So I have a ton of mini figs sorted by theme and I was wondering if someone could share some insight as to what they have found is the best way to sell minifigs? I have been selling smaller organized by theme lots on E-Bay but i'm not sure that is the most productive way to sell them. I thought about a BrickLink store but I was wondering how much luck you guys have had selling them individually through B-Link. Any insight would be much appreciated as I have a ton of figs and trying to maximize both my time and return. Also if someon is looking for specific figs feel free to reach out to me as I may have what you are looking for and I'm happy to help out.

Just wanted to get this out there - in Feb, 2019 I purchased what was supposed to be a new Lego Brick Bank. I received it, checked the seals (which looked ok) and stored it. Last week I opened it to build and found about 40 unnumbered bags, including a used Zip lock bag, none of which included actual Lego bricks. The instruction manual appeared to be original but nothing else was. I contacted Ebay but the seller had been suspended. Ebay refused to provide any contact info for the seller. The seller's name is yulikar87. So...anyone who purchased Lego from this seller from Ebay might want to take a close look at what you bought. Good luck.

Is anyone using their own Python webscraping to look for online deals? I was thinking of paying someone to build something for me. The paid versions I think are geared towards the developers making the most money possible, and not so much about you finding all the deals - plus they scrape so much so often, that they probably have to scrape less often than an individual would to keep them from getting banned. I would love to hear someone's thoughts or experiences. I'm also open to collaboration.

Hi, I'm trying to build a city and want to buy more than a few baseplates. Amazon has a good price, but their quantity limit is 3. Does anyone know when that limit resets so I can make another purchase? A week? A month? The Lego website has a quantity limit of 50 per household, I'm not going to be buying that many, but wondered if that is a hard, lifetime limit, meaning each one I purchase is a countdown to eventually 0 quantity allowed. Do the purchase quantity limits reset on the Lego website? If so, how long does it take? Any answers would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Edit: I'm only using one account for each site, I don't want to risk being …

I have been shipping with USPS for 95% of the time. Now Stamps.com had UPS now, and the shipping cost is a lot cheaper than USPS from east to west. So I love the stamps.com insurance. But now if I switch to UPS, they dont have insurance. Only declared value. So, for the seller that use UPS/Fedex a lot to sell high value lego, do you put more on the declare value. UPS said declared value not insurance. So, do you have to buy insurance from third party? What's your advise on declare value and insurance. Thank you

I'm a collector in South Florida, you're probably a flipper, so if I'm going to sell it makes sense to sell to you now before the holidays. 112 unique sealed sets. I'll send the excel sheet. Brick has it at $5800 (I paid $6300 in non-retail prices), but at least 20 sets do not have prices. Your offer needs to have a 4 in front of it. Pickup and pay in-person only. Here's a preview of some of my big sets: 10188-1: DEATH STAR 10236-1: EWOK VILLAGE 70620-1: NINJAGO CITY 70840-1: WELCOME TO APOCALYPSEBURG! 70922-1: THE JOKER MANOR 71016-1: KWIK-E-MART 71042-1: SILENT MARY 75810-1: THE UPSIDE DOWN 75098-1: ASSAULT …

I finally bought it! This was my first and only "big" LEGO set as a child. Everything else was scrounged from a Happy Meal or hustled off some neighborhood kid for pennies on the dollar. My dad would only buy me Joe's, because they were the real American heroes. That flip lid means so much to me. I remember hanging out in the stores and that little plastic window gave me a glimpse into another world. LEGO made the best box art too. It actually represented what was in the box and provided the same excitement. Do you remember the Nintendo box art? Some of the best until you actually played the game. Man, what a let down lol! I'm interested to see others …

Bear with me here. The last few weeks, I've been learning about the buying and selling of bourbon, mostly online for the selling, in private facebook groups. It's basically gambling. I've been wondering about doing this for Lego. What they do is the owner of a bottle posts it for sale, say Sunday morning. Ten different people buy a number, 0 through 9, for a stated price. Each buyer of a number sends money to the seller via Paypal or Venmo. Then that evenings Illinois Lottery Fireball number is the winner. The seller and winner exchange address, and the seller pays for shipping. So the buyers take a 1 in 10 shot they'll get the bottle(s) for 10% of it's v…

So.. we are virtually lockd down due to the covid-19 scare. Thus I have also some time to clean out the attic and there is some 70s and 80s lego there. So i put some up for sale, put have no idea what this realistically would be worth. So I figured I would ask if any of you can give an idea what I may expect to get for this stuff. It is generally rails and carriages. But there is also a Box of technical lego (somewehere...). I will add some fotos. Any help is much appreciated Best, Michael

So I'm considering joining FBA for the first time, reviewed their intro emails, etc. and am generally on board but had a question about sending packages to Amazon. They indicate I can choose between having Amazon label the items on receipt, or I can do it myself. Given that I am selling Lego and other toys, I am concerned that many buyers often prefer to receive the toys without any stickers, etc. Does Amazon attach a sticker to the package itself? If so I'd be tempted to send them in already labelled assuming I could bubble wrap the item and then attach the label to that. But would Amazon have issues with that? Just curious what the best practice is for you pros.

I noticed that 40337 -- Mini Gingerbread House -- has a new labeling scheme. The plant/manufacturing code has 5 digits -- mine reads "140R9" But what was interesting (troubling) is that there is a QR code and 6-digit number. The two boxes I received from the brick and mortar store were consecutive numbers as well. I'm not going to give away my numbers, but they were both between 1000 and 2000. I see a listing on ebay right now with a picture showing a number in the 7000's. The B&M stores likely only scan the UPC, but SAH could potentially track the serial number to the order and look carefully at ebay listings. Not sure if this is the new no…

Hope this is ok to post here, feel free to move if needed. Purchased a #75192 MF from Blinq a little while ago. Due to our recent move hadn't really looked at it much other then to glance over it at receipt. LEGO box was in good shape, seals were open as was listed, boxes inside were mint, bags inside boxes were sealed. Just went to get it out and look it over better and all the guts (bags/instructions/decals) were fake Chinese knockoffs! I'm just over the 30 day easy return period and Blinq doesn't have a phone or chat service! Just sent an email so we will see how they respond or when but I'm thinking of doing a chargeback as well just in case they don't r…

Hi Guys Been collecting for several years now , think 2014 I started and wondering if there is a market for bulk buying? so my brickfollio says its value is $86k but I bet I have another 20k or more to add to that as I stopped adding to my brickfollio about 3 years ago, my fault I just got caught up with work and other things and lost track. I have a pretty diverse collection and of course some turkeys too like Tumblers and what not. I understand whoever buys it would be looking to resell it but wonder what sort of price I might get or if I should try sell it individually eBay/Amazon which was my original idea...ahh great plans :-). Not in a major hurry to ge…
