How It Works
Enter your cost
Type what you paid for the lot — whether it was from a garage sale, Facebook Marketplace, thrift store, or anywhere else.
Search and add items
Search for minifigures by name. Each item shows its current market price based on BrickLink sales averages. Add as many items as you found in the lot.
See your profit instantly
The calculator shows the total estimated value of your haul, your profit, and your margin percentage. Know immediately if you scored a deal or overpaid.
Why Calculate Haul Profit Before Buying?
Every LEGO reseller knows the feeling: you spot a bulk lot on Marketplace for $80 and your gut says it's a deal. But is it? Without knowing the actual market value of what's in the lot, you're gambling. The haul profit calculator lets you do the math before you commit, not after.
Professional resellers use this workflow constantly. You identify the valuable items in a lot listing photo, look up their prices, add up the value, and compare it to the asking price. If the total value is 2-3x the asking price, it's worth pursuing. Below 1.5x? The margin probably isn't worth the time to part it out.
All prices in this calculator come from real BrickLink completed sales data — six-month rolling averages of what buyers actually paid. These are used prices, which is what most lot contents will be. Keep in mind that parting out takes time: you need to photograph, list, store, and ship each item. A healthy margin accounts for that labor.
Tips for Evaluating LEGO Lots
Focus on the high-value items first. Most bulk lots contain a handful of figures worth $10-50+ and dozens of commons worth $1-3. The valuable ones determine whether the deal is profitable. If the top 3-5 items alone cover your purchase cost, everything else is pure profit.
Don't forget platform fees. If you're selling on eBay (12.9% + shipping), BrickLink (3-5% + PayPal), or Whatnot (9.5%), subtract those from your estimated value. A lot that looks profitable at face value might break even after fees and shipping costs. The margin percentage shown here is before selling fees.
