General Buying & Selling

Not sure if this is a topic that already exists somewhere else or if it belongs here (I did a search already), but the users here whom have stores, can you tell us if you take payments using a credit card reader? If so, which service have you found works best? Pay Pal, Square, your bank or some other? Just curious, since I plan on selling from home or when I'm on the go at a tradeshow or something... Thanks!

I ordered some thing from firestartoys.com has any one else used them before? I also have

Hey all, I am new to lego and I am in my early 40's. I would like to build skyscrappers and would like to order the bricks that I need and not buy colourful lego sets. Do you guys have any tips on where to start and what to do ? Should I build using 1x4 or 2x4 ? What is the most economical way to build skyscrapers ? What's the most intelligent and cost efficient way to build with windows ? Thank you for your time

There are a few sets that I want, but I am curious if there might be better deals on these to come later this year? 75017 Duel on Geonosis (haven't seen it less than $36) 75020 Jabba Sail Barge (haven't seen it cheaper than $75-$80) 75021 Republic gunship (Some Walmarts at $79) 76006 Iron Man Seaport battle (I'm assuming this might be Walmart/target summer clearance?) 6860 Batcave (will this last until Christmas?) 9516 Jabba's palace (My local Wal-mart has 5, but still at $119 and I check the app every day) Thanks for any input. I wasn't keeping up last year during the best deals like black Friday/cyber Monday and wonder if any of these will be as av…

Are Lego sets just in general worth more money when they are put together or are the worth more when there taken apart and in bags?

I spoke with someone who is willing to let me sell his Lego for a cut of the profit. about 100 minifigs and some boxed sets. Anyone done this before? What is a reasonable % for me to get for selling and shipping for him?

If I refund a buyer money, is that factored into my total sent to the IRS at the end of the year? Or do I have to write it off as a loss? Are partial refunds treated differently?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a recommendation after buying my first Lego investment - Tower bridge (in storage). I am Uk based and have around

As the holiday season overwhelms us with it's buying frenzy it brings with it selling season. I watch day in and day out as we buy and sell like brokers at the brick exchange. I gorge myself on holiday deals bat caves, Mixels and hunting down rare missed or returned sets. Then comes the thrilling part selling it. I watch my iPhone like a blue haired retiree from Boca Raton in Vegas, waiting for the cha-Ching. Sadly my listings expire no takers and then comes the hard part stuck to my price point, or compromise it for the thrill of the quick sale. It's the age old battle of that quick rush or the long rewarding was it. Ironically this is the American mercantile drea…

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

I have a 16 oz scale that I have been using forever and I love it. Whenever I had a larger package I would run to the PO weigh it and come home to print the label. Was never really and issue as I normally make 2 trips to the PO everyday. I am about to start selling some LEGO product and these little pieces weigh a ton! I am finally going to take the plunge and get a decent scale to sell larger items. I looked at Amazon, which of these would you recommend? Weigh Max - $18.54 http://www.amazon.com/Weighmax-Digital-Postal-Scales-Shipping/dp/B003ZJQ5RU/ref=pd_sbs_indust_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=138HN69VR6MYZZTZGNN7 Accuteck - 17.99 http://www.amazon.com/Ac…

I recently bought a lot that included almost all of the parts for a set still sealed in the original bags. I would like to find a source for the other bags of parts so that I can package them together as a "new" set, but am not sure how to find someone selling in this manner. I am sure that people part the set out for sale on BrickLink, but I am not sure how to interrupt them in the process of parting out the set in order to get the full bags. Anyone have thoughts on methods to do this?

This is my 4th year doing this, and I've noticed that when the Black Friday deals were plentiful (i.e. last 2 years), there wasn't as much clearance items. Black Friday 2017 was pretty good in that I found lots of stuff at over 30% off, while many of the sets I liked were hovering around 20% off or less in 2018. However, I did like all the deals on the exclusives this year. It seemed in my first year, the deals seemed to be coming out of the woodwork after Black Friday and after Christmas. I wonder if it will be that way this year, with lots of stuff on clearance. Any thoughts?

Have to move.There is no room in the new house for the collection.It consists of 336 sets.The sets are all sealed and new in box.I am selling as one big lot. All the sets are not in the photos too many,Message if any interest.The range on Lego.com was around $27,000 and Amazon $28,000.This check was before the price hikes. I would like to sell the collection for $16.500.

I was shopping in Tesco today and noticed they had lego on the clearance isle. Thought I might get a good deal. They had about 10 9469s here reduced from

Sorry if there is already a thread on this, but I have made my first sale on Bricklink, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to go about it now and I was hoping some seasoned bricklinkers can help me out. Someone wants to buy a lot of bricks, and it looks like now I have to send them an invoice? But shipping rates are not agreed upon beforehand (like on ebay)? So do I have to send them an Paypal invoice with the shipping cost included, and then send out the stuff when it goes through?

Been collecting lego since I was a young kid I know have way to much and no space to build very interested in selling. All sets packed into over 60 44L storage containers and 60 smaller containers , also comes with instructions. Also have special collector edition items. If interested feel free to contact me and can provide more details.

I ordered something on bricklink March 6 from England it, and says it has shipped but i still haven't received it yet. I don't know how much it weighed but it was $5.50 for shipping. How long does it usually take for something to get to the U.S. from England?

Hello everyone! I need help with finding a site or a good place to sell vintage collectors legos. So if possible, please list good sites or places to sell them. Also, if any of you are interested in knowing what these sets are, just say so in the comments or replies. But please, please, please help with site finding. Attached to this "document" is a picture of one of my sets That set is set #6981. I have over 15 sets with boxes that are ready to be sold. But please help with finding good sites. Thanks!

Hi I just have a quick question for anyone willing to reply, from the pictures of the 2016 lego star wars sets we see that 75136 and 75138 are close to lego sets that we've seen before.I have the droid escape from 2012 I believe and the echo base from 2009. Would now be the best time to sell these? as new versions of these sets will be coming out soon. And will the value go down for these older sets?

Quick question, does anyone know where the L motor (the new one that comes in the 4x4 Crawler, 9398) is for sale? I can't find them anywhere vice in that set, or a couple make shift power functions kits. Thanks in advance!

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

So I am all excited because I have just received a MISB SSD for less than retail Price (2013 seals). Now comes the complicated bit which is trying to sell it. I realize that patience is a virtue for this type of set so I plan to advertise it late next year around the launch of the new film. What I am a little concerned about is selling single items worth more than 700 euros on EBay as up until now I have been in the sub 200 market. I have read some great selling advice on this forum such as making sure to get signed delivery, insuring the shipment, not accepting home collection and blocking buyers with poor account history or from certain countries. …

Happy December! It's that happy time of year when desperate parents pay ridiculous prices because they waited to buy that Lego set that sold out. I thought it would be good to start a thread where we can track what sets are spiking so that if you need to cash out on a few sets, you can make the best decisions. So far, I've sold my 4204 The Mine sets that I picked up on the $40 Walmart pricing error. They went for ~$140 apiece. At retail price, not the best profit, but I only bought them to flip quickly so I was happy with that one. The 9455 Ninjago Fangpyre Mech is trading at around $35. Again, not the biggest return on retail, but I picked up a bunch of these …

I have a UCS Falcon 75192 new in the box for trade. I am looking for any buildings in the creator modular series. I value the Falcon at $800.
