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
Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 sold a mini vw camper but I guess there was too much air in the polybag so it goy charged as a parcel for shipping. instead of 1.34 packet I had to pay $14.xx! only like 7.xx profit instead of $20.xx. how tragic!!! :'( on another note, sold harry potter and hungarian horntail for $160 local sale. The Royal Mail also sting you on items that are a little oversized. I get round this by poking a tiny hole in the bag with a pin very close to a corner and then squeeze it a little. TBH... I've not sold a single set so far this year, I'll see what's being listed come Xmas and then decide. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Mostly been unloading minifigures lately. Son's a bit worn out by Star Wars so I've been clearing out figures that weren't part of sets. As for sets, sold a used City Corner for $60 shipped(paid $30 new), a couple Forbidden Forests for $29 shipped(paid $10), and a Kingdoms 7949 Prison Carriage Rescue for $20 shipped(paid $10). Pretty small stuff lately, but they all add up. Quote
gregpj Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I sold some used Indiana Jones Lego sets for $170 that I picked up for $50 (used w/boxes, instructions and the "extra" pieces for each set). 7196 - Chauchilla Cemetery Battle 7621 - Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb 7625 - River Chase 7682 - Shanghai Chase I also got 7628 - Peril in Peru in that original $50 but the buyer didn't want it.

comicblast Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 1 LEGO City Advent Calendar 4428. Bought for about $20, sold for $30, so not bad. It was just listed for a while. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 A while back I picked up a lot of 12 Kingdoms sets, & I sold the last one today. Total profit was $230 Now I'm working through a huge Star Wars lot of about 30 sets new & used. I've sold about half and made my money back already Last sale was a NIB Podracers, which I was actually kind of sad to see it go. I was almost hoping it would never sell, then I could have built it. Oh well. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Sold a used,complete with box Siege Tower 6061 for $60 shipped (paid $10) and a 2012 Holiday set for $33 shipped ( Freebie). Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 In a lot I got a bunch of Chima minifigs. They just don't move for some reason very well... Anyway, got a buyer who wanted them all - made them a deal and actually came out with about $30 profit from a bunch of chima stuff. Whoo! Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Hogwarts Castle (used) for $250 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Hogwarts Castle (used) for $250 Nice. I grabbed one for $130 that was missing 3 pieces... that cost me a total of $.75. Gonna look for $250ish for it after I clean it up. Quote

Mine sold for decent money but they sat and sat. I don't think they are quite as individually collectible. If you are ok to sit on them, might not be a bad deal, but your at about $4.50 per meaning on Ebay you are going have to get at least $7.50 a fig on Ebay to make a profit. Quote

Gonna look for $250ish for it after I clean it up. Hogwarts Castle (used) for $250 This gives me even more hope as some of you know i've been stockpiling new and sealed Hogwarts Castle sets for the last 3 months. if only i was into investing when these sets were selling for less than retail. ugh Quote

If you have a reliable, below retail supplier, buy as much as you can! Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 The used Hogwarts I list always sell at $250. It may take a little longer, but I have never had to re-list them. Still have 1 more Quote
@rtisan Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Sold my Mini Camper locally (aka to a friend) for a cool $25. Significantly lowered the final cost of my Deloreans Quote
