SSD on amazon $999.99 + 12.99 shipping fee. buyer is only 3 states away. Raptor Escape + Gallimumus Trap combo for $104.49 on amazon. BTTF Delorean $95.48 also on amazon. sales have really accelerated out of nowhere. i was not the lowest price for these and they still sold. building up capital for some holiday promo splurge spending at shop at home. especially that gingerbread house. along with the candy and sweets, they might as well stick some of those green 1x2 flat tiles with the $100 printed on the side for good measure. ho ho ho - i love this time of year.

I just made my first brick classified sale, a Death Star for $480. Ever since the no fees announcement I wanted to list a few things to support it. This sold within an hour of posting.

City: Mining Truck 4202 - $78 ($17 buy-in) @ Amazon

preorders are for FBA items that are already in Amazon's possession and are being moved to other distribution center ( redistribution)

What a load. Built it just to take pictures? Uh... there are plenty of professional pictures of it on the internet... we all know what it looks like. Oh... and you are "keeping the box and instructions"? Could it be that you bought it with no box or instructions? And that's why you felt the need to build it and get photos? That is not "new". That set is "used", and anyone with 200 minifigs for sale in his store should know that.

related but different - a pet peeve of mine is Ebay sellers that include best offer on their listing and then refuse to negotiate within reason. I understand if you don't want to accept 10%-20% off - I tested the waters and couldnt match your floor. I'll move on and wish you luck. But if you're not willing to knock off 5% or even 2% of your asking price, maybe you shouldn't be using that feature. Maybe there's some secret psychology game going on here, but it seems to me like you're just cluttering up the landscape.

Yesterday, I tried to give a child a pirate - and he threw it at me.

I think this pretty much sums it up. A five year old boy (my son) watching Star Wars for the first time ever. The Death Star is... fascinating. When it is gone (whenever, if ever, that finally happens), just sit back and watch the prices skyrocket as this moment (pictured below) happens again and again all over the world.

Just sold a Dynamic Duo Funhouse on Amazon for $100 CDN. Netted $80 after fees and shipping on a $55 purchase. Think I'll raise the price on my last one.

Found ten pristine 21001 John Hancock last year at TRU on clearance for $6.49ea. Sold them all to a guy in Germany through EBAY GSP for $890.

Especially for The Karate Kid MOC scene

"My Wife and I bought this a while back and it sat in the box brand new, finally one night we decided to build it and then sell it. So this set is brand new we built it once basically for picturing for this listing then we took it apart and its been in its box ever since."

Just had somebody offer me $185 on a 7965 MF open box listed at $215, with the note "you'll never sell an open box MF at this price, $185 is a fair offer." If you're on here, good luck selling your $1,500 UCS Slave-1

Return of an Old Friend by Chris McVeigh

Tires are back in stock.

I saw tons of these at Targets. I am going to wait for discounts/clearance before buying

Need a light? Light 'em up by Tim Schwalfenberg

Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.

Bricklink Bat-Pod! Total including tires and the Hero Facotry complete sets in order to get the pieces came to just over $115 and well worth it. Cannot wait to get this home and display next to Tumbler. The set is much bigger than I imagined too.

But not phonics, ironically

I think I saw your ad. You're in Mill Valley, right? I was going to email you, but I'm in the Montclair area of Oakland and it just wasn't worth it for me to drive to you since I got two young kids. I really wanted to buy the Ferris Wheel, Mixer, BBT, and Ferrari.

42006 £100. Nice buy-in at £27 from Asda very soon after release. Still got a couple left. Technic tends to sit a while but returns are usually good.

Looks like an executive decision has been made this morning to go all out Star Wars. Everything else can move aside.

Well, if a collector wants to return a purchase because of this marking on an inside flap, then I'll be happy to take it back.

its all about the accessories. usually the smallest items end up on the bottom of the bag so thats where i go first. i wouldnt say im a 1 sec guy and i find that BS, but one can get through a rack at TRU pretty quickly with practice.

There could be a number of reasonable explanations. I usually have 1,000 or so listings - and I would almost always consider a reasonable offer, but there are occasions that I wouldn't. I always offer free shipping - so an offer on an in demand, larger set to a buyer in CA would cost a lot more to ship it there (so I would likely decline, as I know someone closer will want it). I also sell some small items (w/ free shipping) that would only be worth selling at the full price (since it is sold w/ free shipping). But if an international buyer makes an offer on the same item (and is paying for shipping), I would then consider a lower offer. The seller could also be trying to gauge the value of the item.

I love it when someone is holding the Amazon Buy Box hostage when they don't even have it in-stock.

i have quite a few people, on separate occasions, asking me about this set in Asia, and they are happy to pay usd 1k for new set. I figured that by dec when new movie is released, the price will easily exceed 1k mark.

I agree about the shaping and nice coloring. To add, I am sure nothing can escape those balipstick missiles. Haha.

Open it, and build it!!

GET TO THE CHOPPA!

Me 8.

Investment life. At least no Exo Suits!

Been taking advantage of the Argos 3 for 2 deal lately. Last day tomorrow and have a couple kylo ren shuttles and falcons reserved.

Really? It would seem pretty logical from a business perspective to retire some of the older and larger sets, and replace them with newer and larger sets that are actually based on the new movie. It's not like kids are going to walk away from Force Awakens begging their parents to get them a set that is based on an entirely different movie or adults are going to walk away thinking "Gosh, those First Order badguys are really bada**, I really need to go pick up Ewok Village."

I also saw it as more of a moral issue. It did seem as though ebay was telling me to keep both the money and the set and not say a word to the buyer. They have zero feedback, so maybe they just dont know how it works. Bottom line is I have my set back, and once I check that all the pieces are there, I dont see how any scamming could be involved. I dont want to keep someone's money. Seems like a good way for karma to catch up with me next time I buy something. I sent buyer a message with option to either send me additional shipping cost and I will send it back along with information about how to get the instructions from Lego (again), or give me a week to verify parts and then refund of the item price minus $15.

I am not ashamed to say I'd actually fork over money for a couple of those.

Left turns help too

I scored a decent craigslist lot this morning. All sets are used/complete with instructions. No boxes. 10216 Winter Village Bakery 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop 4996 Creator Beach House 3833 Krusty Krab Adventures 3827 Adventures in Bikini Bottom All five sets for $125.

Apparently, Darth Vader wasn´t 100% honest in declaring DS´s emissions when homologating it.....

Lego SAH Germany does have this listed as a retired product. Sold out on US SAH. Maybe its finally time.
