After a lot of debate, I have decided to sell my entire Lego collection.
My set list is here: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/mlist.cgi?m=1783
I'm not sure of the best way to go about it. I have saved the instructions from
almost every set I own. I only have one box, for the first set I ever received
(315, European Taxie). I unfortunately do not have any documentation of the
"general" building sets my sister and I received as gifts when we were kids in
the early '70s - only instructions from sets that build a "model." All the
parts are commingled in several large containers. I have been sifting through
them this past week, weeding out the non-lego and sorting into gross categories
- plates/tiles, bricks/slopes, little Technic fiddly bits, etc. It is quite
complete - I was always pretty careful to keep my Lego together, even as a
child.
I'm doing this for mostly economic reasons, so I may wind up just cleaning the
collection up, weighing it and selling it as a collection with a set inventory
and some pics. I realize this method brings probably the least return.
I figure there are a couple other options: use Peeron part inventories to
re-create each set, knowing the sets from the '70s won't have 100% 70's bricks
in them, and selling each set with its instructions; go into business on
BrickLink, selling individual parts (which might take forever); or break up the
sets and pick the highest-valued pieces to sell on Ebay.
I'd appreciate advice at this stage - maybe a strategy I have overlooked.
Thanks,
James Wilson,
