| Hi all, I recently discovered a vintage Lego 1589 set in my loft. It seems to
be brand new but the box has been opened. The contents is pristine and includes
all the appropriate pieces and stickers. It was also packaged with the original
box it came in from Lego. I’m not sure how to price this item as I can’t seem
to find one in this kind of condition online. I live in the UK. Would be really
great full of some expert help with this one please.
Many thanks
J

I think you'd have to sell it as used, as there is not really proof that
it is new if it has been opened, even though the stickers have not been applied.
There is another one in the UK for sale here at £270 with stickers applied. I
reckon you could stick it on ebay as an auction starting at probably £350 and
see where it goes from there, mentioning it is opened but parts look immaculate
and the sticker sheet is unused. I'd list it as used but say it looks like
new in the description. You'll have an issue that if you list as new as the
condition and someone gets it and complains that it has been opened. You might
get away with starting at £500 but a lower start price is likely to get people
interested.
Alternatively you could put a higher price as a buy it now and allow offers and
see if you get any.
But demand might not be there at a high price, given the part out value is quite
low (someone wanting the parts (without stickers) to build the set could buy
them for about £50). The only one that has sold here in six months was (likely)
from a Hungarian seller. You need to find a collector that will appreciate and
more importantly pay for the unused sticker sheet, box and instructions. There
are people that will, if you can find them!

| Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea where would be a good place to try
and sell it? I’m not in a massive rush so happy to wait for the right buyer to
come along.
