Go Bears!!

I had one when i was young! Thank you for the video 👍

Go Blue!!

Just built it today. It's amazing.

When I'm looking for legos online I often shop on ebay cause alot of peopl sell sets at discount if they remove figures and uthers cell brick and figure grab bags lots with random figs and pieces. This works great for me cause everything I build is modified in some wzy. I mis figures for my oene idias and modify sets to my likeing.

If you say America's inflation, then you haven't seen Iran's inflation yet, brother, tourism in Iran is over forty-five percent

Click bait video. Dumbass question while having all those sets stacked behind you. I bet your one of the ones bought up all the Rex Microfighter on Amazon and relisting it for three times retail on Amazon.

So much copium here lol if you buy in bulk in hopes of selling, you are a scalper no matter what you want to call yourself lol if “resellers” or “investors” keep buying all the sets on the shelf as soon as they restock, then how is there plenty of sets for everyone else to buy?

So many Lego scalpers trying to tell themselves they’re just collectors/investors to cope. If you buy multiple sets in order to sell for more money, it’s scalping. Just because you waited some time before buying or selling doesn’t make you an investor/reseller, you are still scum clearing the shelves in bulk and leaving none for the kids. Every “investor” that makes a video like this says they have scalped while doing it, so there is very little difference. Stores just need to start making purchase limits like they did for the pokemon card scalpers.

Your take on the dark trooper did not age well lol. It'll hit 90 by mid 2025 easily

I love videos like this. The other youtubers I listen to focus a lot on the buying part, so its amazing to see updated videos on selling.

Hey Jake this an old video. Maybe you will still see this comment still. 3 years later it’s gonna retire. I agree. I also think they will make more systems. What do you think on investment on this one? I think it will do well. Can get to that 350+. What you think? Thanks.

Unfortunately Ebay is still the best method option with the fees. Someone needs to create a new Ebay with 8-10% fees

never take financial advice from someone who wears boots in their home.

Please make review on the “boring” type of lego such as World Map… should i sell or hold?

Hi, can you do a review on the World Map lego. Is this set a good investment?

Lego investing is cringe and is currently ruining the community for the intended audience (kids who deserve the get the sets first) and actual enjoyers of the hobby.

With eBay, the fees are even worse now that USPS has gotten rid of certain cheap shipping options. Between a totally glutted reseller market and problems like these, making real money on eBay reselling sealed retired Lego is very difficult. And while you can resell certainly highly desirable used sets easily there, obviously the more a set sells for, the more Ebay is going to take from the sale.

You supose that the economy will get better, but nothing points that out

Great video 👍 I signed up for district. I have a 10x10 storage unit of sets going back to 2014. Any advice on using your platform??

which options on Europe? Ebay doesnt work properly in europe...

Dude thank you! This was ridiculously helpful

I really appreciate the effort in the professional do you put into your videos.. you really helped me a ton kickstart my Lego investing hobby.

Hey man, I now only sell on StockX because EU. Would love to try out District once in EU.

Hey Jake, this is great! Can you now do one on packaging/boxing and shipping etc? 📦 🙏

Would you ever do a video on the topic of the “BrickLink Designer Program”? Such as which ones have sold the most, when is the right time to sell, buy to sell, ect? Love the content! Keep it up!

Dude, you’re starting to sound like one of those late night infomercials!!! 😁. Love the content.

Thank you for this video. This is my first year investing in Lego. So still trying to figure out the best avenues to sell new Lego sets. Your video really gave me some great options to explore, especially District.

Thanks for the information. I sell on Facebook Marketplace and have done well locally. I use an average of brinklink, brickset and brickeconomy to set prices. No fees and buyers can see/inspect what they’re buying. I meet at a local Swap Spot in the parking lot of the Police Station. I think it’s easier buying large number of parts from LEGO instead of brinklink. Most brinklink sellers do not have a large number of a particular part. If you want a lot of one part you have to order from multiple sellers. Thanks

I just buy cheap sets from Offerup. It's like a digital garage sale for some sets that are NSIB

Partner, 'The District' is a PONZI scheme. Pyramid scheme specifically, You get a piece of each sale, well, someone above you also get a percentage of each sale and so on. Be careful!

Mercari has steep fees for buyers. There are at least 2 or 3 different fees (besides tax and shipping) to pay when you're checking out. It is ridiculous. I feel like Whatnot is doing okay because they are offering $15 coupons for new buyers, and if you watch the auctions you will notice that MOST of the bids come from new buyers using their coupons. I'm afraid that once they quit offering those, the platform will slowly cool down. I know you are trying to advocate for District, but the fact that almost nobody knows about this platform is just backbreaking. I've been buying and selling Lego for a couple of years now, and this was the first time I heard about it. StockEx is a joke. The prices seem very low, but once they apply all of their fees, you end up saving $15 in a $500 set. It is straight-up better to buy at the official Lego website and get your insider points.

Walmart great for Lego

Amazon recently removed the seasonal Xmas Tree and Sleigh because they are "discontinued". Do you think this is a problem going forward?

I sell on ebay and the fees are crazy. I am trying to sell some on facebook.

'Only does this as a small time gig' while sitting in a rooms with a least a few hundred boxes on warehouse shelves XD

I sell lego in Walmart Marketplace also.

Beicklink is a mess and you would think when Lego purchased them they would make it easier and become more technologically advanced

As a side gig eBay is the most realistic and easiest way to sell.

Bricklink FTW!

I went on district but they said they wouldn’t ship to Australia

Sellers misusing the shipping cost (i.e. pricing product for 0.99 and grossly increasing shipping cost) on eBay was the probable cause for them adding fees for shipping. The shipping label bulk discount on ebay kind of helps with that. However, charging fees on tax is ridiculous and the high fees on eBay overall hurt.

District sounds just like whatnot absolutely identical, if ur on whatnot your building a community or district and people come to your shows because they know you. U also sell stuff in the BIN just like district the big difference is the shear amount of people on whatnot compared to district, honestly don’t see district making it long. Even Duck bricks sells More on whatnot and M&R is on whatnot as well as a ton of other huge CZcams Lego channels

The pricing on your district page is wild, even for currently available sets. Why would anyone overpay on that platform when they can get the set for MSRP or even 20% off in most cases. The executor (75356) is currently available for $70 from Walmart and Lego with free shipping, you’ve priced it at $100 plus shipping.

Great vid Jake! Amazon and their customers are the worst to deal with BUT they definitely move the most volume so a Bezos-Bozo I remain.

The District is great, i look forward to selling on there Jake, once it comes to my neck of the woods the UK.

Thank you, I never fully understood all of the differences that make platforms so different to sell on

“4 Private Drive” someone is not a potterhead 😂

Great video Jake. Can I ask where you purchased those lovely display cabinets behind you? I'm guessing IKEA, what is their name please?

Yes, because your youtube business is based on it so you will lie into our faces until the last minute before you give up.
