What platforms can I export to?

Whatnot, eBay, BrickLink, Shopify, BrickStore, and generic CSV. Each export is formatted specifically for that platform so you can bulk upload immediately.

Is brick'em just for minifigures?

No. brick'em identifies both minifigures and individual parts. The parts scanner identifies pieces by color and looks up prices per variant.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel or downgrade from your settings page. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no questions asked.

I already have a system that works. Why switch?

If your current process handles 200+ figures a week without eating your weekends, keep it. But if you're spending hours on manual lookups, brick'em does the same work in minutes. Most sellers try the 14-day free trial and never go back.

Most Accurate Way to Price LEGO Minifigures

You looked up your minifigure on eBay and saw prices ranging from $5 to $45. Same figure. Same search. Wildly different numbers. Which one is right?

Why Asking Prices Don't Matter

The biggest mistake new sellers make: they search eBay, see a listing at $40, and assume their figure is worth $40. That's an asking price. What matters is what people actually pay. The gap between asking and sold prices is routinely 2x to 5x.

The Gold Standard: BrickLink 6-Month Average

BrickLink's price guide is the single most reliable data source for minifigure values.

New vs Used: Always check both columns.
Average vs Median: The median is often more reliable for a typical sale.
6-Month Window: Recent enough to reflect current demand, long enough to smooth out spikes.

eBay Completed Listings

Search your figure, filter by "Sold Items." eBay data is messier but tells you what casual buyers will pay right now. Use it as a "market temperature" check.

The Variant Trap

There are over 30 Darth Vader variants on BrickLink. Some worth $5. Some worth $50+. Always price by the exact BrickLink catalog ID, never by character name.

Condition Adjustment

Used condition sells for 20-50% less than new. The gap is bigger on higher-value figs. Be honest about condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do BrickLink prices change?

Continuously as new sales happen. For most figures, checking once a month is enough.

Should I price differently for BrickLink vs eBay?

Yes. eBay buyers are less informed, so you can sometimes get 10-20% more. But factor in eBay's higher fees (~13%).

Do accessories affect minifigure prices?

Absolutely. Some unique accessories account for 20-30% of total value.
