BIThere is a viral video going around that is taking the Lego community by storm.
@mgsbrick visited 4 Bricks and Minifigs locations with a bin full of Lego minifigures including common, rare, extremely rare, and valuable minifigures.
Lego Star Wars Darth Malgas, Lego Star Wars Chrome C3P0, Lego DC Bane, and many more.
Bricks and Minifigs is kind of like the GameStop or Pawn Shop of the Lego community.
There are dishonest and honest people in the Lego community and all communities, unfortunately.
My biggest issue is the sloppy presentation of the minifigures (by the "customer") and the mindset that "Bricks and Minifigs employees are the experts."
LAZY. LAZY. LAZY.
Do you own research. STOP BEING LAZY. Bringing in minifigures that aren't together and expecting every employee to know the values of 100s of thousands of different minifigures is unrealistic and LAZY.
Why would you trust and ask a random employee to sort your stuff, put it together, and then give you a great price for it? Unrealistic and LAZY.
At the end of the video, the final owner holds onto the Chrome C3PO minifigure and gives the rest back to the guys (also told them it was fake).... was he trying to steal it? Was it an honest mistake? Personally, I would be MAD and I would have accused him of stealing it as well.
Some Owners gave good advice on how to find values of your collection. Ebay, Bricklink, Mercari, FB Marketplace, etc.
Personally, I have had positive experiences at my local Cherry Hill NJ Bricks and Minifigs.
The video was informative and entertaining, but also extremely aggravating.
Trust yourself. Do your due dillegence. Put in the effort. Don't blindly trust people when it comes to $$.
Let me know your thoughts.
I post daily Lego content.
