Mindbender Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Here's the text of the ad... Selling my Lego building set with people #190. It is a 526 piece set ( may be missing a few) I got as a kid in the seventies. Box is rather beat up. Asking for $25.00. Ad will go down when sold. No shipping,trading or delivering. Contact me @ show contact info 9am-9pm Mon-Sat. Leave message if I do not answer as I may be busy at the time. My schedule is flexible so pickup may be the same day you call. Deal? I don't know much about very old sets. Edited January 19, 2015 by Mindbender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroster Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Not a lot of data but yeah, a set from the 70's for 25 bucks? I'd be grabbing that. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=190-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hard to tell what it's worth, but for $25, it's work the risk. I'd buy it. My only problem is that it would take a while to sell. It is not as popular as some other sets from the 70's like the Classic Space sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindbender Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ha, never mind. Used the search function. I'm getting it in a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindbender Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys. That's what I thought. On my phone so limited searching capabilities. Edited January 19, 2015 by Mindbender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindbender Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Ok, have to update with pics. Went out and was able to get the box set for $20. I took pictures of some mini figs that definitely don't belong to the box set (Futuron, M-tron and Blacktron). Where do I start with this? This is my first lego craigslist buy. While I was there I also bought the tinker toy set for $8. I left and he called me back and said he found more Legos! Of course I drove back and he handed me the bin and said have a great night! Great guy! $0. Edited January 19, 2015 by Mindbender 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 For $20, solid buy. Vintage stuff is great, but I agreed with the following: Hard to tell what it's worth, but for $25, it's work the risk. I'd buy it. My only problem is that it would take a while to sell. It is not as popular as some other sets from the 70's like the Classic Space sets. The Space sets are uber popular, there is a huge fanbase for any of the older sets in that theme. As a side note, it`s part of the reason so many of us have been talking about Benny`s Spaceship from the Lego Movie, closest thing Lego has come to vintage Space in 2 decades (give or take). In this case for $20, I think it`s a great buy, what you can sell it for to the right buyer, provided everything is there, could be anywhere from $20+. There just isn`t a huge market for these sadly, but to the right buyer you could get a solid amount of cash. That`s really not the point though, it`s not every day you get to buy vintage stuff, and for $20 like I said, I`d have bought it as well just for the experience. The Tinker Toy and the Tub are just awesome extras, so congrats man! How much is in it by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindbender Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks, yea not sure what I'm going to do with it all yet. The experience was fun. The bin actually has 396 pieces. Shocker! The 70s box set I'm saving for tomorrow, I'll update when I count and see what's missing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
