Hello,newbie …well 62 yo

[kaydee]

Hello,I need advice,I have just retired and having downsized massively I find myself with a loft full of both total rubbish and some not so rubbish.When my daughters were tiny (now 34 and 38) we collected enough lego to fill a bedroom.Having dragged everything out of the loft I came across some things.

I should start by saying I intend to keep all the traditional lego,and duplo it will get used for ever by smaller members of the family,but I have something else.I remember buying it years ago and at the time realised it was a bad buy,it went in the loft.

I would like to put it up for sale and need some advice regarding where to sell it and how much to ask.I know this is going to sound like another Sales pitch but I don’t know what to do with it.

If any of you could help I would be very grateful,I also realise I need 10 posts to sell on classifieds.

What I have is a pair of lego Bionicles

The two boxes have never been opened and are still sealed together in cellophane though there is slight creasing of one side of one of the boxes,the cellophane is unbroken.I have been told this is important .

The particular Bionicles are Toa Lhikan and Kikanolo model number 8811

The second is Sidorak model number 8756 The two boxes are packed together.

I am not a dealer,or ,to be honest an enthusiast ,just a guy who has retired and is trying to make space.

Can someone please help me with this

Thank you and all the best

Sell on ebay. Look at bricklink.com for SOLD prices, then try starting at 80% of those.

Another option depends on your location. Some online dealers exist who will purchase sets or broker their sale. 

However, eBay is nice and easy to figure out. I have sold a few diecast cars successfully, and I am a complete amatuer seller!
