| | ... it was easily noted and rectified
Something odd while processing an order this morning: All items within the order
that were sold out, had the red zero active-link to stockroomed (zero) inventory
of that item. What you’d normally see when the “Retain items in store inventory
after items are sold out” is activated within store listings.
In all our years operating as a vendor here, we’ve used that feature on a handful
of specific listings only, rarely iow. But every listing within this morning’s
order with zero remaining, linked to a stockroom listing of said item. I knew
straight away what the issue was, that the feature had been activated over all
of our inventory. After processing the order, I simply went into our inventory
management page and reset it.
Really don’t know how the change occurred other than not by us. First off, I’m
hardly on that page anymore. Secondly, as said; we've never used that feature
in that manner before. Maybe last night’s update/maintenance or some other event,
who knows
This interrupts how we utilize the very useful Stockroom feature here on BrickLink.
So yeah, perhaps more salient an issue for us than maybe some other vendors.
Nonetheless, just a heads-up to check yours
|
Sounds like I might be confused about what/how that feature is used. I have it
toggled on because I plan to use it to help track which parts are selling or
have sold in the past when choosing new inventory purchases. Are you saying that
people are able to purchase parts where you have zero inventory because that
option is turned on?
Also curious how you use the stockroom feature?

This is the reason I use the Last Six Months Sales Quantity Average for my pricing.

Just found this one, $10 (?) avg price LOL:

I've been observing this on since the start of my selling around
2016.
It was only avail in a CMF set from 2010 and was $4+
In 2017, it became available in a batman movie CMF and has since released in
3 more sets, and the price has slowly whittled down to $0.75-ish
So it appears, the market eventually catches up, but it can take YEARS.

| | I randomly looked at some parts in my inventory and I found one example of a
used part costing ten cents more that a new part. I'm sure I've seen
other examples but that's not the issue. What is it that drives prices the
best. Is it possibly part of the algorithm to fill someone's wanted list
or do people mostly default to used parts on that list? I thought this could
help us sellers use better methods of selling somehow.
The part I'm talking about is 3068bpb0929 2x2 map tile. Last six months .27
cents used, compared to .17 cents new.
any thoughts on this ? I've sometimes thought about listing everything used
unless it was a rare part. You would lose money up front but possibly make more
sales ???? Apparently on this part you would make more money. Just a strange
topic I thought would be fun to discuss.
|
Could be a target for arbitrage - buy the new parts and sell them as used in
your store, $.10 profit per piece.
Personally I think its a good idea to sell everything used because it gets rid
of the people that will complain about a small scratch or whatever.
Either way I would think selling all used or all new is the way to go - having
to manage a whole seperate inventory sound like a nightmare.

Stickers, electronic components and cloth can also be damaged by water. You might
also have mold on the instructions and/or inside of the box. Lastly, there could
be bugs that were attracted by the water and died in there.
I would open the box up and see what you're dealing with. If I were looking
for a New In Box set I wouldn't buy one with water damage unless the price
reflected it. You could always list it as New, Complete instead of New, Sealed:

Since the boxes have water damage and that can mess up instructions like you
mentioned I’d recommend opening them and selling them as open box as otherwise
you might end up selling someone some badly damaged instructions and it would
make things complicated

| Hi,
Sorry but:
You can’t advertise items that are not for sale in a store.
You need to open a store.
And, yes, you need some feedback first and that means buying something.
These are the rules.

okay then another question, what started me on this was when I found my 20th
anniversary Lando figure still in great shape, and upon looking at the going
rate for him amounting at 45-50 dollars for him complete with stand, I was blown
away!  so is he worth more with or without his set?

The figure alone sold 81 times the last 6 months while the set only sold 18 times
both in used condition

If you have the set I would sell it with him to make it complete

I think it’s ok so long as the colours are the same and the variants are the
same, and there are instructions.
| | #2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in

|
No, if you sell those as new you will be in trouble. You can only sell figs as
new if they are straight from the bag or assembled and put STRAIGHT into storage.

Yes, but you have to note in your listing if you don't have the box and/or
instructions.

