Buying sets in large quantities and then selling the parts from those sets is very popular by many BrickLink sellers. This work is called parting out a set. Set inventories which contain info on what minifigures and parts a set consists of allow a seller to enter a set number and the quantity of the sets they have on the Part out a Set into My Inventory screen and is given an editable list of parts which that set contains ready to be uploaded into the seller's inventory. |
How it Works: |
The following is an explanation on all the options available in this function:
Enter the set number along with other optional information and click the submit button. You will be taken to an edit screen showing all parts and minifigures in that set. All items can be edited or removed from this upload. After you have edited all items in that upload, click on the submit button and your items will be taken into a verification screen ready to be uploaded into your inventory.

How to Undo/Reverse a Part Out: |
If you part out a wrong set into your inventory or wanted list and wish to undo, you can part out a negative quantity (of the quantity of a set you parted out) of a set into your inventory. This will remove the items in that set from your inventory or decrease quantities of items from that set in your inventory if the items were consolidated into existing items in your inventory in the original part-out. |
Note: |
Please be aware that the information which parts in which colors and which minifigures a certain set consists of must be entered into the catalog database before it can be used by the seller in this functionality. Inventorying sets and minifigures is a community effort to which you can also contribute. For more information on that, please visit the Inventories page. |
