If i were to ever start a BrickLink Store, i would only sell Parts that i would buy myself. Basically like you said, things you would be ok with having leftover.
That is the fail safe answer. You cannot go wrong only buying stuff you like. We have talked about this in other topics unrelated to LEGO such as comic books, trading cards, diecast toys and other collectibles.
These are actually the type of video why I rejoined your channel! Talking about Bricklink, picking an order and just say what's on your mind :)
I sometimes get a 1 cent peace and pay 3 eur shipping lmao im so sorry
When I was first starting out I would sell the minifigs on Ebay since the turn over was higher. Let me get capital back to build the store faster
I always pick a store selling a lot of a specific part that I need for a MOC but after adding that I always go through looking for extra things I could use. I’m always adding single piece lots to my order which is why lot limited stores don’t work for me. Today I placed an order for 500 1x4 bricks and added 34 more lots most being single or a couple items. I’m always building large Mocs so I’ll definitely check out your store on my next order.
My tip would be part out sets with licensed minifigs i.e. Star Wards or Superheros. Buy used lots with mainly bricks, plates, tiles - in my small store, standard building parts sell most frequently (although not necessarily for the most money)
It's not my store, but there is something weirdly satisfying about you getting empty drawers. I would love to place an order with you but postage to the UK, is a bit expensive. Which isn't your fault. Keep the PABLOs coming 👍🏻
Great photos with TheymightbeBricks on that roller coaster. One of my favorite things to do on those rides is to pose during photos. Thanks, Bricktsar for all your insights into Bricklink.
i really enjoyed you, completing that order it was actually fun, plz do more
#bat Why don't you put different pieces in the same drawer? For instance, you have a lot of drawers that have less than 5 pieces. Why not put them together? If the pieces are different enough, you could easily separate them.
Nice to see you get lots of order's on bricklink and nice information! Speaking about millennium falcon we finally seen solo yesterday, which was pretty awesome! Also are Six flags in So Cal, had one of your rides in which I went on back in the 90's. It 's called Z force and they changed it to flashback, it really gave me whiplash!
Oh man! I still remember them putting that ride in Six Flags and then taking it out. When they took it out they drained the lake. We had to "rescue" some fish that got stranded in the mud (they would stink if they died). One of the funniest things I ever saw was my workmate Jeff chasing a giant carp that was skimming across the mud. Wish we had cameras handy back then.
I buy a lot of clearance items. My best luck has been selling sets sealed vs parts. Had one parts order and the buyer asked to cancel it because they didn't expect shipping to be so high. It was $1.40 and I was probably robbing myself on it. But I carry on and it has helped me put cash toward stuff I want.
What a peculiar set of parts! I have no idea what they could be building with that? That was a great #BAT, really useful for people considering to do Bricklink but have low budgets! As I keep saying, I'm loving these PABLO videos!
It would be cool if you could make some recommendations for overhead related items that someone should get before setting up a BrickLink store.
Re. small orders, my best is 1 x 2p piece posted from UK to Canada.
I can't remember if it was on one of your videos or someone else's but I recall it being said that the Tower Bridge set 10214 is a good set to start with for parting out because it has lots of the same parts in large quantities and because a lot of them are tan parts they are of interest to Star Wars MOC builders.
Just give the one part away of they order 19 and leave 1, gives you a good karma and usually a good feedback and leaves your drawers free. Or make a bigger box and call it 'one part box' and dump it all in there :)
I often feel bad when I buy up the last part/parts of a seller's piece, but maybe I should stop feeling bad from now :)
No. I had someone come through and leave 1 part in many of my drawers and I wondered why. As a seller it is bothersome to have just one part leftover.
@@candycrusher45 Thanks, I won't do that. Before I usually felt bad when I bought the last piece for some reason, but now I understand why that's a bad thing for a seller.
Do you know if Kevin F is still working on his Emire State Building? Do you have any contact with him?
To get the number of items left is it under management
Another question that can go with this one. When and at what price should you add a minimum order price.
I started by taking parts from my large collection and sold them so all the money I made was profit
You talked about buying clearance items. So do you buy complete sets and then split them up to sell as individual pieces?
