isawred Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Greetings! I’ve been debating a bulk sale. Couple hundred sets. MSRP was almost 14k. Current value 16.6k-23.5k. My question is at what price will someone buy? I’ve heard stories of 50%, would that be 7k, 8.3k or 11.7k? I’ve just started an inventory. If it’s cool with y’all I’ll post as I go? harry potter 18’-22’ - 87 sets MSRP was $3745 current avg for sale $5828 avg sold 90days $4180. Can I find a buyer at $2914, $2090 or $1872? marvel 18’-22’ - 81 sets MSRP was $2669 current avg for sale $4544 avg sold 90days $3189. *as of 5/11, it’s interesting how the prices change.

isawred Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Unable to copy/paste readable table. Attached pdf for Harry Potter. I have one for marvel. Still working on others. I understand your point of liquidity. There are some with only a few sold. I’m sure at some point I won’t be able to give away my vidiyo sets lol thankfully those are not part of the portfolio but there are some trolls in there. I thought my daughter would like the figs… Hp 1 sheet .pdf Marvel 1 sheet.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Jealous of the bookkeeping skills, wish my records were as nicely organized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmpirate Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Simple math is buy for 1/3 of what you could sell for. Then you have to consider the labor involved in acquiring and inventorying the sets. 1/3 of $20K is $6600. Slow moving market right now and the economy is not looking to improve. So, starting with $6600 could be the thing to do and see if you get bid up. Edited May 15, 2023 by gmpirate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isawred Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Thank you but nothing to be jealous of here! ChatGPT filled in the MSRP & set names, not always accurate but still helpful. Individual values takes me awhile to put together. Still some good baseline info to see if it’s worth it for both parties 🤝🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isawred Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 @gmpirate thank you for the info! Kinda what I was afraid of. @ 1/2 I can say lesson learned. @ 1/3 I’m still HODL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmpirate Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 People willing to wait for the sets to appreciate could pay more but most people wiling to spend that much at once would want a quicker return. Of course you could always setup shop in your garage, open the doors and have your own Lego store 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isawred Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 LOL I’ve heard of a guy! I’ve sold sets on BL til I had 2 scams. Thankfully PayPal gave me my money but it was enough scare. local FB around Xmas but timing was difficult. I’ve been on eBay but race to the bottom is ruthless!
