Minifigures are categorized by the set they appear in.

it's why
 
Minifig No: col016  Name: Cowboy, Series 1 (Minifigure Only without Stand and Accessories)
* 
col016 (Inv) Cowboy, Series 1 (Minifigure Only without Stand and Accessories)
Minifigures: Collectible Minifigures: Series 1 Minifigures
isn't under cowboy

she is a collectible minifigure. Why is she not shown with the Indians as a
minifigure? I had to find her by looking for her torso.

If I were callous, I’d say:  “Get more stuff to sell.  Next!”

But I’m not, so:
You may search the forums, this question comes quite often, in different forms,
but the gist is there: have the items people want, and enough of them, in both
quantity and types, especially if they are common items.

I somewhat disagree. My store has never exceeded the 4,500 parts and I've
received 49 orders within 4-5 months. I sold 2-3 sets and a very small number
of figs as well. Most of my parts were relatively common even though I did place
some pretty rare parts a few times.

Right now Bricklink is as slow as it will ever be. I haven't gotten an order
in almost 2 months even though I keep stocking. I'll probably post about
this later on but just keep stocking. When August-September comes around, sales
should pick up, hopefully. Take care, - SB

For one, with a small store such as yours you should probably price your items
cheaper. Use the "quantity average" over six months, for example, instead of
"average" (the former is weighted and the latter isn't).

My advise : adjust some of your store terms:
- REMOVE "I am not resposible for orders damaged in shipping" ... You should
at least feel responsible if not do everything you can when something goes wrong.
Whether or not it's a legal obligation in your country/area.
- REQUIRE Instant payments. So REMOVE "Payment due within 3 days."
As a consequence, you can REMOVE "Please be aware I file nonpayment complaints
for buyers who do not pay."
- Have more stock and make as much noise as you can.

Best regards

From one plastic cat to another: get more stock. There are official individual
Lego sets with more parts than your entire store. Minifigs sell best, and you
only have 2 figs. You need to make a much larger initial investment and be prepared
to stay in the red for awhile as you build up your stock. As a buyer with hundreds
and hundreds of orders, I've virtually never bought from a store with fewer
than 25,000 parts, because I can always find all those same parts plus more at
a bigger store.

Hi, Has anyone ever come across this single book version set of instructions
for 75021 republic gunship?
I can only find the two book entry on bricklink/rebrickable and found no other
references on the web. I also have the two book version and am aware of the US/European
versions which this is neither,
Just wondering if this is a rare/early version
Book no.s 6086637 128282-D0001
Any info greatly appreciated thanks

You could list them as a custom item or a good description of what it is under
its proper listing. There's a call for everything Lego - sometimes it takes
a long time but everything will go eventually.

  Hi all.
I 've now (after buying a few missing parts) got complete 10188 set, boxed
with instructions and all it's internal boxes.
I'm a bit miffed I can't find any resources allowing me to recreate the
original boxes - as in which pieces go in Boxes 1 - 4 (an the internal bags etc.)
Does anyone know of anywhere were this information might be held ?

Maybe an unboxing video on youtube? I have a sealed one for sale and didn't
even know that there are multiple boxes inside.

Also, if there is string ran through the sails do you leave it tied off to whatever
pieces they are tied to when you wash the sails? Or untie the string first?
