sunkissedfaith Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Hi all, I am new here and have a questions. Is there a place for me to sell my Lego Store credit on here? My son had gotten a lot of Lego sets for Christmas/Birthday/ect over the past year from people and they were not Superhero sets (which is all he cares about!). I returned them to the Lego store and now have a huge credit ($444!) I know I prob wont use up anytime soon. I was hoping to sell it for $400 somewhere, but not sure where is a good place? Thank you!

Kriterian Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Everyone here seems to use cardpool.com but I've never seen the Lego Store on that site. I'm sure you'll be inundated with offers really soon though. Quote
naf Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Is it in the form of a gift card? You can probably sell it on a site like raise.com or cardpool.com (they buy gift cards and resell them for a discount) or on ebay. You can also put up a local ad on craigslist. People trade here on the site, but there's definitely a trust factor with that, and being a new member it would probably be more difficult for you than the above avenues. Quote
sunkissedfaith Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Naf, its "Store Credit" so I don't know if thats different than a gift card...I have the reciept and everything for the store credit. I would do ebay but the 12% plus shipping/insurance almost makes it not worth it for me. Quote
sunkissedfaith Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Naf also, if I am paid through paypal wouldnt that protect the buyer though if it were a scam (which its not! lol I'm just a mom to 4 boys) Quote
naf Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Naf also, if I am paid through paypal wouldnt that protect the buyer though if it were a scam (which its not! lol I'm just a mom to 4 boys) Yes, I believe so if the payment is sent "for goods and services" and not "as a gift." I've never had store credit to a Lego store, but if you just have a receipt for the credit then it might be tied to your Lego VIP account (do you have one?) Some stores will just put the credit on a physical gift card. I'm sure others here have more experience with Lego store credit and can chime in. Quote
sunkissedfaith Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Could you point me to where I would list it here on this site? I would def pay the 3% Paypal fee for the "good and services" for peoples peace of mind Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Welcome to the site! You have to have at least 25 posts to offer a trade in the treading form and it must be trade no selling and no trading for cash I'm sure you have had PM offers but I would recommend the sites already mentioned or even your local craigslist.

sunkissedfaith Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Sorry Stephen, I didnt realise! Thank you for the info Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 No need for an apology! Are you gonna start investing in lego? It's a great way to supplement your kids lego habit! Quote
naf Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I didn't realize there were restrictions there either, sorry. I've never used the trading section before. Quote
Ed Mack Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I have a better idea...Take the credit and go buy a Haunted House, Maersk Triple E and any Modular house(You can even use an Arkham Asylum as a replacement for any of the three) and place them in a safe spot. In 5 years, pull them out and resell them. You can thank me later... 2 Quote

sunkissedfaith Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 I have done a little investing, have a bunch of Superhero sets I got at a big discount and put away..I figure that with 4 sons Batman/ Superhero sets are win-win even if they dont appreciate 1 Quote
