bulk lot help in recognizing valuable pieces

[supergiu]

hi all!

I'm evaluating the lot with the pictures in attach...anything can recognize anything of value? the offer is at 50 euros, weight of 5kg, and + delivery costs (approx 10 additional euros)

worth the deal?

many thanks for any suggestion!!

A lot of that looks like it isn't Lego. I would pass personally.

At 50 euros + shipping, you’ll lose money on it and to be honest if you have to ask on this lot, you need to do more research.  As tractorboy says it’s mostly none Lego.

If you break it down, at 5kg that's about 11lbs but since most of that stuff isn't even Lego by the time you pull out the clone refuse you'll probably have about 3lbs of elements. Bulk mixed lots (without identifiable ie: SW minifigs) are generally 3-4$cdn per pound - thus your base value would be about $12.oo or  8.15 Eur.

(the 3 pounds estimate is taking into account advertised weight - clones - the sellers 20% over estimation of weight as always, the added weight of instructions, packing material, useless garbage, broken/damages etc.)

Then you have to subtract your shipping costs (assuming no customs) probably for example about 6 eur  ie: your cost is about 2 eur.

Then you have to take into account your time for sorting/cleaning/receiving/etc just for example at a minimum wage of $12cdn/hr  (8.15 eur) since it's such a small amount it'll probably just take an hour to sort so your cost to purchase should now be about 6.15 eur

... 6.15 eur that they pay you to take the lot off their hands!

 

it's not all bad though, sometimes a few bucks on a random lot is worth just the entertainment value of the treasure hunt & some folks find it very therapeutic to rummage through a random lot just for fun.
