  $5000.00 for a new one and $500.00 plus for a used one / well that unfortunately
provides a lot of incentive for someone to try to print out some decent looking
fake torsos, spend a few bucks buying the standard tan legs and Yoda heads and
then try and sell them on different sites. If you sell 5 of them on different
sites and if even 2 people file a PayPal claim, the guy still makes out.

Right on the money, Jim!

Well, not very conclusive as there’s no LEGO factory in New York.

Much more, 1000? I thought it was 1001!

  Hello,
I need your help once. I have received a Yoda minifigure and would like an expertise
on the authenticity of this figure. The torso has a Lego lettering on it, but
I'm not sure if the printing on the shirt wasn't applied afterwards.
Thank you for your help!

A side-by-side comparison with the Bricklink catalog image of the printing does
show some slight differences (specifically the shape of the lower point of the
heart and its' positioning)...

Yep - I agree with some here, it's so easy to print that chances are low,
IMHO, to be genuine.

I agree with Ed as well that the heart on mine is not exactly inline with the
"I" but instead a little offset lower just like the one in the BrickLink picture.

  Are there any part out themes that are better than others? I’ve been trying to
get more variety other than Lego Star Wars.
And is there anything in my shop that I could do to improve sales?

It seems like some of your stuff are highly-priced which won't help sales.
for example,
you're used
 
Minifig No: sw0565  Name: Astromech Droid, C1-10P (Chopper) - Light Bluish Gray Body
* 
sw0565 (Inv) Astromech Droid, C1-10P (Chopper) - Light Bluish Gray Body
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Rebels
is listed for $23 CAD when it normally sells in used condition for $10 CAD. Also,
you don't have many lots for sale, only 372 and 1952 bricks I didn't
get consistent sales till I was closer to 6-7k lots and about 100k-150k bricks.
Also, you might want to change this line here "We do not take responsibility
once items have been shipped" as it's not true as Paypal and banks always
side with the buyer no matter what. if you are worried it might get damaged it's
best to buy insurance.
Also, it looks like you only ship to the UK and USA. I'm not sure if I'm
missing something but most European stores sell to all of Europe which helps
increase sales
