That could be good news for Bricklink stores other than those that source inventory
from PAB walls of course!

That is one positive - prices may go up on Bricklink which might not be quite
so positive

Yep I think this year will have the tag "inflation". Bricklink prices are likely
to be behind retail prices due to the massive overstocks here but I think they
will go up over time. For mass demanded parts (bricks, plates, etc.) it would
not take a big shift of buyers switching to BL from other sources like PAB I
suppose to reduce those stocks though. That said there are some parts here that
look like they might take until the next millenium to sell out.

Agreed with both yours and Nita's comments. Don't you wish you could
raise your prices by 30%, We will be watching this very closely on BL, I have
already heard from one Lego store manager that they are not happy with this.
They have limited supplies coming in and now prices are much higher. If B&P is
combined with PAB that is going to be very interesting indeed.

There is that of course, but local retail managers always have problems in Dec
and Jan getting in supplies. That has beem happening for years now.

Looking at it from the other end of the telescope ... If you sell it here, for
the same price you had it listed for 12 months back, your return today will not
buy what it would have bought 12 months ago. Think about that.

The price guide does not take into account inflation. Actual buying power is
varying from country to country (which also isn't being considered).

Very true, with inflation your inventory is worth less in terms of spending power
when liquidated. Here in UK we have not seen big inflation for decades, many
sellers will never have experienced its effect.

I tell my kids that we used to have to wait in line for *hours* just to get gas
(petrol) and the days on which you could buy it were limited (if your license
plate ended in an even number then you could only buy on even days of the month,
etc.). Not sure they believe me, even writing it seems crazy.
