It's not Lego, but it'll still go for about 25c in the general market.

It’s worth above 24c for sure. Some of those pesky resellers are asking over
25c for some also!

The magic with those is that if you've a big inventory - like a million one
- then it'll (almost) automatically grow!

Instead, I've invested in:
 
Part No: 2780 Name: Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
* 		2780 Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Black}
...

I've a lot of them - I watch them every day but can't see their number
increasing

Sucker me

With the rampant inflation in the USA for the last couple of years, it is now
worth 17 cent. When I was young it was worth a gallon of gas, two cups of coffee,
five candy bars, and two comics (I collected Marvel comics and had all of them
comlete and just found out the first Spiderman in Fantastic Stories or some
early comic like just sold for $1.1 million. I sold the entire collection for
$150 to pay for an upcoming date.)

yah inflation is crazy. I still remember when i was a kid I would see those small
blaster boxes of sports cards on shelves for like $20 or so but now as an adult,
even the lowest-end products are $40 plus for 3x worse quality product. at least
I'm glad i didn't leave any money i made as a kid in the bank! either
went to chocolate bars (at 33 cents Canadian a piece you cant for wrong or for
the slightly lower quality ones .25 CAD each) or to starting some new job or
another!

  (I collected Marvel comics and had all of them
comlete and just found out the first Spiderman in Fantastic Stories or some
early comic like just sold for $1.1 million. I sold the entire collection for
$150 to pay for an upcoming date.)

Be sure to mention in your listing if you don't distinguish between the scores
