I had a great idea to get bulk Lego cheap, and I would like your
input:
I want to put flyers up at my local college advertising that I buy
Lego for some price per pound, hoping that incoming students will see
this as an opportunity to get easy money by unloading their unused
toys.
Since I won't necessarily be buying complete sets, I don't know what
price to offer so that I get the bricks cheap, but good enough that
peopl estill answer the ad ;)
Do you have any ideas how much money (US$) a pound of bricks is worth?
Or, should I come up with a different method of setting the value of
random bricks?
Thanks for the help!

| (...) Good idea, although I would expand to high schools also. If you wait till kids are in college, parents might sell everything at a garage sale or save it for the grandkids.

| (...) Depends on the quality of the pieces, how much non-lego stuff is mixed in, whether or not you can identify possible sets in the mix (look for rare pieces, partial construction, etc).
