first off, wow wow wow


Yes there is a demand for these. Especially all from one place.


That is beyond cool.

I’m not sure if there is much of a demand, but many MODULEX bricks sell for $1-2
USD each once you are getting larger than a 1x2 brick. For the ones that aren’t
on Bricklink, it is very easy to add an item to the catalog. If someone has not
added it already, I would guess that it is pretty rare. Most importantly, is
Bricklink something that you would want to put time into. When you have that
many parts, it would take a lot of time to sort, list, pack, and ship everything.
My recommendation is to go for it if if you want to sell. You have quite a bit
there, maybe even the most on Bricklink. One seller has nearly 6,000 MODULEX
pieces, while another has nearly 12,000 MODULEX Bricks.

Hi Nicholas
My grandfather's collection includes much much more than 12000 bricks. He
took over the Modulex Switzerland stock when they closed down.

That appears to be a very large amount, so yes, I think it would be worth the
effort.

Depends on what you have and how much time you are willing to invest....

I'm in the same situation as Calle_P and I wonder what you mean Maxx. I have
a couple of thousand pieces of the first Modulex (Lego, pat. pend) and my wife
has sorted them by size, colour, etc. and number of course. I want to sell all
of it to the best price possible. Does it mean that selling them "piece by piece"
will yield the best price?

I think it is pretty high but I am not too familiar with that system. Certainly
from what I have seen in groups suggests there is demand.

Can you not attach the 1x1 M bricks into a clip? They wouldn't be upright
but at least they'd be attached.

They couldn't stand side by side because the clip is going to hold it crooked.

Quite genius, I must say. Though there is always a bit of clash in colors since
Modulex uses a different color sceme (and plastic?)
