How to Maximise your Loft space for

In this video, I’m taking you up to my loft to show you how a ‘DIY phobic’ like myself was able to maximise the space I have for LEGO investing without having to pay for a tradie. I’ll also show you a lot of the Lego sets I’ve picked up and take you through how I’m storing them.

Excellent and very different video. Would love to hear more about your thoughts of FB market place, Ebay and especially how and why you plan to shift from the before mentioned platforms to Amazon.

Many thanks to you. I’ve often watched Lego investing videos and thought, “where’s that presenter storing all this” so I thought I’d share where and how I store the bulk of mine. A few cupboards are also pretty full of Lego 😂 I’ve sold on eBay for years and pride myself on 100% positive feedback. I’ve pondered doing this full time one day which lead me to Amazon where it’s easier to sell multiple copies of the same set. Again there’s a lot to weight up here. To start I’ll need a computer and a printer where I’ve got away without so far with just a phone+ iPad, then there’s the inflated prices that are achievable with high costs against lower eBay fees but lower sales prices. A lot for me to consider and weigh up. I think regardless I’ll still sell larger sets on eBay where I’d pay a lot to have them shipped to Amazon as single items where postage is spread when you’re sending lots of smaller sets altogether. There’s a lot to say about selling on FB Marketplace so I’ll probably make a video about it in its own.

Would you know if there a weight limit for storage in a loft? Great video by the way. Thank you

[@The_Brick_Side]

@@qualitytickets3889 This is a really valid question. If there is an answer, it’s not something I actually researched. Luckily Lego isn’t all that heavy so I’m not overly concerned. With the weight I have here, I’m essentially strengthening the roof and keeping it down. I wouldn’t recommend storing anything too heavy on these shelves though.

Great video buddy . Thank you for sharing your investment. Good stuff. We are currently moving to a bigger house just for more storage 🙈🙈🙈 Keep the videos coming please. What part of the country are you from? Matt from Dorset

Many thanks for tuning in again Matt. I’m from Gloucestershire, a bit further up north from you. You can never get enough storage right. I hope you’ll be filling all those extra spaces with great Lego sets 😁 we moved back in 2021 so we had more space for our growing family, back then I had no idea I’d be doing this!

Does your loft not feel damp in the middle of winter whens its freezing? I have noticed it with cardboard boxes in my loft. Maybe something to watch out for? Also my loft gets over 40c in the summer so have to move my Lego out in June,July & August.

Another really valid point here. Time has been the best test for me here. I’ve stored some Lego sets in our loft and our previous loft for years. I sold a number of used sets last May and I’m happy to report all boxes and sets were unaffected by extreme heat or cold conditions. I guess everybody’s lofts will be different. If you have moisture leaking in, the loft may not be an option for you.
