Best way to list Lego?

[jellybirddesigns]

I have a large amount of Lego (maybe 10-15kg) to list and was just wondering -

a) Is it better to dump everything together (although far too heavy to post realistically)

b) Sell off in mixed lots of 1kg

c) Sort it into different components and sell those (ie: windows, wheels, flat pieces, connectors etc)

If anyone has experience listing this stuff I would love to hear from you.

Every method you mention has its pros and cons

A bulk lot means only one listing & listing fee

Breaking it down to kilograms means more listings and photos (and packing) etc and fees but should bring a better price per kilogram

Breaking it down even further means a lot more work but would yield the greatest profit by far-but it could take a long time to sell it all

This method  of small lots would probably work best in an eBay store where the listings could sit indefinitely until the buyer (for example) of the 'red ridge capping roof tiles x 15' comes along

I'd look at completed listings to get an idea of what sells and you can gauge what bulk kilogram lots usually sell for

Good luck with it

Thanks Rocket,

I have a store, and my listings are BIN and Good Until Cancelled, and there are no listing fees, fortunately.

If I go with option B, I could have 1 listing with a number of pics and an available quantity of 10, so in this case it would just be FVF as each kilo pack was sold.

Option C is definitely the most time consuming, but perhaps the most profitable in the long run.

As you say, each method has it's pros and cons - I will do as you suggest and look at completed listings to better guage.

I don't know the best way to sell lego but would it be possible to divide the bricks into colours and then sell by weight and as previously suggested have the smaller quantity items like windows listed in lots of windows, doors etc?

I only say this because when I was a child my mother would have loved to have been able to buy a huge quantity of just one colour to stop my sister and I always fighting over the red bricks, there were never enough red to go around.
