brjedi Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I've been collecting LEGOs for around 10 years now, and I think it's finally time for me to sell them. I made a spreadsheet with all of the sets I have and their retail prices. It came out to be $4,500. I'm wondering how I could go about selling all of these. - They are all in large tubs, not assembled or sorted. - I probably only have 95% of the pieces of all of these sets. How would I go about selling these in bulk, and how much do you think I could get for them? Thank you, - brjedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_rpg Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hello and welcome. This question has been asked a lot. The answer is usually: if you want to get max profit, don't sell in bulk. If you do decide to sell in bulk, be prepared to get a signifcantly lower price for your stuff. As for places to sell, there's the obvious ones like eBay, Craigslist,etc. but you can check out Brick Classifieds, Bricklink and Brickowl as well. I suggest putting them up on Brick Classifieds and seeing if anyone here is interested in buying them. You have some nice sets, so it shouldn't be a problem finding a buyer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand on that, if you sell them unsorted, you will likely get paid by the pound because someone else will have to do the work of sorting, inventorying, and cleaning your bricks. If you want full value for each set you'll have to sort, inventory, clean, and package them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix_2k1 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The other thing I would say is it looks like your quoted prices are from bnib listings which command a huge mark up due to rarity. Yours are used, unsorted, not guaranteed to be complete, and I'm guessing without boxes? I would lower your expectations on potential sale price, a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yep. Your in price per kilo/pound land with that lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Take total, divide by 5, and it may be getting close. Assuming you have directions for all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
