I have a very large collection, accumulated over the past 15 years, worth in
excess of $100k. It includes many themes: Bionicle, Ninjago, StarWars, Technic,
Mindstorms, City, Friends, Agents, as well as many spare/new parts (Technic and
else).

Some sets are stored in boxes, ziplock bags, and others are sorted by part type
in many boxes. I can provide sample pictures. Some sets are still in sealed boxes
too (Taj Maha, Technic, ...)

What is the best way to sell all of this, in as few transactions as possible?


I no longer have the time nor the energy and I would like to sell this sooner,
assuming I get a reasonable offer.

Any advice on how I go about this?

I can be there in about 12 hours and you can load it all into my SUV and I'll
take it right off your hands, no questions asked. Lunch is my treat.

Make up a list or post pictures. I'd be interested.

Make a list of sets, with description, MISB, used etc.
Post pictures, that helps, maybe list it in your store as one big lot.
Find a buyer willing to make a good offer.

The $100k you are talking about, is that what you paid?
If so, expect to get a lot less in return, sellers need to make money to.
If that is their current market value, again, expect to get a lot less.

Maybe try other venues like fleebay, but it would be nice if you find a fellow
seller/collector on here.

Good luck,
Maxx

You need to list it in your store.
You can ist it as custom lot.
