No I don't Ebay them. In theory, I buy LEGO when 70% off to just add to the general population of bricks for my kid to use and for me to MOC, but honestly, they end up stacked up in the basement most of the time waiting for me to break open the boxes. We build one, maybe keep one sealed and the rest are in the "gift closet" which I pull out for little gifts or b'day parties. Sometimes I donate some at Christmas time.octick wrote:So you don't Ebay the toys? I can't imagine hoarding any other toys. I have enough Legos to last birthdays for decades if I went that route. But, I just want 1 to save and 1 to build.atmail35 wrote: if you weren't in S. Calif. the other woman could have been me! But i only had one cart with toys. They also had Bizu on 70%, which is a toys 7 year old girls enjoy so I stocked up. I had to then buy some plastic storage totes to hold my new found stuff in the basement )
I have a horrible habit of stocking up on toys that are "cheap". Once a year I cull non-lego as well to donate to Toys for Tots etc. I really need to stop buying for the sake of buying, but somehow I can't pass up a great deal. I always think, "this would be great for my daughter's birthday goody bags", but then I don't know how many to buy etc. and either end up with too few or too many when the time comes.
