@@danblackonleadership We now have zero selling fees in the UK 🇬🇧 on eBay. I’m now selling all my lingering items from Facebook on eBay but FB is still a great way of selling items locally with no shipping fees 👌🏼

@@euromotif That’s awesome! We’re getting more and more great deals every day now on the run up to Black Friday

@@Brickzfosho No business account yet, just my personal for the time being.

@ appreciate the reply bro!

@@BrickzfoshoGreat question. Generally the shelf life of Lego sets will be around 1 to 2 years, however there are exceptions to this. Some sets get extended year on year if they’re selling particularly well for Lego, and larger more expensive sets can also be around for longer. I use the ‘Brick Fanatics’ website to look at retirement lists for the year. It’s not 100% accurate but pretty close. Some sets fall off the list and others can be added to it during a year. It’s generally a lot more accurate from September time and there’s also other retirement lists out there. The only sure fire way we can see what’s retiring is when Lego put sets on the ‘last chance to buy’ section of their website.

Thanks bro appreciate it

And what sites or apps are you selling your legos investments on bro?

@@Brickzfosho Currently I sell on eBay, even more so we don’t have sellers fees anymore but I’m hoping to sell on Amazon next year 👌🏼

😮 that’s a bit of a drive, especially as it can be hit or miss. Great buy on the Dark Falcon, I think I was on holiday at the time and missed that one. Game were doing the same

Cheers Matt I had to do a double take when I saw the deal. When I went to some other stores, there were tickets for sets that were £60 down to around a tenner that somebody got a steal on. Wow you got 9!! That’s Mega. I can’t see the Cantina doing anything but go up in value with those 9 exclusive figs 😁

the deals in germany are insanely good. for example, the cantina was 266EUR at galeria throughout the whole last year.

Many thanks 🙏 I’m still investigating wide at this stage, about 50 SKUs this year. If you’ve seen my Top 10 video, it’ll show you what I’ve been targeting. I’ll do a round up video at the end of the year to show exactly what I’ve been buying and the quantity.

All trash.

Thank you so much again for your kind words Matt. I’m putting you down as my number 1 Fan 😁 I just love that Ferrari 812. Where did you grab yours from and what was the deal? It looks like on Amazon it’s selling 2,000 units a month which is more than any other Speed Champion currently (winning) I love that it has a shorter shelf life than 3 of the others that were extended to a 3 year shelf life, and with next year being Lego’s year of F1, I’m sure the buzz of Lewis Hamilton signing for Ferrari will leak into the whole Ferrari brand.

@@historex54tamiya I had to look the term up 😂 You can double your money in less than a year.

@@The_Brick_Side Yeah, and it shows the selfish side of collecting. Why would you allow anyone else to buy one, or two, when you can clear up and then charge double? . As said, a scalper, fortunately it is frowned upon by many serious collectors and will get you banned on many forums, thankfully!

@@historex54tamiyaMany thanks for your view and comment, it really helps the channel 👍🏼 The Dragon Monster Trucks have been on this great deal on Argos for many months now, I’ve just chosen to grab myself 10. Anybody has the opportunity to make the same purchase and they’re regularly back in stock. These sets don’t double in value instantly, it takes time and storage which I pay for to create a chance for somebody down the line the opportunity to purchase a brand new and retired Lego set. Most of the stock I buy is from Amazon where my purchases are a drop in the ocean. Fortunately any forum I’d like to take part in would be ‘Lego Investing’ forums 👌🏼

@@Bricks-30 Many thanks for the comment. I have thought about it but I think I’ll stick selling on eBay / Amazon for now. I would consider it if I were to do it as a full time business in the future 😁

​@@The_Brick_Side I was thinking they suit me & you (part timers) lol due to them being at the weekend & you're able to shift a large amount of stock in one day (hopefully)

@@davidmccoid2704 These GWPs were from the beginning of the month. I think the pumpkin 🎃 promo ended on today’s date where the Brite Bomber ended on the 7th

I’d love to give you an exact timeframe. I’ve had orders cancelled before where the orders have been to close. I’d guess somewhere between 2-3 months, but as I say when a set goes out of stock and then return to stock it seems to reset the system too.

