| I'm trying to sell 3001/2x4 bricks on another site, and I would like to affirm
some information I have provided them with in relation to test bricks.
Please disregard my ignorance, I just need accurate information. I would dislike
providing misleading details to any potential buyer.
Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

I've been offered a potential sale to a current buyer valued at AUD$100,
which I appreciate more than you know.
What monetary value would you place on the bricks in the attached images?
Milky, marbled B and C bricks + soft, pastel green brick?
I encourage any respondents.

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

Yes, the mold made two bricks at a time, one with and one without the "flag".

| 6 down, far right. I have a F1-F4 run that is a close match to that.
I know what I paid for every Grangenouth brick I obtained.
I've sold one cheap already - need and want are two entirely different things
I really like that dark sandy green blend you have, one hell of alot.

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

Most are standard production bricks.
Also have a fair number of Kiddicraft bricks.

to compare them with to make a judgement.
I've more I want to sell but I'm holding off until I can find time to
do some research and price accordingly.
Check out those listed under 3001special, paying attention to descriptions, however
it's very limited in providing useful information unless your bricks closely
resemble those there.
Items sold on BL provide no useful information as detailed information on individual
bricks is not available.
They regularly sell between £20 - £80 each, less at the higher price, I'd
guess £30 each is not unusual for one a little rarer.
The old advice comes in here, price high and be prepared to come down, you could
ask for offers if already listed and then sell it through BL at the new price.
I had one brick, not 3001special which I didn't want to sell despite numerous
generous offers but eventually sold through BL at a very good price, couldn't
say no.
However a lot are sold under £10.
Also check out Flickr if you have time to dig around and find those being offered
there, many of the collectors will post items on offer.

It's easy to price the commonly found bricks.
I do like the fee structure here. On that other site I have to price 15% above
retail, just to equate for fees alone, unless I get a low final evaluation offer.
What GOOD brick did you sell? I do love them all...
So far I've sold two lots - one common larger lot of 8xC bricks priced high,
and one rarer, smaller lot priced reasonably.
I didn't only get bricks - I got minifigures, cases, parts.
Tricky.

I won't ask you the details regarding that, but I have to say - it is beautiful!
I can see how you were torn
I've done a quick Flickr,time is a killer.
The brick, or bricks I regard as being in my most wanted are Maxxx3001's
older globe accomodating, light bricks. If that makes any sense.

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

Check out those listed under 3001special, paying attention to descriptions, however
it's very limited in providing useful information unless your bricks closely
resemble those there.
Items sold on BL provide no useful information as detailed information on individual
bricks is not available.
They regularly sell between £20 - £80 each, less at the higher price, I'd
guess £30 each is not unusual for one a little rarer.
The old advice comes in here, price high and be prepared to come down, you could
ask for offers if already listed and then sell it through BL at the new price.
I had one brick, not 3001special which I didn't want to sell despite numerous
generous offers but eventually sold through BL at a very good price, couldn't
say no.
However a lot are sold under £10.
Also check out Flickr if you have time to dig around and find those being offered
there, many of the collectors will post items on offer.

| Have to agree with Nathan here, post a few pics and just watch who appears.
There are a number of bricks associated with Wrexham too, many of which aren't
that well known and not particularly collected, maybe only one or two of us.
These look like many other standard bricks, nothing unusual, the only one I would
pick out other than the waxy looking bricks are those UK sideways logo bricks.
Samsonite of North America produced these sideways logo bricks too but the mould
markings, studs, logo style, spruce position are different as are the colours
available.
They come in CA and ABS.

exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

There are a number of bricks associated with Wrexham too, many of which aren't
that well known and not particularly collected, maybe only one or two of us.
These look like many other standard bricks, nothing unusual, the only one I would
pick out other than the waxy looking bricks are those UK sideways logo bricks.
Samsonite of North America produced these sideways logo bricks too but the mould
markings, studs, logo style, spruce position are different as are the colours
available.
They come in CA and ABS.

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.

They range in numbers 1-6 and are the only ones with the cross support. They

companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

| As for the abcd ones they are more common than the 2xabcd ones and come in all
sorts of colors...there are supposed to be over a thousand shades that bayer
made. The set is very nice. The milky bricks are a bit uncommon and look good.
It is just a mix of color and uncolored plastic and as more coloring is added
it would appear more and more "solid".

If you have a link to something that will inform me of exactly what I'm selling,
I really would appreciate that - more than you know.

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
