supergman Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Long story short, my wife and I are moving across the country and the amount of Lego I have is enough for a small truck...basically way too much to realistically take and the money can certainly help with moving costs. We won't be doing this until early next year, fortunately. I have always collected (aka hoarded) various sets and have never sold anything. Are there any suggestions / ideas / advice of offloading a lot of this stuff, sooner than later? I really don't have the desire to play the ebay/amazon game and even if I broke even on stuff, I'm fine; it's more of a matter of getting it out of here than trying to make profits at this point. I can take pictures if anyone would like, but figured I'd at least make this post. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootyb Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Craigslist is always an option. If you don't feel like piecing it out, sell it as a large lot. How many sets are you talking about here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 If you are selling a large lot be prepared to take a huge hit especially if you list on CL. Most craigslisters are looking for a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 If you want to sell in one large lot, I would just list all at close to MSRP. Don't try to take current resale value. Once you factor in the duds against the EOL winners, it will probably be a wash in the end. If you have others that are already EOL and have increased in value significantly, I'd pull those out and sell them separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm in southern PA, about 40 minutes north of Baltimore. I'll put some pics up later today. i'm close to philadelphia. hit me up if you need help moving sets (e.g. send me a list w/ set name and include whether sets are opened or not). while i prob can't buy it all, i should be able take an ample amount (no, i won't ask for all the "good" sets). however, a small to medium lot is far easier to sell than a large one. better yet, maybe having a smaller collection that what you have today will allow you to move more sets to your new home? just a thought.

knarrff Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You might just generate enough interest here to sell some of the sets. Without any fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You might just generate enough interest here to sell some of the sets. Without any fees. exactly. try to avoid all fees. shipping, selling, etc... who knows what you will find with CL as that is "hit" or "miss". you prob just want to move sets fast and easy without taking too much of a hit. shipping large sets is a pain itself let alone a big lot of sets..

supergman Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 >@jais - oh, ok. We head to Lewes (family there) through Bel Air and up 95 towards Wilmington/Christiana. Whatever works! Just the amount of stuff we need to get out of here is really crazy. Even Bruder trucks from my son...no clue what to do w these things, but that's another story unto itself. Amazing how spoiled kids are these days, and then, as parents, you look back and wonder why..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 There is no selling in the forums......any threads of this sort will be deleted immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Also any threads asking how to get rid of lots and sets will be deleted as well. All of us here know where to sell Lego sets and if you don't there is plenty of info in the forums on how and where to sell......this is not the place to do so until the classifieds rolls out Thanks.
