How it works

Four steps, and three of them are ours.

You do almost nothing. No listing, no photographs, no packing, no posting, no buyer messages, no returns, and no waiting for somebody to click buy.

01
You send a list

Set numbers and rough quantities are plenty. It does not need tidying up and you do not need to price anything, that is our job. Put down whatever you have not listed anywhere yet, because that is usually the good stuff.

02
We price every set

Not a price per kilo. Each set is priced on what that set actually sells for sealed, and you get one figure for the whole lot. Same day, and often within the hour.

03
We collect, or you post

For a big collection we drive to you anywhere in the UK, load it ourselves and pay for it. For a smaller lot postage is easier for everyone and we cover that too. Your choice either way.

04
You get paid

Bank transfer on the day we collect, before we leave. Not after an inspection, not in seven working days, and not less than we agreed.

Why the price does not change. A lot of buyback works the other way round: you post everything first, and the offer only turns up once your boxes are out of your house and you have no say in it. We price from your list before anything moves. That is the figure you are paid. If one set genuinely is not as described we will talk to you about that set, and you can keep it. We do not re-open the whole deal.
Four questions, one minute

What have you got?

Tell us roughly what is there and we will come back with one price for the lot.

Set numbers and rough quantities. Paste it in however it comes.

Photos of the boxes are welcome too. Email those to sell@buymybricks.com.

Just the first part, so we can sort out collection.

Goes straight to Peter. Most lists get a price back the same day.

Rather talk to someone +44 1904 900212

Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. If we are out on a collection, leave a message and you will get a call back the same day.

What we buy

We buy all sets.

If it is retired, factory sealed and the box is in reasonable condition, we are interested. Every theme, every era, from a £20 polybag to a Millennium Falcon. Technic, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Icons, Ideas, Creator Expert, Modular Buildings and Disney are the ones we shift fastest, but do not go sorting your collection into piles on our account. Send the lot and we will price the lot.

The size we are really after. Ideally a collection worth around £8,000 or more. That works properly for both of us and it is the size we can move quickly on. But if you have no idea what yours is worth, just send it over. We will always price a collection, you get a quote out of it either way, and there is nothing to sign. Or ring us and we will talk it through. No worries.

What we do not buy. Opened sets, built sets, loose bricks by weight, or boxes with pieces missing. It is a completely different market and we would only be guessing at the value, which is no use to you or to us. Tell us anyway and we will be straight with you.
Who you are dealing with

We buy and sell a lot of LEGO®.

Sealed retired sets are what we do all day, so we know what each one is worth and we know what a good box looks like. That is why we price every set on its own, and it is why we care what condition yours are in.

  • A proper business, not somebody working off a kitchen table
  • A real warehouse in York, not a PO box
  • Peter James Trading Ltd, VAT registered
  • Rated on Trustpilot by our customers
Hundreds of thousands of pounds of sealed LEGO® bought Whole collections, shop stock and single rare sets, from people right across the UK. We are set up to pay for a big lot and move it the same day, so the size of yours is not a problem.
Common questions

The things people ask.

Will I get a fair price?

Yes. Every set is priced on its own, on what that set actually sells for sealed, and you get the figure before anything moves. We are not going to pretend we match what you would make selling all of it yourself over a year. What you get instead is the whole lot gone in one go, at a price we tell you up front and stand by.

Can I sell it today?

Send your list this morning and you will usually have a price back within the hour. If you are happy with it we will sort the collection out there and then. Whether we send a carrier or come and do it ourselves depends on how much there is, and we will tell you which when we give you the price.

Do I get cash?

Bank transfer, done on the day we collect and before we leave, so you can watch it land. It is faster and safer than counting notes on a doorstep, and you have a record of it.

Am I committed to anything?

No. The valuation is free and there is no obligation at either end. Plenty of people ask for a price just to find out what they are sitting on, and that is absolutely fine. If you do not like the number, say so and that is the end of it.

Why not just sell it myself?

If you have one or two good sets, do. You will do better. A collection is a different job entirely. Every box photographed, every listing written, every daft question answered, every one packed and posted, then the buyer who says it arrived damaged, the one who opens a case, the one who wants a refund three weeks later, and the fees. Do that four hundred times and it is your evenings gone for the best part of a year. We take the lot in one go and you are done by the weekend.

Can you change the price when it arrives?

No, unless there is damage or something that was not disclosed. If everything matches your list, the price we gave you is the price you are paid. If a box turns up crushed, or there are sets missing that were on the list, we will talk to you about those specific items. What we will not do is re-open the whole deal once your boxes are already loaded.

How many sets do I need?

We are set up for collections rather than single sets. If you have one or two sealed sets you will do better selling them yourself, and we would rather tell you that than waste your afternoon. A cupboard, a loft or a unit full is exactly what we are after.

What if I do not have a list?

Send photographs of the piles instead. It is not ideal, but we can work from it and come back to you with the questions we need answering.

Do I have to post it?

Not for a big collection. We come to you anywhere in the UK, at our cost, and we do the loading. For smaller lots postage is easier for everyone and we cover that as well.

Is my collection too big?

No. The bigger the better, and we would rather take the whole thing than pick the best bits out and leave you with the awkward leftovers nobody wants.

The simple way to sell your sets.

Send us a list. One price for the lot, same day. We collect it and pay you before we leave.
