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.

I believe you are right in that when you do have a shop, you can only see the

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.

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!

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.

Why exclude the extreme 10%, what is correct about that? Why not 2%, 5%, 16.67%

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I was the kid who quit ballet because it interfered with watching Scooby Doo,

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?

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

| 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!

Thanks for your input. I was thinking around that price as well, but was unsure

This set is already in the Bricklink catalog, item number 66138. There is no

of this set being for sale, from there my question to the community.
Kind Regards,

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.

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.

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.

| 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...
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.

| 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.

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.

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.

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.
