This past couple weeks there have been some great sales on Lego sets as retailers make room for the 2014 sets. Here are some of my highlights.
First, Amazon had a week of sales up to 40% off certain sets. I scored 3 Lego City High Speed Chase (60007) at 0.06 per piece, and 3 Super Heroes Spider-Cycle Chase (76004) at 0.05 per piece. I sell Lego both on Ebay and BrickLink. On BrickLink, I like to part out sets. The part out value for High Speed Chase is 2.78x cost, which is quite good, and the Spider-Man sets part out at 3.08x, which is great. I listed the minifigures on Ebay and have sold 1 Spider-Man already.
Next, Target had a Buy One Get One 40% Off Sale. I got 2 more High Speed Chase sets at a killer 3.66x part out, and 2 Chima Worriz Combat Lair (70009) - 664 pieces each! - at an astounding 4.30 part out, or 0.04 per piece, which is great for a set of this size.
Finally, Toys R Us has a Buy One Get One 50% Off Sale. In 2 orders I scored 8 Friends Mia's Lemonade Stands (41027) and 4 Friends Emma's Lifeguard Post (41028). I got these not because of a great part out, but because the Lemonade Stand set has the awesome Aqua Colored Scooter. These sell for more than half the price of the whole set. I got the Lifeguard Post sets to get the orders over $49 for free shipping and because it has a cool Light Blue Dolphin. I have sold 1 scooter on BrickLink so far.
The sales are coming to an end now, but yard sale season is right around the corner. My hunt for Lego begins anew! Adios!
Wow, you really know your Lego!
ReplyDeleteFinding good deals on new Lego is rare, so when you do you have to:
ReplyDeleteA) Make sure it's a good deal, and if it is,
B) BUY!
Louis! I need your help! I just bought a 30 pound bag of Lego for $40 and a Millenium Falcon partially assembled for $10. I'm sorting through the 30 pounds and there's Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones. Spongebob, Vikings, Buzz Light year and all kinds of stuff. I'm pulling out the minifigs to sell separately. How should I sell the rest of it? By the pound mixed? By color? I have no idea what's what. I need your advice. You can email me through my profile page. Thanks.

I am really interested in the best way to sell Legos. Whenever I see a good deal on Legos at garage sales, I buy them. I have tubs and tubs of Legos. My kids call that part of the basement The Land of Legos.
ReplyDeleteI haven't sold very many because I am not sure what is the best way to sell them
This is a hard thing to figure out. By the pound? Color? Type? Part? One thing I recommend is sell any minifigures separately. Try and make sure they are put together correctly. As far as everything else, try different things and see what works and what doesn't. Then when you find out, let me know ;)
