With the possibility of moving to NC in the next few months I'm trying my best to slow down on the pile ups lol. I found them because of BP (MinifigW) and bought them all for BPers. Hopefully people are willing to do the same in the future! PayItForward!11 points

I lost money on some and made some on others. The people who bought 1-5 I lost money (or very close to break even) I sold the majority of them for 42 shipped, if they bought more than 5. I paid roughly 32.XX each after taxes. I charged 45 shipped for under 5. (Was a mistake on my end lol) 45-shipping-materials (boxes, tape, padding, etc) and some areas seemed to be a lot more to ship (I'm still new to the sipping game) same box, same weight, same everything. One was 32 to ship other 20. I didn't get out an excel sheet and crunch the numbers in my head as long as I passed 2,600 I was fine. With 90% of them already bought/shipped I just passed that mark. So really my last order will be profit I guess of a few hundred. Wasn't in it to make money but defiantly wanted something cover the time/energy (do you know how hard it is to juggle 2 shopping carts that are overflowing and need to go over multiple speed bumps!..lol) needless to say I will turn a small profit of a few hundred dollars and that's mainly thanks to the 2 people who bought more than 20! I could have easily made 3-4 what I did but like I've said I did it for the "team" not for myself. Went into that target expecting to buy 8-10...left with a 100!8 points

Congratulations LegoBro! I hit 4 stores in my area today, all empty. I'm going to check one store Friday morning, then try not to obsess about Dimensions until Monday. I did sell 10 pair Homer arms today for $1.88/pair which delighted me to no end. $18.80 worth of Homer arms!7 points

Hi even though investing in Lego has become more challenging, the potential to build anything your imagination comes up with has never been greater. A while ago I decided I wanted to MOC my own house, recycling some profits from the reselling business in a really fun project. It took me a long time - clearly I lack lots of techniques, but I'm happy to show you the current status. I'm on a building break now before I open up the rooms to add some light bricks I bought from a Dutch specialized website. Once they are up and running, I'll probably post all the interiors too... (everything is 'Modular' - at least I learned something from my PS adventures :-)) Take care. ZULU5 points

Not sure yet. My WO MAN applied for a job in Charlotte so I'm assuming (if she gets it) it will be outside of the city. Looking at potentially buying a brand new home. Soooooo cheap compared to south FL. Here you are lucky to get a decent house built in the 70s (a 3/2 maybe 2,500-3,000 SQFT) for 450-500,000. I'm looking at 6,00O square feet 6/5s brand new for 400,000 with a basement! I really want a basement and turn it into my own personal legoland! Lol... They are offering a really nice moving bonus so that's why we are thinking (if she gets it) to move up that way. We wanted ***,SC, NC so if we get paid to move there I'm all for it. Plus my mom and half of her family is in that area now.3 points

I tend to agree with this. People don't hate the Simpsons, most people aren't interested in the current output and haven't been for years, but at the same time most people can quote early episodes verbatim and there's a Simpsons quote for most situations. It's like the idea that super heroes aren't popular in Europe, it's an over generalisation, they're popular in some areas, not so much in others..3 points

Simpsons is one of the most popular shows in the history of television. In 2011 PBS UK named it the number one US show with the greatest influence on the UK https://goo.gl/rN6LYS . Perhaps it's hated in your circle but it's very popular in the UK and worldwide. I love the Simpsons and have to defend them The house and kwikemart are both great sets.3 points

I had 3 FREE preview tickets ready to go for LAST Saturday. However I also have a not quite 3 year old. At first I was thinking, HEY it's at 10am, that's when little kids go to movies. Then I remembered it was an advance screening and die hard fans would be there. We stayed home, so that we wouldn't ruin the premiere for others. You're welcome bat-nerds.3 points

BrickLink is just a platform. It's good to remember that every store is unique. Each seller has its own threshold for time and effort spent. It's own accessibility to various sets and parts. It's own goals and ambitions. Restaurants are a good analogy. Someone could say 'all restaurants are the same, you pay someone else to cook the food for you and you eat it there.' But surely, not all are created equal. Right now, I'm more of a 5Guys kind of restaurant. I have one main draw (poly bags). If someone orders a hot dog or a coke, that's money in the pocket, but that's not my main clientele. My biggest competitor is the mcDonalds type store. The one that has everything. They sell large quantities at low margins. Have specials like free shipping, coupons, and gwps (happy meals). When they start selling a set I have, my sales/profits drop dramatically. I'm trying to move over into a Carrabbas kind of store. Where I have a variety of premium, unique dishes that draw people in. I'll have appetizers (poly bags) and drinks (loose pieces) they can buy to fill their plate, but really they came for the risotto.3 points

Due to last year's disappointing UCS sets I started looking at MOCs and was blown away by the Nebulon Frigate. ~ 5800 pieces later and this masterpiece now stands before me. Now addicted and can't wait for the next one. Thinking tie bomber, tie Interceptor or cavecods at at3 points

Going to keep bumping every couple hours! Keep it at the top of the forum!! Also @ 166 likes! Going to guess and say that's the most liked comment ever! Let's try and get to 200 likes!! As is right now need to add 66 to the raffle! Last few hours guys! I'm sure some of you are on the fence or don't think 10 dollars makes a difference but it does! This is THE BEST way to give back for the work Ed/Jeff put into the site! Tax returns coming in you can live without 10 dollars!2 points

I got my wife into lego to deal with this. Little sets like the Cloud Cuckoo Land with Uni-kitty (who she loved in the movie), then some of the small box animal or holiday sets from time to time. Now she buys me the big modular sets as Christmas/birthday gifts. As for the reselling, she was very skeptical of anything involving Craigslist, associating it with back alley deals or sordid hookups, but between showing her that most of the action is on Amazon and how much profit the sales make, I have achieved tacit look the other way status.2 points

I let my balance sheets and the vacation we take every year, paid for with money made from reselling Lego, do the talking. When I first started doing this several years ago she was skeptical. Now when she is out shopping and she sees a set on sale she sends me a text asking if she should buy it. Storage could have been an issue since I've got quite a bit of inventory, but luckily I have a good hookup on free storage which isn't too far away from our house. If you can show consistent positive results and don't let your inventory take over your living space then the potential issues with your significant other shouldn't be a problem.2 points
