Hi fellow sellers! I'm curious if you've noticed any patterns or trends
in your BrickLink store performance related to time of the month. For example,
do your sales spike at the beginning of the month or tend to pick up towards
the end? Or perhaps there's a month-over-month trend you've observed?

I think sharing insights could be helpful for all of us as we plan inventory
and strategies for our stores. I'd love to hear your experiences or thoughts—whether
you've seen consistent trends or unexpected fluctuations!

Time of the month is less of a factor than time of the week and year. About
65% of my orders come between 5PM Friday (End of work day on the US East Coast)
and 2AM Monday (when most normal people are going to bed Sunday night on the
US West Coast). It's so consistent I can almost set my watch to it. The
two in this screen shot came in a few seconds apart at 1:30AM. It's about
the closest I'm ever going to come to getting sequential orders.

Beyond that, orders are inversely proportional to the temperatures outside.
Meaning orders slow down in the warmer months and increase during the colder
months.

Great insights. In my limited time thus far as a seller, I've noticed similar
weekend trends. It's great to hear about the weather trends too. I'm
in NYS and we have very seasonal weather. Lego is definitely an indoor hobby
and something I agree would likely go down during the nicer weather months.
Thanks for sharing.
