Is 10k+ parts enough to open a bricklink store or should I close it and add more
and more to my inventory?

Yes, it is enough. This is the time where you will begin to learn the ropes
of selling and utilizing BL tools. Grow your store over time. There have been
sellers that started off big and ran into major issues early on.

Your store looks good to me. A good selection of items so far.
Just be patient and orders will come.

I am impressed that you have over 1,000 listings of more than quantity of 2.
Bigger quantities may give you the ability to price stuff slightly higher.

One tip I have offered for years to BL sellers is that you are better off in
the long run to part out 10 or 20 copies of the same set rather than 2 copies
of 5 different sets. That might mean a few weeks or months acquiring more copies
of sets, but then you can part out more copies of the same set at the same time
which gives you bigger quantities and is less effort and time on your part.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Sell Lots of Lego and Make Lots of Money.

There isn't really a threshold number, it depends what the parts are and
to some extent how they are priced.

1 part is enough. I've never had 10,000 parts and I've had over 1,500
orders in around 3 years.

10 thousand is plenty to start. You will get orders. I started with 1500 parts.
Have fun with your store while you continue to grow.
