Hello,

I want to sell all my City sets at 50% of RRP. But I want to sell it in one bundle.

How do I go about this on BL without breaking the TOS.

Basically 31 City sets for 700 euro, RRP is 1400.

Thanks

To do it using BrickLink, you have two options:

1. List each set as normal, single lots. Then use the BIND option to add them
all into a SUPER LOT.
https://www.bricklink.com/inventoryBind.asp

2. List the whole thing as a single UNSORTED LOT. Using the Extended Description,
you can add additional photos and descriptive text.
https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_add.asp?act=a&a=U

For either option, I suggest providing plenty of pictures and a predetermined
shipping cost, either built into the price or have the cost of shipping clearly
defined and described within the listing.

* * *

An offer such as this might be better suited (and sell faster) at other online
sales venues. But there is no harm in offering it here on BrickLink.

In general, Super Lots here are not well liked. One argument is that they screw
up the price guide if, for example, a seller creates their super lot with each
item listed at one penny except for one lot that has the aggregate price, making
a super lot final price that the seller wishes the total to be. Also, by default,
Super Lots are not shown in most search results unless the searcher specifically
selects the Show Super Lots option. The other thing lacking to Super Lots is
the option to include one master photo that shows everything included in the
super lot.

Good Luck, whatever you choose to do.

Thanks for the explanation. And with that and the shipping complexity, I might
indeed just choose a different platform and try to offload locally.

Is there much duplication? Also, depending on total sizes once packed, it might
be just as easy to offer them at 20% off, then 30%, etc, individually first and
see if they go. Once you get above a certain box size, international shipping
is almost killed due to price. So unless your domestic market is strong, a large
lot of sets might struggle to sell here.

Thanks, completely forgot about the shipping if there was ever a buyer. So yes,
has to be Ireland only then. And potentially Northern Ireland.

There is some duplication but not much.
