Is there any value in vintage lego?

Hi all,

As per the title, is there any value in vintage lego.  I’ve acquired a few old sets, some with 3 digit numbers, and some that don’t appear to have numbers on the instructions, but I’m not sure what to do with them.  If there’s value in them, (just bricks and instructions) then I’ll sort, build and maybe consider selling on.  If not, then the bricks can join my collection.  

Any thoughts or ideas?

My recommendation is to check Bricklink for current market value: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page

If any of the sets are very valuable, and you don't want to keep them, you could potentially make a profit and use the proceeds to buy a lot of LEGO that you do want. 

I tend to keep all my sets, no matter how old.  LEGO really is timeless.  I have a lot of stuff from the 80's and 90's that kids in the 2010's found amazing and fun to build with.

Thanks for the advice.  I didn’t think brick link went back that far.  Looking at most, they’re not worth much, so the parts will enter the brick bins for regular building.
