This is my first ever post, so bear with me. I have a Lego Chef. It’s a 2012
Lego Store build. There are 73 pcs. with instructions. I purchased in Cincinnati,
Ohio at the Kenwood Mall store. It’s adult owned and has been built once. I haven’t
been able to find another one like it.

No, I can’t.
Sometimes when a new part is €0,02 I price a used part €0,01 so 50% less, quite
much in percentage but not much in total.
A larger or more sought after part can be €0,25 when new and used €0,15 so 40%
less and it varies all the time.
The only importance to me is what parts costs in other stores, so it is never
a certain percentage but always a comparison.

used though, they can carry a lower price than new parts of the exact
same variety (masonry bricks seem to be an exception but those were on many store
PaB walls not too long ago).

That being said, does anyone happen to have a good estimate for how much less
on average as a percent used are from new?

This is the only Troy I know:

I knew a Troy o(u)nce.
Each time we met, he said: “Hi, I’m Troy McClure.  You may remember me from….”

Maybe this one? Seems to have the right number according to its inventory:

 
Set No: 044  Name: Jumbo Bricks
* 
044-2 (Inv) Jumbo Bricks
30 Parts, 1969
Sets: Samsonite: Jumbo Bricks

However without the box it's only as valuable as its individual parts - which,
don't get me wrong, are valuable.

Would bricklink be the best market for this items? or should I find a local person?
I'm in Minneapolis.

I'll need to learn how bricklink works I've only used other sites for
a few items in the past.

Some of the bricks are very dirty from age. I assume soap and a toothbrush to
clean them will be ok?

I think I might part the extra bricks out if its possible?


Hiya, I'm also a full time picker when I'm not selling LEGO here. This
is honestly probably an ebay item. Auctions are specifically for items you do
NOT know the value of. A place like Bl is for items you know the value of.

If you list it here, you'll have to start high and slowly move the price
down if you want top dollar. Otherwise you can just guess.

The value here is mainly the box, IMO people will pay ridiculous amounts for
boxes, and I must say, that one looks pretty decent. Most people seem to only
want 1 or 2 of these bricks for display or novelty purposes.

Its a great find. I'm envious.

Jeez... $33,001.00!!!

That's insane. Spot price for the gold weight of that is less than $300.

Correction, sounds like it's over an ounce in weight. Spot price for 14K
gold is $1,184.21 USD per ounce. I thought it was a lot less than an ounce.

  This oddly came with blue bricks as well. Maybe this is a packaging mistake?

You also seem to have about double the number of red and white bricks that would
normally be included in this set?

I counted 24 white and 24 red, in addition to 6 blue, but according to

 
Set No: 105  Name: Pre-School Beginners Set
* 
105-4 (Inv) Pre-School Beginners Set
24 Parts, 1964
Sets: Samsonite: Jumbo Bricks

it should have only 12 of each.

I'll need to see what sets came with red, white and blue to see if they're
from another set.

Maybe this one? Seems to have the right number according to its inventory:

 
Set No: 044  Name: Jumbo Bricks
* 
044-2 (Inv) Jumbo Bricks
30 Parts, 1969

However without the box it's only as valuable as its individual parts - which,
don't get me wrong, are valuable.

 
Part No: x1446  Name: Jumbo Brick 2 x 4
* 
x1446 Jumbo Brick 2 x 4
Parts: Jumbo Bricks {White}
 
Part No: x1446  Name: Jumbo Brick 2 x 4
* 
x1446 Jumbo Brick 2 x 4
Parts: Jumbo Bricks {Red}
 
Part No: x1446  Name: Jumbo Brick 2 x 4
* 
x1446 Jumbo Brick 2 x 4
Parts: Jumbo Bricks {Blue}

Most "high value" bricks seem to be mostly either the (much less common)
European version of these bricks skewing the price guide, or one Italian seller.
There certainly is value in this set, but don't look at the highest prices
for individual bricks in the catalog.
