So as well all look to get legos we are tapping all resources

ebay

shopgoodwill

craigslist

i recently have had some success with estate sales. I realize they may be priced higher but have been good for some bulk lots and flips.

i hate seeing a listing and it's too far from me or can't tell what's in the lots pictured do I figured we could use this to share estate sale stories, post sale you see and more.

 

The below pictures are about 6 hrs from me

they are selling bins as a lot 

other items separately-

I love these posts of yours Elk, but also hate them a little at the same time, because we don't really have estate sales over here, so they make me happy, but then sad. 

 

Is Tesco 3 for 2 not good enough for you now?

You picked up any classic space or castle in Tesco recently then?

(I spent a sheet load in Tesco during the 3 for 2s, yet still have fomo for sets I missed out on, never happy)

Does Benny´s Spaceship count? It will take another 20 years to be worth anything.

So elkthunder became an instant legend at the estate sale today, buying the entire city. I was in the hunt for it but ultimately passed as I don't have the resources or space for such a massive collection. Can't believe he drove 8 hours for it and got it all!

How much $?

Asking price was 4400, don't know what he ultimately paid as he picked up additional sets.

Funny because I live about 20 minutes from the place, and figured I could get her to lower the price a bit - nope!
I ended up getting a few nice custom sets a built falling water, trains, train stations, Big Ben sealed, un building sealed, minifigures, some old game boy games, some board games, and paid up for it 600 bucks! Had to fight to get her down from 815!
After elks transaction, I guess she thought all the sets are tons of money.
Quite a mess in my house right now

When I die I'm hoping that my ghost can attend the estate sale and watch all of you vultures fight over my stash of Joker Steamrollers.
