|
| It depends on the size of the set. For the really big sets, I usually part out
a quantity of 2. For most medium size sets, I usually part out a quantity of
4. For the small sets, I will part out 6 to 8.

| | Hey Guys,
I'm sure this must have been discussed in the past but I can't find any
relevant threads so apologies if that is the case (+any links appreciated).
For those of us who part out new sets how many copies of each do you tend to
go with? I'm a little hesitant with going to deep in a single set in case
it doesn't perform to well.
Cheers

Now that my personal accounting is caught up, I've been working on getting
my business accounting caught up for taxes and all. And peace of mind.
I have never bothered with 3P software on Bricklink and though some more inventory
tools would be handy I get by okay with what is there. So I've not paid
attention to what people say about API and such in the forum. I still don't
think I want to dive into advance inventory management, but if one of these programs
digs out all of my order information in a handy way like Mint where I can just
keep my totals and numbers up to date, I'd like someone to pitch it. I would
love to have the hour or more a week that I spend updating spreadsheets back.

| | I've been seeing lots of sellers mentioning Pirateship as their preferred
method. For those who are using it:
How are you importing your order info?
Are you copy/pasting each order or are you using CSV? If I understand their
website right, I can't integrate with PayPal like I can on Shipstation. When
shipping 20+ orders per day that seems really inefficient.

I'm going to be an outsider here but I use PirateShip but I've also coded
my own order pulling and Shipping program. When I get to the shipping screen
I just download the csv file that I generate and import - Purchase - print.
On orders that need a little more effort (usually over a pound) in figuring out
the cheapest best way to ship I can copy/paste in the address.
Before I started using PirateShip (Early December) I was still using Paypal Multiorder
shipping as I hadn't gotten switched to ShipStation yet.
BTW if you want to see more of the order pulling software I wrote for myself
you can see a montage of me building it on my Youtube channel here https://youtu.be/v8HKVvXMbvU?t=691

hoping someone may have been able to find one since then.
For sellers like myself who only sell to US customers and want to price their
items based strictly on available US inventory, BL's price guide returns
very inaccurate results, usually below the lowest prices.
Has anyone figured out a workaround to this issue so that a seller could extract
pricing based solely on inventory located in the US?

| This is one of the many features when Parting Out Set using Brick Seller. In
addition, it will automatically default the Remarks values for parts that you
already have in your inventory but in different colors (to the Remarks value
in the most lots of that part).
If you are not familiar with Brick Seller, you can find a link to it on the BrickLink
Inventory Software links here: https://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID=9
Also, below is an overview of some of the main features of Brick Seller:
Brick Seller is a cloud based application. You access Brick Seller from your
web browser (https://www.brickseller.net). There is no need to download and install
anything. The advantages of hosting Brick Seller in the cloud is that you can
access your data from anywhere and when enhancements and bug fixes are ready
to be released, they will available to everyone immediately.
Brick Seller uses a SPA (Single Page Application) design to keep the data moving
back and forth between your browser and the server to a minimum and also eliminates
the whole page refresh problem you see with some browser based applications.
Brick Seller uses the BrickLink API, this allows Brick Seller to have a custom
user interface for working with your data. The data you see in Brick Seller
is current with what is in BrickLink. Changes that you make to your data will
be immediately updated on BrickLink. There is no need to export XML files and
import them using the BrickLink website.
When you register for Brick Seller, your inventory and recent order data will
be downloaded from BrickLink and put into your own Brick Seller database. This
is needed to make the Brick Seller search functions fast and to limit the number
of API calls. If you make all you inventory updates through Brick Seller, your
inventory data will always be in sync with BrickLink. If you happen to make
some inventory updates directly in BrickLink, you can quickly sync your inventory
data back up with Brick Seller.
Brick Seller will maintain an up to date database of all items in the
BrickLink catalog. Again, this is needed to make the Brick Seller search functions
fast and to limit the number of API calls.
When searching for items, your inventory data and the catalog data is searched
at the same time. This way, you can update the items you already have in your
inventory and add items to your inventory at the same time.
Brick Seller records all your inventory transactions in one or more Batches.
This allow you to view the history of your inventory changes. But the best
thing about Batches is that it let's you track the cost of the inventory
you add. For instance, let's say you purchased a large unsorted lot of used
parts. You can create a Batch providing a description and the cost of that unsorted
lot. As you add those parts to your inventory, those inventory transactions
(including your current price for those parts) will be captured in that Batch
so at any point you can see what your "yield" is from the unsorted lot. When
parting out sets, the cost of those sets is automatically captured in a Batch
along with all the inventory transactions.
Brick Seller assumes that you use the Remarks field in BrickLink to capture your
inventory locations. When parting out sets and picking orders, Brick Seller
will only show items in one inventory location at a time and in the order of
your inventory locations. This helps to keep your inventory data and picked
orders more accurate. This also helps to make the process of putting items away
in your inventory and picking orders more efficient.
There have been many enhancements to Brick Seller since it was first released
and the demonstration videos were created. Here are some links to the BrickLink
Forum posts announcing some of the major enhancements.

I would be very happy about this function.

|
| This feature already exists in Brick Seller. When parting out sets, the remarks
field will be automatically filled in with the remarks from other lots that you
have in inventory for the same part. If you have different remarks for the different
colors of the same part (let's say you have many in Black and you store them
in a different inventory location), the remarks field will be filled with the
remarks from lots that have the most colors stored in it.

| | When I go to part out a set, especially a large set, I would like to have this
specifically:
On page 1 where I input the number of sets etc. - A tick box for something along
the lines of "auto add pre-existing remarks to items".
I am aware this is shown on the confirmation page but here is why this is a problem.
Some of my parts don't have any remarks because I have never had them in
my inventory. I and many others use the remarks box to input the a reference
number to their place of storage. If I have the item in my inventory I have to
either click onto a new page or wait until I go to the inventory page.
If I had this tick box on the first page, that I am suggesting, here is what
would happen.
The remarks would be filled in automatically for parts with your "default" remark.
This would occur on the same page where you can alter pricing, quantities, add
notes, etc. This would mean I can go through the part out list, add remarks easily
to new parts, store parts in their rightful places, alter quantities, etc. all
in one page.
