    99,9% of open box Lego is not complete… So if you do decide to buy, you know you’ll have to deal with missing pieces. Friends are not your friend… hard to resell.

    I took all my grandson’s legos and separated the pieces by color. Then I took the instruction manuals, found the pieces and put them in a separate ziploc bag with the manual.
    Remember a lady told you if you were missing a piece, Lego will send it to you.

  • @maggiewhite0607
    @maggiewhite0607 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    The lady selling the Legos sounds pretty uncertain that all of the pieces are there and all of the pieces are in the right boxes. You should have listened to her more closely. I think she was pretty upfront about the condition of the sets.

    The LEGO manuals have a list of pieces in the back. You can try to use that to make it easier. I buy bulk Lego and have to deal with that. I breakdown and sort by color, and then use the back of the manual to piece them out! Give your kids something to do lol.

  • @karenlee2
    @karenlee2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I don’t think the Lego is a bad buy. They're expensive, if you just leave it when it's "retired" the price most likely go up. Get your kids to piece everything back together lol

  • @bone_thrower
    @bone_thrower 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hey bro. I own a Bricks & Minifigs store. All I deal in is Lego. For future reference do not buy open sets unless they are fully assembled so you can verify completeness. I pay bulk prices for partially assembled sets and it averages about $3/lb. On the other hand, fully built sets have a huge resale market and are typically a very good investment.

  • @nnyjim
    @nnyjim ปีที่แล้ว +5

    my big mistakes happen with glassware like murano glass and others. i swear i look them over closely even feeling for chips, cracks and find them in perfect condition. until i buy it and get it to the car. then i see, plain as day, the chip. and realize it's worthless. can't even tell you how many times that has happened.

  • @adriennenelson759
    @adriennenelson759 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I think she accurately relayed that she truly had no idea if all the pieces were in the boxes. She was just giving an example with the bus set. Have your kids reassemble the sets and keep them busy for hours.

    Well, when I buy something that turns out to be a not so good buy, I will get what I can for it anyways. Some $ is better than no $. I just figure I'm making garage sale type sales on those items. And I try and offset losses with good profits on other items. When I'm not sure if I want to really buy something for a certain price, I have a "pause clause" I give it an extra minute or two to decide whether or not to buy it.

    I worked in the.home electronics department at Kmart many many years ago while in college. People would return merchandise to the customer service desk for a refund and the employees never checked the contents. I had several instances where a returned box had a different used item switched inside. Perhaps that guy bought the radio without ever opening it and sold it to you with a switched item inside. You never know. He may have been honest with you, maybe not.

    I’ll take those Harry Potter legos off your hands! Lol! That wasn’t a bad buy as far as cost, although the friends sets are notorious for going down in value, not up. So I would have passed on those, but the other sets are worth it if the pieces are all there. But I understand if you don’t want to go through it all and sort it out. That’s kind of the part that I love doing. It’s like finding treasure to me. But your real money is in the minifigs. So start scanning those and see if you have any good ones. Might get your money back with just the minifigs if there are good ones in there.
