| Hi everyone, I recently, last Friday, started selling my loose Lego pieces in
my store. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I received about 20 orders in a few
hours. I was so inundated with orders that I had to temporarily close the store
to process the orders. I am just now sending out the last two. I am a temporary
store, as my kids don't want to inherit any Lego's. I was so frazzled
doing this that I now have respect for those that do this as a business. Good
work to all those that have stores!!

| It can be frantic when you first open/re-open with larger stocks.
The first few days can force you to temporarily close so that you avoid disappointing
customers with long delays.
Had to do this about three times when I re-opened a month or so ago.
Normally slows a little after the first two weeks unless you are a huge store
and then hopefully becomes a manageable steady flow of orders which you can cope
with.
My experience anyway.

Completely understandable to most vendors here, your experience. It does get
easier over time though, as you learn further and adapt/adjust. May be hard for
you to believe just now, but there is a point when it becomes enjoyable (at least
far less stressful) even for the casual seller like yourself, Bill.
Also keep in mind, the process of selling used you've been initiated with,
is more time consuming than that of the new-set-partout operation some of us
have only known. In other words, it's folks such you that have my respect
