[HELP] How to Sell my entire Technic Collection?

[rumpletump]

You should ask user Paul B about how to sell all your stuff I think he has done it about 4 times.. No that he is online here at the moment but he might respond to a pm or something.

If I was in NL I would buy it, and part it out myself! There's a good chance you can find someone nearby who is interested in doing that.

[Balrog]

If I had the funds, I would help you out on this. And it could be combined with a nice trip to the Netherlands. Sorry to see you go.

For the people asking about individual sets/parts: I am first trying to sell the whole collection at once (with a huge discount). If that fails, I will look into selling individual sets/parts.

I second that. It's more the distance for me though.

I hope you maintain your involvement with Rebrickable ... its highly valued.

@jantjeuh:

Do you consider selling the sets as a lot and the loose parts as another lot? I do not care much for any of the sets, as I have my own collection, but I might consider buying the parts for MOCs.

This is so tempting...

I do live in The Netherlands and I do have the funds at hand...

It would bring my parts collection from 75.000 to well over 100.000 parts in one big leap...

And all the very rare parts (#3 connectors!) are included as well!

Can someone make up a reason why I should not do it?

Well, the sets aren't parted out right now, so it's basically a big heap of loose parts Furthermore, these sets contain a lot of rare/expensive parts (lots of PF stuff, lots of pneumatic actuators, PP tyres, panels, etc.) that are very useful for MOC'ing.

Well, it will burn a hole in your wallet And yeah, my collection contains a lot of expensive and rare parts (like the aforementioned #3 connectors in red).

Ah I see, so basically any buyer will get bucketloads of loose parts.

It is tempting, but it represents a considerable investment (€5000 - €10000 range was mentioned I believe). That is a nice real life car or motorcycle where I live.

I don't think I can justify this to myself.

[jantjeuh]

The total worth is approximately 5K euro (going by average BL pricing, not sure how accurate this is), but I'm willing to go much lower if that means I can get sell it all at once, as discussed earlier in this thread

[Sato]

Have the funds and ability to buy the entire collection, Just not a 100% sure yet as storage space already is an issue.

going to take a good day to think about it.

i would consider it an investment, if someone buy the entire lot at a good price....and they have the time to sort through everything and start listing parts on BL, over time they could recoup there investment and eventually make a profit...over time.

the red #3 alone are like 7 Euro a pop!

These days you only have to buy one or two flagships to have several thousand parts...

The problem with red #3 connectors is they are only worth having if you have 41 of them!
