lego89 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Blue Bucket; Retired; Why is this so popular? Had some spare sets laying around that my kids never used so I looked at eBay and was shocked to find that they were going for $30+ Anyone know why? Should I hold on to them? Some ppl are asking for crazy amount of money for the set that I consider to be generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 nothing special about it, there's only a very few listed on BL & they are mostly at the $30 price range - part-out is <$20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some ppl are asking for crazy amount of money for the set that I consider to be generic. i noticed this a long time ago and these buckets are good money. i have been loading up on them. i don't know why they sell so good but they are easy to sell. the pink versions which i have 20 of actually have some rare parts but the farm bucket is just plain bread and butter. i sold a lot of 4 of these last week for $139 bin free shipping - paid $7.50 each x 4=$30 in August at a grocery store clearance sale. i would sell them now - i think additional gains will be modest.

nolanfan34 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I think these get sold to people who just do searches for "Lego bricks" without much other info. I bought a couple bigger brick bins that were retired recently for $30 each at a local drug store, and both sold for $140+ each on Amazon. Makes no sense, but not questioning it.

exciter1 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've sold many of these to international buyers, but I'm not sure why. They pay big $$$ for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
