Since I was traveling to the east coast for the holidays, I checked Craigslist in areas we were visiting and found some better collections for sale than anything I’d seen in Seattle. I live in Seattle which has a lot of Adult Lego enthusiasts, so it’s harder to find a great deal here. I looked at dozens of used Lego collections on Craigslist listings before I made my first big purchase. How much is this worth? (A recent craigslist posting I saw.) (In my case: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or Architecture.) I also hoped that the collection would include some themes which interest me. My goal was to buy a collection containing many sets which I could sort out and sell for a profit. If you are looking to buy used Lego, you have a couple options: Ebay, Craigslist and Garage Sales to name a few… I prefer Craigslist as you don’t have to worry about shipping, and you can see what you are getting before making a payment. Selling individual used bricks on a site like can yield much higher prices, but it requires a small warehouse to store your bricks and seems like an unbelievable time commitment.īased on these factors, I decided that buying a used collection containing older sets which I can sort into complete sets would be the best approach for me, especially if I could get it for a really low price.More common minifigures sell for about 1$. Rare minifigures from a popular theme like Star Wars can sell for 5-10$ a piece. The value of Lego Minifigures varies greatly.If the bricks are sorted by color or include lots of desirable pieces, they are worth more. The rule of thumb for unsorted Lego is between 6$ and 12$ per pound.6 – 12 months after they are no longer available, used sets usually catch up with MSRP, and can slowly increase in value if they are in high demand. Used Lego sets in good condition are worth between 50% and 75% of retail prices while they are still available in stores.(Many of the large “Exclusive” sets which adult fans want are much harder to buy at a discount.) That said, most sets can be purchased for between 10 and 40% off if you are patient, take advantage of rewards programs and sales.
