Modulars?

[fraserheatlie07]

Hi,

i haven't bought any Lego in 3-4 years and am selling off all of my smaller sets, and was considering selling my bigger ones too until recently. I have one modular, 10197 fire brigade and would like another one to go with it, but they're all quite expensive. I can get a new 10246 detectives office for about £90, is this a good deal? And if I choose to sell at a later date, will it sell for more than £90? 

Thanks :)

Same here, I've been selling off my stuff and streamlining my collection.

If I may latch on to a single question-

If you have a decent job, there's no need to take future resale value into consideration.

Let's say you resell the set in 5 years and make $200 profit. Well, okay, working minimum wage ($10/hr) you make that in about 20 hours, which is maybe 2 or 3 days. It's an insignificant profit to make over the course of so many years.

The only time it's worth taking resale value into consideration is if you do quick flips for a living because you're a reseller/scalper and do it with many, many products. Only then do all the micro profits add up, but even then it's still too much work in my opinion.

yes and scalpers are a right down there with politicians.
