You can't have a Country, Region or even with/without VAT price guide; as
BrickLink doesn't provide this information as is.

The price guide currency is the same as your store currency, and for buyer accounts
it is always USD. So you have to upgrade your account to be able to change it.

My Price guide is in EURO and I'm no seller.

Sorry I should have been more clear about this.

Yes, as a buyer you can change the currency for the normal price guide, but not
for the part out feature (and I think the question here was about that option
- see attached images).

No, I - as a buyer only - see prices in EUR.
Both being logged in and not being logged in.

I believe you are right in that when you do have a shop, you can only see the
currency configured for your shop.

Do any UK sellers know if you can bulk adjust stock in Brickstore to reflect
the UK 6th month ave. I've got it close but think it is still pulling in

The other useful thing after doing that is to use the "group by currency" on
the price guide page. That allows you to split GBP transactions from USD, EUR,
and all other currencies. This gives you a good idea of what items sold for in
the UK, as most GBP transactions will be from UK sellers. It's not perfect,
but at least gives some idea about regional prices.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea where would be a good place to try
and sell it? I’m not in a massive rush so happy to wait for the right buyer to
come along.

  Hi all, I recently discovered a vintage Lego 1589 set in my loft. It seems to

I think you'd have to sell it as used, as there is not really proof that
it is new if it has been opened, even though the stickers have not been applied.
There is another one in the UK for sale here at £270 with stickers applied. I
reckon you could stick it on ebay as an auction starting at probably £350 and
see where it goes from there, mentioning it is opened but parts look immaculate
and the sticker sheet is unused. I'd list it as used but say it looks like
new in the description. You'll have an issue that if you list as new as the
condition and someone gets it and complains that it has been opened. You might
get away with starting at £500 but a lower start price is likely to get people
interested.

Alternatively you could put a higher price as a buy it now and allow offers and
see if you get any.

But demand might not be there at a high price, given the part out value is quite
low (someone wanting the parts (without stickers) to build the set could buy
them for about £50). The only one that has sold here in six months was (likely)
from a Hungarian seller. You need to find a collector that will appreciate and
more importantly pay for the unused sticker sheet, box and instructions. There
are people that will, if you can find them!

  The price guide suck in my opinion. How do you use it to value a set with defects
or was the AVG price had all defected sets and yours was not? Look at the current
listings.


Price guide is like the Argus for automobile.

It doesn't mean ANYTHING but it's very helpful.

Hoping it helps - even if I doubt it does

  Hello guys,

Can someone check this store 613 Bricks (https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=613)
The prices are insanely high and it will break the purpose of the avg prices.
Example:
Queen Anne's Revenge
Lot ID: 288191095 Item No: 4195-1
Price:
US $64,990.00
(~EUR 59,700.8515)

Please investigate.

Thanks.

I never used the average price function. I pulled up what was listed and priced
accordingly. Price depended on whether I wanted to be the lowest price and sell
quickly or somewhere in the middle if I wanted to reply on my reputionation and
feedback and no rush to sell.

100 items are sold for $1.00
1 item is sold for $100.00
Mean or Average = $1.98, which is 200% of the expected and actual meaningful
average.
Let's say I use this for setting my selling price. I will be the most expensive
one on BrickLink (except for the $100.00 one of course), but I will believe I'm
offering at the average price, thinking I offer at a competitive price.

It is obviously fake data, such wide variations in sold data are highly unlikely.
Especially as these are sold prices, they are meaningful. That someone paid $100
presumably means it was a genuine sale. Of course we don't know what was
correct, was it a seller pricing high and getting a buyer willing to pay 100x
too much (unlikely), or was it a seller error, listing 100 at $1 instead of 1
at $100. The latter would likely be snapped up instantly.

This made up data shows one thing though - know what you sell. If you had a $100
item and someone else messed up and listed it as 100 at $1, would you blindly
follow their error price because that is what the biased average is, or would
you check sales data? Either way the $1 or $2 average should seem way off if
you understood the value of the item.

You won't be the only one selling at that price. Why would you be the only
person on bricklink that uses the average sold price? If you are, they should
remove the ability to populate with price guide data, as it is not being used
by any other seller. More likely, many other people will be listing at the same
average.

