I loved lego as a kid and I now have an embarrassingly large pile of bricks collecting dust at my parents' house. I don't quite know what to do with them. in theory, they're worth a decent chunk of change. looking at used sets on ebay, I'd estimate it's somewhere in the four figure range easily. trouble is they're all disassembled and jumbled together. I can't even find someone who would take a bag of random bricks for free, let alone the whole pile.

I got rid of my childhood legos when I was like 15 in a garage sale. The lego bucket was completely disorganized and it was easily the hottest commodity we had there- there was a woman who showed up 5 minutes early to buy it and the next 6 hours of garage sale we had people showing up a few times an hour asking about it from the ad.
Throw that up on Facebook marketplace or something and people will pay hundreds for it

good to know, I've just been trying and failing to give them away to friends with young children.
I probably ought to just donate them like the sibling posters suggest. it's not like I get any use out of them now, but psychologically it's kinda hard to think about just giving away something that was so important to me as a kid to someone I don't know and might not even meet.

Take them all to a local children's hospital and drop them off if they embarrass you. Sell them on eBay by the kilo/pound if they embarrass you but you want the money in exchange for them.
