| Hello! I have kind of a random question, I get a lot of my stock from flipping
off local selling sites. I have about 40 lbs of misc piece(no figures). Do you
all think going through a 40 lb tub and listing pieces is even worth it for my
store? I may just sell all the random pieces in a bulk locally and stick to sets,
figures, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

The more parts you have in your store the more business you will get even if
it is a pain to list each part. Takes time but it pays off especially with harder
to find parts. Most buyers like single parts I have noticed in bigger orders.
hope this helps

I think the time spent to clean, list, and sell unsorted used Lego is only worth
it if you have a large enough selection that buyers can find what they are looking
for. There are many common parts that will never sell on their own.
You might try listing just the categories that are most likely to sell like minifig
accessories, tiles, and bricks.
You will need to know the basics of our catalog, colors, and variants. You will
need an organized storage system. You will also need the materials to pack and
ship small orders.
Good luck,
~Jen

If you had to employ somebody to do the work of sorting, washing, and listing,
even at minimum wage, it's unlikely to ever be worth it financially. This
business only works if sorting Lego is your hobby, and doesn't cost the shop
anything. But as long as you have fun with it, and can cover your costs, it's
a win in my eyes...