  As I mentioned before, the correct way for it's intended purpose would
be to exclude the lowest and highest 10% of the prices. This would filter out
the extremes (both downwards and upwards). A new calculated variable "Avg. Price
Percentile (10th-90th)" could be introduced.

Why exclude the extreme 10%, what is correct about that? Why not 2%, 5%, 16.67%
or 49%?
The intended purpose is to report the mean, which is what it does.

I don't agree. The mathematical value is indeed the mean (I think, English
is not my native language). However, I do think the intended purpose was not
to give the mean, but to give an indication to both buyer and seller what a realistic,
average price is for which an item has been sold and is on sale now. I can't
be sure, I wasn't there when it was discussed. As long as extremes are in
that equation, the meaning behind that value has lost its purpose.

Do note I didn't say to change the value of the "Average" variable. It should
remain the mathematical correct one. But instead introduce a new one ("X Percentile
Average", or what you want to call) that actually has a better meaning to it's
value. When you ask what's correct about that: it is an statistically correct
and commonly used way to filter out extreme values polluting the meaning or trend
value. It's also referred to as "removing outliers".
https://www.statology.org/remove-outliers/
https://statisticsbyjim.com/basics/remove-outliers/

On the exact percentage: could be 1%, 2%, 10%. Or it could be filter out the
bottom 3 and top 3 values. Whatever would be decided (I'm not statisticus),
it would give me a better meaning to some of the values.

None of that is better, just different. There is usually a very important thing
if you remove data from any analysis because you believe it doesn't fit -
you report what you remove and why, and still report the true mean before you
bias it by removing data.
Filtering out things like the bottom and top three results is not a good idea.
For items where many sales are made, it makes little to no difference.

100 items are sold for $1.00
1 item is sold for $100.00
Mean or Average = $1.98, which is 200% of the expected and actual meaningful
average.
Let's say I use this for setting my selling price. I will be the most expensive
one on BrickLink (except for the $100.00 one of course), but I will believe I'm
offering at the average price, thinking I offer at a competitive price.

I understand you will never even consider this, but for me the average value
has no purpose this way, as I can't use it for deciding if an offered price
is actually competitive or not. Without of course checking item per item, by
manual effort.

Where
  only a few sales are made, it can have a huge effect. For example, if 10 sales
are made, you throw away 60% of your data. If just 7, you are taking the median.
For six or fewer sales, you throw away all the data.

Why 60% is thrown away? As I said, the exact formula should be well thought.
I could be top/bottom 10%, so for 10 sales only 20% is thrown away. And even
then, it shouldn't always be that case, but only for situation where there
is a very large deviation at the bottom and top prices.

Of course the algorithm needs to be a bit more intelligent/smart, as to decide
when to drop which outliers. Again, I'm not a statisticus, but I'm sure
there are intelligent formulas that cover these problems to deliver actual usable
data.

Let's say an item is sold 10 times for 1.00 dollar but once for 10 dollars.
The current (mathematical correct) average would be 9.90$ (9x 1.00$ + 1x 10.00$
= 99.00$ / 10 items).

Better would be to exclude the extremes, which would result in an average of
1.00$ as the sale for 10.00$ is omitted.

Your calculation is wrong. 9x1 + 10 = 19, not 99. The average would be $1.90.

Yes you could exclude the high value, but why is that better? You have excluded
useful data. Those 9 $1 sales could all be from the same seller that undervalued
the item, or purposely manipulated the price with fake sales.

  There's two lists on the price guide, "sold" items and "for sale" items.
So while these listing don't mess up the "sold" average, they greatly change
the "for sale" average (though I don't ever look at that anyways).

For items that aren't sold that much (and have a larger number of items in
the "for sale" as in the "sold" category), you often need to rely on the "for
sale" average price.
And even for the "sold" values, they sometimes include extremely low or high
values. That's of course fine, but it makes the mathematical average useless
when it's being used to base your own price upon.

Let's say an item is sold 10 times for 1.00 dollar but once for 10 dollars.
The current (mathematical correct) average would be 9.90$ (9x 1.00$ + 1x 10.00$
= 99.00$ / 10 items).

