Hello,

I recently opened my bricklink store and have made 12 sales. Out of these 12
only 1 of them was a part order. Is this because i am a new seller? Are my part
prices too high, or do i not have enough stock? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks, NGBrick

Noticed you have a lot of used, not everyone looks for used in common parts,
that may be holding you back a little, maybe add some new. However you have started
selling in the post school/summer holidays and now the start of the run up to
thanksgiving/christmas. Apart from the unusual last year when everyone was more
stuck inside I would say this is a quieter time of year for sales normally. But
you are in the US, lot of very big sellers over there. Bigger your range the
more sales you will have. Just keep slowly expanding until you hit either a space
limitation on stock or you reach a level of sales your happy with.

I have recently done the reverse and reduced down my quantity due to other life
commitments and that has slowed down sales massively.

You've not been open long and already have 13 sales - I'd call that a
win.

Looking at the order numbers for the orders you received (by looking at the feedback
you have left) and comparing them to our order numbers shows that your 13 orders
have come to in less then one week so I would say that you have had a VERY SUCCESSFUL
first week of selling - definitely better than most new stores.

Thanks for all the positive responses, I am glad that it seems my prices are
fine and I have a relatively successful store, at least comparing to other new
stores. Thanks for all the positivity.

If anyone would like a coupon who contributed to the discussion message me on
bricklink.

Thanks NGBrick
