Bulk LEGO Brick Prices?

[Upnya]

What is the going rate for bulk LEGO bricks? If I were to offer someone $3/lb would that be an insult? Is there any money to be made in re-selling these? Thanks!

Have you taken a look at our Bulk LEGO listings? Basically just pick the weight you are looking to buy/sell and you can see what people are paying on eBay for these weights. You can also filter by specific types of sets/colors that they listed. You will see some price difference based on the sets they seller says is included in the bulk. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/bulkdata.cfm

I just PM'd you and $3 a pound for garage sale LEGO bricks is fair. It's at least a starting point. Clean bricks with no garbage is maybe worth a bit more. Sorting the bricks by type and color can double the price. Gray/grey/translucents are very expensive.

For comparison purposes, one pound of new Lego bricks purchased at the Clubhouse at Legoland California costs $39.96!!!!! That was one week ago today. These were ordinary pieces, not unusual or special colors or elements.
