Orrefan Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hey all! I'm looking to purchase some bulk LEGO on Craigslist and take a run at selling it in pounds sorted by color. I came across a lot that the seller estimates to be around 25 lbs going for $50. If it was all LEGO, that would be pretty great, but I don't have a way to confirm. Pictures are attached and look like a mixed bag. What indications should I look for to decide if it's worth it? Also, if anyone can identify the road plates pictured, that would be appreciated. I haven't figured them out so far. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardkid Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 25 lbs for $50 is pretty good. Does it include minifigs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 That's a low buy in but I don't see much there. Personally I would pass, esp if there are no figs or manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No minifigs that I'm aware of, unfortunately, and I'd imagine they'd want to advertise them and/or demand more money if they were present. 3 minutes ago, marcandre said: That's a low buy in but I don't see much there.

I might decide to take it a punt, buy it, and just keep the parts for building if it doesn't work out, but I haven't decided yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman720 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I see a couple pieces to some kind of ship (maybe pirate). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowprofile Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 50 lbs with box and road plates and those air car shooters, is still rubbish, i would not buy these 5 dollar sets that nobody wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orrefan Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 ^ Probably so. The decision ended up being taken out of my hands anyway - the lady who listed the lot contacted me saying she had others interested to buy for more. No way I was going to go beyond $50 and enter a bidding war on craigslist, so I let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) for 25lb @ $50 thats a great deal. $75 would have still been good. There are some power miner sets in there which are fun to build. Last bulk lot my wife bought at a big consignment sale had some PM sets in it. This was in that CL 25lb lot.

exciter1 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I found about 25lbs today at a garage sale advertised on Craigslist, but didn't even want to offer $20 for it all. I saw mostly City and random other themes in there. All jumbled together and I didn't want the work. I did pull out 24 minifigs (Star Wars, astromechs, and Super Heroes). They only charged me $0.25 each ($6). I rarely check the garage sale section, but took a peek this morning and the first listing had "Legos" in it. Drove over real quick on break this morning and it took about a 1/2 hour to sort through what I wanted. I had to find the right helmets, heads, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
