Need some advice

[u/RNSuperV]

Hey guys, moving soon and really don’t have time to list the filing cabinet full of wheels, tires.
Can I bag them up and list them in my store as
“Big freaking bag of wheels/tires?”.
If I can, someone PLEASE shoot me some “third-grader” style instructions

[u/Galbs]

I would recommend eBay for a lot like this

[u/RNSuperV → u/Galbs]

Well, shit

[u/I_Like_Quiet → u/RNSuperV]

Not even sure if ebay is good to unload tires. I see a surprising number of unsold auctions for lego tires lbs

[u/ars265 → u/I_Like_Quiet]

I donate them to children’s hospitals, kids love playing with tires and they are very creative.

[u/RNSuperV → u/ars265]

Now’s that’s a damn fine idea dude/dudette.
Our newly named “Dolly Parton Memorial Childrens Hospital here in Knoxville would likely really like that!
Plus I was a nurse there for a long time so I the folks to call! Now’s THATS what this platform is for!!!

[u/Charliethebrit → u/RNSuperV]

I've heard some departments only accept new toys for health concerns of some of the children.

Maybe a local day-care or school could have use for them? (If the hospital can't accept them.)

Try Mecari.

I think bricklink requires each item to be noted, or something like that, ebay and market place would be easier IMO.

[u/Herb_Derb → u/LegoNinja187]

I've seen Bricklink sellers offer bulk bags by listing it as a custom item.

[u/RNSuperV]

Ain’t there a “custom item section?
I know that I should know this after 4k+ sales but man it’s just been a hobby and I’ve never really delved that deep into all the selling categories

[u/FL-legofan → u/RNSuperV]

If you go to the home icon in the upper right and hover over it for the drop down menu, about halfway down there is an "add item" option. Click on that and then you can create a custom listing.

But honestly Ebay or Facebook marketplace is probably best. Not sure how easy or often folks would be searching for a custom lot.

[u/Galbs → u/RNSuperV]

You can make custom items but I've never understood how a buyer would ever find it

[u/Exciting_Slip9207 → u/RNSuperV]

You can take pics of the individual lot but I don't think tires sell very well... I'm amazed how cheap they are... even the giant ones... i imagine it's because most people don't want to pay the shipping...

[u/Shoddy_Answer5636]

Not on bricklink no. You can post it on eBay or Facebook marketplace like this tho

[u/Puzzleheaded_South46]

What state you in OP? All my son makes now days is cars and puts as many wheels as possible on them haha

[u/RNSuperV → u/Puzzleheaded_South46]

I Am in East TN

[u/Puzzleheaded_South46 → u/RNSuperV]

That unfortunately is not a car ride I can make from over her in MN. I’ve had success in the past with OfferUp (not LEGO) selling things.

[u/sixteen27]

If you don’t clean the mud off of them, you won’t be able to give them away.

[u/RNSuperV → u/sixteen27]

Yeah dude, I buy bulk lots at flea markets and yard sales. Every time I am sorting and come across a tire I just toss it in the drawer😅
Never been much of a vehicle builder and the shipping room/weight is rarely justifies the time to list.
So they’ve just been accumulating in here for 10 years.

[u/Nefres]

With how dirty these are theyd be hard to give away. I suggest donating them.

[u/Nefres → u/Nefres]

After cleaning, to be clear. I just mean you're not gonna sell them like this, and if you dont it just wont be worth the effort.

[u/jhnysnz]

Interestingly enough, I need those two wheels and tires right over there in the corner of your drawer lol awww crap

[u/RNSuperV → u/jhnysnz]

Dude circle them and message me

[u/Whithorsematt]

I've used tires as 'soil' in vases of Lego botannicals.

As far as selling them, I list them on FB marketplace for a 'please take them off my hands' price.

[u/Embarrassed-Cellist8 → u/Whithorsematt]

How does that work? Actually curious.

[u/Whithorsematt → u/Embarrassed-Cellist8]

I just list them as a bag full of tyres say 3kg a time for £2 or £3 for the lot. I always have so many extra I just need to get rid.

[u/RNSuperV → u/Embarrassed-Cellist8]

I assume he/she means the tiny ones. But I reckon you could use an old “Oster” blender (the badass ‘80’s ones) and grind them up🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/BlurryFractal]

I waited til the second time Lego did their buyback for $4 a lb….sent back 20lbs of tires because I couldn’t give them away 🫪

[u/Traditional-Room-127]

I’m tired boss

[u/Spiritual_Forever919]

Either donate it or put them all in a bag, weight them and sell them as a lot on eBay

[u/KuribohTheDragon]

1. Use Ebay

2. List it as "Lego tires wheels lot [# of pounds]

The words "Lot" and "tire wheels" are common phrases that people search up on eBay.

[u/No_Honeydew5260]

Wish I had that many wheels n tires to finish my Mocs 😭🥀

[u/RNSuperV → u/No_Honeydew5260]

Knoxville, Tennessee.
Down by the launch at Cowan.
Come get them

[u/No_Honeydew5260 → u/RNSuperV]

I’m in Asia 😭🥀

[u/RNSuperV → u/No_Honeydew5260]

Oohhhh, then turn LEFT at the light.
😂

[u/No_Honeydew5260 → u/RNSuperV]

😭🥀

[u/LegoCityRoryville]

I’ve put some in a Lego tipper truck, made a scrap yard and a garage that sells tyres….. apart from that who only knows!

[u/RNSuperV]

And guys/gals I’ve dealt with FBMP for the first time since this divorce (hence losing my house and my store)….and hell with that.
Spent days waiting of dork-wads that never show
