| I was just wondering if anyone had information about this. What sells the most
on BrickLink, new or used parts ?
Thanks

That's really hard to say, as you have to take in a lot of factors (price,
supply and demand).
However, I chose a few random basic pieces and looked at the six month price
guide. All pieces had a much higher sell rate for new than used, but at the same
time there were a lot more new pieces for sale than used. When checking the percentages,
they came out pretty close; usually 30-50% of the available supply was sold in
the last six months for both new and used.
Based on experience, I would say used sells more than new, but requires a bit
more work and the prices are a bit lower.

It's a good question. Can't offer input beyond speculation, I've
only ever sold/bought new parts here, myself. You'll no doubt have interesting
answers to your question though, a lot of smart people occupy the BL forum. There's
also a few members here, that enjoy keeping track of and analyzing site-wide
sales data.
