To hear the full story of Replay Bricks, turn on the sound.
We're Replay Bricks and no, we're not here to yank the Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon LEGO set out of your hands. But if you're one of the Imgurians with bulk LEGO bricks gathering dust in the basement or buried at the bottom of a closet, we might be able to make your day. We buy LEGO bricks by the pound, restore them to like-new condition, and sell them at a discounted price. Visit our website to get a quote and turn your LEGO leave-behinds into extra cash.
TheMentelgen
A.) The prices you guys are offering are a total ripoff. 3 bucks a pound is a complete joke. B.) Just save that shit and give it to your kid
TatianaSurber
This is the first thing with sound I've ever seen on here

VigorousButtstuff
Looks like a racket to me. Like Jewelry sales, they buy at ridiculously low prices and mark up extremely. Fuck those guys.
ML33W
Turn on sound? Oh look at that, the ad has sound...
slinks360
sounds like cash for gold! lol
replaybricks
Cash for gold sites pay -at the most- 50% of the value of gold. We pay top dollar for used LEGO - compare our prices to other auction sites!
moonfallsdown
This seems like a poor idea, given the ever-increasing value of Lego bricks. You don't even find cheap dumps on Craigslist anymore.
CNAshel
Pretty much exactly why these guys are here. Rising value brings out shit like this.

TittySprinklesNarratedByMorganFreeman5
Well then, here I was donating them to kids
PotionofGirlfriend
Yeah, I assumed this was going to be a charity at first, which would be amazing.
replaybricks
If you donate your collection to kids - you're a freakin ROCK STAR! But if you'd prefer cash to a good deed, we gotchu! ;)
FlyingSubmarines
Guys it has sound check the top right corner
TinkerThinker42
But how?
MADhouse64
Maybe because it's an ad? Not available for normal OC/OP?
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
Do you have a storefront that sells them as well? @OP
replaybricks
Nope, we're just online!
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
Well yeah, but an online storefront? I went to your website, but could only find the trade-in option, no sales :(
ImNotWhatISayIAm
Going garage sale shopping brb
TheMostBrutalOfAllUsernames
Why did you poke the advertiser?
replaybricks
Do it! We have quite a few people who pick up used LEGO at garage sales and thrift stores and flip them to us! Can be good for some extra $$
Jusmar
My bricks are the culmination of a few hundred if not a thousand bucks worth of kits from a dozen birthdays. No way can they match the price
replaybricks
You're right - we won't be able to match how much you paid for the LEGO new. But - considering these are used toys, we do offer quite a bit!
fapjacks
But these AREN'T just "used toys". You can't sell "used toys" at the rate of 250 Lego bricks for $25.
Jusmar
Fair enough.
Carnot
@replaybricks: How would one buy the refurbished bricks from you? The website is just about us selling, but who buys them from you? Schools?
Carnot
I'm a bit astonished that you don't mention this at all in your FAQ. How do you even make money?
CNAshel
My guess is the low-value stuff gets cycled into their boxes while they sell anything of value through an anonymized BL storefront.
CNAshel
Which is to say they veer awfully close to predatory practices..
toddthewee
Market is $5 to $10 a pound depending on condition, age, and purity. Understand if you sell here you're almost certainly taking a loss.
halobreakerrr
Seeing as most of my LEGOs were given as gifts over 20 years ago, that I haven't touched in almost as long, it's all profit.
toddthewee
Okay. Great! Sell that train or pirate ship at $3 a pound then. Or hundreds on the open market. I mean, it's all profit so what's the dif?
toddthewee
Just hit up bricklink and take a look at 6991, 6289, 10040, 10002 etc. Some Lego is worth *way* more than $3 a pound (or $10 a pound.)
YourNewStepDaddy
By the pound you say... (Stuffing lead pellets into lego bricks)
YourNewStepDaddy
I'll find a way to weigh them down. Don't you worry
replaybricks
People have tried that tactic before! (and honestly, the first time - IT WORKED!).. but we've now learned our lesson ;)
Hamsammiches
The important question they need to answer is how do we buy these refurbished Legos from them.
replaybricks
We do not sell direct to consumers - BUT, check out BoosterBricks.com - we supply them with their bricks :)
echonite
Your video said you recondition the bricks for the "next generation of builders to buy and enjoy"... so where are they buying them then?
echonite
Sounds misleading to me.
DukeDarkwood
It's indirect, but they ARE doing what they say. They do the refurbishing, then supply them to that site. You-Replay-Booster-NewOwner.
sabinati
this is a subscription service, that's a no for me
fapjacks
Exactly. For $25/month ($20 if you pay yearly) you get 250 bricks/month. That is nothing man. That is a fucking scam.
ScarletDeeds
Oh and you forgot the $8/month shipping in top of that
jdavis1186
Eeesh. I don't even buy brand new sets at that dollar/brick ratio.

