Finntech Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Hi, What do you think is this a good offer if I'm just for the parts. These sets are in Finnis "ebay" and I'm wondering should I buy them. Total part count is about 1500 but there's probably some parts missing. All sets should be in excellent condition. 8291 - Chopper, b-model (instructions) 248 part. 8261 - Rally Truck (instructions) 198 part. 8262 - Quad Bike (instructions) 308 part. 8256 - Go-Kart (instructions) 144 part. 8263 - Snow Groomer, b-model (no instructions) 590 part. Total parts ~ 1500 Price: 79 € What do you think? Quote

Total parts ~ 1500 Price: 79 € What do you think? I think the average price is around 8 cents a piece (for models without PF etc), so 79 euro for 1500 pieces seems like a fair price. However, your choice really depends on whether the parts are useful for your. For example, buying a new 8070 supercar will cost you maybe 20 euros more, but you might get more interesting parts....if you are building a supercar. So the price is acceptable, but your choice should depend on whether you like the parts, or maybe you just want to add these models to your collection. And if you are looking for a way to diversify your part collection, go for it!! Edited October 13, 2011 by Gekke Ted Quote

That is a good point, but if I buy and built the supercar I probably don't want to put it in pieces at all after it's done... it looks so great. These five sets I would easily just use for the parts. The price (79€) is not that bad because lego's are quite expensive here in Finland. Even though these sets are second handed. Quote

Well, then you should probably buy these sets However, buying the supercar will allow you to build it, look at it, take it apart, build the awesome B-model, look at it, take it apart and have a nice collection of "car pieces" hehe. What's the price of the supercar in Finland? But seriously, buying the sets for 79 euro seems like a nice deal. You'll get some tread links, some different wheels, etc. Do it Edited October 14, 2011 by Gekke Ted Quote
Sokratesz Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 The snow groomer has a bunch of nice parts (the 11x5 racks for starters) but I'm not sure if they're all in the B model. - Sok. Quote
