I’m just here to see Keith crack on with the bits and bobs.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for helping me out last week with the dark Green plates for my customer. It’s greatly appreciated 👍
No problem 👍
Evening. Nice mug! That, and the supporting of other Bricklink sellers, is always a nice reminder of how the greater Lego community comes together / shows appreciation.
In Lego news, my Invisible Hand has finally turned up (the rest of the order came several days ago) and I have assembled; it is a good build and a nice model (eventually all of my official purchases end up in the parts bin, but this one will be around for a while!).
Road resurfacing is always an interesting time….I speak from personal experience….
On the K+D/ D+K music channel, music listening has been mostly confined to the car this week, and comes from the letter “G”. So we have Ghost (and their last album Impera), Ghost Machine (Scissors, a prog take on an abusive relationship, a challenging listen but one of my favourite new discoveries of last year), and Guilt Machine ( another side project of Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen; so more prog!)
Next week expecting BCC’s last album so that will be on the playlist (along with Thunder’s last album).
Isn't the Lego community the best! Everyone seems friendly, helpful and very giving. I've had some great gifts in the last year from those who follow me. Glad you've had a good week of building and found yourself a long term display model. As for road surfacing, don't get me started. Just had to move my car again in preparation for avoiding another day of being blocked in tomorrow.
In the more interesting part of the discussion :) I need to give more of a listen to Ghost, I've heard a few bits here and there but need to give them a "proper" listen. It's been an odd week for me, in that my music software of choice 'Roon' had an update this week which brought some much needed playlist functionality. As a result I have created playlists for albums missing artwork and the like which has thrown up lots of bootlegs and demos, so I've been listening to all sorts of rarities from W.A.S.P, It Bites, Francis Dunnery, Enchant (Love these guys), Doug Pinnick, Trapeze and more. I'm loving what oddities and lost classics some playlists are throwing up. Also randomly watched a documentary about Thin Lizzy and the Live and Dangerous album which has got to be my favourite live album ever (if not overall best).
Live and Dangerous is one of the definitive live albums of all time.
But, my favourite has to be Deep Purple's Made in Japan (especially when Gillan messes up the lyrics to Highway Star and laughs at Blackmore for messing up the intro to Smoke on the Water) oh and the music of course 😂.
Hi Keith, I was wondering weather you get more parts sold through BrickLink or BrickOwl, I am seeing more brickowl but I know that is an anomaly, didn’t know if it was based on the size of my store as it is quite small, also is it all minifigures that you sell on eBay - once again a brilliant vlog - keep them coming!!!
For me it’s about 60/40 in favour of BrickLink but many get a lot lower % on Brickowl. EBay is mostly minifigs for me plus poly bags and a few sets
Glad you liked the mug! Have a BRICKTASTIC week of orders . Keep up the hard work
Thanks again! It was a great gesture and much appreciated.
Thanks for the shout out. Appreciate it.
No problem 👍
Great video as always! Just finished my mid-term exams today and I've got 20 orders to catch up on. I finally took the step to set up and merge Brick Owl and BrickLink, and it's been amazing since then. I do have a question though: Is there a possibility to print all orders at once for BrickLink and Brick Owl? Like you can do on eBay? Because I find that going into each order, clicking the printer, then print, then going back a couple of times, and re-clicking on a new order, etc., gets very time-consuming. Sometimes you forget which order you just printed, so you end up with either no order or two copies of the same one.
Glad to hear things picking up for you after setting up Brickowl as well as Bricklink. Unfortunately, there is no print all option on either platform and certainly not for both platforms at same time. If you're using Brickfreedom to sync stores you could just use the order picker on there and not bother printing orders at all.
Hi
Is it still possible to make a decent income from selling Lego parts? Do you need to be a certain size to make it work? Thanks ☺️
There is money to be made, but you need to be dedicated and put in the effort. And of course, it takes investment to get started. In the early life of the store you would likely want to reinvest any profits to help its growth.
