marcandre Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 First thing I would recommend is don't think of it as investing. It's Lego reselling. Be prepared to deal with all the ups and downs of selling before you start buying up sets. If you have sold on ebay or amazon you already know all the headaches that can come with that. If not read up. Welcome to the group. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Builder Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Welcome fellow Texan!! As my follow LEGO "re-sellers" have told you, it's going to be a lot of work, but I find it fun! Are you planning on doing this as another stream of income? Or just for fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NativeTexan Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thank You for the Replies. I'm looking at this as something fun for now. My son is really into LEGO's and as I continue to read and research I'm starting to catch the fever. It's very therapeutic . There are some really beautiful sets out there old/new and retiring (Ideas, Architect and others) . I'm trying to be patient, reading the current and older post to gleam knowledge of what are viable sets (about to retire) to hold and later sell (NIB). I've sold a few items on ebay (not a lot though) and their is a pucker factor not knowing who is on the other end of a sale/purchase. I've looked at the Bricklink marketplace and have a few questions regarding how pricing is determined. Being in the US I notice that there are a lot of re-sellers in a wide variety of locations (Asia, Europe, Australia along with the US). Question... In your brick stores, do you see most of your customers being local, your regional geographic area (Europe, North America, Asia), or is it random? Reason I ask is that I see many of the US sellers with slightly higher prices compared to the Asian stores. This is a generality based upon the sets I looked up, not individual pieces.
