Hi there guys

Need your opinion... Sadly I have to quit LEGO due to financial reasons. So I was wondering which place do I sell the sets.... I have around 400+ which range from Modulars, Creators, Expert, City... Basically all the themes across the board... I need to upload it by end f August and I am looking for outlets

Thanks in advance

For everyone who keeps asking me to PM the sets... Can you just PM me what sets you want... The problem with everyone who keeps on asking. They keep lowballing the price or just fishing for information sad.gif. I list all of the items and then you say you are not interested. So to save me time to list down all 400+ sets... just tell when what are you looking for via PM. and I'll try my best to answer...

Thanks

Where to sell online: Post in LYN garage sales, Facebook (just search for Lego sales groups), ebay, mudah, bricklink, etc. There are more people looking to buy Lego there than in this thread. smile.gif

How to sell: You need a list of items you are selling. Price is optional but be prepared to entertain a lot of requests for prices and discounts (this is Malaysia after all smile.gif ). Also, state your dealing method - COD location, and do you offer postage option for outstation buyers?

Tips:
1) Don't tell people that you are quitting for financial reasons and need to let go by August. You're putting yourself at a disadvantage here, as prospective buyers will take advantage and offer lower prices if they feel you are desperate to sell fast.
2) It's normal for buyers and collectors to shop around for best deals. So expect to entertain a lot of inquiries that do no lead to sales.
3) You say you have 400 sets to let go. That is a big collection. Are you planning to sell everything? Some sets will be easier to sell than others - factors to consider are demand, avaialability (is a set hard to find, retired?), and most importantly, your PRICE.
4) Do your research on market prices for each set. There are many sellers nowadays, so you got to price you items competitively against the market price.
5) Consider how much TIME you want to invest in selling - posting items-for-sale online, communicating with prospective buyers (this takes a lot of time, believe me!), closing the deal (arranging for COD, payments, packing and sending off packages at post office).
6) Consider bulk or bundle offers if you really need to let go your entire collection fast. This will save you lots of time but you must be willing to offer greater discounts to encourage collectors to take up the bulk/bundle offer that may include some undesirable sets like Chima, Ninjago, City, etc.

All the best with your sales. I look forward to seeing your sales list too. (Y) biggrin.gif
