| | As someone who has been a part of the BrickLink community for exactly one year
(joined 8/10/2021), there's been one question bouncing around in my mind
for quite a while now. Since I'm celebrating one year as a BrickLink buyer
today, I figured I would put this question out there to the veteran members of
the BrickLink community so I can finally stop puzzling over this one little thing
that's been driving me crazy for one full year now.
When I look at the 'Sets' section on the website, one of the categories
I see is 'LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO)'. My question is... what does 'CUUSOO'
actually stand for? (If someone asked that question in the past and got an answer,
well, I'm too lazy to search through years and years worth of posts in the
forum to find that answer, so please excuse me if it's been asked before.)
|
What's more interesting is the origin of that keyword. The origin of the
Ideas project is a non Lego (company wise) project and company called CUUSOO.
It's a tribute to the original project name I think.
And the first few sets of the project are very local to Japan, after switching
over to the Ideas sets become US/global market oriented.

| I've previously shared a video of my application here... Someone asked for
the program on youtube so I decided to share here too in case someone finds it
useful.
Program takes an input image and resizes it to 48x48 and uses only colors found
in the Beatles Art set to approximate the colors for the given image.
It has 3 modes,
1. Unrestricted : No limit on the amount of pieces. Best approximation but given
image can't be built with a single Beatles set (Most of the time not with
many either)
2. Unrestricted with dithering : The only difference is that dithering applied
in final image.
3. Restrict piece count : From the center of the image program processes the
image in a spiral and each color is used with best approximation and satisfying
total count for each color. In this way, center of the image is generated with
best approximation but outer perimeters may look weird. With careful selection
of source image and with some pre/post processing you can just employ a single
beatles set to create a good portrait for your liking.
It's a .net app, I've shared it on onedrive,
Here is the link : https://onedrive.live.com/?id=2BC7150DEFABA285%21136&cid=2BC7150DEFABA285
Hope someone finds it useful,
Nejat
ps: I don't know if it's against the forum rules to share programs here...

I have a plausible theory. Not illegal but I think not ethical too..
Say, 5-10 (you name it) big sellers unite and buy the same sets but share the
exclusive pieces among themselves. With rotation an exclusive fig / part / instructions
/ sticker so on goes to store 1 to store n for each iteration. Same with the
new / exclusive parts. Rest of the bulk parts may be cherry picked or simply
sold in bulk.
This way,
1. They would cut the competition among themselves.
2. Each participant would get the quantity way beyond their initial investment
3. With quantity they would have the opportunity to control the tight market.
(Set the price highest with the highest quantity... those who have only tiny
amount will skew the price to the price of the highest quantity with time)
This may not be the "trade secret" everyone mentioning.. but I think it's
possible this way...
|
That would definitely be plausible, but the issue is the notable parts in the
sets don't appear on Bricklink in the quantities that the minifigs do; say,
for Luke's Landspeeder, there aren't 200+ windscreens available in one
store, let alone across the entire catalog
These things are major red flags going overlooked, I don't want to start
the entire discussion up again, so I'll leave this as my final input
|
Likewise an elaborate new mold fig is up for sale in another site which is not
likely as a work of print. Other exclusive figures from the same set is not available
from the same store.
For the non existing 200+ windscreens,
1. Exclusive parts for big desirable sets are good candidates for investment,
maybe they were never meant to be sold from day 1
2. They would be directly consumed/sold outside of Bricklink if there is also
a consuming party in this scheme
Same with some of the minifigures, some parties may choose to keep them a certain
time before they want to sell...

