| I just noticed that I have a collectible mini fig “set” that’s been listed at
or near the lowest price for 18 months. In the past 6 months it’s sold at a higher
price 27 times in the US. That means it’s probably sold at a higher price 80
times since listing. I didn’t think my store minimum was too high and my selection
of figs is pretty good…
Just something I found interesting and goes to show you, there’s more to selling
than a low price. 🤷♂️

Of course there is more than just price. You have two used CMF sets. I find buyers
often buy multiple CMF sets in an order and so range/choice is important, otherwise
postage costs are high for just one or two figures. It is better to buy from
a more expensive store that has a selection.
I have a cart that is now 10 months old with a store that has a very good price
on a part. Yet the value of the cart is awful, as there is nothing else in the
store of interest.

| yep. only two left now although I used to have around 40 or 50. I do have
30 or so of the collectible figs without the accessories which seem to move just
as fast for me. Like I said, just an oddity that sometimes a well priced item
will just sit way, way longer than similar items for no discernible reason.

| Once listed some very common slope pieces for $3 instead of $0.03. Sold a couple
to two different buyers before catching the mistake. Both buyers had placed slightly
larger orders so the quick buy probably chose our store as the cheapest to get
all those parts even with the $3 slopes and the buyers didn't seem to notice.
