I wanted to stop by and say hello. I found this site a couple of weeks ago and rediscovered my love of Legos several months ago. I bought a few Monsters Fighter sets to build, which quickly started me down the road of buying more sets. I realized I needed a way to supplement my Lego buying and just make some extra cash, so I started to think about reselling. That led me here. To start, I've picked up a couple Research Institutes and other odds and ends. I'd like to get in to rehabbing sets for resale, but I'm not really sure how to start down that road. Anyways, that for the site and community.

Howdy, welcome to the madness. Nice pick up with the Research Institutes.

Welcome to Brickpicker! Glad you`ve come back from the dark ages. 

Welcome. I'm in *** as well. I rehab and resell sets also. It's a learning process. You will have to do it a few times to get the hang of it. The basic strategy is to buy low on eBay, complete the sets via Bricklink or Brick Owl, and resell. The main thing to look for when buying incomplete sets is to make sure the sets have all the minifigs. These can be expensive to replace. You can also look the set up on Bricklink to see if the set has any rare and expensive pieces that might be missing. You will be surprised. Some pieces are expensive to replace and it can take several orders to complete a set and the shipping cost adds up. This can be very lucrative but just be careful what you buy and make sure it's a desirable set that will sell easily.

Welcome!  I got into Lego pretty heavily this year and started with some Monster Fighters as well--lots of great advice on this site whether you're looking to collect, invest, or both.  Spending time reading through the various threads will really pay off down the road.

Welcome to Brickpicker!!

Welcome to the site.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

 

jbacunn: Thanks for the advice!

Nice! I'm about thirty-ish minutes north of ATL.

Welcome.  You are going to learn more in these forums than you expect...be prepared for an addiction you can rationalize.  Only after being here for a few months do I feel bad for buying only 10 of some sets.   

Good day, Huggernaut.

Welcome to BP!

We need more southerners. Not as much Lego lovers down here it seems like.

 

Heck, all i sell to anymore is California, which is a ***** for shipping.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to taking in all of the knowledge. I know I'm disappointed for only getting two RIs.

Chima is a series I've never really explored. Fun builds? Good investments?

I don't invest. But my six year old loves chima and lego movie sets. His favorite is Benny's spaceship he built it in about four hours

That's great! I love building. Got my wife into shortly after I rediscovered Lego, so now we build together. Benny's Spaceship looks great.
