General Buying & Selling

Hey guys Does anyone know if these are starting to be faked? I ask because I am able to purchase pretty much every mini figure and block head at a stupid price. I am new to Lego and am not knowledgeable with forgeries. So I guess my question is do these fakes exist? if so is there any way to tell while the characters are sealed in box? Thanks

Anyone buy from this auction site? Reviews on this site are mixed so not sure what to think.

Hi, Since paypal now switches from 45 days for a dispute to a whopping 180 days, and I am generally not eager to pay about 3% of what I get for a buyer protection I don't want, I was looking for alternatives. Going away from paypal is probably not going to work well for most (as it is so well known and "trusted"), but offering an alternative would be nice. Skrill is often mentioned as one of the "bigger" online payment services, at least when I searched for paypal alternatives. Does anybody here use it (regardless whether as buyer or seller), and could share their experience?

Hi all. I am looking to get 1 or 2 more LightMyBricks LARGE minifigure display cases and I was wondering if anyone out there has one that they don't want. The LED's don't need to work, I just want my frames to match and I can't get another one as they're not making them anymore. Please pm me if you've got one. Thanks!

Hi, I just sold a star wars set worth a few hundred dollars (I would prefer not to state which set or the price). However the buyer has zero feedback and a very unusual username, like random characters. Would you be concerned about shipping the item to them? Are there any precautions that you would take? I'm thinking of the shipping insurance, or maybe requiring a signature? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Robert

I am looking to make several orders next month and was wondering the best options to buy and if Lego will flag me for making more than 1 order a day or one every day for a couple of weeks. I was planning on picking up the T1, Sopwith, Horizen, Pet shop, and at least one mini cooper. Have any of you made multiple orders in one day?

Hi All, Can we post sets we are interested in selling on this site? I have a few sets from my childhood I want to sell so I can get into the newer sets but it looks like my earlier post got deleted with no instructions. Just looking for some guidance here. Thanks

Me and my brother were at our parents place when we found out old lego. We opened the first and then nr 2 and at last nr 3. Then I looked at him and asked what he was doing at his free time the next 3 weeks. Today it is 5ish weeks since that day and we are more or less ready with our Castle, Pirates and Western sets. At first we didn't know really what to expect and now we have decided to sell it so that our children can get their own lego experience. We have 5-8 small sets (20-50 pieces) to go but they will be ready in a day or two

Hello, I am new to investing in Lego and I had maybe a little dumb question about mini figures in blind bags. It makes total sense to open each little bag to sell the mini figure inside but are there cases where buyers would actually prefer to buy the sealed bag? If that would be the case, I figure this would be only a minority of potential buyers? Thanks in advance for your recommendations

Not sure where to post this, but I am more of a collector (aka lego hoarder) and while I should probably resell what I have as it's overtaking our house, I've never purchased in insane quantities, sold anything, or otherwise. With the 2x VIP points, I made two orders, one for a Sea Cow and a few friends sets, and another for a Cinema Palace, both shipped to a relative's home as I've done countless times in the past. I don't buy 100 vampire hearses, for instance. To note, I have made about 25~ orders in 2013 to now via lego's site. These two orders were placed and then cancelled and having spent about a half hour on the phone with them, my account was f…

I have a few Amzn returned sets that are partially opened which I want to unload on eBay as used sets. There may be 1 or 2 bags that were opened but most of the bags are still sealed. Some of the sets are missing a few little pieces like 1x4 flats, parts of the base that nobody can see once the build is completed. I can easily replace them with pieces of different colors. But I do not feel like placing a bunch of Bricklink orders to replace something that is not visible at the end. How much of these should be disclosed in my eBay listing? Do I need to list all of the small pieces I replace with different color ? In your experience, are the used set buyers so an…

Have not checked the details, but sounds interesting: http://www.fedex.com/us/onerate/

This will create a LEGO Triangle in Northern Virginia that I can mysteriously disappear in. http://stores.lego.com/en-us/stores/us/pentagon-city

It's not listed on the December calendar like previous VIP pre sales were/are, I'm assuming it's the 16th?

Hi there, I am looking for Lego resellers in US particularly tax free state (you lucky peeps). -I buy Legos in bulk particularly exclusive sets to ship to my country. -I will arrange courier to pickup so all you need to do is get the Lego sets on request, fill some form and package it nicely. -I make full payment before shipping so no worries on your side (although mutual trust will need to be established for first contact) If you are interested, please PM me for further discussion. Thanks.

I’m stressed out- and I know so may of you are too- so to cope, I’ve been on the hunt for a few sets that have eluded me over the years. Great Deals specifically, money is TIGHT 🙃(Now is the time for people in $ pickles to dump collections you know) I collect SW, Architecture, HP, Creator, Ideas... typical collector themes. I also love and collect (old & new) Bionicle and Ninjago. I can’t keep up with every new Ninjago set, so I generally stick to the dragon, mech, and large building sets. Recently I purchased the just released Ninjago Legacy City Gardens 71741, and realized that I never bought the Ninjago Movie City Docks 70657. I do have the Ninjago Movie…

After reading the comments on the purchase thread about the steals at Shopko, and finding myself in a town tonight with a store, I went to check it out. And I had my dad in tow for the senior discount. I could already taste the cash. Uruk Hai Army, $50. Hulk's heli -- wait, what? Uruk ..... Hai .... Army ..... $ .... 5.....0. Then I started noticing other sets priced accordingly. I cursed a few times and stomped out. I also said something like "more criminal than tru".

I just had a $500 order placed from an employee of Legoland on Bricklink The shipping address is Legoland. They have 0 feedback. Am I being trolled?? I looked them up online and they do Lego Leagues.

Don't know how many of you all like eBooks then if you do you may or may not like them on Lego's but get a whole bunch (legally) from $1 or 16 of them for $15. Plus your purchase partially gets donated! https://www.humblebundle.com/books/lego-book-bundle

Hi, sorry for bothering with a beginners question. I started investing into Lego sets about 11 month ago in Nov. 2012. Meanwhile I have stored about 50 MISB sets with a value of about 5000 Euro. Currently I don't have any spare money to invest, so I am considering to start selling some sets and reinvest the money. I don't realy know if this is a good idea or if I should just wait for the prices to go up!? Currently I could sell the following sets with a profit > 50% 2 x 10219 Maersk Train (could sell with 105% profit) 2 x 9496 MF Zombies (could sell with 100% profit) 1 x 10193 Medieval Market Village (could sell with 80% profit) 2 x 21016 Sun…

When ordering from overseas into the US has anyone ever had customs opening up sets and slapping an inspection label? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Brickpicker mobile app

I've tried many times to open up bricklink today but it isn't letting me in and it says to try to reload it. Every other website is working and i reset my router. Is brickilnk working for anyone else?
