Hello from Bristol, UK

  •

Hi folks,

My name is Kev and live in Bristol UK. I've been interested in Lego since I was 6 years old! I've still got all my sets and although most are unboxed, they are all complete (apart from a tree my dog chewed from set 6394) :).

I stopped buying lego for a while, only occasionally purchasing the odd vehicle to put on a shelf while I concentrated on grown up things. But everyday I used to walk past the lego in the supermarket when I got my lunch waiting for the opportunity to buy some for my nephews birthday or Christmas.

This all changed recently when I was purchasing an item and noticed the markup in a vehicle I wanted which was used but available on ebay. The thought of making a profit by sitting on decent items occurred to me and after a few google searches I ended up here!

I feel like an alcoholic who's fallen off the wagon! Buying as much lego as I want, listening to it rattle in the boxes, it feels great!

I know I'm new to investing and I'll make loads of mistakes along the way, but this is the most fun I've had in years and I haven't even made any money yet.

This looks like a great community and I hope I'll fit in. It's great to be surrounded by some seasoned professionals, I hope to pick up a few tips.

Anyway that's enough rambling!

Cheers

Kev

    Welcome!  Do you build or are you just investing right now?  I'm both.... a double whammy as I want to buy sets both to resell and build.  My wallet hates me.

    Thanks for the welcomes folks. Hi naf, I'm mostly investing at the moment but I like to treat myself to a few cheeky little treats now and then, mostly vehicles to be honest. Loving my new ghostbusters set but am sadly running out of shelf space!

    Just testing the water at the moment with a few random purchases to invest in until I get a solid strategy up together. There's so many threads I feel like I've learnt a lot already!
