Hi everyone, sorry if this doesn't belong here, this is my first time posting.

I have this collection of Lego that has been sitting in my parents house for
years and I'm finally looking to sell it all. I have seen that bulk Lego
is often priced by weight, but unfortunately I don't have a scale. From looking
at this photo I'm hoping someone with experience may be able to give me a
rough value for it all.

I'm not looking to get the absolute most out of it, because I'm hoping
to sell it quickly and all to one person (especially considering the time of
year). I just don't even know where to begin with pricing.

Thanks so much for any help you are able to provide!

Hmmm. It looks like it could maybe be about 100 or so pounds (I say this as
an 80 litre tote is often about 50ish pounds and it looks like it could fill
up about 2 of them (excluding the instruction/book weight)

80 L being about 50 lbs is a good tip, thank you! I can probably figure out a
more precise (while still estimated) weight that way. Say it turns out to be
just around 100 lbs, would you say that 500 Canadian Dollars is a reasonable
starting point to list for sale (on Kijiji or something similar)?

Yes about $5-$10 CAD per pound is average and in general about what I often buy
it for

Definitely a very reasonable price; especially as the figs are separated (easier
to gauge how many there are in the lot) and worth much more $. I haven't
bought bulk lots in a long time (especially locally), but I know in the Ottawa
area if that was listed for $500 with the figs, it would be gone fast - hopefully
it's similar in your area

Awesome. Thanks so much to both of you again for the help!