Hey Joseph, with your issue of having one part per drawer, would you not review your store where you look at everything you have one part of then see if you have the same part but different again only one off then just put both items into the one drawer thereby making it easier. ie two 2x4 bricks one in red one in black just but them in one drawer, thereby freeing up drawers.
That is a very good idea. We did a live stream tonight and apparently a lot of people took it upon themselves to by lots of 1 item - lol! We cleared about 100 drawers today!
Hi once you empty a draw I assume you place different parts in that draw. How do you then change the item on brick link ??. Do you have to erase and then list new item.
It goes automatically, when there are no more pieces in a lot, you can choose a setting in BL that makes the lot disappear from that drawer and therefore makes place for a new lot. So the settings in BL do that for You.
#BAT Do you think that it's better to sell just minifigures and polybags on bricklink or ebay? I have 100s of figures extra from buying sets for MOCing parts and polybags from clearance sales.
How many pieces would you say are in an average order?
I think buying few lots in high quantitys on the PaB wall
The biggest problem I’ve had selling other things online is calculating shipping from Canada.
hi i can tell you you are right there are lego fans working on big moc's you know the 2x4 drak gray bricks i had to stop selling them. i was getting ton's of emails
asking for them in in big numbers 1000- 5000 as space fillers in moc's the lego shop were not happy me buying them they are ok 4 cups 15 cups they not happy
they said no last year i went a round 5 lego shops in the uk all the gray bricks i had from the shops 2x4 2x6 20 full cups in the end for my moc
small parts take alot of time i used to be like you bricktsar keep up the good work
Interesting
What are those storage drawers called? And how would I find the same kind of thing in England? Maybe if you have a link, or search term, for a USA website, I can find one in the UK.
I have some similar, I think it was Walmart, maybe home depot or lowes.
Amazon, mate.
How do you know what drawer to go to to fulfill an order. Does bricklink let you input your drawer number?
Clownfish Farm This is a rather old comment but i’ll still answer.
Yes you can.
You ever wonder what people are building....i think he was just emptying your drawers...😁....anyway I do think about opening a store...i love just sorting out parts ..but I don't have the space you have....
#bat I buy a lot of LEGO at yard sales and second hand stores. I was thinking about opening a brick link store to sell the items I don’t need or want. Is it easier to sell new or used LEGO?
What ever is the lower price tends to get sold faster, which is typically used parts.
what kind of trays are this on 7:29? thanks!
Those are a discontinued item that was sold in LEGO stores and came in storage containers sold at Toys R Us
@@BrickTsar Looks great. Do you know any others like that?
@@BrickTsar By the way is it a official lego part or third-party product? I'd love to get some for my class ))
Thanks for the video. Sorting and selling is not for me I've decided. It seems like you will always end up with a crap load that won't sell and you can't just make a clean getaway without losing money.
Thanks - makes it easier for the rest of us that aren’t having any problems
hi you are on 4k video just seen it
Really? What is that?
Do you have a shop? I've only ordered one time and I got scammed. If you do I couldn't find it
The whole video is about it - links all over my channel and description
Is selling on BrickLink your full time job or just a side income?
It’s a side hobby
friend can you send legos to Argentina?
When they are purchased I can. Very expensive to ship
@@BrickTsar how can i contact you ?
Hey bricktsar, your comment hot fratured again in the latest LEGO lab news thingy again, your on there pretty frequently
Lego Man 12345 12345 yea - I think it’s because I actually watch the videos - lol! A lot of the comments they get aren’t answering the questions they ask. So it makes it easier to get featured
Lego Man 12345 12345 and is it weird that I love LEGOLab but totally dislike Rebrickulous?
@@BrickTsar Yeah, I prefer LEGO lab above rebrickulous as well. I think it's because rebrickulous is more wastefull, which is a thing I don't like to see with anything. That's also why I watch you alot, you are more careful and respectful to items and not just waste them.. Look I can ramble too, alot, without even speaking
Dream.....LEGO start selling ALL their bricks at £11.24 (VIP) a tub,post free!
I’m not selling my legos bruh
Nintender Tapes u could make profit and buy more lego. Btw it’s LEGO not legos how do people still get that wrong?
@@matschbirne5363 I love legos
I know you dont like this but First Comment!!
