Don’t Get Ripped Off: Why We Pay Up to 8x More for LEGO® Sets Than the "Big" Buy-Back Sites

The Problem with "Per-Kilo" LEGO® Buying

If you’ve been looking to sell LEGO® sets in the UK, you’ve likely seen sites that offer to buy your bricks by weight. Even big names like WeBuyBricks have started offering set buy-backs, but there is a massive catch: many high-volume services still use "bulk plastic" logic to value your rare collectors' items.

At SellABrick.com, we know your sets aren't just weight; they are assets. That’s why we built the UK’s only Daily AI Price Tracker specifically for the LEGO® secondary market.


The 8x Value Gap: The Data Doesn't Lie

We recently performed a head-to-head market comparison. For several retired Star Wars UCS, Technic, and Modular Building sets, our offer was significantly higher—in some cases, over 8 times more than what the major automated "per-kilo" competitors offered for the same items.

Why is the difference so extreme?

How We Calculate Your Offer (Total Transparency)

We don’t hide behind "hidden fees" or "scrap" prices. We provide a transparent payout based on real-time data. Our formula is simple:

  1. Real-Time Market Value: Pulled daily by our AI.
  2. Minus Essential Costs: We deduct VAT, Free Shipping, and a small resale margin.
  3. Your Payout: You receive a fair, high-value offer that reflects the actual market.


Speed & Convenience vs. The Marketplace Headache

You could try to sell your sets yourself on eBay, but after you lose 13% to fees, pay for high-end packaging, and deal with "missing piece" claims from strangers, you often end up with less money and more stress.

Our business grows month-on-month because we’ve solved the problem: Market-leading prices with a fast, professional sale.
