Most supermarkets in the U.S. will accept plastic bags for recycling—including
resealable baggies (someone correct me if I am wrong).
You also could try to find someone local who will take them, as it's generally
cheaper to buy new ones than to ship them somewhere.

I'm sending people, it doesn't completely evens out but it keeps the

This is especially true if you get to know that some rare parts are going to
be used in a large project that may end-up in a show, museum or make a simple

| Thanks for all the replies everyone, I really appreciate all of the help.
If I was to sell the parts individually, is there an easy way to tell what era
the bricks are from, or is it best to give a rough guess? As I mentioned in the
first post almost all of the bricks are older than me, so I'm not so confident
that I'll be able to distinguish the eras by myself.
Also is there a way to find a fair price for older pieces, since the 6 month
sale average will be mostly newer bricks, or should I try to come up with prices
myself?
Thank you again for all the advice everyone, it means a lot to me!

| I have decided to open my store again which specialises in part kits and spares
and or repairs items.
My headline offer is the original space shuttle (8480) in fair condition and
with about 98% of parts, all motors worked when I dismantled it as did fibre
optics.
If you need any obscure parts send me a message, star wars, city, technic, thousands
of mainly small parts.
enjoy the shop if you visit, all parts not inventoried due to there being so
many, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it.

| The only way you can know what set a common part comes from is if it's assembled
with at least 2 other parts (see https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?viewMulti=Y
). My current LEGO bin contained several small assemblies I've been able
to attribute to specific sets, mostly ones I'd already identified. It helped
with the process of sorting parts between sets.

All true, but the OP's store already has parts listed for sale.
At the very least it's a good idea, if completing the sets is difficult,
to separate out the minifigs before trying to sell the parts in one batch.

A few years ago I bought a box of very old lego and I'm currently trying
to split it into sets to sell on Bricklink. Most of the sets are much older than
me, so I don't know any of them very well.
Basically it's a medium sized box of random parts from someone's collection,
the problem is that I'm really struggling to form incomplete sets from the
parts, as it seems that there is no more than 50% of any set.
For example I have a boat, which I believe is from set 314 (1976) because of
the stickers attached, but not many of the other pieces.
I also have one of the big red boat pieces from set 7244 (2005) and the sticker
sheet, but not many other pieces.
I also have lots of pirate minfigs, some of which I think have come from set
6258 (1992), but I'm really struggling to tell what set these come from as
lots of the pirates are present in multiple sets.
What I'm trying to ask is, does anyone have any experience with a similar

| If you're missing a lot, its better to sell the parts. When listing them,
be sure to write in the comments what Era they are from. There are buyers looking
for older bricks in particular.

| If you know you're missing a lot of parts (especially the more rare parts),
it would not make any sense to try to acquire the missing pieces unless you frequently
buy lots from a similar era and don't mind holding onto them and eventually
completing. That being said, it's a lot more work and the sets themselves
will sell slower than individual pieces and figs.
I'd strongly recommend just listing figs and rare parts separately (identifying
the likely sets makes this a lot easier).

| I'm sorry about that, I have been looking at how expensive any given set
I can complete from my unsorted LEGO bins is, but ultimately if the set doesn't
have some sort of appeal to me I won't go forward with the process of part
collection and putting it for sale, since I will have to have the set around
for some while before someone buys it from me, and I can only have so much space
dedicated to LEGO in my apartment.

| You definitely aren't, when I sold my 8868 Airtech Claw Rig at 16, I immediately
regretted it.
However, now that I'm back into the business of selling LEGO, I don't
really sell my own, I sell sets and parts from bins I found on the street
or purchased on Craigslist. I have less attachment to it so it makes it easier.
Still, I don't put everything I got for sale, only the parts I'm sure
I won't need to complete a set or a MOC, like stickered parts or parts in
colors that are specific to a single set.
This is why my shop has so few parts for sale, the rest of my collection is off-limit.
I tried to sell some basic bricks to make some space in my drawers, and the next
month I realized I needed some of the parts I sold and that I would have to buy
them again. We're talking about pennies lost, but it felt worse than the
financial loss.
This is why I probably won't be suckered into buying sets to part them to
sell. In fact I'm committed to do the exact opposite, reassembling sets from
loose collection, the investigative work and the part collection are fun hobbies
for me.

Yeah that's true. Well, I'm selling used parts from my old sets, but
using some of that money to fund lego mocs, so I guess I haven't felt that

You are not the only one. I am currently in the process of liquidating my LEGO
collection and while it is nice to have all that extra space and cash, it is
sad to see the old LEGO go away. Of course, you could always by more sets and
start the process all over again

Light gray was not a very normal color back then, but black, white, red and blue

The castle is yellow, the light gray is used for helmets, weapons, shields and
vests.
The other visors are different from their light gray helmets, but are the same

White knight, white suit and white visor, red knight red suit and red visor,
black knight, black suit and black visor , blue knight, blue suit and light gray

You need the pound sign if you include the /shop part. But as you say it works
fine leaving off everything after the pound sign, which has the advantage of

After all of these replies you have to start wondering why they call it PERMANENT
marker.

