Can I get money for my old LEGO®?

From Todd Lehman: !

Yes, absolutely -- anything that says LEGO® on it.

Many people have sold off their LEGO® Space collections so they could focus their building talents in the LEGO® Castle arena, and vice-versa.

Many people have discovered vintage theme sets at obscure toy stores and have been kind enough to buy them and make them available to other people on the net.

Many people have become addicted to bidding in LEGO® auctions and some have even become addicted to holding LEGO® auctions.

There is a huge barely-tapped market for old LEGO® sets. In the small world of news:rec.toys.lego alone, hundreds upon hundreds of dollars of LEGO® sets are auctioned each month.

Sell your old LEGO® and you will be rewarded. But don’t sell it to the first bloke who offers you $10 for it -- seek out the people who seek what you have, and both of you are winners.

From Cary Clark:

Thousands of auctions of Lego are active all of the time on http://www.ebay.com. eBay is also useful to gauge the value of your collection, by searching for similar items among the completed auctions.

Items may be posted for direct sale on the LUGNET newsgroup /market/buy-sell-trade/. Also, http://www.brickbay.com allows you to set up a shop to sell Lego parts and sets.
