Great video. I started on Bricklink a month ago and your videos have been super helpful especially the one about how to sort bulk. Do you do something similar when you are listing sorted bulk? List the best setting categories first? If so which bulk parts do you try and get up the fastest? Plates and tiles? or something else?
For bulk I just list whatever I got first, first in first out. Because I have paid for the parts, and for it to be sorted twice, I want to get it for sale as soon as possible. Bulk category's values do not fluctuate that much, so it is more a matter of listing as much as possible, and not being selective.
Awesome video. I tried brickstock myself, is there a easy way to see in which color specific items exist. Sometimes its hard for me to find the right color of my item. Greetings from Germany.
I currently buy items to sell on eBay and have been faciniated by buying lego in bulk to part out like this. I have sold several lots of lego by the pound over the years. If I was to get into buying lego by the pound to part out what is a good rate to pay per pound to make sure I make profits on selling parts? Thank you!
It is obviously up to preference, but I like to pay about half or a bit under what I pay for the raw parts per lb. Let me know if you end up making the leap and embarking on the used bulk journey!
Dude, you really need to wash used Lego before you sort and definitely before you list. You can see your hands go from clean to very dirty over the course of your "cherry picking" video. I have a feeling that your just posting this unwashed stuff right on BL...gross
Appreciate the help, but my hand actually had permanent marker on it all day, hence the “very dirty hands” The lego would need to have been soaked in motor oil or something to give that appearance. Thanks for the concern, but hundreds of positive feedback praising my used parts quality says otherwise.
Washing before sorting is a bad idea. All the stickers will come off in warm soapy water, and metal parts (like in wheels) will start to rust. You really need to sort before washing. Or leave the washing to the buyer, because washing takes a lot of time, while the extra returns are negligible. I only wash parts when they really look dirty.
Thanks for the vlog David
Of course! Thanks for watching Luke!

Yes. On brickstore you can search by known colors. On bricklink you can also see known colors.
Where are people selling all these huge bins of Lego? Ebay?
Facebook, eBay, Craigslist, Shopgoodwill, Offerup
