| Hello
I'm new to the world of Lego.
I'm a casual picker. I recently saw this lego set at a thrift store and purchased
it.
I posted it to r/lego and told this set is valuable?
Opinions?
I do not have a lot of money to my name a mere 300 dollars in my bank and I could
really use the help with figuring out how to get this to a good home. So I can
also keep surviving.
I was also told to contact lego to ask if they needed this for their vault. I
messaged them but no word back just yet. People were talking about how Lego might
buy it from me or trade me something for it? I could use a job :p
In your opinion what would you buy this for?
I think this is worth at most 300 usd. But it might be worth more to the right
buyer.
This oddly came with blue bricks as well. Maybe this is a packaging mistake?

| I suspect the blue bricks were added to the box by a previous owner.

LEGO sometimes buys items for their own collection. Usually, those would be very
rare items in excellent condition. They do not buy "everything they do not
have".

Not my field of expertise, so I can't advise on value...
The value is in having the box with it, because not many seem to have survived.
The bricks can be found more easily.

You seem to have more bricks than were originally included in the set. I agree
with Stuart, probably parts from another set were stored in the same box.

You also seem to have about double the number of red and white bricks that would
normally be included in this set?
I counted 24 white and 24 red, in addition to 6 blue, but according to
it should have only 12 of each.

I'll need to see what sets came with red, white and blue to see if they're
from another set.

Maybe this one? Seems to have the right number according to its inventory:
However without the box it's only as valuable as its individual parts - which,
don't get me wrong, are valuable.

Most "high value" bricks seem to be mostly either the (much less common)
European version of these bricks skewing the price guide, or one Italian seller.
There certainly is value in this set, but don't look at the highest prices
for individual bricks in the catalog.

Would bricklink be the best market for this items? or should I find a local person?
I'm in Minneapolis.
I'll need to learn how bricklink works I've only used other sites for
a few items in the past.
Some of the bricks are very dirty from age. I assume soap and a toothbrush to
clean them will be ok?
I think I might part the extra bricks out if its possible?

Hiya, I'm also a full time picker when I'm not selling LEGO here. This
is honestly probably an ebay item. Auctions are specifically for items you do
NOT know the value of. A place like Bl is for items you know the value of.
If you list it here, you'll have to start high and slowly move the price
down if you want top dollar. Otherwise you can just guess.
The value here is mainly the box, IMO people will pay ridiculous amounts for
boxes, and I must say, that one looks pretty decent. Most people seem to only
want 1 or 2 of these bricks for display or novelty purposes.
Its a great find. I'm envious.
