Store: Bob's Your Uncle Bricks
Hi!

I will be opening my store in a couple of weeks when my son is out of school
for the summer. That will give me more time to process orders.
In the meantime, I've been building up my inventory of used and new parts.

I still need to buy mailing supplies and fine tune the store policies.
Any advice for a new seller would be greatly appreciated as I will strive for
100% positive feedback.
I am considering giving a free minifig to my first ten customers as well as 10%
off the entire store for a couple of weeks to generate some interest.
Thanks in advance for any responses!

With just a quick glance, I like your somewhat succinct terms. Overly wordy term
pages, from what I've always assumed is paranoia of some vendors in trying
to qualify every conceivable selling scenario, a long held peeve of mine. Make
it fun. But more importantly, make it easy (painless, my dad would say) to spend.
An old school sales fundamental.

Like your store name, btw. Maybe would've gone with something quirky and
more memorable with added meaning "Bob's your Uncle Bricks"

Best of luck, and remember to have fun with it

Thank you for the reply and the feedback. You give good advice. And the store
name you suggested is much better than mine. My wife is British, so she would
agree for sure. If you don't mind, I would like to use it if changing the
name is possible.

Take care and thanks again!

Don't mind at all, it was for you and your new beginning here, I efforted
the idea. Not only possible to change, but more quickly done than with username:

Take care and thanks again!

You're welcome, Robert.

Thank you all for the replies and helpful answers. I've made a few changes
to the store. Couldn't use the name Cory suggested because there were too
many characters, so I had to shorten it a bit. BTW my wife was totally on board
with the new name!