@@mikeearl4675 Thank you for your comment and yes a very valid point here. I always feel there’s a worry when too many KZbinrs are talking about or hyped about the same sets. I made mistakes last year buying sets based on too many people rating a set as their number 1. Like all Lego investing, this will come down to supply versus demand. With BrickHeadz, you’re looking at Lego store / Lego.com exclusivity (not available anywhere else) so you’re very limited as to how many of this set you can pick up. I don’t think it’s widely known you can ‘beat the system’ and order more than your quantity limit (usually 5) after a certain time, or after a set returns to stock after it’s sold out. We know BrickHeadz can do very well in retirement and I know 1st hand all retired LOTR sets have smashed it in the secondary markets…

@@jedibrick2937 Thanks Matt. I’m trying to get a new video out every Saturday now. The image quality of this one looks a lot better on the big screen, the lighting really helps. Sounds like a Super Saturday. We were at a wedding last night with a banging full English this morning to enjoy, now enjoying a very decent glass of red. Wait you have 50 of the Brite Bombers? Or 50 LOTR BrickHeadz sets? The one thing that makes me think the Brite Bomber will stay as a GWP is the boxes! They’re a different size to regular BrickHeadz boxes.

@@The_Brick_Side I have 50 of the Bright Bomber and approx 20 each of the LOTR Brickheadz. I only really started investing in Brickheadz in the last couple of years. Cheap to buy and if you can hold on to them for a few years they can be a nice little earning 🤞 Your videos are brilliant please keep them up. I really enjoyed the loft storage one you did a week ago. My 11 year old daughter will be building the pumpkin GWP today🤠 Thanks again

@@jedibrick2937 Wow! I take it you didn’t make 50 orders over £80 to get your 50, but orders through eBay etc? I love BrickHeadz too, I’ve invested in 26 different BrickHeadz lines both this year and last. My biggest quantity from last year was Woody and Bo Peep when they dropped to £12.59. I sold a set on FB last week and the lady was looking at my sonic BrickHeadz and didn’t have a clue what they were. I guess it’s the same for a lot of people if the don’t have a Lego store local or use the website. Thanks for the kind words. I really wanted to make my own content after I started watching all the other investing videos. Where do you keep all your Lego? It sounds like you have a lot!

@@The_Brick_Side I bought most of the Bright Bomber off eBay and a few more. There only around £10-£12 ish bargain if Lego do not release them . I’m currently running out of room for storage. My parents has a large house and there loft is full I live in a 5 bed house and we arss ex moving to a bigger place soon fingers crossed . It’s all very well buying this stuff but to store it is a nightmare 🤣

@@LubosProkop I’m glad there are people out there who aren’t as sure about the Sonic BrickHeadz, if we all thought a set was going to be a home run it would lead to a saturation of that set into retirement. I’m a big sonic fan so I’m ruling with ‘heart’ for this one. 40676 - The Phantom Menace. Yes I have 9 of these sets which I picked up in May when we got the Trade Federation Troop Carrier GWP which created a really good discount for them. I’ll only grab more if they’re discounted online but that never happened for us last year in the UK 🇬🇧 with the Heroes of Endor pack unlike 🇺🇸

@@Scotty_in_Ohio Take the sail barge for example, what a good GWP the lightsaber was fetching between $100 to $200 your end. I would’ve been very tempted had the sail barge been cheaper in the first place.

@@mpc007 🤣 yeah I feel you and totally get where you’re coming from. It’s when you start to sell retired for a lot more profit when things really start to get interesting. It’s not a lot of work for what can be a lot of profit

@@DrDraePhD I certainly have mate. I just took a look at my eBay purchase history, it was 500 sachets I purchased for just £10.99. I spread them like seeds

@@The_Brick_Side that's a helluva deal. Thank you for sharing!

@@matthewblainey1598 I’ve stored Lego sets in boxes in the loft for years with no problems 👍🏼 I wouldn’t recommend doing this if you suffer with any damp issues in your own loft.

Another really valid point here. Time has been the best test for me here. I’ve stored some Lego sets in our loft and our previous loft for years. I sold a number of used sets last May and I’m happy to report all boxes and sets were unaffected by extreme heat or cold conditions. I guess everybody’s lofts will be different. If you have moisture leaking in, the loft may not be an option for you.

@@qualitytickets3889 This is a really valid question. If there is an answer, it’s not something I actually researched. Luckily Lego isn’t all that heavy so I’m not overly concerned. With the weight I have here, I’m essentially strengthening the roof and keeping it down. I wouldn’t recommend storing anything too heavy on these shelves though.

Many thanks to you. I’ve often watched Lego investing videos and thought, “where’s that presenter storing all this” so I thought I’d share where and how I store the bulk of mine. A few cupboards are also pretty full of Lego 😂 I’ve sold on eBay for years and pride myself on 100% positive feedback. I’ve pondered doing this full time one day which lead me to Amazon where it’s easier to sell multiple copies of the same set. Again there’s a lot to weight up here. To start I’ll need a computer and a printer where I’ve got away without so far with just a phone+ iPad, then there’s the inflated prices that are achievable with high costs against lower eBay fees but lower sales prices. A lot for me to consider and weigh up. I think regardless I’ll still sell larger sets on eBay where I’d pay a lot to have them shipped to Amazon as single items where postage is spread when you’re sending lots of smaller sets altogether. There’s a lot to say about selling on FB Marketplace so I’ll probably make a video about it in its own.

