General Buying & Selling

Hello, I'm in possession of lego system sets from 1950/60s and would like to know if anyone have any information about these sets(valuation, rarity, intersted lego enthusiasts etc.) that would be great, because I'm looking for the best market to sell them. Also they are in great shape, see it yourself.

Hi, I am new to selling lego sets and was just looking for advice. Specific Advice. I have a few 8129-1: AT-AT Walker and according to this website the average selling price right now is about 250. 1. Should I think about selling my 8129s this Christmas period? 2. If I should sale them this Christmas period what is a good date to list them? Thanks

Like most of you, I believe, I am new to LEGO investing. I have been watching pretty closely the sets I am most intrested in. Come on, we all think if we like it everyone else should too, right? I am learning that I need to think "out of the box". I have started to buy sets that I really won't enjoy building if I am stuck with, but maybe I can make a little money for myself to spend on the sets I want to build. Thank goodness I have Grandkids that Love Lego. I am intrested in anyones thoughts as to how they decide what to buy. Is it price? Is it just what you like? Do you follow ebay sales? Do you watch Amazon? Do you watch lego.com? Do you listen to what every…

Is anyone else having issues with their paypal account? For the past two days the transactions on my activity page will not fully load. Only the last 10 or so transactions show and then the last line says "unknown" Called paypal and they said it was a known issue for some accounts. They suggested clearing cookies/cache - did not help. They also suggested using a different device, which I did, but the same issue appears across all devices.

Need some advice here guys... I sold a large exclusive set and the buyer has already paid through paypal... the buyer is literally brand new today and has no feedback either... I tried looking up the shipping address through google maps but I can't seem to find the actual residence.... some hwy and apt number. what would you guys do?

I was at the lego store today and they had several sets marked with discounts due to the boxes being damaged. Are these even worth buying for reselling at a later date? The sets I remembered seeing are: 76052 10236 10214 75095 10234 10232

I apparently won the buy box overnight on 40121 Easter, and Amazon sold more than I had. Maybe the velocity was too fast for the inventory tracker to keep up. Does anyone have 2 copies that they would be willing to drop ship for me tomorrow for $30/ea.? Please PM me if you can help. Thx.

I was at TRU yesterday picking up a few polybags. I am always in there checking stuff on my rounds so they know me quite well. I was informed that word had come from corporate stating that they now have a purchase limit of 10 of any one item. She (the manager) advised me it had something to do with resellers. Not there is ever a real opportunity to buy 10 of ANYTHING there, but I am wondering if this ultimately came directly from LEGO.

For several reasons, with which I will not bore you, it is time for me to part ways with this pile of sets. Mainly, and the biggest reason, is that I want to take a break from the investing/reselling game for a while and focus on other endeavors. So for me to do that, as I was told by my father, was to get this stuff out of his basement. A little of everything can be found here, from STAR WARS, Exclusive Minifigs, NINJAGO and more. I've entered the sets into the Lot Calculator on this site. Three times to be truthful, just to triple check myself for any errors. The lot is valued at $12.3K. The price for the lot is $9,000. All sets are factory sealed. All sets are listed b…

Here's one I hadn't seen before. At my local Fred Meyer. Guess I live in a bad neighborhood.

I have just started moving some of my larger sets, and I have decided to place a requirement for signature confirmation. Any thoughts on this? Does anyone else?

Hey, guys, I have bought bricks for MOC here and there and tried a couple of times using bricklink ordering some big chunks of pieces. In general, the sellers are quick in their shipping and handling and I do not seem to have any issue with any. Lately I order two $30-$40 lots and have found something interesting. This seller indicates the shipping/handling takes 5-10 days on the store page. I was okay with it. Given that the pieces I ordered are for some MOC I planned doing for Christmas gift, I placed my order in Oct. Then, I waited 3 weeks before contacting the seller that I did not receive anything yet and finally I received my package sent with a priority 2-day…

So, I sold a set and it was supposed to be delivered on the 15th but I'm getting this "Status Not Updated" message. Do I have any reason to be worried? I appreciate any input, as I'm not terribly familiar with USPS's standard of service.

