Hi there, Just stumbled upon this awesome site and registered! Have been a AFOL for a few years now after getting the 10030 set and then started collecting Star Wars. I've recently decided to do a bit more Lego investing and have picked up a few sets. I've also stopped collecting Star Wars and am moving into the LOTR range. Cheers G

Hello Everyone! I'm a bit of a rookie to the online scene of LEGO. So much so that I have only recently over the last few months started to sort all my bits. I have begun to notice that a lot of serous LEGO collectors support their hobby by buying and selling LEGO. I thought this sounded pretty awesome and have decided to sign up to this site and maybe start small and give it a go in time. Anyway guys awesome to be here! Any tips on buying from outside of the U.S.? Regards Quinn

Welcome to BrickPicker, Quinn! Hope to see you around some more. Here's a tip to start you out...read some of those "BrickVesting" Articles and posts. It helped me a lot, and I am sure it will do the same for you. :-)

Welcome to the site! I second comicblast, read the blog articles.

Welcome friend. I know that prices are radically different for Lego around the world so if you are ever interested in some transcontinental trade send me a message!

Welcome man! I've been to NZ and loved it, just wish it were easier to move there... I second what everyone else has been saying. Just read everything.

Thank you Sadowsk. I will definitely keep that in mind when I do finally build up the courage to give this a go =)

Welcome to the site, Quinn! Out of all the places in the world, I have ALWAYS wanted to see New Zealand! Second would be a tie between Australia or Egypt.

Aww thats awesome!

Would be cool to learn how to buy and sell LEGO for down here in little old New Zealand!

I'm a builder who wants to look into supporting my obsession with the LEGO selling trade.

I have always been fascinated with the idea of buying and selling on the market. Here I can combine the two. Have to learn the ropes first haha.

To be honest not really sure where to start. I have a very small budget and thus not sure where to start of how.

Thanks for making me feel welcome! This site is very friendly and helpful! Awesome community thus far!
