Hi everyone! I'm new to Brick Picker but have been selling my Lego sets on eBay for the past 4 months. I've sold 11 so far, but I have more to put up. Can anyone help me with info on where to sell Lego sets on this site? Thank you so much! Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

So I just started using this app this morning, and I havent been able to reply to anything in any threads. I have already made a post requesting for help, but it didn't work. I was told that I need to make 3 topics to be able to reply, which I did, and it still won't work. Any help from the admins would be greatly appreciated[emoji4] Thanks much This is what I get when I visit my profile on Google Chrome

Hi everybody, my name is Vladimir and I became a Lego enthusiast while my kid grew up and asked for versatile toys to keep his interest active more than the day after opening. Soon we discovered "LEGO Universe" and especially LEGO Mindstorms which is an amazing educational set for all ages. As a result, I'm now teaching young learners to program using LEGO Mindstorms. Besides the technical sets we really love trains especially combined with the Mindstorms that may lead to amazing creations. We also love the big landmarks sets and buildings.

Probably not... To all INvestors and COLlectors within the BRICKPICKER community I say a big "HELLO" from South Africa. I discovered this site on one of my searches, and have really enjoyed what I see and read thus far. I'm very much an AFOL who has wandered about the 'dark ages' for far too long. I related and agreed wholeheartedly with timinchicago's article. A young son (9 weeks old) has stirred my inner strengths and desires to once more BuldIT! Plus, it gives an excellent opportunity to invest both time and money into an area of my childhood which I should never have let slip by so easily. Presently, the awakening I experience is more like a mad/crazy/posse…

Hello fellow lego investors and collectors, I am an AFOL with two children who are addicted as well. I have been stockpiling a portfolio for last three years, and just started to re-sell some of it this christmas season. My early results have been very promising so far. I focus mainly on themed sets such as star wars, super heros, and indiana jones, but also have had success with some creator and city sets. I just happend to stumble across this website a couple of days ago, and I must say, it is AMAZING! I have been keeping track of all of my financials on an excel spreadsheet, and will probably continue to do so since there isn't a way to track selling expense (shippi…

Hello! My Name is Benjamin, I´m from Germany. I recently turned 37 and got out of my dark ages;-) Basically my 3 Year old Son brought me back to LEGO, and hopefully it will be a long time shared Hobby of us. BTW I came here because of those damn fine youtube videos by Mr. Mack. I think he is very sympathic and so I stranded here;-)

Hi, my name is David and I'm from Spain. I started to collect LEGO many years ago, I loved play with them as a kid and I kept interested in them when I grew up. Sadly, when I was a kid i wasn't aware of what I had in my hands and most of the boxes and manuals went to the trash, and I didn't keep the older sets mounted. However, I started to classify the pieces I had, separating by shape, size, type, etc. I never known anybody who likes LEGO like me, so I never share my collection and hobby with other people. Now, for space and economic causes, I'm planning to part with my collection. I think maybe this website and you could help me to value and know how to sell …

Hello!! I'm a new member from Portugal and I'm a long time Lego fan. I'm 35 years old and have a few Lego sets since I was around 5 years old. A few years ago me and my wife rediscovered the happiness of building and playing with Lego's when we were almost 30 years old! This is the beauty about Lego. You play when your a child, you play while growing up and when your a father/mother it all starts again! looking forward to learn. Bit more about this Lego world and all it has to offer. All the best!!!

Hello from Latvia! Is there someone else from here? My wife is in "this thing" as hobby, but I thing there is opportunity for some side income.

New member here. Have been building LEGO sets with my kids for about 10 years but only recently got into the whole collecting thing. I did the card collecting thing for over 30 years but kids just never got into it so I sold the collection and we started doing LEGO together. The Ninjago sets are the most popular with my kids but I tend to like sets of retro things like the original Ghostbusters, Scooby Doo, ect, and the Creator sets. Love clearance shopping for LeGO and finding those deals. Recent clearance finds at an out of the way Walmart store include: Pirate Rollercoaster $36. (bought all 4) Millenium Falcon $75 Hogwarts Express $32 (could…

Hello everyone, I just signed up here today and still trying to figure it out. I got into Lego after being diagnosed with Huntingtons Disease. It's a great way to keep my mind off how I am changing and what's in store for me. I'm slowly getting my sets out to display them and I'll add photos. I'm obviously on a fixed income (disability) and can't afford the really big sets. I get a few a month and enjoy every build. I have many Lego bricks all sorted out but the problem I have is no imagination for building. I'm looking for friends, building ideas, all tips are useful, and any deals are very much appreciated. I've wasted enough of your time for those who chose to read t…

Hey guys Just a quick hello, new to this forum having been an AFOL since 2018, had a long dark age of over 20 years. Wanted to say hello from the UK and also share a youtube channel I set up during covid to give me something to do lego wise whilst the delivery of bricks slowed down. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLvm88QwI0GgPisP4lKtqvw I've built my own city and I design MOCs - be great to hear from other AFOL's especially those near London, UK.

