There is Cafe Corner, Green Grocer, Grand Carousel, other modulars. Some custom MOCs, entire bin of baseplates. I only am 6 boxes in.

Huskers1236 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Whoever owned that before had a gigantic Lego city built at some point. That is an amazing haul. I'm sure they had no idea what they were sitting on there. The box of road baseplates alone is worth $500-1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 What are your goals now that you own this? Investigate inventory numbers and then consider reselling individual sets? I wouldn't know what to do with or how to store this kind of haul. I am not into modulars or trains which is maybe why this, while a good deal, would take a good amount of time to eventually sell off and get rid of. For you, are you thinking you will keep 25% of the sets or are you looking for a complete flip? Always love to hear the details and plans for hen someone scores big like this.

The only lot close to this I ever bought was around $3300 from another member and turned it into ~$10000 between what i sold and kept. This lot is much better.

Should be more like $5/lbs, and then still there isn't much of value in this lot. Easy pass if it were me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, not sure how serious everyone is, but I would for a fact buy in at that price. Pretty sure I'm a couple days drive away, though. I'm pretty sure Elkkthunder is holding onto this one.

Elkkthunder Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 new lot thoughts on this older train stuff and this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 new lot The train stuff is just ok, because it's not the DB sets. I have a couple of trains and some crossings and it's really quite pretty when setup, especially if you have the lighting posts and switches. Be sure to check for corrosion.I sold off some of the sets and found it slow to sell, because it's such a small market.Similar issues with the service station, because it's not the airport, but it will sell at some point and it's probably in good condition based on that collection. It's such a great precursor to the 90s octan stations, which were the best ones imo.The SW technic sets are easy sales along with the dragon castle and bionicles.I'm personally interested in some of the train accessories/sets depending on what you end up getting.
