Hello Lego Fanatics!

Looking for some advice before I start selling.

I have a ton of spare pieces from my lego sets and would like to start selling
them. I am not sure about this best way to identify piece/part numbers and colours.
Questions I have are as follows:

- What is the easiest way to identify a piece/part number?
- What is the easiest way to identify the piece/part colour?
- How do I figure out fair pricing per piece/part?

I would also assume that Brick Link takes a percentage of sales as a fee as well?

Any help and advice would be grateful.

Thank you

Yes, 3% fee charged monthly/when your bill hits the minimum

  Any help and advice would be grateful.

Thank you

Best of luck! And remember, the seller is always responsible for the package
regardless of tracking/insurance and never charge fees aside from shipping costs
as they are a massive turnoff for buyers (and in many locations not allowed)

You should get familiar with the catalog and search functions. These give you
an idea of what pieces are called, and what colors they came in.
For pricing, start with the six month average, and work from there.
Read everything in the help pages about selling, before you start.
