A Christmas themed Millennium Falcon from Reddit, likely the employee exclusive. It looks like it will be featured in the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special coming next month We shall dub it the Christmas MILF, based on a research video called "Ho Ho Ho's" I watched as a teenager.

I want that set just to put Ironman in the donut and a Nick Fury minifig standing on the ground. "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to exit the donut!"

First major sale from bulk vintage lot buys that I have been doing lately. 6081, King's Mountain Fortress - no box, instructions, complete with ~3 pieces I had to buy to finish. $200 plus shipping. The lot that this was included in has Forestmen's Crossing without base plate, Forestmen's Fortress, and some yet to be determined classic space sets. $100 invested, so rest is profit-land! Encouraging!

I ordered one last night and it was saying available now, it's also in Warehouse.

Was sold for 140 euro (160-170 dollars) You have to take into account that we can buy the sets for around 60 dollars from the US, have about 30 dollars shipping cost and 20% import duties (I think). This means the cost was around 102 dollar, so a profit of about 60 dollars.

Went to Yosemite on Saturday. Here's of pic of me and the kids in Yosemite Valley with El Capitan on the left and Half Dome all the way in the back. I haven't been back in 20+ years and it was our kids' first time. We had a great time hiking a few trails. The air quality wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either. We also got to see a couple of bears (from far away), and one even climbed up a tree! We were surprised at how fast and easy it did it.

Too bad it wasn't a special edition re-release....

Bespin Dual; ebay; $99 plus shipping I believe that was a mid-range price (last week) is that the new floor?

Set 4002, but the stickers were applied incorrectly.

I have signs that say no negotiation and I stick with that . When new people comes up I explain pricing to them so I take the mystery of it out. I tell them I sell this for X on ebay and have sold two in the last two months (truth) I indicate that I reduce my garage sale priced to reflect a cost savings form mot paying ebay, pal Pal and shipping fees. I also tell them it is not a perfect science but in general I try. I don't encourage them to check ebay but in my Craigslist as I see them checking - GO ahead and check im not afraid of them checking - they are usually presently surprised and see I have told them the truth. Someone buys four or five sets I do not budge. After doing this a few years i have my regulars who come shopping. One is the little old lady on her walker who spent $700 just this year. She likes suggestions so I steered her to one of my low buy-in good appreciation set and told her I was taking it to half price for her. She is a neighbor from three doors down and she has bought form me for years. A deal is worth it for me to take care of the neighbors. But in general I just say no and tell them if I go lower I would just take it to ebay. There are tricks: 1. I make it look like a store 2, I make it an event that people talk about 3.) I prove to them they are already getting a discount with my price. 4. ) I have items from $4 - $400 5. ) My Lego are not mixed in with "Garage Sale" items 6.) I do not sell used Lego 7.) Prices are clearly marked - Sticky note with price and set number. (Critical for tracking and not getting confused onm the cost of a set.) 8.) You may have multiples but only put out 1. Let them believe it could be your last one. You can always pull the duplicate out once an item is sold. I have a spreadsheet and have been tracking buy-ins for years but I priced based on eBay. If I lose a little money on a set I sell it for a loss. What I paid for it is not important. It is what I can sell it for that is important. But if I am losing money and have to ship it and pay fees then I lose a lot more. In the garage Sale it is about volume sales 61 of my sales is under $28. THese are sets that maybe hard to sell for a profit on ebay but for me they generated $500 in profit. Sure - you get your whales but this chump stuff is a solid foundation and a way to get rid of low hanging fruit. When you sell 100 plus sets in an event accept the few losses and consider a way to pare out underperformers.

All of my Bespin Duel's from Brandsmart cancelled....called and was given the out of stock reason...
