Before you come in…
Please send us a digital list or spreadsheet if you have more than 5 sets or 15 minifigures to niles.il@bricksandminifigs.com. Do NOT send a hand-written list via a photograph or photos of any kind (unless asked). Please include in the spreadsheet the quantity, set number, condition of the items (new, built, missing figures / parts) along with what you’re looking to get for the entire lot. Any sets not assembled to the best of your ability will be considered as partial sets or bulk, depending on how much was not put together.
Bulk pricing is based on the quantity (volume), quality (cleanliness & damaged parts), percentage of non-LEGO® elements, and the needs of the store. We will typically purchase loose minifigure parts at $.18-.25 per piece (roughly $.75-1.00 per fig) for any standard minifigs. Friend’s figures (mini-dolls) will typically be around 1/2 as much. Friends sets and minifigures are our slowest moving product, therefore we pay the least for these. Licensed sets such as Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Marvel, Scooby-Doo and others will typically fetch more as they are more sought after.
Please keep in mind that if you do not send us a spreadsheet ahead of time and get a response from our management team, we may ask you to come back another day, due to lack of being able to process your trade on the spot. **NOTE** We as a company cannot take any new-in-box products currently available from LEGO.com without a receipt of purchase. You also must be 18 years of age or older, or have a parent or legal guardian with you in order to process the transaction.

How to Sell & Trade:
Bring your LEGO product to the store’s Sell & Trade counter. We will evaluate what you have and based on several factors, including:
- condition
- demand
- rarity
- quantity on hand at store
After assesing these, we can then make you an offer. You can then either sell us what you brought and feel good knowing that you have passed your love of LEGO on to a new generation–and got paid to do it–OR you can trade it in for in-store credit and get that set or minifig that you’ve been wanting!
