Hello all! How much would you pay someone to sort a 12 gallon tub of Lego?
I buy Lego at about $2 - $4 a pound if that helps.

How would you want it sorted by color or category or size?

Categories.

We sort into 19 different categories. The same ones that the Great Brick Lab
(GBL) uses to sort their Lego. I’ll post a link to the sorting sheet later.

I’m not sure. I might have to watch a few of their videos and see if they mention
it.

I printed it out and sort 1 pound of Lego into the category’s and it took around
50 minutes so I’m think maybe $2 a pound. But maybe state that you have to finish
sorting the entire bin to get paid. I would also pull out category #16 just as
a per caution. Also it should not be snowing this time of year

Yes! That usually happens when we get new used bulk in.

When we get new bulk in, we usually do something along the lines of what these
guys do. Some fig parts do slip through.

If by category then maybe $1 per pound but you may want to sift through it quickly
to pull out more valuable pieces before giving it to someone to sort

Too bad you aren't in Arizona, I would offer to do it. I find sorting lego
to be one of the most relaxing activities. What I don't like it counting
and adding to BL inventory. That was tedious.

So in this case you would just have to pay shipping both ways

Anyone who knows about BL will skim off the good pieces and keep them.

I wouldn't. I'd cherry pick the figures, pick any obvious decent / expensive
parts and sell the rest as bulk.
