Part Out Value: buy or pass

Evaluate a set’s part-out value before you buy.

The Part Out Value tool calculates the estimated value of all the parts in a LEGO set if sold individually.

BrickLink API Required

This tool requires BrickLink API credentials. If not configured, a warning banner will appear at the top with a link to Settings. The Calculate button will be disabled until credentials are added.

  • Search for any LEGO set by number to see its part-out value based on current market prices.
  • Compare the part-out value against the set's retail or second-hand price to decide if it's worth parting out.
  • After calculating, a report card grades the set (A–F) with a verdict: Strong Part-Out, Consider, or Skip.
  • The report uses five factors: value ratio, demand (90-day sales), new listing opportunity, low-stock gaps, and overstock/dead-stock risk. Dead stock means for-sale on-hand with no sales in the last 180 days.
  • The parts table shows sold quantities (30d/90d), for-sale on-hand, per-lot status, and a warning when parting out would exceed your max stock target.

Part-Out Analysis Settings

Customize thresholds in Settings → Part-Out Analysis:

  • Consider value ratio — default 200% of purchase cost.
  • Target stock multiplier — default 1× units sold in 30 days (low stock when below).
  • Max stock multiplier — default 3× sold (30d); parts above this are overstock.
