Huge LEGO collection (1978-2014 – 2000 sets) for sale. WOW!


Recommended Posts

Wow! Someone in Belgium is selling a HUGE collection of LEGO, ranging from 1978 to 2014, and more than 2000 sets and weighing more than 1000 kg!

His minimum price is €40,000 for the whole lot and he doesn't want to split it up.

I've sometimes really wondered people's motivations for selling stuff like this in one huge lot.  I can understand for stuff like cards, or other small space items, but Lego takes up so much space, who the hell is the target person?

Sure, breaking up and selling that many sets individually would be an extraordinary amount of time suck, but it would be infinitely easier to sell them off in chunks.

Or I wonder if sometimes people do this as another way to show off their collection?  I don't know, but either way, that's a hell of a collection!!!!

It goes to 2014 so maybe the original owner died or got sick or something...

OK true, there are situations like that, but in general, that's still insane if they think someone is going to buy 80,000 worth of Legos.  Unless you lived close enough to rent a semi, you couldn't really reasonably ship that stuff at all, so your market is practically non-existent.
