    As a reference goodwill hardly if ever puts out these products in stores that arent in the middle of nowhere. I on occasion go to Goodwills on a lego lookout and haven't found any in the past few years since Goodwill Auctions became a thing. I believe they now have some kind of rule to put these things on the auction site to sell instead.
    Yeah, because people insanely overpay on LEGO lots from Goodwill. Im guessing some may do it becasue it is a charity, but some of the bids are just crazy

    Geographically, where are you?
    i know the northwest goodwills do this
    but in my area (NorCal) they don’t.
    however, they did open up a boutique that focuses on the higher end stuff they get in. Though Lego from Target hasn’t been seen there...

    Holy hell yes. I'd say maybe about once a week I check the auction site - but never have I ever seen something even remotely worth buying at the price being bid at. 

    Last night a bundle of Star Wars Minifigs - about 2ish pounds I think sold for over 1000. From my quick scan through there wasnt any crazy desirables either like CC Boba Fett etc.

    Rats. Another state that has a Goodwill consolidating their Lego to sell online.

      The Goodwill auction site (like Fight Club) is best not talked about, fewer bidders equals less competition. But I suppose the cat is out of the bag. Two years ago good/incredible deals were plentiful from that site- but lately not so much. For instance I once bought about 30lbs of Lego (which included the Black Seas Barracuda) for $40.
      I will say that the secret to that site is to only bid on local auctions. They always overcharge for shipping. If you do a local pick up you can save around $20 which makes your price per pound much more reasonable. Also be sure and look through all the photos. I've gotten some very rare/expensive parts for practically nothing because the pictures were blurry or buried in a stack of pictures that other bidders didn't bother to analyze. But things have changed over the past year, most auctions have been bought by others for stupidly high amounts. Although I have still been lucky and won auctions for good parts at around $3 a pound.
     I keep a bookmark to the site that is limited to the store I can do a local pickup from. I don't bother looking at other stores. I also have a dollar limit in mind that I simply won't bid higher than. I consider myself lucky when it works out in my favor, I have had some really good luck. I've also kicked myself for not bidding a few dollars more.

    Remember the days when lego clearance was lucky to make it past the first weekend?  Still seeing Star Wars, Girls Super Heroes & Ninjango  stuff on clearance in the stores.

    @Tkatt, you’re referring to Goodwill sites but not their affiliated EBay stores/accounts right?
  • TkattTkatt Member Posts: 472
    ^Yes, Goodwill has their own independent auction site. If you search Lego you'll get results from locations all across the country, but you can filter results to only see things you can pick up locally.

    As have I.

    No Christmas/Halloween like dividers. Just laid flat, chilling on the Valentine's rack.

    Weird issue at Target tonight, was just walking through and figured I'd give one more pass for clearance.  Saw #21123 Minecraft Iron Golum for $10.28 on the shelf tag.  Scanned it on the app and it came up $7.28, scanned it on the isle scanner and it said item not found.  Took it to the register and it wouldn't scan but she scanned it with her phone and said it was regular price $19.99.

    She ended up giving it to me after I showed her me scanning it on the Target app but it was strange having all those different price discrepancies on one item checked so many different ways.

    Managed to find the little Pug poly in the Valentine section as well.

    Had a similar experience with #75901 a few weeks ago. It was in a returns cart and I asked about it, which the guy said I'd have to talk to the service desk about since it wasn't in the system anymore. The manager then asked me how much I thought it should be and I said $10. She said since it seemed like a reasonable price I could have it for that. I figure that's pretty YMMV. 

    At another Target I saw a #10669 on the shelf for $6 but it was opened and had no Minifigures and had a mix of pieces with a 2nd different instruction book. Seems like they take just about anything back after Christmas.

    I see a #42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator with a banged up box, selling with an 'as is' label for $96 at a Target here in MO. Seems to be complete. Thoughts? I'm not a technic fan, but that sort of discount might tempt me.

    I was thinking if nothing else, it might be a good investment to buy and then flip it.
  • samiam391samiam391 Member Posts: 4,486
    Buy it and give it to me if you don't want it.

    For $96 I'd just build it. It look extraordinary.

  • FizyxFizyx Member Posts: 1,332
    It's a really neat build, and the finished vehicle is just fantastic.  My only complaint is that the functions can be a little jerky due to the size/complexity, but that is a minor complaint at it's worst.  In my opinion the set is worth more than $200 easily, so for 96... I would have gotten another one :P

    That is a sleeper area for Batman/DC sets: endcap of DVD section, facing comic book/pop culture wall.

    Yup. I just found it by accident while looking at DVDs. Didn’t previously know they had a comic book/pop culture section.

    Just the opposite of a deal: the recent Lego Technic Hook Ladder #42084 is listed on Target.com for $19.99, but on [email protected] and WM, it's the MSRP of $14.99.

    I kept trying to find a ladder on that....
    Anyway, I’m guessing after a month or two they’ll mark this as “Price Reduced” and it will be RRP. If I recall correctly, they did that with #31066.

    I looked through those Goodwill auctions....I don't get it. The prices are way out of line from more active markets like bricklink and ebay. It doesn't make sense. There are very few buyers active on there but they are competing against each other and raising the prices sky high. Plus you can tell that the Goodwill stores were given instructions to pick out all minifigures and sell the rest as bulk, without even figuring out if they have rare sets worth more all grouped together. One auction you can see part of the emerald night in....but its divided across several high shipping cost auctions. It seems like they only have a vague idea of what they are doing. Plastic bag stuffed full of vintage star wars figures listed only as "Lot of space figures", no seperate pictures, no shot of everything laid out. Original Goodwill price tag on the bag saying '4.95'. It just seems thrown together....I would love to see how many people score any real finds off that site

    I had some luck a few years ago - got Bespin Luke and Leia (and a bunch of other figs) in a mostly reasonably priced lot. Also got an Eiffel Tower with box at a reasonable price.

    I have had a few really good deals from the Goodwill site. The best included the Black Seas Barracuda and about 15 lbs bulk random bits for $45. The BSB was missing a few parts though.  But I haven't had much luck over the past year. 

    A Goodwill thread is a good idea. Last week I picked up 12 of the Cpt. Salazar Brickheadz for $3 each. I left another 12 there. I could/should have posted about them.
  • datsunrobbiedatsunrobbie Member Posts: 1,813

    Most Goodwill finds worth mentioning will probably show up in the "brag" thread, along with the other one-off deals that people have found.

    I've seen the hot dog stand at three separate Target stores (in Dallas) the past few days.  They were in the Lego section at each store.  I have kids, so we go a lot when they are in town.

    See #41133 15% clearance, 30 maybe
  • MegtheCatMegtheCat Member Posts: 500
    My store put the 2 polys in a rack at the end of the regular Lego aisle. Maybe they don't want to have to clearance them after Easter? A different store had a whole box of the Cute Pug polys last Wednesday after Valentine's - on Target's usual 30% off on seasonal items.
