Selling & Trading Policy

💬 How It Works

We evaluate each collection based on market value, condition, and the effort required to process it — including sorting, cleaning, and shipping. While we aim to offer fair prices, values are not guaranteed and depend on what you send.

✉️ Requesting a Quote

Want to know what your collection is worth before sending it in?
Send us a few photos and a short description through our Selling & Trading Form.

⚠️ Important ⚠️

  • If the items we receive differ from your description, the final offer may change.
  • Items sent without a quote will be evaluated upon arrival, and offers are final.
  • We are unable to return submissions.

💵 Cash vs. 💳 Store Credit

We’ll always offer more in store credit than cash.
If you're looking to build your collection, store credit is your best value.

Note: You must be 18 or older to sell or trade LEGO®. If under 18, a parent or guardian must complete the transaction.

🧩 What Affects Value

  • Completeness: Missing pieces, manuals, or minifigures reduce value—especially minifigures, which often make up a significant portion of a set’s worth.
  • Condition: Cracked parts, discoloration, scratches, or poorly applied stickers all lower the appeal and resale value.
  • Opened Sets: Once a set has been opened, it’s no longer considered new, which results in an immediate drop in value—even if all parts are present.
  • Current Stock: Our offers may vary depending on how much similar inventory we already have—limited stock can lead to stronger offers, while oversupply may reduce them.

📊 Estimate Value Ranges

 $0.75–$2 per pound — based on part mix, condition, and cleanliness.

✅ Used Sets (100% Complete)

📦 New Sealed Sets
40%–50% of market value — must be factory-sealed.
