Once there is another "lot" listing, I don't think that you can combine them
(I couldn't find anything). I know when you part a set out you can use that
if it finds an existing lot to combine them together, but you'll have to
track the parts at that time which for me was just as annoying.
What I've done is part the set out to the stock room and then when I'm
ready to move everything to my inventory, promote it all at once. This creates
duplicates, but if you use your inventory menu, search for "non-unique" items
and you will see only the duplicates. You can then manually add the lots together
and delete the dups. It's still kind of annoying, but at least you can clean
up your lots.

| | Hi everyone,
This is my first post on here, so apologies if I get the format wrong.
I recently won a large lot of loose Lego at auction, (for too much money), and
have been working my way sorting through it all.
What hooked me was that it came with 30+ instruction sheets, all from the late
80's and early 90's, plus the box for 6542 Launch and Load and 6286 Pirate
Schooner.
Having now spent a couple of surprisingly enjoyable weeks cleaning and picking
out bits, I have 21 near complete sets (minus any Minifigures), but also normally
missing a couple of special pieces.
My question is - What should I do with it now?!
should I (A) looking to buy all of the missing parts (currently 215, inc. minifigs
across 21 sets) to complete the set and sell as 100% complete.
Overall it seems that I need to spend 25-35% of the set selling price to complete.
Or (B) part out and save myself the time of buying the parts to sell them on?
Part of me feels that it would be nice to complete them, but it will also take
a lot longer to get things up and running.
Note - given their age there are also a fair few discoloured parts which I would
want to de-yellow before selling.
All lot of the left over basic part will just join my son's collection.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
P.S. Not sure what happened to the photos flipping!

I'm currently putting together some sets which need a few parts to complete.
Going by the instructions, you have a few nice ones.
You've obviously already checked the prices and weighed up your profit margin
but are those percentages of your intial cost or the selling price?
It's also worth checking how often the sets sell. In my case, that's
just in the UK for now.
Consider whether you want to sell them quickly or if you're happy to sit
on them for longer to get a better price. If you check your sets that other sellers
have in their stores, you can see when they listed them. Ebay, Gumtree, Facebook,
etc. is better for a quick sale but normally at a lower price.
I know some sellers use Ebay for complete sets and their BL store for parts.
I do when the selling fees are £1.
For example, one of my sets has only sold once on here in the UK in the last
6 months but I've seen it go several times on Ebay for what I consider good
prices.
I've freshened-up some yellowed parts, but as many people will tell you,
they discolour again and sometimes quickly, so I won't sell them. Also, even
though older sets/parts would be expected to show signs of wear, everyone has
a different idea of what's acceptable.
That's just my way of thinking but I hope it's of some help.

25-35% seems a bit high to me. I don't have a good rule of thumb because
I hardly sell any sets, but it just seems high. Are there any sets where the
cost needed to complete is a bit lower than that? Maybe focus on completing those
together with the sets for which you have boxes.

This request will not be accepted.
The proper procedure to add a stickered Counterpart to BrickLink and a set inventory
is as follows:
(1) Add the stickered part to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=P
Help on adding an item to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=71
(2) Add an image to the BrickLink catalog for the stickered part:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P
Help on adding an image to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87
(3) Fill out an Inventory Change Request to add the stickered part to the set
inventory after it is approved by a Catalog Associate or Catalog Administrator:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S

Hmmmm, not necessarily -- light grey and light bluish grey are considerably
more difficult to tell apart than dark grey and dark bluish grey
