me want to stay either. Personally I find it kind of disorienting.

| Hello lego fans.
New to the forum and would appreciate some advice please.
I have over the years accumulated lots of 12v classic track for a layout I will
soon start building.
Wasn't apparent unit I just cleaned all the track the various degrees of
colour discolouration.
Sleepers are ok, just the rails.
Any recommendations on how I can clean all the track and preserver the original
colour.
Picture of two of the trains and some wagons.
Cheers,
Ed.

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.

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.

I did is start a ziploc bag for most of the identified sets, sort the parts between
them using wanted lists to record how many of each part I have.
Once I was done, I checked how expensive it would be to complete each set, and
I discarded any set that would have been almost as or more expensive to complete
than buy Used. From 20 sets initially, it boiled down to just 8.
I've put the stickered parts of the discarded sets for sale since I knew
I wouldn't complete these sets. I've kept the remaining parts for the
sets I identified in the current bin, where I have had way more luck, with completion
rates around 80% including parts I took from the previous bins I sorted.

A few years ago I bought a box of very old lego and I'm currently trying

the problem is that I'm really struggling to form incomplete sets from the

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
issue and if so do you think it would be better for me to continue trying to
split the box into sets, or should I sell the pieces all together in one big
bundle? Has anyone got tips for sorting used lego into sets?
Any advice is really appreciated, and I can provide photos if anyone is interested?

| Selling sets and selling parts isn't the same job, it doesn't require
the same organization. I currently have several sets for sale each in their own
bag (or on my shelves), but only about a hundreds used part lots, which I keep
in exactly three ziploc bags. If I wanted to start selling more parts, I would
have to come up with a whole different sorting system to separate the parts for
sale and the parts I keep for future builds.

| I had the same issue with the previous LEGO bin I purchased off Craigslist. What
I did is start a ziploc bag for most of the identified sets, sort the parts between
them using wanted lists to record how many of each part I have.
Once I was done, I checked how expensive it would be to complete each set, and
I discarded any set that would have been almost as or more expensive to complete
than buy Used. From 20 sets initially, it boiled down to just 8.
I've put the stickered parts of the discarded sets for sale since I knew

| 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

You are not the only one. I am currently in the process of liquidating my LEGO

sad to see the old LEGO go away. Of course, you could always by more sets and
start the process all over again

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.

For general play use, as above, some rubbing alcohol. For display, buy new parts.

It depends on the scale. The architecture range is a bit mixed when it comes
to scales. What is the footprint of that building in your model?

Yes, this works quite well, be very gentle over printed parts as too much will
begin to take print off.
