| Not looking to do anything unofficially just trying to figure out possibilities.
I have over 150 pounds of bionicle parts. For many years I had my son, godsons
and a Cub Scout troop where bionicles were simply perfect for trips - creations
could be built in vehicles easily, and appealed to varying ability levels. So
I continuously purchased sets and bulk lots to keep a wide variety of on hand.
Now all my boys are well past bionicles and I am trying figure out best options.
Ideally, I would like to trade parts, or reconstruct some of the more popular
sets and trade them for store credit for regular system bricks and parts. Are
there other options/ideas? Also not sure how to identify which bionicle sets
would be most sought after that I could then see if I could put together, does
anyone know if this is possible here on BL? What I am not interested in is opening
a store or selling on eBay. Just the thought of trying to figure out how to
setup anything regarding shipping…….
Thanks Much!

Though I have never dealt in Bionicle, it has intrigued me throughout my LEGO
years. Never really quantified exactly why though
The theme ran for 16 years from its inception in 2000, then stopped? I assumed
that TLG had, as they've done with so many other proprietary themes, jettisoned
the line. But I now see that it’s been resurrected with this 2023 set?
Back to the point of your post: if you were within face-to-face range (given
your reluctance with shipping) I’d being contacting you to try and grab the lot
and figure-out later what to do with it. But you’re not “in range” which is probably
fortunate for me

My reluctance with shipping relates to running a store or selling items on eBay.
I am just finishing two years of consolidating 4 houses into 1 and a condo and
have donated thousands of dollars of collectibles, antiques and household items
which I don’t regret overall but might would have sold some of if I had the willingness
and where with all to do the work involved in figuring out all the shipping and
then of course the taxes and whatever else. Hats off to those of you who can
make it work for you.
Bionicles are not the most non-Lego Lego out there but close. The kids really
loved them though and they couldn’t be beat for long car trips as you didn’t
need flat stable places to build on. And the creatures could be anything and
any size no real limits with those joints plus could be as simple for young one
or complex for older ones just add different parts.

Here's some of the most wanted Bionicle parts:

There are definitely sellers on BL who specialize in Bionicle - whether they're
interested in trading is another question.
If you're disinterested in shipping then FB marketplace might be your best
bet.
