Hi guys, this is my first time in this part of Seibertron so be nice to me!

I don't collect anything but TFs but I still have a lot of Lego left over from my childhood, which I now wish to sell. I have a few complete space kits from the late 70s or early 80s but right now I mostly want to get rid of all the spare bricks etc. They're all organised and I have a potential buyer lined up (so don't try and stiff me and offer to buy it all for a dollar! *joke*) but I don't know what this stuff is worth. Could you guys please give me some advice on how much the stuff in each INDIVIDUAL photo is worth?

Pfff... It's going to be hard to put a value on each photograph.
The site you want to check out is most probably Bricklink.com: the best online marketplace for buying and selling Lego parts, which has pricing info on every type piece of Lego ever made. Be warned, it is not a very user-friendly site though. The forum there might be another way to have these lots appraised.

The parts you are showing all look to be used, with some yellowing and some scratching, so the total value will not be high. Personally, I'd say the highest single part value is in the red Lego storage cases, which are currently priced at 6 to 10 EUR.

The chain links in the 10th picture down are also valuable, especially in the reasonably large quantity you seem to own (around 0.10 - 0.20 EUR a piece). Of interest to Lego fans (=value) would also be the printed road signs, and the old style minifigures (no arms, unprinted head).

Also handy to know is that a couple of years ago, Lego changed a couple of colors, specifically gray and brown. The light gray pieces you have are now known as old light gray. Due to those colors not being produced anymore, they are getting rare and actively sought out (although other people try to avoid using these out-dated colours).

Thanks! I did have a look at Bricklink when I posted this thread and it certainly didn't look user friendly!

Unless you have some rare specific set pieces, it's about 20$ per pound.
I didn't see any rare pieces in there. Better off posting the lot and how many lbs on ebay.
