Hello,
I am looking for a little advice for selling LEGO's. I came across a huge lot at a yard sale last weekend, and I am in way over my head! My son loves and plays LEGO's all the time, but I don't know much about all of the different sets, and for sure not anything about selling them. Well, over the last week I have done a bunch of research and figured out what most of the sets are, and research into selling them. I was mostly just search Ebay, (is it OK to say that here??), but then I came upon this site and bricklink as I was doing my research.
My question and what I could use some advice on is the best way to sell LEGO's for a novice? I know I could sell them as one huge lot, but that I would make a lot more money (it seems) if I break them up into sets and minifigures. Some of the sets are the Christmas Train, Arkham Asylum, Batmobile 7781Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix with Dolores, Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank, Battle at the Pass, Indiana Jones, Airport 10159, Old emergency Hospital, star wars stuff - lots of minifigures, Corner Cafe 10182, viking ship, and lots of random bricks.
Most of the sets do not have boxes or instructions and most of them are missing pieces. So they would be "as is" sets. For example, if I were to sell them on Ebay, is it best to start at a really low bid to get interest, or to start it at the minimum price I would be willing to take? Is it best to sell the minifigures separate, or in lots of 5, or with their partial sets?
I know that is a lot of questions. I am also going to look into selling on here and bricklink - but I am guessing that Ebay is easiest for a beginner? I already know Ebay, just not anything about selling LEGO's.
Thank you SO much for your help, I really appreciate it!
