Spelunkin_Paul Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Found this lot on Craiglist for $500....Lots of older Star Wars. I can't tell which theme is on the far right, yellow labels. What do you think of this find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 World racers maybe. Can't really see in iPhone screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spelunkin_Paul Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Yep, the photo quality isn't great. Those are World Racers. Other pictures on the listing show nicely sorted out Lego pieces. Will have to contact if everything is complete as it isn't stated in the listing. Looks to be about 100 sets or so, working out to around $5/set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I don't usually deal with used but that sounds incredibly cheap to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spelunkin_Paul Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 I haven't delved into used sets either, but if I can grind thru a slow flip, it might be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickMarket Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Looks like there is some decent value there if the sets are mostly complete and in good shape. I would run it through the lot calculator if you can make out some of the set #'s (the pic is too blurry on my phone). Based on previous experience with lots of that size, I would be a buyer at $300ish based on the amount of work involved in pulling sets out, cleaning, assembling and listing them, not to mention the high probability of missing pieces.

Ciglione Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Bought such a lot once. It turned out to be alot of work, too much work, to clean and sort everything. Many sets turned out to be complete or almost complete. But many also were not. It takes alot of time to sell used sets. Especially the non-popular ones. Yes, I made money on the lot eventually. But I will never do it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at some of the Star Wars that I can make out, it would be a lot of work for profiting off of used sets. No guarantees of complete sets. hmmmmm......probably gonna stick with new sets. Thanks for the input everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I would be all over that lot...for $200-$250. As is its a bit high for what's pictured. Incidently, for the sets that I can id the best selling one is a city set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migration Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 One thing to keep in mind about that set, the plane makes up the majority of the value. If you make a play for this, make sure the plane is included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdfan Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I will never understand the people that post pics of Lego they wanna sell. How about inside the containers. Hey, here's a pic of the closet they're in or a pic of the house they're in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
