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...

trekgate502 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just when I think things have started to slow after the Halloween holiday buying frenzy going on (it is one of the biggest of the year for people to buy stuff I believe). I was wondering as it had been 24 hours since I sold something, OK maybe there will be a little lull before Thanksgiving. Then I sell another $1500 worth of product in less than 24 hours. Crazy. I think I am getting symptoms of EBSWD (eBay Seller Withdrawal), sold one thing while I slept and now that its been a few hours and have not sold something I am longing for the ching on my iPhone eBay app. It is almost addicting as participating on this site. Good times. Hope everyones sales is continuing to pick up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMoose Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sold 1 7570 Prince of Persia "The Ostrich Race" NIB for $17+shipping. I believe this was the very first Lego set I bought to begin the changing from Hasbro to Lego collecting/reselling. Got it for $10 way back at Marshalls.

trekgate502 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 40082 holiday set for $50 Hohohoho Now that is what I like to see (Hohohoho) I can't believe these sets are rising so well (or I can). The values of 40082 & 40083 tanked over the summer on ebay as I remember. I may have to pull out my only set and sell it if it keeps going up.

trekgate502 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 So, undercut you to maximize the product I'm moving? Well that was set 3 of 4, if you let me sell the one more set then you all can corner the market. (Joke) By the way I have 8 full sets of series 2, do you all think they will climb? Not sure if I should get another 4-8 sets of them while I can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Joke) By the way I have 8 full sets of series 2, do you all think they will climb? Not sure if I should get another 4-8 sets of them while I can... This is my month to finish out my Series 2 set goals. They are starting to get scarce at the major retailers. Brown and Orange are still hanging around, but not in large numbers. Blue are pretty much gone. I've got Legoland California to buy from. They still have plenty of most of the bags, but one of the blue is nowhere to be found. I plan on hitting them up I the next week to get to my goals (>10+) so I can be ready for the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Oh, I didn't answer the question - yes, I believe these will climb in value. You're already seeing sets go for $55-$60. I think there is still room to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkesy43 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Quick flip on a used 7992 Container Stacker (missing instructions). Picked up for AU$20 on Sunday at a Flea Market - was missing 3 parts (which I was able to replace out of a bulk lot I'm sorting) and sold via a Facebook buy & sell group for AU$50 shipped. Should about double my money after PayPal fees and postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Is it the flurr that's hard to find? 45011 ? For me yes its been flurr. Need about a dozen more to finsih the rest of my blue sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Is it the flurr that's hard to find? 45011 ? I personally stocked up on 41509. I *think* it's because I had trouble finding that particular Mixel at Legoland California, while they had the other 8 in stock. There's almost literally a wall of Mixels, and on multiple occasions, I could only pick two of the three Blue tribe. Whenever I see 41509, I pick that one up. So, I have the most of that one. Interestingly enough, looking over my inventory, the one I have the least of, in the Blue tribe, is 41511. I must feel like I can pick that one easily. I only need 4 more of that one to hit my goal for Blue tribe. After I fill my Blue tribe needs, I'll start filling out the other sets, probably Orange before Brown. No particular reason - I think I like Orange over Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigreen Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yesterday sold 9395 for $75 on Kijiji, today sold a lot of 79007, 70703, 70705, 60046 and 9395 for $310 to a grandma (!) also on Kijiji. She is accompanied by her daughter (should be) and had driven to Montreal for this deal. Of course they have other more important thing to do in Montreal but apparently Lego is one of their purpose.
