Frequently asked questions
Is used LEGO worth anything?
Often a great deal. Retired sets appreciate, and even loose bricks sell by weight. Complete sets with minifigures do best.
Do I need the box and instructions?
They raise the price meaningfully, but complete sets sell well without them. Instructions can be downloaded, so missing pieces matter more.
Are minifigures worth selling separately?
Rare ones often are. Check individual values before breaking up a set, though complete sets usually sell more easily.
