Hello Lego Community,

I started a store three months ago in Switzerland...it's going ok so far
but i'd love to receive any tips or tricks from anyone with more experience!

I have an inventory made up of used sets which I am carefully preparing from
a large house clearance collection. Amazingly all boxes and instructions seem
to be present. The obvious sets went very quickly (Modular and big-ticket Star
Wars) but I’ve been more surprised by a fairly constant trickle of other orders.
25 sets sold so far in 14 lots. I'm only just keeping pace with demand at
the moment, but i'm pricing on the low side to keep turnover moving.

Highlight:
Definitely finding the Star Wars Phantom and finding out the value had increased
x10 from RRP

Lowlight:
Endless negotiations about shipment costs to the US. For now I’m focusing on
Switzerland and Europe, RoW is too complicated

Love to hear any thoughts you may have
