Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely enough demand out there from what I'm seeing so far. Gonna have to add d & m to "up the price" and dump the price before the new IST's hit the shelves in the summer wave!

Phil B Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Bit of a bummer sale: sold a Ghost on BL for $140. Had raised my prices previously but forgot to update my BL listing and someone found it ah well, still almost doubled my buy-in, but it could have been at least $30 more.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were one of us, he would've tried to split the order and get $20 off twice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryZola Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Just over £80 after fees etc on a full set of Disney Figs a couple of days ago again. Bought in the Tesco 3-4-2 mid last year. Nice. Should be able to do better on the rest in 6 months time etc maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Accidentally made my first sale on Amazon, lol. Some Dimensions packs for $5 each. Yes, they were 99 Cent Store pickups. Accidentally, because I was just getting my feet wet looking at FBA and FBM selling, and wasn't even intending to sell LEGO in my Amazon Store. I just threw up something in there to test things out, and didn't realize I had made it live. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke even in shipping. I made almost exactly $2 on each one. I've since raised the price on the remaining stock, lol. Wasn't try to sell them so low.

Wasn't try to sell them so low. if you sold via amazon then i don't think you can even break even. i am pretty sure you lost money on that. $5(selling price) - $1(15% or $1 fee) - $1,35 (video game referral fee) - $0,99 ( selling variable fee unless you are in professional selling plan) = $1,66 cheapest shipping via amazon for 6 oz weight will be about $2,83 [ remember that the price went up ] $1,66-2,83 = (1.17) your loss is (1.17)+ (product cost) if you are in professional selling plan. your loss is (0.18)+ (product cost) overall you paid to sell your item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your $2.16 loss becomes a $1.83 or $2.83 profit that way. 100% or 200% ROI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going from the sales report that shows $5.82 owed to me by Amazon. I'm not on a seller account (yet), but an individual account. I wasn't planning on selling yet - I wanted to check some things out while I'm looking at a couple of different markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
