Final Thoughts

This flip highlights how low-risk LEGO sourcing on Vinted can still deliver strong percentage returns. Buying sealed, licensed Technic sets at the right price leaves plenty of margin even with conservative resale targets. Stack two or three of these a week and the numbers add up fast.

This is discipline over hype. Small buys, clean exits, repeatable system. LEGO may be plastic, but the profits are real.
