NEW BRICKPICKER MEMBER FAQs & INVESTMENT QUESTIONS

[Bold-Arrow]

Hello. I'm relatively new to the site and my family and I are really into searching out great deals on Legos. My brother are fairly knowlegable about the sets and the history of Lego, but we're new to the wheeling and dealing aspect of the market. What would you suggest to a beginner in the Lego investing field? How can we start to build our inventory and make a bit of profit along the way?

 

Thanks,

        Michael

Hi Michael and welcome to the site. if you are looking to build your inventory then I suggest you follow the daily deals thread. There are a few good sales right now (Toys R Us, Target) and everything gets updated every few hours. Also there are tons on articles to cover from buying to storage to selling/collecting, I would strongly recommend you go thru those, they helped my a lot.. Good luck

Hello Im Karl from Sweden.

 

By the way I want to have 14 more posts before I can start a new topic in the trading forum. Anyone who has a really complicated subject they want to discuss with me for 14 posts? Come on lets dig into it!

Oh dear. Interesting method of getting to the required number of posts. The post requirement is made to make members get a feel of how you "roll" so to speak, and whether or not they feel comfortable working with you in the case of a trade. Repeated posts in the introduction forum won't get you very far. I suggest responding to other exhisting topics, that will give members a better idea of who you are, and quite possibly, make them more willing to trade with you.

That was awful!  Comicblast was 100% correct.  I don't put a limit in there for people to just spam the hello section.  Maybe I will raise it 100.

[Guest kabo0686]

I'm sorry it is understood, I was happy about the trading section and then I got a little impatient.

 

This is a great site. And I will try to be an asset rather than *******. 

 

edit:

 

aha that was a really bad word..

Hi,

Ballpark, what is the price per lb someone should be paying for used lego?

Hi,

Here is a good thread to look at since it talks about bulk, used Lego buying. Link.

If you want to find a good price for a specific lot, click here. After you scroll down you will see place where you can enter the theme(s), color(s), and the minimum price of a lot. It will then give you the average price people pay based off of eBay listings. I hope that helped! If you have anymore questions please ask.

Set 70110 is listed at $80+ but on ebay generally less $40?

Thanks for the last two responses.

No selling. Just trading. Keep it in the forum for trading. Maybe just add [AUS] to the title.

The classifieds will be here soon

Hello how do you change your picture to something different.

Hello,

I just joined this website and spent a few evenings trying to learn everything possible about it.

I am very interested in LEGO investing and reselling. I purchased my first sets yesterday.

I have 3 used sets in excellent condition that I have been able to research the applicable number.

But, 1 set I cannot locate the identification number. If I post the picture, would anyone be interested in helping me?