Better would be to exclude the extremes, which would result in an average of
1.00$ as the sale for 10.00$ is omitted.

I agree with your position of excluding outliers from the calculation, but the
engineer in my is going to drive me mad until I correct that math.

in that example, 10$ for one item + $10 for another ten at a buck a piece = $20/11,
for an average of $1.81.

Correct.
There have been (and will be) numerous discussions on how "Average Price" is
calculated. Currently, it's the mathematical correct way.

As I mentioned before, the correct way for it's intended purpose would
be to exclude the lowest and highest 10% of the prices. This would filter out

Why exclude the extreme 10%, what is correct about that? Why not 2%, 5%, 16.67%
or 49%?
The intended purpose is to report the mean, which is what it does.

  There's two lists on the price guide, "sold" items and "for sale" items.
So while these listing don't mess up the "sold" average, they greatly change
the "for sale" average (though I don't ever look at that anyways).

For items that aren't sold that much (and have a larger number of items in
the "for sale" as in the "sold" category), you often need to rely on the "for
sale" average price.
And even for the "sold" values, they sometimes include extremely low or high
values. That's of course fine, but it makes the mathematical average useless
when it's being used to base your own price upon.

Let's say an item is sold 10 times for 1.00 dollar but once for 10 dollars.
The current (mathematical correct) average would be 9.90$ (9x 1.00$ + 1x 10.00$
= 99.00$ / 10 items).

Better would be to exclude the extremes, which would result in an average of
1.00$ as the sale for 10.00$ is omitted.

The price guide only takes into account sold sets, and as nobody in their right
mind would buy these, it doesn't affect the average.

Sadler_bricks

Correct.
There have been (and will be) numerous discussions on how "Average Price" is
calculated. Currently, it's the mathematical correct way.

As I mentioned before, the correct way for it's intended purpose would
be to exclude the lowest and highest 10% of the prices. This would filter out
the extremes (both downwards and upwards). A new calculated variable "Avg. Price
Percentile (10th-90th)" could be introduced.

Nothing else to do. It's probably an error like LeeGo73 mentioned. But if
not, he's free to price his items whatever he wants, no matter how ridiculous

If you look at all of their sets the prices are crazy high.

I was the kid who quit ballet because it interfered with watching Scooby Doo,
but not even I would pay $12k U.S. for one of the sets.

Hi all

I have found this brick in a used bulk lot. It is in good condition, only a small
flaw in the L. It seems like it could be a pretty rare piece. Anyone have an
idea of what it could sell for?

Thank you

If you can get your inventory into a .bsx file - brickstore will get you avg

  Hi everybody,

When adding parts manually from my Inventory (no part out), I used to adjust
quantity and pricing by quickly checking the Price Guide.

When I say quick, I mean I just clicked on the "Price" link and a pop up window
opened instantly, showing the Price Guide for that part. Then I closed the window
and adjusted my price. This was a 2 seconds procedure. I used that procedure
for several colors of the same part without leaving the page. Then I submitted
all these changes in one go. Nice and fast!

Today, for an unknown reason, the same link leads to another page showing the
complete Price Guide with all items for sale. This takes a loooong time to load.
For the most common parts, it can take up to 20 seconds to load!!! Yes, I might
have an old computer. But still.
Then, I have to come back to the previous Inventory page, which can take time
to load and at the top of the said page. Then I have to scroll down to find and
adjust the right color entry. That's for one color. If I have five entries
of the same part in various colors to adjust, I must repeat that process accordingly.

This is really time consuming (x10 at least), annoying, frustrating and painful.
I know there are other ways to adjust prices, but that's the way I used to
work for years and it was so easy. I can't think of any quicker way.

Please, just bring back the small pop up window... Please?

Thaks for reading my rant.

Frédéric

Check your inventory settings (My Store Settings Management - scroll down):

Wow! I didn't know that was now an option!!
My bad I stopped reading BL forum years ago.

Thanks a lot!

  Hey Bricklink community

I am considering opening a store to sell my unwanted sets I just don't have
room for.

My question is, what additional value does having the box add to the sale price,
and does it matter to a buyer if it has been flattened? Most of the boxes are
from purchases in the last 5 years.

