Stickers, electronic components and cloth can also be damaged by water. You might
also have mold on the instructions and/or inside of the box. Lastly, there could
be bugs that were attracted by the water and died in there.
I would open the box up and see what you're dealing with. If I were looking
for a New In Box set I wouldn't buy one with water damage unless the price
reflected it. You could always list it as New, Complete instead of New, Sealed:

Since the boxes have water damage and that can mess up instructions like you
mentioned I’d recommend opening them and selling them as open box as otherwise
you might end up selling someone some badly damaged instructions and it would
make things complicated

| Hi,
Sorry but:
You can’t advertise items that are not for sale in a store.
You need to open a store.
And, yes, you need some feedback first and that means buying something.
These are the rules.

| HI there I'm thinking selling on this website. I wanted to ask a few questions
about it however.
#1 I have "Complete" sets, but there're original bricks are scattered

I put the sets back together again from my vast lego box?
|
Yes you can list this as "Used, Complete" if the instructions are
missing you must state this in the description
|
#2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in
a box of other minis, and never been played with and still shinny and unscratched?
|
Must be listed as "Used"

okay then another question, what started me on this was when I found my 20th
anniversary Lando figure still in great shape, and upon looking at the going
rate for him amounting at 45-50 dollars for him complete with stand, I was blown
away! so is he worth more with or without his set?
|
The figure alone sold 81 times the last 6 months while the set only sold 18 times
both in used condition
|
If you have the set I would sell it with him to make it complete
|
ok thanks!

I think it’s ok so long as the colours are the same and the variants are the

No, if you sell those as new you will be in trouble. You can only sell figs as
new if they are straight from the bag or assembled and put STRAIGHT into storage.

so long as what you have matches the bricklink invenoty there is nothing wrong
with selling a used set even if you parted it together from a big box

you can only sell minifigres as new if they are handled only for sorting and

they are no longer new

a box of other minis, and never been played with and still shinny and unscratched?
any help is appreciated! I would just like to know the "Dos and don'ts"
of selling LEGO's
Cheers Cy Kill's Garage!

GO to "Edit Order" (at bottom of the order page), there set the payment
status to unpaid. Then you should be able to cancel.

Personally, as a buyer I wouldn’t expect the alternative heads unless specified
but not everyone is like that so i can understand how that may be an issue.
I’d say sell them with the alt heads as that may be a selling point for some
instead of selling them separately, that’s just me though.

list it based off the bricklink inventory. if you want you can include the alternate
heads/hair as bonuses but not as replacements and they are not expected.

| I received this email from BrickLink:
[Action required] Deadline has been extended to August 4, 2024
"Hello Give.Me.A.Brick,
Your deadline to enable distance selling has been extended to August 4, 2024*.
We want to remind you that you have reached the EUR 10,000 distance selling threshold
on BrickLink for the 2024 calendar year and may need to enable distance selling.
The new EU Marketplace rules went into effect on July 1, 2021 indicating that
any seller with more than EUR 10,000 worth of distance sale of goods must register
with their local tax authorities and charge the VAT rate of the buyer's country.
You will need to register for either One Stop Shop (OSS) or in each individual
EU Member State where you sell on BrickLink. Once you obtain your OSS ID number
or the VAT IDs for the countries you transact in, you can then enable distance
selling on BrickLink.
To enable distance selling, go to the Value Added Tax (VAT) section on the Store
Settings Management page.
Go to Store Settings Management page
If no action is taken, your selling abilities on BrickLink within the EU Member
States (other than your home nation) will be blocked until the end of the next
calendar year. During this time you can still register and enable distance selling.
To learn more about distance selling, please see the European Commission article
on this topic.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team
*11:59pm ET"
I already have registered for OSS and Distance Selling enabled since late 2022
so I'm confused if there's anything further I need to do?

Beyond SezaR's guidance, you might encourage your buyer in moving forward
to activate that notification (link) feature on their My Action Items page too:
https://www.bricklink.com/mySettings.asp
They should appreciate the tip.

