That lady that sold you those legos is a sweetheart. She was just trying to get rid of them and didn’t want to hurt your pocket. More people like that would be highly appreciated

[@joshuahoops9430]

Wow I was expecting her to say like $100 for all the legos which probably still would have been a good deal honestly

[@lindseyandsons4059]

I was thinking the same thing. Such an amazing deal for all of that. It would have went for hundreds here in Canada

[@PaladinHeart]

When you're selling stuff and get anxious sometimes your mind can get a little confused and you end up taking much less than what you should. It's usually best to let the buyer offer first. She was probably kicking herself later. Sad. I think it has something to do with your mind artificially halving numbers when it's not necessary. Like say you have $10 on two figures, and someone asks what you'd take for both of them. Instead of saying $15, your mind thinks of what would be a good deal on just one, so you say $8. Ouch! Yes I've done this! It can also go the other way. Like say you're selling comic books for 25 cents each, and someone offers you $10 for the whole box and you say no. Later, you check and you've only got $6 worth of comics in the whole box xD (this actually happened).

[@OncleJer]

@@PaladinHeart That's why has a seller you should be doing your homework, if you don't know the prices, take the time you need and don't just throw numbers out, it's the norm for sellers to state their price.

[@arghjayem]

You have gotten a great deal with the Lego. No boxes which isn’t great and no doubt a lot of parts will be missing- but even if you only have a couple of complete sets, like the Sopwith camel or the space shuttle, that’ll more than cover what you paid. And if you can source missing parts from somewhere like bricklink so you end up with more complete sets you’ll get even more back!

[@jintube8520]

I was like amazed by his attitude and tone of his voice "30 bucks? Okay let's go for it." That was smooth as hell.

[@marybethg5505]

sometimes the pre built leggos will have extra things with them as the set, I would look at the manuals an see if they have any extras that you can eyeball quickly and put with the pre-built item (and the mini figure that goes with it) I think I have more fun putting the leggos together than my 6 year old boys lol love it!!!! have fun maybe the kids could help sort them....

[@TK-431]

I bought a similar deal of legos some months back. I sold the manuals by themselves (by far the easiest of the entire job), and the mini-figs. I sold the "semi-built" toys as-is with missing pieces, (because I'm a reseller, not a Lego builder). I ran those on auctions. The rest I sorted by pulling "rare" pieces and lotting them together on auctions. There are two schools of thought as to the best way to sell bulk Legos- either by color/ style brick: or by the pound. I am currently selling them by the pound, I've sorted them all I care to, so I had no interest in putting like pieces together.

[@catherinec2180]

That was awesome! I used to buy those candy cigarettes as a kid. There were bubble gum ones too. Don't think they sell them anymore. Very nice of you to pay the woman $25 for those dvds

You are so lucky. I am a lego collector I know a lot about this stuff I would recommend you to use bricklink its a site where you can sell or buy legos and learn about lego sets pieces prices and all those stuff. If you have the time I would recommend you put the sets together 1 by 1 and sell it ass complete or missing pieces. If you don't have the time you can sell it as bulk lego which you can make money off of it but not as much as if sold separately.

[@baitorbebaited]

In my opinion, sorting the LEGOS by COLOR is the best way to do it. Gives people the option to have multiple sizes and be the same color, instead of a mixed assortment.

[@RamoArt]

You're so kind to all these people

[@Bianca20-20]

Wow very cool John. That was a killer deal on the Legos. It would be interesting to see what you get out of it in the end. Thanks for sharing :)

[@mynuttybirds]

I can't get over how cheap that Lego was! Here in Australia, it seems 99/100 people know how much Lego resells for and they ask top dollar. Just that green tub would be about $200 at a market or garage sale.

Great garage sale weekend. The Legos were insane.

[@mamiewallace9437]

9:24 twenty years ago when I was a new nurse. We used that tipe of heat lamp to heal / dry out wounds . We placed it a respectable distance from the patient so as no to burn them and promote healing. No 20 some years later, I never thought I would see one again.

Things you have seen that make a yard sale good and attractive. Do we price things individual ly, by groups or not at all? Layout, good stuff up front or spread out? What ever tips you got. Whatever leaves the house isn't coming back in.

For the LEGO I would suggest checking Bricklink online for resale value of the sets you have. From what I could see there are a few set worth selling completed with mini figures and instructions.

[@dwarfield715]

sell the miniatures over $8 on their own, Sell everything else as bulk, on Facebook marketplace say 100lbs for $3.50/lb and someone will offer $300 for everything. I sell all the Legos i get to the same woman from Dayton and she pays $4/lb unsorted.

[@thepicker9079]

Great video and some amazing scores. You go after a lot of different items like myself. The Lego lot you scored for $30 was a hell of a deal. I find lego often but I have noticed people are charging more and more for them each and every time I go out sourcing. I guess people are starting to realize the value of LEGO. I scored a huge lot awhile back and they sold really fast, sorted them and sold them in lots of 5lbs, 10lbs, and then sold all the figs separately. Great stuff, thanks for sharing

[@wheeliestoys580]

Sweet haul on the Legos. I used to sell 1000 pieces for 30.00 then the market crashed on them on Ebay. However, sets will get you good money. It just takes time to put them together. Good thing is that you got books.

I remember the candy cigs as a kid. They had the white powder on them that you blew to look like smoke. Then as you ripped the paper off there was more powder. When all done ripping off paper you stuck the whole cig in your mouth because it was gum. They sold everything back in the day.

[@ZacharyC]

That is a killer deal. I went to an auction house because they were apparently selling Legos and they probably would've sold that much Lego for close to 1500+

A friend of mine does really with Legos by selling them in lots of the same piece - for example: (25) 2x6 black bricks

[@BKVendingFlipping]

I bought a big lot of legos a while ago and I didn't know it at the time but they glued a bunch of them together. I haven't touched them to try and figure it out yet because I know it will take forever. I need to just bite the bullet and get it done. thanks for sharing John.

amen for the street fighter II crazy thats deff worth a bit mabye more then 30-40 bucks

[@superpeanut5894]

Wow the walker in the top left box alone is worth more then 100 if all the figs are included, btw if you didn't know yet you could use bricklink as well to look at going prices / to buy missing pieces. The slave is also worth way more then 50. If the instructions are missing they are easy to find through lego their website or through bricklink to find the complete part list. Also make sure to try to find the correct figs with the sets so you won't be stuck with the set ( star wars minifigs will sell fast / good often)

That cigarette pack is a gag pack. You fold the spring back and when a person reaches for a cigarette, you let the spring go and it snaps forward and smacks the person's finger. That gag was there when I was a kid (about 35-40 years ago). I haven't seen one since. It might actually be worth something.

[@DArchAngel28]

I know it's alot more work and probably doesn't makes sense to people but when I buy legos I try to build the sets that are in it and sell them when they're complete. I hold onto any other pieces in the lots and use them to help complete other sets down the road. Alot of work but I love legos and I enjoy piecing them together.
