So after 19 wonderful years, we're officially out of the Lego resell gambit
here on BL.

Turned over our $100,000+ inventory to a new and very promising brick n’mortar
venture here in the Seattle area. In other words, my son, daughter and I have
officially divested our interest in LEGO.

That said, I (personally) am still open to this type of investment moving forward.
So, if you’ve a LEGO venture/idea in need of backing, pm me. I'd like to
hear it.

God bless and love each other

Yes, very impressive.

In fact, if I did the math correctly, popsicle's percentage of FB received
is 97%
I dunno how he did that. I have not seen very many sellers to ever pass much
beyond the 60% FB received level.

My own FB received percentage is 60.1% I have had many buyers that simply do
NOT leave FB for any of their sellers -- some who have hundreds of FB from
all their orders placed, some who have placed multiple orders with the same sellers,
but still have not written FB for any of them.

So, receiving 97% FB from buyers is a massively impressive feat. Magical.

Not quite, his feedback for selling is "only" 5,220 - still high, almost
75%

I wonder if a Nubs pizza is better than regular pizza (like Papa Murphys, Pizza
Hut, or Domino’s). Maybe it’s worth the trade…? 🤔

In another thread perhaps, I would love to read the story of how you came to
accumulate 14,000 pounds of bulk LEGO. Was that all in one shot, or over the
course of years? Who owned it before, do you know why they gave it up? Where/how
do you store it? Do you have it sorted? I thought I had a massive backlog, but
that’s absolutely amazing.
Only if you feel like sharing, of course.

Wishing you a happy future filled with family and nature, Cory - and LEGO too,
perhaps as a hobby to enjoy rather than a business. - Carissa
