Pako Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi, So as all the forum rules say, let's introduce myself first: I am french and live in France (don't know if there is much frenchies around), I went back into lego start of 2015, essantially collecting Star Wars theme. I kept a few boxes sealed planning to build them later, then I saw the value of those boxes rising and decided to sell a few, made a bit of profit with the cantina set in particular, that's where the idea to auto-finance my collection started. I am now still collecting a bit but use lego essantially as a saving account with a rate way better than the average 0.75% in the bank here. I buy things I like only and it always worked for me, I know some of you will say lego investing is coming to an end, that TabbyBoy has retired 100 times already... The day I think this won't be worth it anymore I'll stop but for now it's ok. I dont buy 99 times a set, I don't do much quickflip and I think everyone got his own "strategy" in the game, sticking to one theme or not... So after reading you for a bit I decided to share on this forum, you've all got great experiences and it's always good to take advices.

TANV Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Bienvenue! If you haven't read @Phil B yet, I recommend reading the following as you start navigating this madhouse and diving down the rabbit hole: Fundamentally, I believe the most important rule is that you enjoy LEGO in its most basic form: building and playing. The selling is always a bonus. Bonne chance! Edited December 13, 2016 by TANV Spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksBrotha Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Welcome, also I couldn't agree more with TANV. If you haven't already, give the above article by Phil B a read. Very insightful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
