90_Shelby Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I have several Pirate Lego sets from the early 90's including original boxes and instructions. What is this stuff worth and where is the best place to sell it if I want to let it go? As I clean up the pieces and sort it between sets, I imagine I'll also find a few missing or broken pieces. Where is the best place to buy individual lego parts? Thanks for any info. I have the following sets: 6234 - Renegade's Raft 6235 - Buried Treasure 6236 - King Kahuka 6247 - Bounty Boat 6256 - Islander Catamaran 6258 - Smuggler's Shanty 6259 - Broadside's Brig 6261 - Raft Raider's 6262 - King Kahuka's Throne 6266 - Cannon Cove 6268 - Renegade Runner 6270 - Forbidden Island 6271 - Imperial Flagship 6277 - Imperial Trading Post 6278 - Enchanted Island 6286 - Skull's Eye Schooner Quote
Sigolf Brimabane Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) That sounds like a really nice collection. Skull's Eye Schooner, Imperial Trading Post, Imperial Flagship and Forbidden Island are especially nice sets! I guess you could try to sell them on ebay. For individual parts I suggest www.bricklink.com, but it takes a while to learn how to use it properly. There are a lot of stores on there, and it's all about finding the place that has the most items for the lowest price x) There you can also see what your sets might be worth on average, but I guess if you want to be sure to sell them, you should put the price down a bit when you auction them out. Edit: You are more than welcome to sell Skull's Eye Schooner to me if the price and condition are right ;) That's one of the quite many sets that I miss. But it's number one on my wanted list among the missed sets. :) Edited January 16, 2016 by Sigolf Brimabane Quote

Staslegomaster Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Your collection is a real treasure for many fans on the site. Quote
Sigolf Brimabane Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Ah, sorry. That offer was more of a joke anyway, I don't have the money for an SES. Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 You can sell your collection on: ebay, Bricklink, here in EB under Sales and Trades Section. Admin, please move it to Sales and Trades Section. Regards Quote
Staslegomaster Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 This is enough for a large pirate diarama. Please add pictures for fans to see what you have got. Quote
berninhr Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Very impressive collection. Some of those sets I would really like to have :) Quote
90_Shelby Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for the compliments. I'll check out bricklink and see if I can find a store with the 7 broken pieces I have and an additional 3 missing pieces. That's not bad considering it's been sitting around for 20 years. Speaking of missing pieces, I don't know the names of a few of the pieces therefore I can't find them on bricklink. Can I post pictures here to figure out what they are? One of the pieces looks like a black jousting spear and the other a flexible piece used to hold down a front mast on a boat. Since I can't sell anything on this forum I'll take your recommendation regarding where I should, I appreciate the help. Once I figure out how to post pictures, I'll post a couple of all the sets. It took a surprisingly long time to clean and assemble everything in order to check inventory of parts, take a few pictures, then bag and box everything again. Quote
chofus Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Nice colection and condition of bricks :-) Quote
Dreamweb Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 That's a very impressive collection of some true classics. So you put it all together and then disassembled again? That indeed must have taken some time. Quote
Reidnex Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Nice collection. I only have Pirate's Plunder. And i am missing redcoat officers hands and a pistol( Quote
supermade Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Always great to see collections like these! Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Islanders sets on ebay. What is yoi ebay ID? Quote
Alcarin Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Imperial Trading post was my most loved set from Pirates as a kid, since I never got the big ship. I played with it the most, probably most of all my sets excluding the Black Knight's Castle. Wondering if you would sell it seperately. Quote
90_Shelby Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) My username on eBay is the same as here. 90_shelby Edited February 9, 2016 by 90_Shelby Quote
90_Shelby Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Islanders sets are sold even though I accidentally only listed them for sale in Canada. oops. 6234, 6235, 6247, 6258, 6259 will be up shortly. Quote
