Hi, I am new to bricklink and have just started selling on here. I have added
my inventory but not yet had any interest. I understand I probably need to be
patient but wondered if there was anything I could do to help improve sales?

I would really appreciate any suggestions you good folks have and look forward
to hearing from you.

Thanks
Adam

In my experience, sets don’t sell like hotcakes. Also, when I first opened, I
had super low prices to establish myself.

You need to set up some shipping options, as currently it says you don't
ship to the UK.

It looks like your store only has 22 recent sets. Most buyers on Bricklink are
after parts. People who buy sets are generally looking for ones that are older
than what you have. When I sell sets, I know that it's a waiting game.
Sets have sat in my store for several years before selling sometimes.

Hi Adam,
Welcome to Bricklink!
The best way to get sales is to increase your lots, IE: store inventory. More
product=more sales.
Most people on Bricklink are looking for parts so selling sets is a waiting game.
Think of it like this...
500 people log into Bricklink. Of those 500 people, only 25 are looking to buy
sets. There are over 19,000 sets listed on Bricklink of which you have 22. Your
store is 1 of 17,799 stores currently open on Bricklink and there are currently
2,873,530 sets New & Used being sold in those stores. The odds of someone looking
for one of the sets you have listed is very small.

To increase your chances, you need to add product to your store.
Other sellers have listed their products at a lower price than the 6-month average
when they are first starting out to help them gain feedback and customers as
well as sales.

I wish you the best in your journey on Bricklink!