Kind of like Life Hacks, but pertaining to our beloved hobby, I thought a thread for simple but useful tricks would be cool. I'll start: Make your own mini "space saver" bags with a ziploc and a straw. Put the pieces into the bag, zip it up with the straw barely inside the bag. Then, suck all of the air out of the bag. Quickly remove the straw and zip up that last bit in the same motion. Now, you have a super-skinny airless bag that won't rattle at all when shipped.

I was out running errands and stopped into one of our cities many thrift stores yesterday and in the toy section I saw 5 big bags of Lego sitting there. I have found some Lego recently but nothing like this. So for a grand total of 27.32(give or take a few pennies) I walked out with what is at least 30-35 pounds of the good stuff. I was absolutely stoked! I could tell right off the bat that there was plenty of star wars as well as one bag that had been specifically sorted to have town pieces in it. This is going to take me a while to sift through but based on the minifigs I have found thus far and certain unique parts I have thus far determined that the follo…

Please bare with the long explanation. So I just got into Lego in January when I built a UCS Slave I. I then bought a MF, an IST, a VW T1, and a Mini within the next 3 months. This hobby was getting expensive, so I decided to start buying/selling to satisfy my need to build and bankroll my personal collection, not for long-term investment. So far I've sold a Classic Mr. Freeze that my buddy put on his EBay. I have about $1,500 into 2 bulk lots and other new and used sets. Been using BL and CL so far b/c I'm reticent to use EBay based on all the horror stories on here and eating a hundred dollar set would be a significant blow to my small enterprise So I had a guy c…

I have a 10937 missing the large #1 bag. Other things are all sealed in the original bags, including the instructions and plates. The box itself is damaged so I just put everything in a brown box. In the link below there is pictures showing all the contents. There are supposed to be 2 bags numbered #1. The big one is missing. https://comunidade0937.com/forum/index.php?topic=12431.0 A complete set on amazon is about $260. Any suggestion on where and how much I should sell it for?

I just sold a Gingerbread house on Ebay for $50 plus shipping to someone with 0 feedback who signed up for Ebay today. They paid instantly through paypal and it was not a check. How protected am I in this transaction and would you allow it to go through?

Hi, few hours ago I have just built my first lego set LEGO Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V it was an amazing experience. I would like to build next, please can you suggest me some good lego set? Number of pcs 1500 and more and I would like space theme but When I was searching I did not found anything space themed like NASA Apollo Saturn. Im not big fan of star wars series but maybe it would be okay too. Thank you for every suggestion.

I've had some good luck with kmart.com, and wondered if regular Kmart brick&mortar stores would be a good thing to add to my buying rounds. Do they have a specific day of the week for markdowns or clearance? Anyone have good luck there? Thanks for any help, as always.

I was going to post this tonight, but it looks that they are launching the deal early. Click This Link Then enter in the code JOYLEGO at checkout to get 30% Off Lone Ranger City Galaxy Squad There are limits on some sets.

This may be a stupid question but it was difficult to search for... I'm in the UK so generally look for any offers in Pounds Sterling (£), however seeing an offer for a set in Euros (€) on the French Amazon Store i thought i would have a look. In the UK there is a 21% discount bringing the set to approx. £87, in France the set is discounted by 33% to approx. €80 which is approx. £57 with the exchange rate... My obvious problem is that i don't speak French, however, if i can overcome the language barrier i have a few of questions... Are Boxes and Instructions Universal? or are there language differences? Is it likely that Amazon FR would Ship to …

Had to laugh this morning at the lengths one must go to for the love of the plastic brick... and where my limits end and others obviously don't (possibly why I shouldn't quit my day job...oops too late) !! So there was a Garage sale (translate: yard sale) listed on Gumtree (translate: kinda like craigslist but a bit prettier) last weekend - twas scheduled to occur this morning from 6 am- the headliner item was listed as LEGO (that has gotta mean you have a bunch of it right for it to be the first item listed?). The address was only 3 streets away from me so I was a bit cheeky and text the number 40 minutes after it was listed last weekend to ask what kind of LEGO it w…
