Advise vintage lego

Post by alessi » Thu Oct 02, 2014 1:06 pm

Hi there!
My name is Belinda and I'm from the Netherlands. Sorry to bother you, but this seems like the go to place on Lego. Sorting through my deceased grandmothers things, I found an old Lego box in the original package (360).
It was completely sealed, but I nicked the seal making the pictures.

I put it on the Dutch equivalent of Ebay and got a lot of reaction. I'm a 41 year old women and know nothing about Lego. Could you advise me for around how much I should sell it? Thanks for your time and again sorry if this is not the place to ask questions.
Kind regards from the Netherlands,
Belinda

The website bricklink.com is the ebay of Lego only. They only have a few of these listed for sale new, and they are pricing them between $250 and $500 American. Of course, none of them have sold in the last 6 months at those prices, so they may be asking way too much. Used sets (open) have been selling between $50 and $60. You should be able to get at least $100 American for it, if not more. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply hatcher, that really helps! The highest bid right now is 125 Euro, so that sounds good. I will check out bricklink.com, thanks.

I would suggest you to compare this set with the starter lego sets available on ebay and then rate it accordingly. I think you should sell it between the range of 90-100 American dollars.
