| I was an active seller on this site 15 years ago. I recently have began to buy
new sets and lots as my son is 4 years old and he seems to enjoy it. I like the
creator houses from the past couple of years.
Anyway, I bought a 40 lb lot from a garage sale last summer ($120). I've
been wanting to get rid of it as we just don't have the room and my son isn't
ready for the types of pieces in this lot.
I noticed is has an unusual number of DARK GREEN 1x3 bricks, maybe 100 to 150!
In the past thirty minutes or so I have discovered that this piece is quite rare
and evidently worth about $6.00 A PIECE(?)! I see it was only available in the
10133 BNSF Locomotive. It came with two.
How is it that I would have so many in this box? Obviously they did not own 50+
Locomotive sets based on the parts in the lot. I really believe I have the dark
green parts. They are not regular green, sand green, teal, or lime, and they
are certainly not a clone brick. At a glance, I have a 2x2 invert slope, 4x8
plate and a forestman style large plant piece that are the same color.
Could they have been in a LEGO Store pick-a-brick? When I have time, possibly
tomorrow I will see how many there actually are. Any thought or comments would
be appreciated.

| Then you were very lucky with this lot.
The color is really Dark Green, so you do not have to doubt it.
Probably this person has ever bought at a LEGO Store pick-a-brick.
Nice find!

... But it sold a total of 79 during the last 6 months, so you probably will
have problems selling yours for that price, especially since you have no other
bricks for sale.
Maybe you are better of selling it in bulk to someone here

Personally, I'd just use a 1x1 and 1x2 dark green brick combo for $0.12 total
to achieve the same result.

I would say they most certainly came from a LEGO store pick-a-brick. Or someone
who ordered them from LEGO direct for a custom project. LEGO produces the parts
to make sets in bulk. When the sets are retired/discontinued, the surplus parts
sometimes end up in the LEGO store PaB section. This has been the case with
certain CMF parts as well. I have also ended up with unique parts in large quantities
from bulk lots that were only minimally available via a certain set. And it
seems you got a very nice, very lucky score on this one. Congrats!

| So I ended up finding 288 of these. They are in all great used condition. If
anyone would like to buy these to sell in their store I could take serious offers
and sell them to you via the proper channels on BL. I'm not going to give
them away. Maybe you can make US$1.00 profit per brick. Or maybe this is a long
shot.
