The Little Brick Market FAQ
How do I sell or trade in my LEGO®?
Just bring your LEGO® into the shop and we’ll take care of the rest. Depending on how busy the store is, evaluations can take up to 72 hours. If we can't get to it right away, you’re welcome to drop it off, and we’ll contact you when the evaluation is complete.
What do you look at when evaluating LEGO®?
We take pride in being thorough and fair. Here’s what we consider:
- Condition (cleanliness, damage, missing parts)
- Completeness (are all the bricks there?)
- Whether it includes the original box and manual
- Minifigure count and condition
- Market value using trusted sources like BrickLink
- Most importantly: how desirable or in-demand the item is for our store and community
How much do I get for my LEGO®?
Once we’ve evaluated your items, we’ll give you a fair offer based on our tiered system:
- 40% in cash
- 60% in trade credit toward our LEGO® inventory
💡These are our baseline rates. If your set is especially rare, in high demand, or in excellent condition, we may offer more. If it’s something less in demand, the offer might be a bit lower. We always aim to be fair and transparent.
What if I just want to trade, not sell?
Perfect! You’ll get the most value when trading for used LEGO®. Many of our regulars build their collections this way. We’re happy to help you trade up.
Can I just get a quote without committing?
Absolutely. We’re happy to give you a no-pressure evaluation so you can think it over. Just drop off your sets and we’ll follow up with you.
Please note:
At this time, we’re only offering trade and sale evaluations in store. We’re not able to provide quotes through email or social media. This helps us give each collection the proper attention it deserves. Thanks for understanding!
What kinds of LEGO® do you accept?
We accept most LEGO® sets, and minifigs, as long as they’re clean and in decent shape. If you’re not sure, bring it in and we’ll take a look together.
Do I need to bring the box or instructions?
It helps, but it’s not required. We’ll still evaluate the set, and we’ll let you know if those items affect the value.
How do I get started?
Swing by the store during business hours, or give us a heads-up if you’re planning to drop off a large collection. We’re excited to see what you’ve got!
What if my used as-is set is missing some pieces?
If a set you purchase from us is missing some pieces we will be happy to either
- direct you to BrickLink to purchase the pieces yourself or
- order the pieces in on your behalf.
