I have a friend here at work that goes to estate sales and auctions almost every weekend.  He's a hidden gem hunter, who flips stuff on EBay, but it's quite a bit of dedication to go to these things every Saturday. 

Anyway, I was on a conference call with him Monday and he said I missed out on a huge collection of LEGO at an estate sale last weekend.  I didn't have much time to talk to him about it then, but I hit him up yesterday.  He said the guy had big sets still sealed, Fire Brigade, R2-D2, Town Hall, etc and tons of sets loose/complete cataloged and bagged.  Apparently his family was careful about going through everything and labeling it appropriately. 

Well, he was telling me the prices the stuff went for and I was shocked.  Honestly, I was kind of relieved I wasn't there, because I would have never paid those prices.  I didn't miss much, as in, I didn't miss some crazy deal.  He said folks usually turn out for good estate sales with a reputable auction company.

My friend never calls me from the sales, although sometimes I wish he did.  I guess this one was in my town.  Actually, it was a guy's collection from the grade above me in high school, someone who I went to church with as a kid who suddenly passed away this year.  Great guy and apparently he had a great collection.

This is how we're all going to go someday.  Well maybe not the "great guy" part for all of us. :)

Sad family members shocked at how much Lego we've accumulated hidden away in nooks and crannies in the house, and how much its all worth.
