Congrats! My biggest piece of advise is to keep your expectations in check.
In order to get a decent amount of orders you need either a large variety in
the store or large quantities. Both would be even better. I have a store of
530,000 pieces and I sell about $60 per day. It's not enough to live on.
It takes a long time to build up your numbers.

However, if you love Lego, the store will give you lots of parts to build with
and offers a way to make collecting a bit easier on the wallet.

One other thing I've found. The more you get into the selling lego the more
you end up wanting to buy for yourself. I'm 4 years in and I haven't
made a profit yet. I can't stop buying!

It's great fun. Very hard to make money though.