Many thanks for tuning in again Matt. I’m from Gloucestershire, a bit further up north from you. You can never get enough storage right. I hope you’ll be filling all those extra spaces with great Lego sets 😁 we moved back in 2021 so we had more space for our growing family, back then I had no idea I’d be doing this!

@@TaggyTots I’ve found the same with the Viking ship too, but it was definitely a listing for it. As I say I was shocked to find it for £160. There were double packs for it too with the 3 in 1 pirate ship and the price for the 2 still seemed to reflect a really high price. Yes it seems like the fees will be much more. Lots to learn and research🧐 any further vids I’ll probably need to factor in a third of the price in fees.

@@The_Brick_Sidefor sure it would have been someone who’d listed it for a higher price, £109 being the cheapest, sometimes Amazon had duplicate listings too for the same product…don’t let this put you off making videos though this is just a small bit of feedback!

@@TaggyTots All taken on board and any feedback appreciated, especially from anybody with experience selling on Amazon.

@@pasa-x3f Pasa my man, many thanks for your comment. We live in a free world, what you watch is up to you my friend. Please feel free to avoid my channel if you didn’t enjoy it 👌🏼

@@cariad4297 Ouch! Thanks for the info. I’ve got a lot to research to do before I sell my 2023 stock. If the fees are that much here, I’ll have to weigh up the lower eBay fees with lower returns against Amazon’s higher fees with inflated prices.

So it's even worse than Steam Community Market lol.

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the content 😁 tune in for more coming soon.

@@loksterchu7398 I’ve never seen the Starfighter that low, but kudos if you have. £31! I thought my find at £33 was really good and I wouldn’t grabbed Cashback on top of that price too, plus credit card Cashback.

@@loksterchu7398 Yes 100% onboard with City Gardens. Last time I looked on Smyths Toys, they were selling out very quickly where they’re a fair bit cheaper.

@@loksterchu7398 Absolutely and yes apologies, the figures aren’t an exact science, just a rough idea for now. Fracturing in postage, I guess it’s better to ship off a lot of smaller sets to spread the cost rather than 1 big set.

@@The_Brick_Side I take it you are ungated?

@@loksterchu7398 Sorry what does that mean?

@@The_Brick_Side my reply keeps getting deleted!

@@jasonmcbride1703 Awesome. There’s quite a few sets that almost made this list too like the police station. I’m still a bit shocked about the JP set. Great you picked up most of these too

A few great choices there. Apart from the Llama, you could find the other 2 sets with at least 1/3 off. It does show you that on occasion, it can be worth paying full RRP/ MSRP for the right set.

@@The_Brick_Side Totally agree 💯 Especially the Brickheadz set, hard to get discounted price

@@Mah_Bricks I almost ordered some more BrichHeadz this morning but then stopped myself as there’s no GWP at the moment. Thats the only real way you can get a ‘discount’ as such or when you get 2X Insiders. A number of retiring BrickHeadz were discounted last December, but not all of them.

@@The_Brick_Side true!!! Be patient is the key

Thank you. This little wireless microphone seems to be working fairly well, it wasn’t great clipped onto my t-shirt on my last video. The audio sounds better just holding it. I’ve actually ordered a proper desk microphone 🎙️ but Amazon now says it won’t be here until next month.

@@The_Brick_Side Yeah i know, it sounded like it was still taking your voice from the other device. I was about to tell u hahaha

@@LubosProkop I’m still new to this so any feedback whether positive, negative or constructive is appreciated. Hopefully the desk microphone 🎙️ will get the audio right on point.

Thank you for the comment. Having been an eBay seller for many years, there’s a lot I will need to learn about selling on Amazon between now and around this time next year when I intend to send off my stock in time to re-stock around Black Friday 2025. I’ve used Amazon prices as I intend on selling the majority of my stock using them, where I’ve just purchased 1 or a few sets I’ll use eBay. The maths for this video isn’t an exact science, I’ll need to factor in a higher platform fee but as the only variable, the current placings shouldn’t change👌🏼

@@ojplayz8940 haha. Unfortunately that’s a KZbin thing, I have no control over adverts in my videos, sorry.

@@arnoldmason4628 Many thanks for your kind comment and apologies the video quality wasn’t as good on this one. I’d love to get a decent camera and laptop for the future to improve the quality. I can’t wait for Black Friday and beyond to see the deals we get this year. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my purchases 😁
