If you are a fan of LEGO, and if you’re a MOC builder specifically, you need to know about Bricklink.  Bricklink is a place where LEGO fans around the world can buy and sell LEGO. The beautiful part is you can buy and sell parts, or complete sets.  It is the single best way to find the parts you need for that MOC you’ve been working on.

Bricklink connects LEGO fans around the world

Have pieces you have no use for in your own creations?  Sell them on Bricklink!  The main difference between Bricklink and eBay is that Bricklink is not an auction site.  You set the price you are willing to see for, and your items stay listed until purchased.  The service is absolutely free for buyers, and sellers are only charged a small percentage on what they sell.

It’s a win-win for everyone!

I have used Bricklink personally for years, and have never had a bad experience.  Like eBay, and other similar sites, Bricklink offers a rating system so you can get a sense of the person you are dealing with.

if you haven’t checked it out, you really should.  It’s a great way to complete projects, and clear out your unused LEGO.

Several weeks ago, news broke that Bricklink was sold to new owners.  It remains to be seen what changes, if any, will be made to the site.  If the new owners are smart, they’ll leave the cost structure alone, and make their money on volume.  And hopefully modernize the user interface.

Are you a Bricklink user?  What do you think of the website?  What do you think of the sale?