yellowtimer
Can you buy legos from Replay Bricks? I didn't see anything about buying on the website.
replaybricks
Currently, no. We only wholesale to other companies and do not sell direct to consumers, though we may one day soon!
lcplspanky
Do you guys do keep the sets together, or do they all get turned in things like the lego buckets?
replaybricks
We RARELY do anything with sets and mainly focus on bulk parts and pieces :)
BalanceProblems
So you guys decided to stop selling via BlockPartyBricks on eBay?
Lurch1911
Do you have a quote if someone want to send in their legos, have them restored and sent back?
replaybricks
Unfortunately we do not offer this service - though we've definitely thought about it! Maybe one day! ;)
FuckMeFuckYou
That seems like lost profit to me. I'm sure a lot of the people commenting about never getting rid of their legos would pay to restore them.
replaybricks
Unfortunately between shipping both ways, time and labor cost (we sort piece by piece, by hand!) - there is little room for any profit :(
Lurch1911
Well the client would pay for the shipping and you could send the legos back at the price you would give for a new set of refurbished legos.
nijlonkai
Well you could just charge the consumer. Pretty simple. Really no different.
replaybricks
We would have to charge something like $5 a pound for this service.. and for that, most people would just buy more LEGO :P
haveanothergif
But *new* LEGOs are like $200 a pound
replaybricks
But if anyone is actually serious about wanting this, send us an email at [email protected] and we can talk details :)
fwiff0
How does one buy from you? A question for post and comments alike. I need more Castle/Middle Ages/Lord of the Rings bricks in my life

Try bricklink.com for used lego by the piece or set.

Seems that site pointed out by the OP is closed. I google searched for "refurbished sanitized legos" and found buildbythepound.com
thespottedbunny
I use brickwarriors.com for building medieval minifigs for my d&d games
youdontknowmeanddontneedto
This is what I want. Where's think like to buy discount refurbished Legos?! Count me in!
fapjacks
From their subscription service, of course! $25/month for 250 bricks/month. That's a dollar for ten Lego pieces. :S
Mrgrips
Same price as official sets, more or less
jdavis1186
If you're buying the licensed stuff at release. I like to wait until they've dropped a bit and favor the Creator sets.
GeoScienceMan
$30 for 10 pounds, I'd rather keep them and play with them with my kids some day
Reeroy
wish i read this before i gave them my email for an estimate
WhyIsThisStillEvenAQuestion
If that's what they pay, that's highway robbery
fapjacks
Especially because they resell these things for a ton of fucking money. $30 for ten pounds is nothing.
keyonne
Wow that's ridiculous
that1ditzydame
For the record, $30 for 10 pounds is a terrible deal. You can resell individual minifigs and bricks on sites like bricklink for much more
choakid999
I got $44 for 20! I was just estimating but shit, I'd rather just keep them and play with them myself
replaybricks
Totally understandable - definitely keep em! We only want to buy from peps who would rather pass on their collection :)
spaceystacey
I wanted to pass on my daughter's legos and a friend of mine has a son that hadn't seen 'girl' ones.He was thrilled when we gave them to him
NubeyTooby

RainingDeath909
You said you sell the Legos you restore. Where can someone but then?
WingedLemming
I checked their website. It gives no info on that, either. Hinky.
Gherkincensed
Yes! I want to buy bulk too...
replaybricks
We only wholesale to other companies and do not sell direct to consumers, though we may one day soon!
LVL80CatLady
I was hoping that you were a charity group that buys peoples lego, restores them to like new, and donates them to poor/poverty 1/2

