My grandfather left a large collection of Modulex Bricks and Tiles. Is there
a demand for Modulex bricks? Is it worth the effort to record the stock and sell
it via Bricklink? Some bricks are not listed on Bricklink and many are still
sealed in their original packaging.

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.

That is beyond cool.

I keep finding more and more great pieces from my grandfather's collection.
I still have problems understanding the colour generations of Modulex bricks.
As far as I know, there were colour changes in 1963, 1983 and 1997. Does anyone
know which colours were introduced in 1963?
