Selling my LEGO!

[LordCyber]

So, I'm selling my LEGO. All of it. I'm selling my figurines to my friends, but, how much can I sell a kilo for? Basically "normal" peaces. I have all my rare parts in another container. So, nothing rare. Just average, normal lego.

The cost of LEGO varies quite a lot from country to country. If you're in Sweden - which I'm guessing by the tag in your post - you can probably charge more than you could in, say, the US. So asking here may not give you any particularly good answers. My best advice would be to have a look here - that should give you an idea of what it's worth.

But why? I am scarry after reading your decision, can that happen to me?

Just set an average price per brick then go from there... I know in the US, a brick can go from like $0.15 to $0.25 per piece depending on the size. Just add all your bricks up and multiple it by the average price per piece.

Say you have 1000 pieces... $0.25 X 1,000 bricks = $250. Just a thought...

Excuse me? You must be made of money if you're wiling to pay THAT much for used bricks! Just buy one of the modulars for $150 and you'll get twice that amount of bricks! New!

I'd say €/$ 15 a kilo is a fair price… at least that's the amount I normally get for the lots I sell

Exactly average price of LEGO per kilo (KG) varies between 10€ - 20€ in Europe, it really depends on 2 important factors:

1. is it pure LEGO and not mixed

2. Is it clean?

You'll get a much higher value if you can sell complete sets.

I sold 1.3kg of random bricks last week for about a tenner, other people charge about 15-20.

I had the same scary thought

I know in the US, a brick can go from like $0.15 to $0.25 per piece depending on the size.

That's when you chose the bricks that you buy, not when you buy random mixed parts in bulk.

As said above, indeed 10 € / kg is the normal basis price for second-hand parts. If they are like-new and more interesting parts, that may go higher.

But selling complete sets may be more interesting.

I generally look at £10/kg (€13/kg) for bulk. This would generally go higher for lots with more specialized pieces, e.g. technic.

As said earlier, genuine Lego and clean can have a big influence on what you'll get.

The thought of selling "all of it" definitely sends a chill down the spine!
