I am about to buy a massive collection of lego from someone. Unfortunately,
there are no boxes and all the lego is mixed up. Over a hundred instruction
manuals are included with the lot (some of the set numbers would make your hair
curl) which represent about 50% of the lego that's there.
Has anyone here ever done this, and is it worth the bother of spending weeks
sifting through the lego? I basically want to keep about a third of it and
sell of the rest so that it pays for itself.
My main concern is irreplaceable missing pieces, and how this would affect the
value of sets.
