Howdy-

I've been out of the LEGO loop for a while & want to turn some of my old sets
into cash.  What's the recommended outlet for doing so these days...eBay or
another source?  Is there any accepted pricing guide to use as a rule of thumb
for set values?  Pretty much all of these sets are in great shape, include
instructions, & don't have boxes.

I made a list of my sets that I figured would be worth more & did some rough
searching on eBay for completed & in-process auctions & compiled some rough
values for what the sets seem to be worth, so I can focus my efforts on the ones
that make the most sense.  If anybody has any feedback on how reasonable these
prices seem, or wants to make me an offer, I'd very much appreciate a quick
e-mail to dante@infernolab.com.


Thank you very much!
-Jason

(...) Hi Jason, Before you list on eBay or even agree to sell your sets privately I suggest you investigate (URL) AuctionBrick> and (URL) BrickLink>.

(...) BrickLink or Ebay will likely get you the most bang for your buck, as well as possibly AuctionBrick (although I'm not sure how end prices compare over there compared to BL & Ebay). Ebay's a gamble-- some things you may get more value, some (...) (20 years ago, 20-Oct-04, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