Appreciate any comments.

Chris

It makes somewhere between very little difference and significant difference
depending on the set. For common used sets, the price between a boxed used and
unboxed used can be virtually nil. Whereas for a set that is easily put together
from existing parts, the box might be very valuable if the set was limited in
numbers.

Thanks for the responses, based on your advice I might check the market to see
the relative values closer to selling.

Hello,

Personally I would say most to have a $5-$10 extra, but if it is an expensive,
rare, or vintage set, the box may include an extra $50. That is my experience
on bricklink. Also, look at the listings for sale and see if any of them have
boxes, and if you find one, list it around the same price. I am a collector who
has boxes for every single (OK, i'm missing 1 or 2) Lego set I own.

Hope this helps!

room for.

My question is, what additional value does having the box add to the sale price,
and does it matter to a buyer if it has been flattened? Most of the boxes are
from purchases in the last 5 years.

Appreciate any comments.

Chris

No it is not. It is an argument for showing the distribution of recent sold prices.

  I woud like to see the last known sellingprice for an item, no matter how long

Now we can only see the sales from last 6 months and the items for sale.

But sometimes an item is no longer for sale and it has been more than 6 months
since a sale, I would still like to know what it was sold for.
Why? For my insurrance policy...


Is it an good idea to change it to what I suggest? How do I make it happen??

Without knowing the condition of the sold items I really dont see the point.
Why did one vintage set sell for 50 euro and another for 500?

  New member today, please be gentle if I've broken any guidelines. [The rules
mentioned I shouldn't post here about items I'm selling - but I'm
not selling them on here, just to a friend of a friend]

I'm afraid I am completely clueless on pricing for these; hoping to get a
guide here.
I have two in-store shelf displays - small ones, known as Boosters, which are
a built model with the retail box behind, in a clear plastic case, not the 3ft
or larger ones.
A friend of my partner wishes to buy them, so I'm just looking for a fair
price, passing them on to someone who will appreciate them.
One is City, the other Ninjago. Both are pristine, boxes only opened today to
take photos. They still have the protective film on, hence the slightly blurry
pictures.

The reason I have these is that I used to install them, by the hundred, to retailers.
The very last run I ever did, the retailer went bust, leaving me with these two
& nowhere to put them.

If anyone has any idea what I should ask for them, I'd be most grateful.
I'm in the UK, so appropriate pricing in £ would be helpful - otherwise any
ballpark figure & can translate for myself would be helpful.

I would say £35 for both as sets. No idea what one would charge for the display
case.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for your input. I was thinking around that price as well, but was unsure
how others would react to that. It's good to see that I am not alone.

This set is already in the Bricklink catalog, item number 66138. There is no
price history and I haven't been able to find a single instance on the web
of this set being for sale, from there my question to the community.

Kind Regards,

Martin.

Current price for the 6 items in the set in new condition is around the €300
mark, so what do members think would be an acceptable premium for the set as
originally sold?

Thanks,

Martin.


Hi Martin -

I would say you could start it at 500EUR and see if anyone bites. It is a very
lovely exclusive set, so I feel like it could be worth that. If it doesn't
sell at that price over a certain period of time that you decide upon, then lower
the price a little and wait a bit again to see if anyone buys it. Repeat this
process until it sells.

However, I am not a seller here, so some would say that I know nothing about
these subjects and should not post my opinions.

In any case, I hope my opinion can help you.

Cheers,
Randy

P.S. By the way, what is the set number on it? Is it in the BrickLink catalog?
If not, I would love to help you add it to the catalog.

You can look up each of the individual figures and use the 6-month average.
If you are including the case, there is a listing for that as well.

Depends if you’re the end collector or trying to resell. If you want to resell,
probably $20 or less to be worth your time. If you are the end buyer and you
actually want all those specific figs, maybe $40.

it no longer shows as pending so I guess it won't be updated anytime soon,
if ever. It's nearly a year out now.

I thought with Lego owning Brinklink these things would be done more efficiently.

is there a way to determine the part out price of a set without using the part
out section of the price guide? for example, set 71390 isn't in the part
out guide because some parts aren't in the reference catalog

Brickstore is the best!! The latest iteration is so useful to us that if BrickStore
was not free we would be willing to pay for it with no hesitation (they do have
a donate button on the support page on their website).

