I'm a new seller and have been tying to figure out which sets to part out.

And have noticed recent vaues of a few sets have gone way up eg-(76989) from
$280aud to $660 !
When trying to figure out why I noticed Brick Takeover has priced Aloy hfw001
at $1510aud, which makes the part out value way out of reality.

Brick Takeover also charges way too much for the Sand Green Plate, Round 1 x
1 ($48aud) in set (40521) also skewing the value massivley.

Is this accepted/normal?

I asked them once why they did that, and this was her reply:

  "this is a new part at ours.
We always list them very expensive until my coworker has time to make a correct price.

Will be done asap."

Ok, good to know I'm not the only one to notice.
Still it's ridiculus, If they don't want to sell it just make it the
highest price obviously.
It's just realy anoyed me because I have bassed a lot of my purchases on
the part out value and now I no it can be very very inacurate....

Sellers can set whatever prices they like. If you believe that they are breaking
any rules, you can report individual items.

You are asking for trouble if you are automatically basing your pricing on other
people's prices for items that have not sold. Prices for items that have
sold are more realistic although can be over-estimated for new parts/figures.
If you want to price based on current items for sale then it pays to check each
one, so is often only worthwhile for more expensive pieces. Especially for you,
you might find you should only be looking at other Aus seller's prices so
you can price for the domestic market rather than based on worldwide averages.

I was basing my purchases on the mid point of the current price and the six month,
I thought I was being realistic.
I'm just angry* because I've already spent 2/3 of my life savings based
on incorrect* data. Who the snip* prices a so so minifig at $1500aud, it just shows
no repect for everyone else on this site.
Thanks for the tip about local prices, I have been doing that for minifigs/animals.

*= Edited.
Please mind your language in the forum.

The data is not incorrect. It is a perfect record of what other people have priced
their currently unsold items at. Using unsold prices without investigating them
is dangerous, especially if you are investing a lot of money into a decision
based on that data alone.

First of, why would you spend so much money on LEGO and secondly, the incorrect
data is your own fault.

  on incorrect* data. Who the snip* prices a so so minifig at $1500aud, it just shows

You can list anything at any price, that is totally up to you.
Maybe use the “sold” list instead of the asking price…

Good luck,
Maxx

I replyed but it seems you can't say swear words lol.. not at you I just
said snip* would you put a price that high 30x the next higest price unless you
don't care about this site funtioning as intended.

*=Edited, again.

When trying to figure out if you want to part out a set, why don't you use
"Last 6 Months Sales Average" instead of "Current Items For Sale Average" in
"Default prices to"?

This should get you a more realistic price for the parts.

It's just a shame some sellers have made the current price average irrelevent.

True, there are some shops where you think that their prices are defined for
selling the sets in about 30 years xD

  It's just a shame some sellers have made the current price average irrelevent.


Some concepts to understand?

In order to collect, manage and restock more than say 5000 or 8000 (different!)
Lots in a shop... it requires someone working almost 24/7/365.

It's a service, it's a full salary (much more in fact) to be paid, which
cannot be earned in a Technic Pin -20% off Avg Price Guide price, even sold by
100.

Price of parts reflect the cost.
It's both parts cost and the (managing) service.
The more you've lots the more the ratio shifts to service, which tends to
be far far more expensive than the single cost of a common part.

Which is also why Bulkers have few lots (like 1000) but high quantity and often
the best prices.

And later you'll discover that some Shops in BrickLink are roughly 20 times
more expensive than the one you're talking about

To give you a hint: the most expensive (in my estimate) is in France (not us!)
and the second one is in Portugal.

Some may see whom I'm talking about

And apart this, they're great great people both, by the way!
They've no intention to break the Price Guide.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule...

Wow, your store has alot of parts!

Thanks for the advice.

To get my store organised/stocked before opening I have been spending 14hrs a
day for about a month. So I can't imaginge how I will have time in the day
when/if I start making regular sales.

I got the impression from shop owners on YouTube that managing a rufly 6000 lot
store takes about 5-6 hrs a day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've been trying to get more lots than bulk, I wouldn't even know where
to get bulk parts cheep enough to resell at a profit anyway. (I'm only selling
new parts)

And I don't want to annoy older sellers and undercuts prices.

So I just have a few minifigs cheaper with added accessories to get people into
my store but 95% of my parts are the average.

Yes, and managing at this level is not picking/packaging/shipping orders, especially
if you've no minimum buy or lot number

  And I don't want to annoy older sellers and undercuts prices.

Oh you won't.

You'll just probably realize your prices are too low when you've forgotten
insurance, accounting, paper, packaging, zip bags, the whole furniture, internet,
bank cost, payment fees, lost orders cost, rental maybe?


G'luck!

We here decided that whatever the price of a part could be, we'll never set
it for less than 0.02€ (or 0.02$ if you wish).

Because as we don't have ANY minimum, even with a 0.02€ part and say a huge
margin, you don't pay the 30 seconds salary to pick this single part

  And they do all sellers a benefit by keeping prices up as its the job of sellers
to keep prices up and the job of buyers to keep prices down

We here decided that whatever the price of a part could be, we'll never set
it for less than 0.02€ (or 0.02$ if you wish).

Because as we don't have ANY minimum, even with a 0.02€ part and say a huge
margin, you don't pay the 30 seconds salary to pick this single part

maybe add a minimum? (or are you trying to keep a high order total )

BTW, read your me page (thanks, even if I'm mixed up with bad people!)

I've doubts about the "music" you're talking about.
Anyway, if it's your taste...

This *could* be close, the difference is they're very good musician/artists

He is decent but let's just say he has some "unique images" that were "interesting"
(On ig (alt account) I was able to get so many people angry at me on one of his
posts but it was so much fun )

  We here decided that whatever the price of a part could be, we'll never set
it for less than 0.02€ (or 0.02$ if you wish).

Because as we don't have ANY minimum, even with a 0.02€ part and say a huge
margin, you don't pay the 30 seconds salary to pick this single part

maybe add a minimum? (or are you trying to keep a high order total )

We've bit extra added in the shipping fees for its packaking and base costs
(stickers...)

We've calculated (evaluated, say) picking as an average; no problem to take
3 minutes to make a 1 part order if you've also 30 minutes orders with 2000+
parts.

It's also hoping for the future.
Many new/recent buyers just take a couple of parts, but after a couple or few
order, they may end up with 100€+ orders when they feel comfortable.

Yes, I noticed there was only one other set that part came in.
But because the Mansion has few parts and alot of that part, putting such a high
price ruins the current part out estimate.

This really should have been a private conversation instead of a forum post.
None of us should be commenting publicly about another sellers pricing (or in
this case pricing process).

Regardless of what other sellers are doing, I would use caution in parting out
any set with high amounts of sand green (or other uncommon colors).

The prices are often quite distorted, and will quickly crash as more sellers
add inventory.

Take sand green studs for example. Only made in one set in 2002 with a quantity
of two. I think the average was $5. Then the new disney haunted house came out
and it had over 50 in it. Looking at the part out price showed a crazy price
of over $300, yet people were already starting to list the studs for under $0.10.
