| so I am in a bit of a bind, and if this isn't the right place to put it,
im sorry, feel free to delete it:
I have so many sets, and alot of the sets I own are pieced out and are all separated
by color save for the ones I put on the store. So whats better in the long run
to sell: play the game of needle in the haystack and find the pieces, or sell
the pieces individually?

If you’re looking to be around for a while and not necessarily get rid of your
sets I’d recommend parting them out. Doing this will increase your item/lot count
and should get you more orders/feedback

you mentioned the long run so if you are planning to sell for the foreseeable
future and plan to get more inventory often then parting them out is better.
usually its worth more but it can taker longer to sell unless you have lots of
other parts for sale (10,000+ lots)

If time is money, then the amount of time to put all the pieces back together
means you would be losing in the long run. Uploading parts is a great way to
round out your store and increase orders.

A lot depends on the value of the completed sets. Many sets are not worth much
and are not in high demand. If you have sets that ARE valuable, then the time
taken to piece them back together may be well worth it -- and you will have
the fun of building them one more time -- which is the whole point of LEGO
to begin with.
Also, if many of the needed pieces are lost, the costs to purchase the missing
pieces may not be worth it for cheap sets, but may be well worth it for high-value
sets.
A lot also comes down to the minifigs -- used sets without the proper minifigs
and accessories are not worth much. So if you were good to your minifigs and
did not chew them, paint them, or dismember them, you may be off to a good start.
Having to re-purchase minifigs to complete an old set can break the bank if
the minifigs are now expensive.
If you time is more valuable doing other things, then taking the time to rebuild
old sets may not be worth it. If your time is free time, then go ahead and build
your old sets one more time so you can sell them.
In the end, if you are not having FUN, then you may be doing it wrong

Research the sets you think you have. If they are valuable as a complete set,
then complete them. Check you have the minifigures, and if you can get a reasonable
price for those alone, don't bother with the set. Check if the sets have
any valuable parts. If they do, pick them out. Then either sort the rest or sell
it as mixed bulk.