Hello, I'm after some advice please. I have recently found an old Lego Technic C-3PO (set 8007) that I am looking to sell. I'm not a collector and I just want to pass it on to someone who will keep/enjoy it. It is sealed, never been opened. The box is intact but is a little misshapen from storage. It was purchased from Osborne's Sports & Toys (the first UK toy shop to sign up as a Lego stockist http://www.osbornes-rushden.co.uk/lego-60/ - no relevance but a nice bit of backstory) when I worked there as a Saturday girl. Any advice would be great

Hi, I'm Matthew. My obsession with LEGO was rekindled a couple years after having our son (about five years ago). First, we received a few kits as gifts, then we bought a few. It wasn't long before I was hooked on playing with LEGO again. About two years ago I was searching for a Batman kit to build with our son, and what I discovered on eBay shocked me. Not kidding. I was floored. The opportunity to invest seemed at once both obvious and sacrilegious. After all, I was brought up to think that LEGO boxes were made to be ripped open and the blocks to be played with...over and over. Right? :-) Now, a few years later, I'm buying "too much" LEGO. About one…

Hello guys, I just created my account minutes ago and I'm excited to learn more. Currently, I only have one Lego set: the 75255 Yoda. I bought it off of eBay for $88 with fees and shipping included-- 12% below current retail. How long should I wait before selling it? Thanks guys!

Hi everybody, Long story short : I'm just anohter AFOL with his childhood collection (some city, space, medieval stuff). I came back to lego a few years ago and now I'm fully committed to big sets like star wars UCS (not older ones that are way too expensive, but new, which are still expensive but... a bit more affordable ) or nice lego Idea sets. I've also built some stuff like Arvo's brothers kaneda's bike and chestburster and some random other stuff from my childhood

I created this profile a year or so ago, but haven't posted much yet. Hoping to change that and maybe trade with some of you guys. Got into the hobby as a kid during the golden years of the 90s; forestmen, Wild West, aqua zone, even time twisters are all favorites. Started collecting again a few years ago after getting caught up in the CMF phase about series 4. Now I mainly focus on: CMF line Star Wars Modulars Architecture DC/marvel Thanks! Adam

i have full sets immaculate condition and 7 kg of bricks for sale thank you

Hi fellow BPs, I just registered my account a couple of months ago and wanted to drop by and introduce myself; I'm a long time Lego enthusiast and AFOL. In the past, I have mostly been buying sets for myself to play/build/display with but with Lego becoming an increasingly expensive hobby for me, I have decided to invest in it to having a small source of funding. Currently, I am only investing in SW, but I would like some tips and suggestions of what themes to invest in and what to look out for in each theme. ( And no, I'm not that sort of dreamy dude who believes 10179 can repeat again)

So just been to my local lego shop (Leeds, trinity centre ) and yes they have a ucs display piece, to see it in the flesh is something else, its massive but amazing, detail is astounding, at first I thought 650 quid is way too much but then worked out price per piece 7,541 pieces to be exact so not so bad after all, if your only going to buy one ucs set this year it has to be this.

Just a quick hello! And a quick question: is there a good summary of the rules on not being labelled spam for this forum? I am a bit older than some and seemed to get myself banned from others for posting the odd link and not understanding the etiquette. Thanks

Hi. I'm Tyler from Canada. Lego is awesome. I have 11 original sets in the Castle theme from 93-95. I hope to collect all sets within those years. Attached is a pic of my sets in their boxes. Unfortunately, the box and manual for the Dragon Defender was not taken care of. I will have to rectify that soon.

Hi Everyone! I'm a new user in this site, and it seems like a really great place! I wanted to introduce myself! I have been a big fan of Lego since childhood. My favorite themes are Star Wars, Ideas and City. Some time ago I started making MOCs. My first big-scale MOC, is a science-themed model of the DNA structure, as well as the history of its discovery. I've included a pic as well. This is currently on Lego Ideas, if you're interested (https://ideas.lego.com/projects/5bd5311e-5078-4a7b-8763-e9cfd8a38c42 ). I also enjoy reading, and my favorite writer is Stephen King. I had a question regarding MOCs as well. Can someone please tell me where users nor…

Hello all, My name is Matthew from SoCal and I've been a fan of Lego's from the early 80s during my elementary school years. I was a space Lego fan and that went hand in hand with my love of Star Wars. I passed my Lego's onto my younger brother as I got older. Eventually my mom saved them and stuck them away in the garage. Fast forward 25 years and I was able to retrieve them and use them with my 3 year old daughter. The Legos were dusty and a bit dirty so I separated all of them and tossed them in the washing machine on gentle for an short time. Attached is a pic of them air drying. I ended up sorting by color into small boxes and have been grabbing a handful…