Nope. It's Used.

so long as what you have matches the bricklink invenoty there is nothing wrong
with selling a used set even if you parted it together from a big box
| | #2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in

you can only sell minifigres as new if they are handled only for sorting and
selling purposes. if you used them for any other purposes including display then
they are no longer new

GO to "Edit Order" (at bottom of the order page), there set the payment
status to unpaid. Then you should be able to cancel.

Personally, as a buyer I wouldn’t expect the alternative heads unless specified
but not everyone is like that so i can understand how that may be an issue.
I’d say sell them with the alt heads as that may be a selling point for some
instead of selling them separately, that’s just me though.

list it based off the bricklink inventory. if you want you can include the alternate
heads/hair as bonuses but not as replacements and they are not expected.

| I received this email from BrickLink:
[Action required] Deadline has been extended to August 4, 2024
"Hello Give.Me.A.Brick,
Your deadline to enable distance selling has been extended to August 4, 2024*.
We want to remind you that you have reached the EUR 10,000 distance selling threshold
on BrickLink for the 2024 calendar year and may need to enable distance selling.
The new EU Marketplace rules went into effect on July 1, 2021 indicating that
any seller with more than EUR 10,000 worth of distance sale of goods must register
with their local tax authorities and charge the VAT rate of the buyer's country.
You will need to register for either One Stop Shop (OSS) or in each individual
EU Member State where you sell on BrickLink. Once you obtain your OSS ID number
or the VAT IDs for the countries you transact in, you can then enable distance
selling on BrickLink.
To enable distance selling, go to the Value Added Tax (VAT) section on the Store
Settings Management page.
Go to Store Settings Management page
If no action is taken, your selling abilities on BrickLink within the EU Member
States (other than your home nation) will be blocked until the end of the next
calendar year. During this time you can still register and enable distance selling.
To learn more about distance selling, please see the European Commission article
on this topic.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team
*11:59pm ET"
I already have registered for OSS and Distance Selling enabled since late 2022
so I'm confused if there's anything further I need to do?

Beyond SezaR's guidance, you might encourage your buyer in moving forward
to activate that notification (link) feature on their My Action Items page too:
https://www.bricklink.com/mySettings.asp
They should appreciate the tip.

Ask to search the id of the item inside your store
Or hover to “my bl” where there is a link to items reserved for buyer (items
reserved by all sellers if there is any other seller who reserved an item for
him)

| Hey All,
I am giving some serious consideration to selling all my stock and storage and
closing down my store just because I am having trouble finding the time to keep
up with it.
This is the current stock level...
Total 68,114 items in 4,566 lots in 171 categories.
My store inventory total value (Original Price): GBP 8,691.49
My store inventory total value after sale (Category Average): GBP 8,691.49
Most of it is parted out and there is a few complete sets
I also have...
26 x 60 drawer storage units each drawer has 2 parts these cost £34 each total
£884
86 Clip lock style containers of 4 different sizes costing around £300 for all
150 Takeaway size containers costing about £30 for the lot.
Most of the Lego in the store is new and I also have available loads of used
Lego that is my own collection.
Everything is organised using a bar code system and I also have a small bar code
scanner that can go with it.
If anyone is interested in making an offer please get in touch. Only serious
offers please.

What if I purchase them for 50 cents and relist them on BrickLink at the now
current price?

That was exactly my thought when I read her post thinking that if she parted
out 10 sets and sold the 10 helmets for one buck each then someone would probably
buy them and turn around and relist them at the 6 month sales average of six
bucks each.

Hope you (and your next of kin) are coping alright.
Regarding the Lego, here's my advice, as I think you are not planning on
starting a shop here, but want to pass the Lego on to another AFOL/seller/collector
here.
Contact some UK regional sellers directly through the BL-sytem. Explain what
you want, provide the listings so they can asses the collection. And make you
an offer.
Here's a list of the top sellers in England, UK, you might want to contact:
https://www.bricklink.com/memberList.asp?stateID=10270&countryID=UK&v=3&viewUserType=2
If you want a second opinion on any offer you are given by any seller, I'll
be happy to help you. Just send me the inventory listings (what file type do
you have it in? hopefully XLM, CSV or BrickStore ).
Best of luck and hope this helps!
