The LEGO sets I bought as an investment.

I bought like 20 Blacksmith attacks for $5, have them listed at I think $10-15, and they haven't moved at all. If I sell at $8, is it really worth all the wait/trouble/storage/etc. for $1-2 profit?

If you decide to liquidate them at $8, I'd be willing to take them off your hands.
I'm sure other bricklinker's would too. If you listed them as a bulk lot, it would save on the number of trips to the post office.

Part of the challenge in this is knowing the venue/customer. A set like blacksmith attacks is going to have higher demand on ebay or amazon than bricklink. Right now the amazon sales rank is 11,303 in Toys, which really isnt too bad. From the camelizer database, these were selling before Christmas on amazon for $22 or so. The price has dropped slightly since then. Amazon fees are higher but so are the prices, so the profit ends up to be about the same or better. Most importantly, I find sets such as this actually _move_ there, as opposed to languishing on Bricklink. You might give amazon a try.

Thanks for the useful info! I've been hesitant to sell on Ebay / Amazon since it's a little bit more tricky and the fees are higher. Not sure if there are better times in the year to sell them (other than Christmas), etc. I don't often check the Toy rankings, etc. which I guess I should. Lots more research to do regarding selling it seems.
