Around $300 for this. A little vague, all of the mini-figures are there, and sets are complete. About 75-100 pounds of Legos?????. (His estimate). See anything strikingly good? I've never bought bulk before and not sure if I want to start. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

 

Also, he says there are around 100 mini figures.

There are some good sets there...the thing is they are all newer, which mean low used prices. And unless there is another bin, I dont see that being 100 pounds.

For collecting its a descent price....but unless you are willing to sit on them for awhile for resale.

I would try for around 150-200 range

Yeah, I didn't think it would weigh that much also. I've got him down to $250, but still trying to determine what exactly is in there.

Medieval Market, Winter Village Cottage, and Vampyre Castle are all going to for >$100 now.  So you've got $300 in sets there.  But, that's the new price.  Used shouldn't be far off of that.  

 

That's definitely not 75 lbs of LEGO.  Probably closer to 25 lbs.

 

You don't mention if this is for investment/parting out or for personal builds, which would help guide us a little bit.  How popular are bulk sets in your area?  Are other people in line for this?  Are you going to be bummed if you miss out on this?

 

For me, personally, if I didn't already have the three sets I mentioned at the top, $250-$300 would be a good price.  But that would be for my personal builds, and an overwhelming desire to have those three sets.  If these aren't high demand sets for you, then I'd definitely go lower.

For me, I'd go for it.  But that's me, for those sets, if I didn't already have them.

 

It's a little pricy for a bulk lot, but, you have three big sets in there.

I'm not really sure what I want to do with it yet. All I have is sealed sets and no loose Legos. I would probably build, make sure they are complete, and then sell.

He said there are more sets, and they are looking for instructions. His estimate was $2,500 worth new. Unless there is more, that is way off in my estimate.

Thats not 75-100 pounds lol ... try like 25 pounds ( not counting the bin weight)

Does he even have pics of the mini-figs?  If he's throwing around prices and is smart enough to know they are worth 2.5K new...you'd think he was smart enough to have some pics of mini-figs. I'd pass unless I could get a hands on look. 

He said he can dump it out and take pics, or I can look at everything. But it's getting late and he's about half hour away.

Assuming that the sets shown are complete, $250 is fair, I'd be fine with it if it was me.  But I'm the type that likes to gamble on these and the thrill of the search is fun too.  You aren't going to lose money at that price, at least.  It also looks like 3182? jet and 3181? jet are there.  If that airport is there, that's a nice find as well.  If they can find you some more instructions or some figure pics that would help you out a lot. 

I see Huskers point, if its FUN and you will regret NOT buying it, then buy it.  Its gonna eat HOURS and DAYS of your time putting it all together.  Is that fun, or is it work?

 

I bought some similar heavy poundage bin on cragistlist a few months ago and despite the sellers promises and instruction books, most was heavy MegaBloks, hotwheels and action figures UNDER all the cool big eye catching LEGO parts.

It is unfortunate but some shady sellers do cut the product with filler and say it is pure...so to speak

 

When ever I look at a lot even if it seems to be a sure thing.  I always randomly fish 10 to 20 pieces out of all areas of the bin and check for Mega blocks.  A few pieces is fine as sometimes the parent didn't love their kid and got some Mega Blocks here and there.  But if the half or more comes up, its a giant red flag.

Id buy it but mainly because I would want Vampyre Castle and Cottage for myself.....

 

 

250$ sounds fair but thats nowhere near 100 lbs

Thanks for the info on the plane. Since I don't build, it's much more difficult for me to figure out what is in there. I think market value, we are pretty close, but if I were to sell, profits would be pretty marginal.

Sent me these today after asking more questions. I think I may bite on this.

I would after those pics....go go go :)

Got it down to $225. I think it should work out ok, even if there are some missing pieces. If not, it'll be chalked up as a learning experience.

Definitely seems worth it if most of those sets can be completed! Probably will have to spend time on bricklink tracking down missing parts but that's part of the fun!

Picked it up. There are several unopened bags, just not sure what sets they belong to. When I weighed the tub, it came to 76 pounds. So, he wasn't too far off, and it actually surprised me. I think the picture is a bit misleading.

 

Thanks for the help and comments. I'll be watching NCAA basketball next Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun, sorting and building. Should be fun!

awesome! love digging around a large lot like this!

I am late to the party but that's a good pickup. Nice job.

Ha! I had really no idea how much work this is going to be. Just sorting through the pieces to find the mini-figures was a long process. Now, I'm just trying to figure out exactly how to start putting some sets together.

I would love to have this problem. Used lego lots like this are so scarce here... Congratulations!

Remember to take breaks from sorting. You would be suprised how fast you can get burned out.

So jelly I am almost done sorting my last lot and am looking hard for the next one :)

After seeing the additional pictures you posted, you indeed did well.  Glad I was right on the City Airport sets.
