Editorial Standards
BrickThrift is an independent guide to finding and buying LEGO on the second-hand market. Our articles and product pages are published by the BrickThrift editorial desk. This page explains how we work, so you know exactly what's behind what you read.
Editorial independence
We don't accept payment to feature, rank, or recommend any product. We earn affiliate commissions when you buy through our links to eBay (see our affiliate disclosure), but that never changes a product's price, its position in our listings, or what we say about it. Our guidance is the same whether or not a click earns us anything.
How we source products
Listings come directly from eBay's official Browse API, limited to LEGO categories, and are sorted so the newest appear first. Prices, condition, and availability are set by individual eBay sellers — not by us — and can change at any time. Product images are served through our own domain for speed and privacy; we don't permanently host eBay's images. Because details change quickly, we always recommend confirming the current price, condition, and completeness on eBay before you buy.
How we research our guides
Our buying guides are written to be genuinely useful first — people-first, not search-engine-first. They're grounded in the real listing data in our catalog and in publicly verifiable information, and they aim to give concrete, checkable advice (how to confirm a set is complete, how to compare conditions, what affects resale value) rather than hype. We avoid promising specific prices or availability, because those move.
Accuracy and corrections
We work to keep information accurate, but the second-hand market is fast-moving and seller-reported, so errors and stale prices happen. If you spot something wrong, let us know via our about page and we'll review and correct it.
