| Hey I recently decided to look into selling all of my unbuild Lego boxes which
I had Stored in my attic.
I found out it in total is worth around 2000 euros... So now i have started investigating
how to sell Lego since I have never really thought it was a thing.
My question is:
How hard is it to sell when I have now former knowledge or recommendations? Because
I just discovered that you need at least 1 positive recommendation, so if I buy
anything to get that one recommendation is that enough? I fear I will buy something
just to get 1 positive review and then nobody will trust me and buy from me or
that I will have to sell all of the boxes for a ridiculously low price.
The box I have which is the most expensive is the Christmas gift from Lego in
2019 with the number 4002019. It's Said to be worth about 670 euro.
Do you think anyone will trust me to buy for 670 euros when i only have 1 positive
recommendation?

For information, feedback for buying and feedback for selling are separate: when
you go to someone’s store, you only see their selling feedback.
Sure, someone who’s been here for a long time and has a history (feedbacks) as
a buyer may look more trustworthy as the number next to their name combines all
feedbacks, but their store will still show 0 feedback (look in my always-cloded-store
 ).
So, yes, trust is hard.
I’d say it all depends on other “signs” (weird terms, too low prices (too good
to be true)) and a lot of other criteria depending on the potential buyer.

I just had to go through the process myself. I had to buy something from someone
to get a positive feedback myself and now trying to build it up. I would be happy
to leave you a positive feedback if you ordered from my store to help me out
also

That is not quite right, when you enter a store you see the combined buyer ànd
seller feedback as the feedback score. It is the percentage praise that is as
a seller only.
As to the question itself, I would not trust a seller that lists high value items
to start. It might be better to list the lower value items first to build up
say 10 feedback as a seller to make it clear you are an honest seller. The other
reason is that you will get some experience from those lower value sales and
not make mistakes when it comes to the higher value items where you have more
to lose. And you no longer look like a naive new seller that can be as easily
scammed by a buyer making unusual requests.

Yes, as I said in the next paragraph: next to the username. But everything that
clearly say “feedback” in a store is only about selling feedback.
Username and feedback also don’t appear in the Price Guide.
