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.

@kennethboston8301 10 ай бұрын

Dude, you have thousands of dollars in Legos. The collector set's alone, can be worth from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars each.

With all those legos and books. Hold onto them. There are Lego fanatics that would pay a pretty penny to put those together. They are smarter than the average bear. Lol. They are worth money. Color coded even better. Don’t sell yourself short. Legos aren’t cheap.

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.

@kathyrussell9610 10 ай бұрын

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.

@mariamarlow7834 10 ай бұрын

The figures sell for a lot of money depending on how old they are. Find someone to look at it before you part it out. For the right Lego, hold mind. Mx adding, figures sell from 15-20 each! Look them up, as they look like his dads stuff!

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.

Ps there is an app for identifying every Lego piece ever made and giving its market value. It’s not just branding, Disney for example, that adds value, some bricks/parts were only available in certain sets so that makes the valuable too.

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.