Indeed
Apparently, it mostly means the ink is waterproof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_marker
(there’s also a “Removal” section in the article).
I guess it’s why marketers are paid the big bucks.

I have had success using a dry-erase marker over the permanent marker - test
it out first on a brick or something you don't care about to see if it
works on these small parts. You color over the perm. marker with the dry erase
marker (like a big circle) so all is covered and then wipe with a cleaning wipe
(Clorox or Lysol) or a damp paper towel.

Hairspray works wonders on permanent ink. Try it on a printed part you don't
want first though - just to make sure it doesn't pull off the print or damage
the piece.

All these are heavy and or sizeable, exchange only in U.K. and would have to

So long as one side is a purchase from a store, I think it is allowed. You can

is ok. No minifigs needed! Thanks for looking!

| I believe it has been done before but is this still acceptable if the Lego side
goes through BL ?
I'm talking about a vintage/antique farmhouse table with drawers ( not sure
of age ) and two vintage/antique Lead garden planters ( real Lead not faux ).
All these are heavy and or sizeable, exchange only in U.K. and would have to
be collected.
Effectively the Lego would be sold to me and I pay with these goods rather than
currency.
If it is then anyone interested can contact me and we can try to work something
out, if it isn't then please ignore this message.

| It's been a crazy 12 months for me and the next 12 months look similar.
I've packed all my unlisted Lego as I'm hoping to move in the next few
months.
Just a heads up for anyone thinking of ordering from me in the near future, things
may change quickly.
I'm looking to rent to begin with which may prevent me from reopening until
I find a new home, the store may be closed for a long time.
Thank you to all my customers and thanks for all those that have sold me items
so far, also thanks to all those here on the forum that have kept me informed,
entertained etc, even if we don't always agree.
Here's to a new, even brighter future and if all goes well a bigger more
organised store.

Maybe one of the modulex experts here knows how many colours this brick have?
I have 14 colours and I know that I'm missing at list 4: mx medium blue,

Is there more colours I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance,

There are two different M logo bricks, the old ones and the newer ones.
There are even a few very rare colors found, like dark red and a bluish green.
See picture for the standard colors, row one are the LEGO logo bricks, the middle
are the old M logo bricks etc.
Transparent M logo may not exist, I am still hoping to find one.

I use my tablet to pull orders and its meh, could be better, but I've used
my phone to check prices or sell rates when in a store sometimes and its awful.
I end up just doing "lego" + "set number" + "bricklink" in google to just skip
straight to the entry. It's faster to do it that way then through the BL
site, on my old phone at least.

It depends what you are buying. If just minifigures, then a normal to larger
smart phone screen would be fine if there was a decent interface. Similarly,
if buying from an already set up wants list, a smaller screen is fine.

I understand, grading would be difficult if it was on a mandated scale, but each
store should be able to differentiate between Used (Like New), Used (Fine) and
Used (Poor), etc. Vast majority of stores don't add comments so buyers have
no idea of the quality until it's actually received.

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track
down and list a single piece.
|
If you're parting out a new set, yes; the same doesn't hold true for
adding Pick-A-Brick to a store or other parts bought as new for the purpose of
reselling.
It's extremely obvious that you would have to find individual parts in the
catalog here when adding used parts to a store. It's been that way from
the beginning. I just don't understand why OP was getting upset with that
method. What does he expect—a BL scanner to identify used parts?
David

Adding a part to your BO inventory is a 3-click, same-page process once you've
found the part. I get the feeling that BL has a far more convoluted method, but
I use BrickStock and Bricksync so I wouldn't know.
But I read the OP as meaning that all used bricks are treated the same; there's
no grading built in to the system. Everything is binary, either new or used.

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track
down and list a single piece. Then the next one is the same piece, but you have
to list it differently because you want to note differences in condition and
price them accordingly. The only reason I can figure that people can make any
money at all on Used is they can often get hugely undervalued lots on sites like
Craigslist or by hitting up garage sales. Or, you know, you can price it higher
than New and hope people will buy it without paying attention because "Used is
always less expensive".

I have no idea what you mean by that. The inventories in the catalog are submitted
by users, and they're generally inventoried using new sets, not used.
|
Replace “to inventory” with “to put in your store’s inventory.”
|
That definitely changes the meaning, but it still doesn't make sense. Has
there been some change in the way parts are added to a store when they are used?

I understand a lot of people use BrickStock (or similar) but sellers tools are
scarce on BL.
(And tote that I’m a buyer only )
