ok... well here are 5 ships and 3 big islands.... took a little longer to inventory them and set them up than i thought. Sorry the pictures aren't very good (i dont have a great camera), but they are in better shape than i thought, and all 100% complete!!! I'll try listing some in the buy/sell area on here, if i figure out how ;) thanks for the input... oh... and it took me longer than expected to put them together because i enjoyed 'working' on them ;) I really wish i had a good camera... i'd be really fun to set some scenes up like you all do on here.... ahh... who am i kidding... i'll still set some scenes up

Well thanks for the advice! I spent a while looking at Brinklink to see what they've been selling for. This evening i'm going to spend a lot of time unpacking my sets, and checking for missing pieces. It is sad to think of selling them, i got them out a couple years ago, when i was in need of money, but had to put them back when i remembered how much i loved them and really just how AMAZING they are. maybe i'll take some pictures and post them... make a few people drool ;) But thank you for the help!

Hello all... Brand new member here, and have a question. I live in the U.S... and LOVED... and still do love... legos, particually pirate legos. But do to the economy and trying to clean out storage area, I want to sell a bunch of sets i got when i was young. I believe the 5 ships i have are as follows... Blacks Seas Barricuda, Skulls Eye Schooner, Caribean Clipper, Renegade Runner, and the Imperial Flagship (1992)... the large islands are Rock Island Refuge, Eldorado Fortress, and the Imperial Trading Post.... along with probably 10 or 12 smaller islands, and sets. I have the original Instructions for the 5 or 6 sets in bold, and a lot of the box art (i liked to look at the different designs) I have to do an inventory, and would before i would sell, but i would guess that these sets are 98% complete (i actually cant imagine missing peices, but i'm assuming there could be some... I loved to put the sets together, but i was afraid to ever take them apart, because i didnt want their peices to become mixed up with the rest of my legos. They have been in storage for about 16 or 17 years, are in GREAT shape, all the sails, clean peices... i HATE that i think i'm going to sell them, i loved them so much when i was young, but i know i'll never use them, and i am too afraid of ever letting my own kids play with them someday, because they would not be as meticulous as i was about keeping them all together and in great shape.... and i kind of want someone who really does love these sets like i did/do, to enjoy them. So I guess i'm just wondering how I should go about selling these (ebay? any other sites? individual sets? all together in a lot? etc.) and how much i should expect to sell them for? Thank you all, and i really do appreciate any response, tips, or advice. Chrisjan
