So this was my project for the week. I wanted to turn the Hidden Side Shrimp Shack into a MOD. It's not as polished as many that I see but I worked with the pieces I had on hand. I only had two of those brown arches so I just used white till I find some. So if any of you guys have some in your store please send the link.

April monthly eBay sales up over 1,000% sold more in this month then in all of Q4 2019 and most monthly LEGO sales since 2016.

I don't think Central Perk was this price yesterday($49.99)......if so, please ignore....https://shop-florida.legoland.com/collections/deal-of-the-week/products/lego®-21319

As far as I can tell, the bigger the box, the bigger chances for difference between quoted vs actual Fedex prices. Which deflate the incentive for using Fedex to begin with

Neo Geo mini international is down to $30 at amz https://smile.amazon.com/NEOGEO-Mini-International-electronics-games/dp/B07D1KN661/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=neogeo&qid=1588258532&sr=8-14 Not as good looking as the US mini but pretty cheap for 40 games.

give him the S to add a little color

If that is it for LEGO sales, and taking the GWP into account, this might go down as the lamest May the 4th ever.

This looks amazing and out of the bunch I like this the most. But when it is all said and done, it is a bunch of gray pieces and a boy minifigure. Am I wrong in saying it needs something else to appeal to the masses?

Started the year with 5x 10242 minis. Started selling them early April at $319 ( $185us), and bumped up the price every time one sold. Just sold my last one for $399 ($231us)! Average buy-in was about $75us... Honestly, every time I tell myself "This ones a winner, buy lots" I still fail to buy enough.... 😆

Safe-T claims are FBM only, you will need to open a case for FBA. Good luck, it isn't as easy as it used to be.

Spongebob is back on the allowed list of licenses for LEGO Ideas. Idk if Mega is done with them, but I'd guess yes.

I like the fishing boat and bowling alley. Although there aren't really any that jump out at me as a awesome set.

Man, could you imagine what it'd be like if they did a crowd funded model for these designs like Bricklink did last year? We'd all be broke!

Lego Customer Service finally got back to my alternate buying account about the droid commander polybag. Alt account was lacking points due to not being used much.

maybe this a taboo subject.. but is anyone that is ungated in lego on Amazon willing to work with me on dropshipping some sets? (as in you list, you sell, i dropship) The price difference between Amazon and Ebay is a but nuts right now. i mean why fight the beast when we have the resources for everyone to make some money on the deal..

I've audited all my FedEx labels that have posted to my ebay account for April (only up to the 16th so far) and so far all match exactly what I was charged when I printed the label.

Unfortunately, I haven't had much time even with being at home to list sets online, but seeing some of the jumps in prices for sets like Skeleton Attack, Nether Railway, Rosalyn's Healing Hideout, and others have made me find the time. Also, selling a couple of 21146 for over $125 has really shown me that I am a bonehead when it comes to Minecraft--I only have 3 of this set left when I could have purchased many more but didn't because even though I liked the set, I waited on extra discounts that didn't appear.

One thing I'd like to add when shipping items... Be sure to be as accurate as possible when listing the box dimensions and weight and always round up to whole numbers so you aren't hit at an unexpected higher rate. For example, if you have a box you use that says its a 24x20x4 sized box, don't punch in those same numbers for the dimensions. It is almost always 25x21x5. If the measurement comes out to exactly 24 inches and a single hair, you still need to enter 25. I think I heard someone else mention on here before that Fedex uses a laser or something to measure boxes, so you aren't going to sneak anything by them. Now USPS, you actually do have a chance of sneaking something by. Not saying you should try, just saying that getting charged upfront is a benefit to you there. I've had a postal worker pull out the ruler on my package before. The side was exactly on the dot, but the top rose up a little and, as we all know, boxes aren't perfect. I had to smash the thing down right in front of him, but he still gave me an awkward look and told me to be careful next time as he reluctantly accepted it. And I'm not exactly sure how it works with the Ebay discount and how you get charged by Fedex, but I wouldn't want to run the risk that either the entire charge or the up charge by Fedex isn't discounted by Ebay anymore.

I get charged after the fact via ebay. I have even asked the fed ex shipping person to weigh and check the pkg and they agree the price I paid was right. But about a week later I get an update for an additional charge (usually close to twice what I originally paid). Based upon the help others have provided, I'm pretty confident it's the box size that Fed Ex is dinging me for.

I’m really stoked about this set. It’s unreal in person. Huge yellow box, pirates, castle, old school city folk, and a freaking roller coaster! I’m just a collector, not a speculator. Buy everything you can because dudes like me will pay crazy money next year. You get $40 off if you purchase 3 right now: https://shop-california.legoland.com/collections/legoland-exclusives/products/legoland-park

It's unusual times. I sold lots of big sets to make space/free some cash and my ebay was going off all hours. I was selling most for a double profit but happy to get out of star wars at 50%. Elves has been spectacular (at least x3 purchase across the board). The Speed Champions have always done well for me at the 3 year mark but selling the lot is awesome for you. As mentioned before I lost my job, so the money is very appreciated, better return than stock market, thats for sure. Hopefully working again inside 2 months, before big sales at end of year to replenish supplies. For the first time in 4 years my wife "gets" lego investing/selling and some building. She is stunned when I show her purchase vs sold prices at the moment.

With 3 kids under 4 years old I'm not brave enough to go out anywhere. Lots of goodies on eBay and Mercari though. Ghost, with black hair Kanan and Zen. Not sure if everything else is complete, but I'd consider it a good deal.

Interestingly enough... I kind of dig it. I think this will make kids go bananas.

You'd have to pry away my UCS Slave 1 out of my COLD DEAD HANDS ...and replace it with $600😄 (everythings got a price)

So glad I have my won records in excel.

Some personal responsibility to keep your own financial records and not be dependent on another entity comes into play here. I miss it, but understand it's not mine.

I would love to use AWS, we just did a major migration there for my job and love using it. It is just costly. To set it up there the way I would want to do it would easily be 2-3x the cost. There is no temporary link to give at the moment, all of the work is on my local development setup. I honestly can't give a date at the moment. I am working on it as much as I can. This global issue we are having has my normal job in overdrive. There just hasn't been much time during the week to do extensive work. Most of my time on the development has been on the weekends.

Not even close to how neat most of your modular buildings are, but my daughter and I built this out of multiple daily bugles that kept falling apart and are really proud of it

Lol at my eBay graph for April

same! but to @iahawks550 question, does anyone know how many in a case? well here are the "deals" on the Australia site. pretty disappointing.
