ago when they were going for $90. Might as well be happy with grossing 4x what I paid for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I think some Tumbler flippers are counting their 2X VIP and promos as cost savings as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have sold a few Vamp Castles for 140 on amazon. Have a bunch I got for 70. Was planning on keeping longer but I need to cover some town halls I panic bought. I think the castle can hit $200 in another year. Been selling vamp hearses too, $40 a pop. Got 20 when they were $9.

That's the way you do it. Money for nothing and chicks for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No More Monkeys Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 ... Oh and BTW, for me to ship that beast out will be in the realm of $50 I think we did that exercise for SSD. Most people can ship SSD for about $23 coast to coast (with signature and full insurance). If I remember correctly, you have to remain under 3 cubic feet overall size though, otherwise it jumps quite a bit (thank god them stupid sewer lairs are just below that...)
