Buying Privileges - OK
Hi everyone,

I have a Stud.io build that's just about complete, however its on a rather
large scale. It has just over 138,000 pieces, made up of approx 630 separate
items.

When trying to price it up, Stud.io just doesn't seem to be able to cope
with the request and won't progress any further than identifying various
stores (worldwide to enable best coverage). Does anyone else have this issue,
and if so, how do you get around it?

Also, and this might be me thinking way too far outside the box, is there a service
that would do the legwork for compiling such a large-sized inventory where a
company or individual would take care of the logistics (i.e. bringing the procurement
of the invetory together into one delivery)?

Thanks in advance!!

Why not create 20 wants lists, each about 30 lots. You are looking at a few hundred
pieces on average per lot so this is not going to be fulfilled by hobby sellers.

Is there a company that will do this? I doubt it, it is way too niche.

There are for sure.

If you are in hurry as a client, it can become very expensive.

If you are not in a hurry, it is affordable.
And it is very fun to do.

I've had several projects running simultaneously with different cliënts.
Ranging from MOC Brickheadz to large Architectural MOC's and back to custom
made cars.
When combining multiple projects, the shipping costs go down.
You still need to watch on the expenses and no, there's NO big profit to
be made.
And when you have some projects of your own, you can share the shipping fees.

So, yes, it can be done!
