    Literally sell it because Lego appreciates faster than gold. I bought a huge tub of Lego for $150 CAD and if I was to buy each set contained off of Rebrickable, I’d be spending thousands of dollars.

        Sell them to the collector and buy the kid cheap knockoff Legos from China.

        While you are at it, buy the parents a cheap bottle of wine and a “condolences for your loss” in case the ‘edible’ paint they used on the Legos turned out to be not that edible after all.

          Cheap Legos are horrible. Nothing sticks properly so building something is futile.

            Fair point, he should also throw in a bottle of glue just to make sure that the wine and the card aren’t going to waste.

              I still have a bunch of the instructions, could to through and make the sets and sell those while the misc pieces get donated to like, Savers or something

      Personally, if I had them and wanted to get rid of them, I’d rather give them to a kid who can’t afford them than make a profit. Seeing a poor kid’s face light up when you gave them a box of legos would be worth a lot more than $150 to me. (Unless I was desperate for the money, obviously.)
