selling bags of the promotional Lego

JWIOW

I have acquired roughly 320 poly bags of the promotional Lego which came free in the paper, any suggestions as to the best way of selling this?
I've seen on eBay certain ones are selling for £4-6, but don't really want the hassle of creating lots of eBay listings!

You could sell them in bigger job lots, I have seen people buy larger sets to use in party bags, but you would have to be very competitive on price

Hi, we move threads if we think they’ll get more help elsewhere (please read the forum rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

I’ve moved your thread from the ‘I wanna' board to the ‘Ebay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales’ board, where it is better suited.

Create one buy it now listing with a quantity of 200 so it works like a shop sale instead?

320 is an awful lot to "acquire". Presumably you'll be listing as a business, paying tax and offering returns under the distance selling regulations?

320 bags of Lego... What a glorious problem!

Sell it on ebay as a job lot & let someone else have the hassle but more profit.

Or get it valued, donate it to a charitable organsiation (childrens ward, Scouts) & claim the charitable gift against tax?

There are lots of the daily mail polys about, so if you want a quick sale you’re looking at between £1 and £2 per poly before fees, depending on the split and figs. If you’ve some of the older ones, you may be able to get a little more. But realistically anyone buying in bulk will be buying to sell on, and will want something out of it.

There is a guy I buy from who does 10 for 16.65 incl. shipping.

Break it down into sets of 10’s or 50’s and price accordingly.

If you are in no rush to sell, drip feed them on at a higher price. They will sell at maybe 2-3 a week.

The Distance Selling Regulations only apply to items sold before 13 June 2014.

They have been replaced by the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
