I hope this is in the right area. I'm not ready to sell my collection just yet

My collection is over 2000 lbs of Lego, so even at a reasonable price, we're
talking in the five figure range. Is there a place where I could list that in
one lump and not have it be a complete waste of time?

I have a number of friends who would love to take my collection off my hands but
none of them has that kind of money laying around. I also thought about selling
it to someplace like a school or a children's hospital but I've been told that
that is a dead end too.

I guess I could sell it off bit by bit and in lots, but that seems to me like it
would take a lot of time and effort. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I work in an Autism Unit and would like to bulk buy lego for our students -
maybe we could come up with a cleaver plan?

My guide will be a closed edition shortly, because of a future Asian multivolume
book form of my soon to be expanded guide (1949-2017).... which may or may not
get translated to other languages in the future.

There will be over 4000 pages, many of sets that are unknown even to the Billund
Collections and Vault (I can guarantee at least 100 sets they don't have in the
vault will be in my guide)....

Here's where you can still order....
http://legocollectorsguide.weebly.com/

And the guide with free expansion at the end of this year.... will still be only
$29.95... which is approximately 1/6 the price of the multivolume books if they
come out in English.

Thanks for all who have purchased them in the past.

Gary Istok

P.S. Questions?... go to the order webpage and ask there.

This section has not been active for 5+ years, but I think there is a valid need
for something now. There are a number of unresolved bugs at BL. Attempts at
reporting them has met with denial. List the bugs you know about here, but keep
it factual and don't try to take BL down in the process.

thanks, Ray

Just got the nicest complement ever from a European who purchased my Unofficial
LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide computer desktop download.  He also downloaded
it to his SmartPhone....

.....he went to a flea market in a nearby town, and came across 2 of the 310
Esso Service stations... in fact two identical to these (1958-60, 1957-58), both
in used condition like these, but the 2nd (older one) in better condition that
the one shown here....  in an unrelated pair of German Ebay LEGO Auctions that
shows how valuable old (as well as new) LEGO sets have gotten....

In his Email to me.... he said it was a lot like finding a pair of good used
condition boxed 10179 Millennium Falcon's but at only approximately 100 Euros
each... with other people not knowing how much they were worth!!

Some of the older LEGO sets have really gone thru the proverbial roof in
value.... these 310/1310 Esso Service Stations of 1956-65 are running as high as
$3000-$5000 each now....

Dowload it to your PC or MAC... and any other mobile device you might have for
when you go LEGO Treasure Hunting!  ;)

P.S.  Expanded edition with another 900 pages (covering all the years from
1949-2002) due out in a few months... free downloads to current owners!!
