Best way to sell a large Technic Collection

[DrJB]

I have a very large Technic collection (a mix of Sealed/Used/Parts) and would like to sell all at once, if at all possible.

Any community member willing to share input on how to best do that?

I could list all on Bricklink, but that's going to take a lot of work .. and I do not have much of that lately.

Thank You

Maybe some (online) auction site might be worth a try. I don't know if, for example, Catawiki exists in the USA (at least it does in the Netherlands), they work with experts, some even specifically for LEGO auctions, that can estimate a proper value for your entire collection. You will probably be able to find a similar auction platform around your place. I've never used it myself, but I've seen very large collections going for large prizes.

You'll have to do an inventory count at some point, listing all the parts. It's still time consuming. It may be quicker to take out the expensive parts, sell them in alone or in a lot (or smaller lots), and sell the rest in bulk.  I don't think there's a quick way to do this and sell it for its proper value.

Thank you Gentlemen. Good point about not getting a fair value. Though one has to balance how much time they have ... :)

Which is more valuable/attractive, a built-up set or one cleaned/washed/sorted in individual bags? Does it matter in the end?

I have several assembled technic sets that are on shelves ... and picked up some dust over the years.

Anyone from this community interested in few Technic sets? I can post a list if there is interest ... Unimog / Arocs / 41999 / ...

Built sets that are complete have the best value I think
