Recall him mentioning a while back about dabbling on the secondary Lego market
Recently acquired some of my childhood sets (early 90’s) which look like they have some value according to Brickpicker, but no idea on the best way to sell etc
Libby (or any other Lego enthusiasts) - help? |  |

In the true TWTD spirit of Shefki/Pablo, Stilton/Cheddar/Brie etc. I would just like to say that Lego is for snowflakes, proper blokes go for Meccano. |  |

If you have all the pieces, the box and instructions in good nick it is worth a fair bit.
I had some old Pirates sets I sold on eBay, one would cost the equivalent of about £8 today went for £25 because it has a rare shark piece in it.
I've got the big ship at home just missing a few pieces, at some point I will just buy the pieces I need to complete it and sell as a complete set. |  |

Just seen your PM and responded, haven't been on here much this week and every time I have come on I've been scared off within 5 minutes by Frimley Blue posting complete and utter tosh. |  |

I've had similar experiences, sometimes in that situation you're better off parting out the old set if there's a few particularly rare pieces.
I had my best ever sales month in July, between the sales on eBay, bricklink and other methods I managed to equal my regular jobs wage! Not sure why I had the upturn in sales but it was bloody appreciated and all banked towards a new bathroom for our little bungalow and spent this Bank Holiday just gone in the sales.
Wish I could figure out why it was exactly sales peaked, quite like the idea of doing the sales full time but in reality I'm not sure it's sustainable really. | |

Is Lego still a strong seller on EBay? Many years back I could easily make £600+ profit a month by selling Star Wars Lego, buying a box and then selling the figures individually and then whatever buildings/spaceships separately. The best earner was Mos Eisley Cantina box, which I bought around 100 units of at £12 each from Latham’s at Potter Heigham, breaking down that box would turn around £40-50 per box. I still have a couple of boxes unopened and wish I’d kept them all sealed as they’re worth a small fortune now.
I’ve not bothered with EBay for years as the cut they and PayPal were taking, along with rising postage costs and the downturn in Star Wars made a noticeable dent in profits. |  | | |

It’s not as easy as it used to be but it’s still possible to make money.
I just sold X2 of both the Simpson’s Kwik E Mart and house and made a lovely little profit. On top of that I make regular smaller sales which are the bread and butter!
I’ve a few similar size sets I’m waiting to mature, my rule is 75% - 100% profit and I sell, bank the profit and reinvest. | |

How do you find selling on eBay? I have to admit, I've been put off after some issuesin the past. eBay doesn't seem to protect the seller at all, in my opinion. [Post edited 31 Aug 2018 18:48]

The one time I had an issue I was protected as I charge a lot for postage and make sure it’s always recorded delivery and signed for so there’s no chance they can claim their item never turned up. [Post edited 31 Aug 2018 19:02]

How much did the Simpsons sets go for, you can still pick them up at FV.
NewcyBlue is delivering my Maersk ship this weekend, that is a rare one now and worth triple what I'm paying but I'll be building it and keeping it! | |

Around 275 to 300 each. I know it’s available elsewhere still but obviously others don’t 😂 [Post edited 31 Aug 2018 19:21]

Aye, when I look at the average sale price on bricklink I think I've pulled a blinder there, especially as all four of those sales happened within 5 weeks of one another. | |
