RE: Flipping LEGOs for Cold Hard Cash! And Some Pitfalls to Avoid
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Goodwill has whatever happens to have been donated. Sometimes there is almost nothing and it's a wasted trip from the LEGO stand point. I usually check out cutlery and pitchers in housewares as well. Sometimes people donate old silver cutlery items without realizing they are silver and the store misses it too. Cheap silver! It's always a gamble, sometimes you hit the motherlode other times you walk away empty handed, the latter being the most common outcome.
But since I don't do it for a living it doesn't really matter! Some people specialize in certain parts and buy them in bulk whenever they can, so there is a fair amount of competition. Some months if I find some good stuff I've sold a few hundred dollars worth of stuff, others less than fifty. It just depends how much time I'm willing to put into it which honestly isn't very much, this is just a side hobby that makes a little extra spending cash!
