The 10129 UCS Rebel Snowspeeder and 8421 Mobile Crane in particular. The Sante Fe trains are winners also. You might have a couple of thousand dollars in sets there if they are complete with boxes, instructions and all the pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettank Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Ah yeah, definitely selling the Snow Speeder, and my other in box stuff, I would rather not have them damaged in storage, and what do you think about selling most of my Lego stuff now, it seems like most of it is flattening off. OH, and i'm definitely selling the Santa Fe trains, holy crap, I cant believe how much they are worth O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH, and i'm definitely selling the Santa Fe trains, holy crap, I cant believe how much they are worth O.oI'm not here to tell you what to do, only give you some insight. For as many sets that are leveling off, there are sets that are increasing in value, you just have to pick the right ones. Most of your sets are older, so I would expect a leveling off. Sets that are 5 or more years old seem to hit a wall at times, and maybe even depreciate. If you sell them now, you are assured of a profit. In the future, who knows? Storage is a major issue. You are in a good position, though. Another option would be to sell your older sets and buy newer ones that you think will appreciate. There are no easy answers and if LEGO investing was that easy, everyone would do it. Believe me, there are plenty of LEGO investment losers out there, so pick carefully...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettank Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Dang that was fast haha, Ok, yeah, i'm going to sell most of them, right now is no risk, holding them is a risk, so, back to Ebay, and photography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
