Please be aware of Bricks & Minifigs. They actually took ("accidentally/mistakenly misplaced") a guy's gold C3-PO
BlockTalk Summary
A recent video has raised serious concerns about the practices of Bricks & Minifigs (BAM), a store that buys and sells LEGO sets and minifigures. The video details a troubling experience where a seller believes a valuable minifigure was intentionally mishandled during a transaction.
The video's creator brought a box of rare LEGO figures to four different BAM locations, posing as a regular seller. He estimated the figures' value at around $600, but adjusted the price to approximately $300 to account for the store's policies. Each location offered him a low price, around $100. At the final location, he included a gold C-3PO minifigure, valued at over $1000. The employee at this location allegedly "accidentally" failed to return the C-3PO to the box.
This incident has sparked significant concern within the LEGO community. The uploader strongly advises against using Bricks & Minifigs, citing the potentially unethical behavior displayed in the video.
If you're looking to sell your LEGO collection, be sure to document everything carefully and consider taking photos or videos of your items. You might also want to invest in a LEGO display case to protect your valuable minifigures.
