In this video I walk you through my top tips and considerations when evaluating a set to buy for part out on Bricklink or Brickowl.
It's very easy to just see a discounted Lego set and think that that must be a good deal for parting out. However not all Lego sets will bring you a good return for your money. So it's important to consider what makes a Lego a good set for parting out.
In this video, I'll outline my four key considerations when buying Lego sets. Essentially I break this down into:
1. What is the part out value of the set? - You should be aiming for a part out value of at least 2.5 times your purchase price.
2. Minifigure selection - Minifigure often makes up the highest portion of the value of the set. Check whether the selection are good saleable Minifigures
3. What New parts are contained in the set - New parts will usually be in good demand and will usually start at a high price which will fall over the first months its available.
4. What parts do you already have in inventory - You may not want "more" of the same parts. Consider if these parts sold well for you etc.

You can actually check the part out value even if you are not logged in! Go to market -> price guide and you get to the same page!

[@BrickArena]

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm almost always logged in. I have a different way to get there which I'll show in the next video.

[@deckerbentlee1257]

not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days =)

[@emmittkyrie2965]

@Decker Bentlee definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)

This is very good information! The hint on looking for a partout value at 2.5 or above is invaluable! And, the e-bay vs bricklink is just crazy for minifigs! I like how much emphasis you put on the analysis part of selling bricks. Great video, great advice - thanks a lot! :-)

[@BrickArena]

Thanks Dustin 👍🏻

[@BrickClicker]

This was a great insight. In the recent great clearance sales I picked up quite a few sets to part out and sell. This video really helped me on how to get started

[@BrickArena]

Thanks buddy, glad you find these tips useful and are making good use of them :0

[@BrickClicker]

@@BrickArena yeah. I'm building up a collection of sets and hope to launch my store in summer time when I finish secondary school

[@BrickArena]

Well good luck with it when the time comes.

[@Carl-G]

Excellent Tips ;) There are loads of features on BrickLink that I haven't even touched still. I always think I will press on something and mess everything up :D That is why I just stick to the basics I have learnt. I should really look into it a bit more. Looking forward to more videos like this tho ;)

[@BrickArena]

Thanks Carl! Glad you found them useful. Will try and keep these coming.

[@Nitrotix1]

Thanks! 👍

When I'm out in the shops,I go to market then price and go from there.

[@hytalereviews1145]

Hello. just wondering how you get the average 6 month sales to show as 3 decimal places rather than 2?

[@BrickArena]

It’s in the settings under price guide settings

[@JelmerAchterkamp]

So in this case, do you buy the Friends set number 21319 for the normal price? (To part out)

[@BrickArena]

Its all about timing. UIf you get in early enough whereby the minfigs are still scarce and so are the "new" parts then yes. But if you miss the boat so to speak you'll likely want to wait for a discount.

[@lennylockup989]

Hi iam in the UK but when i try to find out price of parting out sets it shows in dollars is there a way to change it to pounds any help would be appreciated

[@BrickArena]

How are you accessing the part out value? IF your signed in a s a seller you should be getting the partout in your local currency. At least I am getting it in GBP.

[@lennylockup989]

@@BrickArena Thanks for getting back to me i am only a buyer at the min and it shows in pounds when i buy but when i try to find out part out price it is in dollars do you think this is because iam not a seller?

[@BrickArena]

You nee to be logged in and in your settings set the viewing currency.