How big do you want to be?

Low prices keep stores small, higher prices grown variety and volume. One is
less money now, one is more money later These are generalities
of course.



There's no wrong answer.

You can just look at item sale history and compare to your own prices... If you
want more orders, lower your prices. If you want fewer orders and more profit
per order, raise them. There really is no "just right".

Hey mate,

I'm not going to get too much into the actual pricing as i don't live
in the USA.

However, i will say two things.

1. Some of your used prices are higher than your new prices. For example.

 
Part No: 3024  Name: Plate 1 x 1
* 
3024 Plate 1 x 1
Parts: Plate {Light Bluish Gray}

Thanks so much for this feedback, it is very helpful, with the consolidation
of lots, if i were to do this would the remarks on the pieces then be the same?
As sometimes the same part may be in two different bins as i use 4x6 bins which
inside have individually sorted 3x5 plastic bags full of parts. So for example,
i may have 1x1 plates in the bin "b11", but also in the bin "B24", if i were
to when, i add new parts hit the consolidate button, would the remarks then be
B11?

Thanks for all the help with this issue, NG
  New is 7 cents, used is 8 cents??

2. Consolidate your lots. It is annoying as a buyer to sort through multiple
lots of the same part.

For example...

 
Part No: 61409  Name: Slope 18 2 x 1 x 2/3 with Grille
* 
61409 Slope 18 2 x 1 x 2/3 with Grille
Parts: Slope {Dark Bluish Gray}

you have 4 lots of this parts in new.

Maybe when you are adding parts you are not ticking the consolidate button?

Just some constructive feedback.

Best of luck with your store.

Douglas.

Also consolidation helps buyers who search by quantity.

Sat you have 4 lots for the same part, color and condition. Each with qty 10.
So your total qty is 40. If I search for stores with qty 30, I wouldn't
see your store.

  To the OP, there are absolutely people willing to pay *slightly* more for misprinted
parts, you just have to know where to look. There's a big misprints group
on Facebook, you could ask there. Or do as another user suggested to you and
list it as an auction on ebay. This part will not make you rich, so the stakes
are low. List it here for whatever you think is actually reasonable, then lower
the price every week or so until it sells. You won't get any better responses
by asking here for the 10th time.

Listing it at $1000 will put off probably most people, even if they might have
made an offer. If someone was willing to pay $10 would they offer 100x less than
the seller is asking? More likely they would least favourite the store due to
the very unreasonable pricing than make an offer that is so low compared to what
the seller is asking for it.

Someone has what looks to be the exact same misprint on a popular auction site
listed for $45. I doubt it will sell but if it does, there’s the price your looking
for.

Well, considering this user has posted about this misprint several times now,
I think there's zero chance of it being listed without a description clearly
saying it's a misprint. At that point, it's on you if you buy it not
wanting a misprint.

This is the 12th thread you have started about this figure.

I somehow doubt anyone will pay anywhere near the $1000 you have it listed for.

  Hey there,
I'm relatively new to selling here on Bricklink, so I haven't been able
to work this out as of yet.
But I'm wondering- how do I adjust prices of my invoices?

There have been a couple of times recently where I've quoted lower prices
of postage to a buyer, and just today I had agreed to give a discounted price
for multiple sets purchased. The problem is I have no idea how to actually do
it!

Is it something to do with discount codes?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

James

I’m guessing this is for non instant checkout orders.

There is a credit column that you can add here:
https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettingsCols.asp?v=r&viewFrom=O

Just put the discount in this column, press submit changes and then invoice as
normal.

If it is an IC order, you would need to refund part of the order.

As for the shipping charges, you can override any preset costs by selecting the
shipping cost and entering the new price.

Agreed on the auction. This would have a very limited cross section of buyers.
That said those light nougat bricks would be worth a small fortune if not glued
together.

Any idea on what I could try and sell for?

I haven't a clue. I've only ever owned one glued model (a glass store
display case) and while they are nice display pieces they take up a lot of room.
Auctions are often best for something like that.
