Hello all,

hopefully there's a suggestion that helps...my kids (and myself) have over
150 sets all complete that I would like to sell, I can't sort them, its a
ton, currently occupying 4+ 20gl storage containers. Is there any ideas on how
to set a value to this? How/Where to sell it bulk? (I realize im on brick link
lol).

Any ideas or suggestions welcome,


Thank you

Hi,

without knowing what they are, if they are new or not etc. it is hard to estimate
the value of the sets.

Do you have a list of them or any more info?

Upload the list as an attachment (you can upload images, so save it as image)
But as MrPetovan said, the best bet here on BL is to sell it then to someone
by the pound where his pricing seems good.
Personally I would pay between US$ 3-5 per pound, just to give you an idea.

Hi,

here’s the blunt of it: Bricklink isn’t suited for selling in bulk. If you do
not want to make sure your sets are complete or inventory every single part,
your best bet is to sell the whole lot on local marketplaces like Craigslist,
Facebook Marketplace, even NextDoor.

Estimating the worth of a bulk lot without knowing the sets that came into it
and whether there are minifigures or not is futile, but BL sellers usually buy
bulk LEGO by the pound between $2 and $10 per pound.

Bulk? Maybe FB marketplace? But if you're going to sell as bulk, take out
the minifigs and minifig parts and sell them separately (maybe here on BL?).

If selling as mixed up bulk by weight, be careful with your language. Don't
call them all complete unless you have checked this.
