Hey!

I took a break from Bricklink and returning, Bricklink still seems slow. I know
this is normal and sales pick up in Winter but does anyone have any tips, specific
tips to increase sales?

Also, what parts/pieces (and their colors) sell best for you guys so I can add
to my store to further increase sales? I wish there was a way to view all the
highest selling parts from all stores at the same time. Is there?

- Thank you!, SB

In my experience, black, LBG, DBG, and white sell the best, but all colors can
sell a high amount. I'd say aim to have a high volume of bricks plates and
tiles as those sell quite a bit. Look for sets on sale at walmart and other stores
that part out for close to double what they sell for. That's a good way to
grow inventory and orders.

Figures sell very well - especially Star Wars figures, but others as well

Lower prices usually help to increase sales.

Unless what you have is either not wanted or you don't have enough of what
a customer wants to make placing an order worthwhile once shipping costs are
taken into account.
