In the Uk, charity shops (I.e. thrift shops) are great for finding secondhand Lego sets. However, the way it’s sold is sometimes amusing! I’ve seen full boxes of Lego sold for £5, and then very unrare sets labelled for £200+ Yesterday, I saw a shop trying to sell a set as individual bags! Not sure what the set was, possibly Harry Potter? But yeah, I couldn’t work out if it was good value or not! submitted by /u/Artistic-Ideal-5087 [link] [comments]
