I opened my store about 3.5 months ago and have only had one buyer so far. How
do I attract more buyers? Do only the lowest priced items get sold? Thank you
for any tips!

selection is important. the more you list the more you'll sell. also we are
in/leaving the summer slow down that happens every year where sales are much
slower compared to the rest of the year

try posting like 15-20 items a week, then send out wanted list notifications.

Very few people are after smaller used sets that have had their minifigs removed.

Would these not sell better on feebay, of course you would have to lower your
pricing substantially. Competing here with all the large sellers is tough, plus
one of your used sets w/o figs at $30 can be purchased new with figs sealed in
box for same price.

You have 8 items for sale, 7 of which have had most of their value removed (I
assume the sets are stripped of the mini-figs) as being Incomplete used sets.
Buy the missing items to complete the sets and price competitively or part them
out to sell parts which will sell much faster than incomplete sets.
