WeBuyBricks: online buying and selling of LEGO sets and pieces

WeBuyBricks is a company based in Rossendale, Lancashire (United Kingdom), dedicated to buying and selling genuine LEGO sets and bricks. Its activity is aimed both at those who want to get rid of an accumulated collection and at those looking for retired or hard-to-find models. The company presents itself as a specialist in the second-hand LEGO market and operates exclusively through its online platform.

How selling works

The selling process is divided into four steps. First, the user chooses whether to sell sets or loose bricks: sets are identified individually by name or set number, while loose pieces are valued by weight. Next, the platform issues an instant cash offer after confirming the condition of the items. If the seller accepts, they can send the material free of charge, either at a drop-off point with a prepaid label or through free home collection. Once the items are received and checked, payment is made by bank transfer or PayPal, according to the company, the next day.

Complete collections and pieces by weight

The company accepts entire collections, even when sets and pieces have become mixed together over time. Identifiable sets are added one by one to receive an offer for each one, and the remaining loose or mixed bricks are valued by weight. Everything is grouped into the same order, so the seller can get rid of the complete collection in a single transaction. WeBuyBricks points out that selling by individual sets usually yields a higher price than selling by weight.

What it buys and what it sells

The company buys used sets of various types, including built, dismantled and incomplete ones. Among its preferred themes it cites Star Wars, Harry Potter, Technic and Marvel. On the selling side, it offers second-hand sets that may include retired and hard-to-find models. Each product is checked before being put up for sale and the listings detail what each lot includes, such as the box, instructions and general condition. The company stresses that it only sells genuine LEGO products.

Services and conditions for the seller

Environmental approach

The company justifies its activity on the durability of LEGO plastic, which cannot currently be recycled and ends up in landfill if discarded. Therefore, it promotes the reuse of pieces by giving them a second life among new builders. According to its own presentation, even bricks that cannot be resold can be reused or recycled.
