    Locker Nuts episode 679
    I'm trying my hand at profiling this locker, and it's checking all the buttons. High income zip code in Silicon Valley... check. Lots of collectables inside like Lego and Star Wars... check. I spend a lot of money on this one, so let's see if my read is correct. Hopes of turning a profit start to fade until I open a trunk which holds a time capsule of all sorts of treasures.
    We'll be selling the best items from our purchases on Whatnot. The links are above to sign up and get a free $15 credit to spend, and here is the link directly to our next show. Join us for some live auction fun!

    As others have mentioned, I would try and sell all of the Legos as one large lot rather than splitting it up. The right collector will pay good money for it all.

    Don't let the lego go for peanuts at the flea market. Lots of other options before you end up giving away a fortune. You have thousands of $$ worth in that locker. The Lego Beetle 10187, if complete with sealed bags, is over $500. The TIE Fighter, especially if you find the manual, is about $50. The Lego Jabba, on it's own, is $30-$40.

    That collection of Lego is amazing. Not only are there a lot of pieces, but I could see from the video that there are a bunch of individual items that could bring a significant return. I saw many old raised baseplates. Ebay has these listed for 10-20 dollars. The Jawa Sandcrawler that looked to be mostly built and can easily bring more than $100 if you can find the instructions and verify the parts. The VW Beetle should have 19 or 20 bags. If you have all of them and the two instruction books, you are sitting on a couple of hundred dollars. Also, there has been a lot of sorting already. That is added value. I understand that you are busy and that getting the maximum profit from this Lego haul would take time, but at least invest a little time to research ways to sell this over and above bulking it all up in 5-pound bags.

  • @essbing

    If you look at manual 1/2 of the VW beetle it should tell you how many bags of bricks should be in the box. Then you will know it’s complete. Sell all the Lego figures separate. You can get a lot of money for them. Even for some of the single pieces. It just depends how much time you want to put into it.

    Some of the Lego, in the video around where you found the astronauts, looks like 1980s Lego. Lego went through a rough patch in the 80s, so they were not made in huge numbers. That space Lego might be more valuable than you think, even when they are not in mint boxes. Esp the space and knight series of the 80s are sought after. I sold a mini box of the knight series, in a beaten up box, one figurine, for over $200 about 3 years ago. Also the manuals from that era are collectibles.

    The little pink rubbery dudes are called MUSCLE. There was a whole bunch of different ones, most are not very valuable. The diecast cars are near $100 for the lot on a good day. That metal transformer could be a bit of money since it has accessories & looks really clean. My advice with the legos is to do a gigantic bundle of all of them and advertise them locally. Since you & your fam aren't experts it would take so many hours to separate, list, & sell that stuff you would be going further in the hole by doing so. If it doesn't work out there's always whatnot, or whatever. There's at least a megabuck there from what I saw, maybe more, so you can get a big chunk of your outlay back pretty quickly with them.

    That Lego collection looks a lot like my own! I have some from when I was a kid, one castle set is still intact and boxed up. I never grew out of loving them so I’ve been buying sets here and there for years and then when I had kids, I bought sets for them. And then picked up random boxes, bags, sets, etc. at thrift stores, garage sales, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, wherever. They loved building their own creations so I used plastic bins and bags to sort the pieces so they could find them more easily. I was excited to see the garage/hardware drawers being used here - I have some too! But I’ve never seen anyone else using them for Lego! Now that my boys are older, they aren’t as interested but I still love them so I haven’t slowed down buying them. It’s a fun hobby. If those boxes of Lego had been visible at the front of that locker - I would love to know how different the bids would have been.

    I was hoping you'd find something awesome in that locker, but boxes of Legos......meh!!!!
    That trunk had some interesting things in it. This reminds me of my cedar chest that has stuff from the 60's & 70's in it, which also makes me feel old. 🤪

    Just read about a service called Lego Replay - they will take all unsold legos and clean and sort them and give them to kids!!

    Update us on this Lego locker on how much you end up making on it. I know sometimes it takes awhile to figure out if you made a profit or not. But I think you might be surprised and you do make a profit on it.

    That big storage rack tip the leggo bits into a box to sell and sell the unit at the better flea market. You could remove all the unopened bag ones to sell at auction and take the rest in the boxes to a 2nd hand toy shop.

    The large black plastic tray is an Ikea boot tray for muddy boots by the door.

    You defo need to read the comments.. the Lego must be a Lego builder. The good ones know all the pieces. And can put together toys no problem at all. You have got good money.

    Jack you hit a Lego goldmine and couldn’t be any less excited about it. Hopefully you haven’t off loaded them for pennies. Put in the time and research what you have.
