Non Technic LEGO
Discussion
So I'm slightly out of love with Lego, and planning a downsize (keeping only a few I really like and two my daughter wants).
Shuttle, F40, 911, Delorean, Se7en, Wall-e, Mustang, DB5 all to go. Everything between sealed boxes and years on display with flattened boxes.
They were to go on wife's vinted, but she's dreading packing all the large-ish boxes and double counting a million pieces. Speed Champions sold this way but they're fairly small.
Looked at ebay, but I'll pay a fortune in fees (and as above).
Spoke to a used lego shop; they were talking a pittance and even "buying" some by weight. And they'll only take it as store credit.
Lego sales groups on Facebook. Skimming through other sales there seems to be a little bit of nerdiness about rebagging correctly in the original, numbered packets, marks on outer boxes etc.
Should I have a Lego bonfire or must I suck it up and dust/dissasemble/bag and take a million photos? I sell stuff for a living but hate selling my own things

Just to say whenever I've sold any lego (on ebay not vinted) I've included a statement that says something along the lines of "complete when built but given the size and number of pieces for the purposes of Ebay's buyer protection I wont guarantee that each and every piece is present"Dr G said:

Let me know what you want for Wall-e please - I won't insist you re-bag with numbered packets... Shuttle, F40, 911, Delorean, Se7en, Wall-e, Mustang, DB5 all to go. Everything between sealed boxes and years on display with flattened boxes.

Interested in the Space Shuttle & the F40.
Picked these two up this afternoon.
Will need the Marlboro decals & wider tyres for the Senna McLaren.
I will have a spare set of decals for the McLaren if you're interested. I forgot I'd ordered some way back from here (they arrived the other day): https://www.mattsbrickmocs.com/product-page/lego-s...Picked these two up this afternoon.

I would like to compare with the sticker set that's coming with the wheels first (I suspect they'll be very similar or identical) but if you're interested let me know.

Ebay seller doing the wheels here for £30: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386926104272?_trkparms=...
Arrived today and don’t feel they look that great with the raised letters?
Has been an expensive morning thanks to early access to Star Wars Day on Lego.com!
Somehow ended up with a UCS AT-AT (£145 discount, had a further £50 in points), UCS Tie Fighter (though sure i have one of these already!), Mos Eisley Cantina which I've been putting off buying for ages due to price, but with discounts it wasn't bad at £254 (£70 off plus a further £20 points)... oh, then spotted the Venator Class ship at Argos at 20% off (£448).
All far to large to hide from the wife, so I expect grief in coming days when they start to arrive (though AT-AT is backorder already).
Have to online queue to get on Lego website too, made more painful as it decided to re-queue me half way through the checkout process!!!

Coul dbe very interested in the F40
I took it apart last night. Need to find the box and instructions; I do have them, but they were put in "deep storage" and have subsequently been buried by all the other detritus in the loft.Used ones seem to do +/-100 on ebay, so 80 quid. I'm in South Bucks, if you're not I reckon a tenner will cover postage.

120, will break it down tonight and confirm box/instructions. Again, 99% sure I have them.generationx said:
Thank you; will add on there. PHers are in my experience somewhat more human than users of Marketplace!brums evil twin said:

Shuttle is the older one, 10231. It was on display on top of a cabinet for a long time but got knocked down a couple of weeks ago. It does have slight yellowing. Will get to splitting it down next few days. Should have box and instructions. Every day a journey said:
I'll be up for that. Happy with that postage too
No rush, as and when you find the box and instructions

Box was flattended for a house move but pops back fairly well.
Do you want to send me a message and I'll start digging out some packing material?