MediaMuerte
Wouldn't you stand to make more money per pound?
sneef
I've got over 100 lbs of Legos, do you guys expect figures in each batch or will you except the ordinary block x 10000?
DranksAndDragons
Figures are the most expensive pieces, many can resell individually, don't bulk sell them unless you bulk sell AS mini figs.
replaybricks
We're mostly interested in bricks, but any minifigs included are definitely welcome. Email us at [email protected] for more details! :)
sneef
I have over 100 star wars clones and over 500 Lego people in total.I'm not willing to part with those.The figurines are worth more than bloc
GiveMeCorndogOrGiveMeDeath
I'm just a chick with a 9 yr old boy with a Lego addiction that rivals crackheads! I'll buy some! Lol!
sneef
I'm hesitant to sell them, especially the mini figs.
ThrowTheAccountAway
This is literally like the "we buy your gold" scams that used to pop up everywhere. I think we are seeing the beginning of a new era.
MoxRavager
Most reselling services like this have to buy cheap. When all is done their profit margin is probably less than you think.
MediaMuerte
They gotta put in a lot of labor and have enough buyers.
theNameChecker
Honestly fully a scam
teknoman117
One of these days I'm going to go through my tubs of Legos and actually sort them, maybe even try to put them back in their original sets...
woodenbadger
My kids have maybe 50ish decent sized sets, most of which are apart. We tried a giant sort a couple of years back. It's a shit ton of work.
IMNOTSUREHOWALLTHISWORKS
They go for about $12-15 / lb on ebay.
replaybricks
Bravo to anyone who can buy/sell at that price on a bigger scale!
Gherkincensed
What price do you sell at? And where can people buy from you?
LickLickLickMyBalls2
They won't sell to you, just bulk wholesale to companies. Explained in another comment
IReactToCommentsInMemesAndGifs
Thank you!
thespottedbunny
you totally should! but i think for people who have no use for legos this is a pretty nifty alternative to just goodwill
thisisnitmyusername
If by nifty you mean pays less than eBay would then yes
128Gigabytes
True but its also a bit easier / faster than ebay, if you are just looking to dump off your bricks it seems like a good idea.
thespottedbunny
that's true, direct to consumer is always the best bang for your buck
coolmcdude
I sold all my legos to a friend back when I was a teen for $100. Now I'm an adult with two boys and 0 legos. So much regret. KEEP YOUR LEGOS

My brother gave his legos to our cousin who lives 12 hours away and now I'm having to buy all these sets for my son

GreaterDog
I've started buying large lots on ebay for $3.5-4.5/lb. Got some amazing gems in some, too -- several Mindstorms microprocessors and remotes

Yep! You can get far more for your Lego if you put in some legwork and it shows.

Yeah but selling each brick on eBay would net you triple and take 3 years. LEGOS hold value. org crime converts cash to LEGO in MN
ryguy12290
$64 for 20lbs
HowAboutThatUpdog
If you don't use them anymore, that's good. I think that's what this is more for, not stuff you really want
Tornadotaco
You would get so much more on ebay, Craigslist, yard sale, etc. though
awesock
It would be a pain in the ass tho. The service is the lack of hassle
Tornadotaco
Craigslist is pretty easy. Picture. Accept payment. Hand box.
fapjacks
Welp. You'd be right!
replaybricks
That's what you would expect, but we actually beat the price for most auction sites! Especially if you consider we cover shipping + 0 fees
TheAngryBang
Full sets will prolly always beat your price. But for bulk buy i see your point
Youreprobablylyingoronlythinkingofyourself
Qualified source?
CNAshel
LUG member and collector: there's basically no way you can't beat $3/lb locally unless you live somewhere REALLY off the grid.
CNAshel
And if you're looking at online, it can go way up unless you have nothing but complete garbage.
MrParticleboard
Do y'all sell at reasonable prices too?
ILikeCharmanderOk
Looked on their website, couldn't find anything to buy : ( I want discounted legos
GarrettStopMotion
I bet they turn around and sell it for the actual value, and make bank. Lego people are worth average around 3$ per figure.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Good marketing strategy... I guess...
GarrettStopMotion
Still it takes the joy away from kids who actually want to play with the toys. Wont know the joy of finding garage sale legos anymore
kittenkatt
It was worked out above for about $12-15/ lb on eBay and $3/lb for you guys. Is that wrong? Do you have a standard per pound payout?
replaybricks
By all means, if you can find a better deal online - go for it! But our offer is always on the table, with no fees or shipping costs :-)
kittenkatt
I was trying to ascertain if that statement was correct, or hyperbole. Can you please let me know which is accurate?
OfficialSponsor
They've copy and pasted that exact answer in another comment
ILikeCharmanderOk
Their service is probably for the busy (or lazy) who want to get rid of their lego quickly and easily but don't care too much about the $.
MintMission
It's not advantageous for them to confirm that,
