Sold a 50+ set lot.  I'm hoping the sets fit in two 26x26x26 boxes.

It wasn't so much about the profit on this sale. I wanted to free up space and funds for my recent TH and HH purchases.  All the sets and polybags avg $34 cost. I sold for about $44 plus postage.

I love these sales. I just provided the shipping quote and I HOPE I was correct!

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.

I always try and find Lego when travelling. I picked up a 7181 UCS Tie Interceptor for $120US with instructions on my last trip.  Many of my best finds have been out of town :)

Sold my last 10229 winter village cottage for $198 shipped. Cleared $90 profit after fees. I bought these two years ago on clearance at the mall of America lego store. They had a stack of at least 12. I only bought 3. Who has that time machine again? I'd like to borrow it. Great set.

Damn. I picked up one for $20 awhile back and thought $20 may be too much.. At $13 I would of snagged everyone I saw. Damn....

 

Well, now I'm selling mine, after seeing what they're going for.

So when posting how much one sells their set for, are we talking net or gross?

Edit: personally I report what the customers pays in total.

I report what my "in pocket" value is, after fees, because I love math.

More bulk finds off to a new owner. Sold a 7748 CORPORATE ALLIANCE TANK DROID and a 7670 Hailfire Droid together for $35+shipping. Starting on 2 Rogue Shadows next. Pretty sure they're complete as with most of this bulk lot has.

Sales are starting to pick up for sure.  Just yesterday sold:

Cap America Avenging cycle $43

2x Wolverine Chopper for $95 each

2 x Umbaran MHC for $50 each

Hulk minifig promo polybag for $39

Clone Troopers Battle pack for $34

 

Makes me feel like I priced the 6866 too low, but I only paid $15 each.  Had 10 only have one left.

I guess we could take it to the next step and disclose profit made/lost if members are willing to share.

"What set did you sell today, for how much and percentage of profit". 3 people selling the same set for the same price could have totally different profit margins. I think this would interesting to see these numbers if members are willing to share.

To use my last post as an example:

RI sold for $113 minus shipping, approx. PoP= +221%

Let's not! Sale prices are a good enough gauge for the purpose of this thread.  It lets folks know what's selling and for what price. Everyone can keep their profit numbers to themselves.

i agree with excite. lets not turn this good thread into a stick measuring contest. 

sometimes too much information is just overkill and can cause problems (e..g. jealously).

 

i do like the idea about posting sold prices because it gives members a gauge of what sets are going for until the price guide is updated next.

Just a suggestion. People that don't want to devulge don't have to.

Thanks for not making that a requirement.  I don't mind if someone posts it but I don't have time to get into that detail.
