So I have 2 pick a brick promo boxes that are good until end of March to use. I don't part out sets or have a need for extra bricks of any kind as I don't assemble LEGO beyond what is in the instructions of a set. My actually 'spare' parts box of LEGO is very small.

I've browsed the bins of the local LEGO store but I have no idea what I should grab from a resale point of view. Any pointers? Any parts I should look for that might be quick and easy resell on eBay?

You could always sell the pick-a-brick box on ebay too, I am struggling with this as well.

I filled four boxes with 375 light blue 2x4 that sold for $41 plus shipping. I also fit 275 pink 1x4 and 800 pink tiles that are still listed on ebay. I think the light blue are the best bet for reselling. You can search finished auctions for my listing item 291058072438 

Plants are pretty big. Everyone loves them/needs them for something. There is money in them if you can get enough into the containers, or in this case, boxes. Dark Tan is a popular colour, so is regular tan. The Lego store out here had 1x2 Purple and 1x2 Bright Pink tiles out here. I filled a container about 60,40 of each. Bricklink lists them about 3-4cents a piece, and I got them for around a cent. Those are really neat. Also, any bricks that would have to do with buildings or castles (especially Dark Bley/Light Bley). 

You can send them to me   I can always use free bricks

 

or trade them with other BP users for sets you actually want

I might go that route, but I'm thinking of experimenting with part and minifig sales and seeing if its something I want to tackle. This is the perfect opportunity to start up.

Are printed pieces usually no brainers? I'm unsure of the part code but the local B&M has a bin full of 1x2 flat plates with printed guages on it...

I have 9 of these now, i'm planning on an hour/hour and a half per box to make sure they're superpacked

Usually printed pieces are worth some more in terms of value. Do not know exactly how much though.

I sold the boxes for approximately $10 per box on ebay back in December, profit may not be as much as selling the bricks yourself but much less hassle.

did you sell 7 to the same guy who pm'd you on ebay cetona?

I sold a set of 5 and a set of 2, never got any messages about them on ebay though.

How do the sizes of these boxes compare with the small-$10 / large-$15 cups that are in-store?  Want to take my son and a few of his friends to get some random bricks but was curious what is ultimately cheaper.

I would be interested in what others have to say about this. My daughter which has filled many of the small and large cups thinks the boxes hold equal to or maybe a bit more than the large cups, mostly because box is easier to pack well than the round cups with flared sides.

There was a guy who compared the cups to the boxes from 2012; not sure if those from 2013 are the same sizes, but the boxes held a tad more if you stack all of the bricks into a solid square; which we all know takes forever and a day to do.
