waynew Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 hi there, I am after some info or advice...looking to find where to get the value of my current lego sets and how to sell them??...is it best to sell minifigures separately from the sets?? altogether?? certain bricks as a bulk??…..I have over 300 sets ranging from small to big sets like, bennys spaceship, millennium falcon, Jurassic world....plus a lot of minifigure blind bag characters....any advice is welcome. AFOL without a clue:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrickdad Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 OK. So where to start. Are these new and boxed? Did you buy with a view to selling or are they a collection? To get a value, stick them all into your Brickfolio and take it from there.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelgazra Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The set value table hasn’t been updated super recently, but if you know what sets you have, and know their condition of completeness, you can give the Lot Calculator tool on here a try. It’ll give a rough ballpark of value if sets were sold individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman720 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 OK. So where to start. Are these new and boxed? Did you buy with a view to selling or are they a collection? To get a value, stick them all into your Brickfolio and take it from there....Well you are at the right place to get advice. Like thebrickdad says it depends on so many factors. The most important in my opinion is, “How much time and effort you are willing to put in. “ Typically the more time equals more profit. Another big factor is your buy in cost. If you were a buyer at 40%-50%, it’s hard not to make money on retired sets, but it also depends on which sets. Unfortunately, Benny’s spaceship hasn’t done as well as most resellers originally thought.You will probably get a lot more informative advice if you weren’t as vague in your questions. People here will you along your way, but typically you will need to show more effort into your questions by being more specific(like the ocean).

waynew Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi guys they are all my own sets that I have purchased over the last 10 years from brand new. most of them don't have boxes apart from the bigger sets and most of the marvel, DC. Trouble is my son and I broke the sets up into colour coordinated tubs but I now see the downside to that as I am slowly trying to put the sets back together. I will take the advice given already and watch this space:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Mack Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 What bigfanofnu said is true, a post like this has been created numerous times, "what should I do with this?", "how do i sell my collection?", the thing is, we need way more information, photos, details on what you have. There is no one answer fits all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynew Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) hi again guys, I will attach a few pics of some of the sets I have as I am still sorting moving boxes out! I have also started the job of inputting the sets onto the brickfolio Edited October 15, 2018 by waynew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take the advice given already and watch this space:) This answers it for me: I would sell in bulk. Might be worth looking into values of individual minifigures, but we will all be dead by the time you successfully put back together 300 sets.

There will inevitably be missing parts and there are no boxes so a bulk sale sounds the simplest way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksBrotha Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Set 6866 would be a good place to start ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_chaos Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 It might be worth getting your son to piece together some of the better sets. 75919, for example, is worth ~ £150 if complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
