I know I have posted a few times in various topics...just finally decided that I need to introduce myself.

 

Not much to say really.  I am just an average 20 something American AFOL fresh out of his dark ages.  I like collecting vintage Space sets (M:Tron, Blacktron etc etc).  Found this great site and became more and more intrigued with the investing side of the LEGO addiction.

 

So far my Brickfolio is very modest, about 10 new sets.  I did manage to pick up a couple vintage lots off craigslist, with a ton of mostly complete sets (including a 6086 Black Knight's Castle ).  Have been cleaning them up and hopefully will start selling in the next couple months.  Pretty sure I can double, possibly triple, my money off these used sets and provide a nice kickstart to my Brickfolio.

 

I look forward to being a contributing member to this great community and learning from all you brilliant and experienced users.

Is your last name Vince?

 

Actually My first name is Vince

 

And yes my avatar is from "Tangled."  Something about Pascal the Chameleon strikes me as hilarious every time I see it.

Hi there, let me introduce myself:

 

My name is Carl Henning, I love lego among other things - reading, (pop) science, economics, history. I live in Cologne, Germany. A ffew years ago I started collecting lego sets (again) with the 8448. It's mostly about Technic but also Star wars and some Creator car sets. Unfortunately I have often too little time for the larger sets next to my job  

 

Looking forward to discussions here!

Yeah the cleaning is a little tedious, thankfully most of my lots have been pretty good so far.  Do you have a preferred technique?  I have a tub that I fill with warm water and light dish soap and then use a toothbrush and start scrubbing.  Pieces then get rinsed and set on a towel with a small fan blowing on them to aid in drying.

 

Use your washing machine and clothes net.

Roll the net in a towel.

Welcome to Brickpicker, Carl!

Welcome. (Seeing how this is my first post, I probably shouldn't be welcoming you!)
