Gentlemen, a gentle reminder that Mrs Russy also has a nice line in ladies things (no, not the vibrating ones hehe )
On a separate website? Can't see anything on the Jadlam site?

Entirely separate business I believe.

On a previous group buy he offered some cosmetics and chocolates etc for those who might get "feedback" from the other half.

Just finished my Arocs build. Did it over a week or so doing a couple of hours most nights. Added the lights left over from the power kit I bought too with a little imagination..

What is easiest / least hassle way of selling a collection of StarWars and Technic Lego ?
All Brand New In Box.

Dont want to mess around with Ebay, am looking to sell as one job lot. The reason for sale is that my Arthritis is getting worse and worse and I just cant build them any more.

This is what I have,
Star Wars
75052 Mos Eisley Cantina
75055 Imperial Star Destroyer
75054 AT AT Walker

Technic
8110 Unimog
42009 Crane
42030 Volvo
76023 Tumblr
42008 Service Truck

Iam up near Southport and am happy to take to a shop / collector, but want to avoid dealing with Ebay/Gumtree etc, my health pretty bad so I just want a nice simple sale.

Any advice gratefully received

Cheers Andy :-)

PS, Dont worry, I still got tons of other Lego to mess with, but realise I will probably never get to build these Technic ones and seems mad to just leave them on the shelf gathering dust.

Check eBay finished items and get what each are selling for, add it up and knock a bit off for bulk discounts t and offer them on the relevant websites - here, eurobricks, gumtree, eBay (I know you said not but it is the biggest audience!)

Most money will be from splitting - I am interested in the at at!

Thanks for the reply Blakeatron. Will try Eurobricks, might be a collector who wants them. Will try and sell as a load rather than split for now, but if i have no luck and split will give you a shout about the ATAT.

I'm interested in the Unimog if you decide to sell individually.

I've decided i want to release some funds to pay for some upgrades for my real car, so am looking at selling my ROSCOPC Lotus 43.

Goodwood featured some of the MOCs a while ago and i bought all the parts from bricklink.

I have also got the sticker templates i can share to complete it with livery if the buyer wants. Message me if interested.

Very nice, if I had the money, I would get this to take to shows for people to view, probably out of budget though.

You should probably try the non technic thread as well.

Thanks for the messages everyone, PM isnt working it seems as I cant reply to PMs.

Those people interested in particular sets, the problem I have is I am too ill to be dealing with postage etc, if I was to sell it would have to be cash on collection from my house. I live near Ormskirk in Lancashire.

If you still interested, email me direct on AndyLyons @ Gmail.com

Thanks

Andy

Unfortunately I'm in Staffordshire, so a bit too far for me.

Good luck finding a buyer.

Heads up that Rakuten have 15% of all Toys all this week and I happen to have a shop on there full of LEGO. Also for today only (ends monday) you can get 20x Super points on every purchase. So it basically works out that you get 20% of your order value in points which you can spend on anything on their site...

I am in the process of updating the Rakuten site with more LEGO stock as it normally has a limited range. In the next half hour or so things like Dr Who, Big Bang Theory etc should all be on there. (Currently 160 LEGO lines on there, should go to ca. 250 shortly.)

This is a cracking opportunity to get yourself a good deal on an expensive set like the 42030, 42043 (only got a couple left now as they have flown out this week on this deal), 42042 etc. 15% off with another 20% in points you can use whenever....

http://www.rakuten.co.uk/shop/jadlamracingmodels/c...

p.s the discount code is TOYS15 and it expires Sunday night.

How did you get on with the sale Andy?

I am interested in the Unimog, but if there are enough who want the others I'll might be able to arrange to collect them all and then split them up for you. Obviously keeping the unimog.

Hi folks, I'm in a similar position to Arlie above. I have a collection of sets I'm looking to sell (see below) and wondered if it would be better trying to sell as a job lot or individually - what are people's experiences?
