1580-Pc LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR Race Car Building Set Expired

If this is your leasure money and you're being fiscally responsible, I think Lego is an absolutely excellent investment. They not only increase in value over time by a lot with virtually all of their sets but you also get an experience when you build it and that's a big part of why Lego is the second most profitable toy company in the world. I would even pick Lego over a photo realistic model because it's neat to see things in Lego form rather you're in your 20's or 40's, just no one over 99, its max age limit for Lego sets. Perhaps thats why Prince Phillip didn't want to be around anymore O.O #likelyconspiracytheory


Answer to question:

The vast majority of the worlds biggest private lego collectors build their Lego sets, many try to buy one for them to build and another as an investment. If you're purely in it for profit, NEVER open the box.

- You lose about 30% once it's opened

- You cannot claim it as new condition which makes your sale slower even if you undercut

- You cannot take advantage of certain seller protections like Collector, Factory Sealed such as Ebay

But again, most of the worlds biggest private Lego collectors and YouTubers build their sets because it's fun to them, that's the joy for them, not seeing it inside a box (although most also invest so they do both). But if you're doing this purely or mostly as an investment, then of course you don't open it. If you're in between both, only open the sets you really love and keep the rest sealed, inside a box in a closet away from any house smells, pet dander, etc and ONLY buy from stores where they are very likely to ship it in mint condition and/or will accept an exchange if the box arrives damaged.. this hurts sales a lot if its badly damaged.
