Subject: My LEGO collection for saleMessage Body:
Greetings,
This is James Mathis, and I’ve posted my lifetime LEGO(R) collection for sale.
The collection includes over 600 sets, greater than 125,000 pieces, and spans years from the mid-1970s to 2006. I’m asking $17.5k. This value is 33% less than the prices as compared to other sellers’ offerings of similar individual sets in the collection. I thought that members of LEGO Clubs might consider a group purchase to share the cost of this bulk assortment should members see anything of interest in my collection. Most all of the sets since the late 1970s include the original paper building instructions booklets which have been stored in folders in plastic file folder storage bins.https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jamathis
All sets have been absorbed into my collection that is in storage. I have no access to the collection. It is in storage on a pallet in Portland, Oregon while I live on Maui. Actually, some of it is in Maui, mostly my MOCs of trains and vehicles, which I am also including in this bulk lot for sale so as to increase the completeness of all sets as advertised. Thus, I am unable to verify any details of completeness, except to say that I have monitored the inventory carefully over the time of ownership and MOC building. The 95% complete is an estimate which I think is conservative. In fact, I think most sets will be found to be near complete, if not 100% complete, but unfortunately, I can’t verify this. I certainly wish I could. I also can’t separate any sets into their constituent builds. All sets have been assimilated into the collective which is generally sorted by element shape and category. There are a few bins of unsorted parts as I did not have time to sort them when I put the collection in storage in 2007 when I moved to Maui.
Here are a few pictures of the bulk assortment and the included MOCs:
Thanks for checking this out.
Aloha,
James Mathis
