Impossible, how can you hear about something that does not exist?

Extremely cool! The marbling is barely there, but let me know if you'd like
to trade anything for a Cylinder 3 x 3 x 5 with Handle!
|
I would, but unfortunately I only collect 2x4’s, but don’t tell anyone

Only adding to the records that I've always admired the King of Marbled 3001.
Along with Starbeanie, the incumbent Duke of Stickers. And that man who's
just inherited all the Modulex in Switzerland*. And SylvainLS, Viscount of Nomenclature.
Your jaw-dropping collections are the heart and soul of what makes BrickLink
special in my book. And encouraged me to chase after my niche interests too.
Cheers!

| | I organise my stock by colour, sub divided by categories for used, soon to do
the same with new, works for me.
Only manually add used stock and odd new items, most new by auto part out, reuse
larger boxes for shipping but I buy new large letter boxes in two sizes.
Had to add minimum order value due to far too many low value orders that I was
losing money on.
|
|
I have no minimum, but to not lose money on a low value sale, all sales below
€10 pay an extra €0.50.
This still gives buyers the option to buy that one part and if my math is correct
should not really lose me money.....

I'm worried of that as well. But hey maybe it'll rope in repeat customers!

If your stock is big enough and your service is good, people will come back.
My first store storage were big bins with zip lock baggies inside with parts.
So a bin for all 1x bricks, a bin for 2x bricks, one for tiles and other parts
etc.
Inside each baggie are all colors 1x1 brick etc. if you have more of one color
1x1 brick give it its own baggie..
This way I could easily expand my system, if I got more of the 1x bricks, I could
make a new bin for the 1x6 and up bricks.
More weird parts, just add a bin.
This system can grow with your store and I find it very flexible
The smaller parts can be put in a low bin or in drawers, you have to look what
fits you and the space you have best.
Right now my store is very small, I try and only sell items I like, but I still
have lots of bulk bricks.
Sooner or later I will have to add those again and take my bins out of storage

Thank you Stuart

Some sellers have a problem with dropshippers. I do not - a sale is a sale. You
protect yourself by shipping to the PayPal address.
If your buyer is who I think it is, they will order from you again. I've
had 5 orders from him with no issues.

sell to him? What should I do to protect myself?
