| I have a question for everyone out there.
Back in 2004 I started collecting all the pieces for the Star Destroyer and along
with my collection I was able to complete it sometime in 2014.
It is based on the original instructions but I have improvised in some places.
For example the interior technic beams are black and not grey, the repetitive
greebling between the two halves uses different elements and I am missing the
2 grey domes at the top. There are a couple (maybe 4 or 5) missing light grey
plates.
I would think that you would have to be a true Lego Star Wars collector to know
that this is not the original set.
But this is 100% Lego - no compatible pieces.
I am thinking of selling it but I know no idea what it might be worth or if there
would even be a market for such a collection of pieces.
Please give me your thoughts.
Thanks

1. You need a store to sell here.
2. Be honest! Make sure the buyer knows it is not the exact set and that parts
are missing and exchanged for more easily available parts.

I've already parted out several, have a few more to go if you're looking
to finish it out with correct parts and sell it complete.

Take photos of the modifications. Disassemble the set and check inventory, ensuring
you have 100% of the parts to build it the LEGO way, plus any extras from your
addition. List it here in your new store with details on both ways to build
it.if the variations are great you can likely get a few extra yen for it.

| Unless you have a lot of other stuff that you're looking to sell, this is
the type of thing that would be easier to move on a local marketplace. As others
said, be honest and accurate in your description, and realize that you'll
probably only get about 1/2 of what it sells for on Bricklink (maybe $250-$300).
