    Default best way of transporting Lego?

    i recently brought my lego to sell and found that some pieces may escape their boxes. how can i stop this from happening and selling people incomplete sets because pieces have fallen out into the bag?

    well you could tape the boxes in the inside to seal out any holes then once youve checked that the pieces are complete for the figures put it in ziplock bags in the box that way they dont fall out.

    The sealable lunch bags seem to be the packaging of choice for lego sellers. I think the majority of lego collectors dont really care about the box.

    Well if its a box for one of the great classics, such as say: 6285 Black Seas Barracuda then its probably worth keeping.

    You can still do the sealable plastic bag option, you just seal up all the parts and chuck the bags inside the box. It's easier to check if all the bags are still inside the box than scouring the bottom of your bag for little parts.

    Sellability factors (to me anyway) are ranked as such:
    Completeness>Condition of Parts>Shipping Cost>Instructions>Box