Ask to search the id of the item inside your store
Or hover to “my bl” where there is a link to items reserved for buyer (items
reserved by all sellers if there is any other seller who reserved an item for
him)

| Hey All,
I am giving some serious consideration to selling all my stock and storage and
closing down my store just because I am having trouble finding the time to keep
up with it.
This is the current stock level...
Total 68,114 items in 4,566 lots in 171 categories.
My store inventory total value (Original Price): GBP 8,691.49
My store inventory total value after sale (Category Average): GBP 8,691.49
Most of it is parted out and there is a few complete sets
I also have...
26 x 60 drawer storage units each drawer has 2 parts these cost £34 each total
£884
86 Clip lock style containers of 4 different sizes costing around £300 for all
150 Takeaway size containers costing about £30 for the lot.
Most of the Lego in the store is new and I also have available loads of used
Lego that is my own collection.
Everything is organised using a bar code system and I also have a small bar code
scanner that can go with it.
If anyone is interested in making an offer please get in touch. Only serious
offers please.

What if I purchase them for 50 cents and relist them on BrickLink at the now
current price?

That was exactly my thought when I read her post thinking that if she parted
out 10 sets and sold the 10 helmets for one buck each then someone would probably
buy them and turn around and relist them at the 6 month sales average of six
bucks each.

| Sad to read your husband left this realm already....
Hope you (and your next of kin) are coping alright.
Regarding the Lego, here's my advice, as I think you are not planning on
starting a shop here, but want to pass the Lego on to another AFOL/seller/collector
here.
Contact some UK regional sellers directly through the BL-sytem. Explain what
you want, provide the listings so they can asses the collection. And make you
an offer.
Here's a list of the top sellers in England, UK, you might want to contact:
https://www.bricklink.com/memberList.asp?stateID=10270&countryID=UK&v=3&viewUserType=2
If you want a second opinion on any offer you are given by any seller, I'll
be happy to help you. Just send me the inventory listings (what file type do
you have it in? hopefully XLM, CSV or BrickStore ).
Best of luck and hope this helps!

Sorry for your loss.
If your looking for your looking for the absolute easiest way to sell it I’d
recommend selling it by the pound on a local marketplace, if your fine with a
little more work there are several options such as registering on bricklink so
you can better show the inventory and just set a min buy high enough so people
can only buy everything and then put the parts 50%-70% below the 6-month average
and you shouldn’t have to to much difficulty selling it in bulk in 1 go. Or you
might have some luck joining a selling group on Facebook or something and seeing
if you can sell it there

You really think sellers are checking the pricing and availability of every item
in a part out? They set it 'just below the 6 months average' and click
the button.
|
When I part out a set and set to 6 month average I globally check the prices.
When I see a high price for a particular brick I always check the price guide
to get a better idea and sometimes I also check the sets the part is coming in.
I agree that not every seller is doing this.
|
By the way, if everyone keeps doing that, the prices will all hit bottom. Like
every book on amazon costing $.99
|
I don't think so. Most parts that have a high sales volume have a fairly
consistent price. The most important factor for prices going down hill is when
they come available in pick-a-brick, e.g. the 1x2 masonry brick in lbg.

Keep in mind that not all sellers are looking for a quick sale on all their stocked
items. If you have lots of stock of a part and/or can replenish that stock quickly
and easily then yes you may want to price competitively or perhaps even below
market value. Same goes for wanting to clear out stock that you feel holds little
long term potential but takes up precious storage space
However sellers may also want to price well above market value where the part
is not widely available at cheap pricing within their own country/region also
they may not envisage being able to easily stock that part ever again and therefore
see more value in these parts compared to their competitors. Basically they are
in it for the long term waiting game but that's not to say there isn't
still potential for it to sell sooner alongside other more competitively priced
items stocked within that same store (In short not everything in your store needs
to be super competitive to generate orders but it helps to have atleast some
competitively priced and unique items)
Sometimes I might price items high simply because they're not my usual parts
and so I don't have a very organized storage solution for them therefore
if it ends up taking me forever to find at least I know I sold it for good money!
(Time is sometimes more important)
Also take a GWP set... Once they flood the market they can sell for next to nothing
but just because most other sellers want to sell their GWP's cheaply for
a quick sale there is nothing wrong with listing them well above market value
and being in it for the long haul especially since sets generally require more
time and effort to process as well as needing a visit to post office therefore
if I'm going to sell a set then I'd personally rather make it worth my
effort and time!
