Brickpicker.com also provides tools for quoting sets with the sales volumes recorded in recent months, the evolution of the average resale price on the internet, the ranking of best sellers on eBay, etc ...

The blog part offers some interesting articles on storage methods for example, on the reasons for insuring your collection against theft / fire / flood / attack of Godzilla, or on how to generate substantial profits from end-of-life ranges .