| I've written this long post thinking that you are also selling the parts
of that Star Wars sets but looking at your store you only sell minifigures...
Anyways, I'm still posting it, general public may find it useful.
Each theme cater to different segment of customers. You should first conceive
the final size of your store to target the different segment of customers. And
what you part out will of course definitely affect the customer segments that
purchase from your store. If you part out cars, you'll attract people that
are building / completing / buying the missing part of a car. Same with a set
that have a building.
Another thing : most of your customers are AFOLs and male, contemporary colors
(coral, dark turquoise etc.) and colors that ascribed to female (various pink,
magenta and stuff) are difficult to sell.
There are three main things you should consider, Color, Form and Quantity/Variety
The customer segments you could conceive are :
1. Reseller : One that has a better bussiness opportunity/setup/coverage/market
to sell higher than you sell.
2. MOC Designer : People that do buy regardless of immediate use. They might
buy for their conceived project, they might buy to complete their current projects
and so on. If they are not full digital then they tend to have already large
stock of Lego so their buying habits may be seasonal.
3. Set collector/builder : Collecting missing/all parts of the sets they want
to build. Main consumption segment for Lego as they would possibly end up displaying
the set they build unlike designers taking apart and reusing it in another place.
4. Figure/Animal collector : Not much to say to describe this segment. For the
minifigures : the main sources are the licensed sets. For animals : Mainly Friends,
City sets.
5. Technic designers : I'll just ignore this segment too for this post.
And in general, selling parts especially on Bricklink seems to be the easiest
to make a few sales but on the long run it's the hardest and the most labour
intensive way to sell Lego. The good thing : You'll more or less will always
appeal to all these main segments even with small quantity of stock because even
with a relatively low piece count set you'll see that you can't always
get all the parts from a single store. And with the variety of parts in Lego
sets you'll always have a few parts that will attract the other customer
segments above.
1. Color
There are colors that sell well, those classic colors mainly (white, black, yellow,
blue, red, green, both grays) but some of these colors have very high utilization
rate and have very low ownership time (kids sets, child grows and the set finds
itself in the used market) so that sell very cheap. (This is not a fact, just
my thinking by the way)
Off all these colors mainly light bluish gray stands out, it seems that every
lego enthusiast needs LBG in some way or another... If you see a set with rich
gray content and with a good part out ratio, go for it.
Then comes the white, black and a certain degree of green for certain parts...
From the other colors, IMHO, these are the colors that are much more popular
than other colors :
Dark Red, Reddish Brown, Tan, Dark Tan, All sorts of transparent colors and metallic
colors.
Lego is the depiction of the world, so popular/widely available colors in the
world reflects themselves in the popular/widely available colors in the Lego
world too. (Classic colors era is a bit exception like the currently imposed
sex-neutral colors like coral and stuff)
What you should note : Certain colors will
2. Form
Common bricks, plates and other building elements : Applies to all segments and
always in high demand if not in abundance of supply. Quantity would be the drawing
factor for the resellers / MOC designers.
Utensils : Applies to all segments and always in high demand if not in abundance
of supply. Quantity would be the drawing factor for the resellers.
Weapons : Applies to all segments and always in high demand if not in abundance
of supply. Quantity would be the drawing factor for the resellers.
Windows / Doors... all sorts of stuff pertaining to structures : Again applies
to all segments but will attract MOC designers if you supply in quantity.
A set collector/builder will purchase through a wanted list most of the time
unlike a designer which then other parts in your store if you have either stock
or price correct. List above could be extended and more refined but that should
be compiled by a computer rather than a human I think 
Lost of things you'll encounter about form in your Lego selling journey,
some like
The love for the masonry bricks
People need all sorts of colors for the different shape&size tiles/shiny surfaces
and sometime in less favorable colors
People need to connect their new road plates in their cities with 2x4 dark bluish
gray tiles which are not always abundant
Large plates in different colors always in good demand
etc. etc..
Remember though all the things I've written above and down below are just
informations as operating a business is just a different endeavour one should
handle with his/her insights & financials & strategies... Like all sorts of similar
world meta a certain lego piece / set / figure has speculative, consumptive and
tradable characteristics which would also shape the way of operating your Lego
business.
3. Quantity/Variety
I combined these two together because the two are equally important. Depending
on your envisioned store size and targeted segment of customers different combinations
of these will work. You can target designers/resellers for example even with
low variety and high quantity. High variety, high quantity will work good for
all segments but definitely need much more capital and management capability.
On these front you are alone with your business skills.
And Theme wise, from my experience...
4+ sets : Mostly stay away type of sets as they don't usually have parts
that caters to set collectors/builders. Exception: When they have good and in
quantity licensed figures. Large / complex parts are only viable if employed
in future favorable design or in some obscure design.
To note another thing : Simplicity, Reusability, Need in Quantity and the supply/rarity
are the main factors that drive the market price of the parts, the same way it's
the deciding factor for the designers as well.. Exception: a rare complex/less
reusable part's use in a MOC design or future favorable Lego design.
City : Rich in classic colors, will surely attract set collectors/builders that
want to complete their classic sets. Parts are in abundance and in relatively
good demand. Downside : Parts are cheaper then same form different color. Big
sets have parts that would complete other sets from more favourable themes. Note:
Recents sets have a different choice of colors which I think doesn't fit
very well in any of the above customer segment's appreciation.
Friends : Rich in white color, structural parts. The overall percentage of favourable
colors is the deciding factor to buy an part out a Friends set, color theme generally
doesn't suit well to wide segments of customers. Sets with nature scenes
have good reddish brown content. Minidolls performs way bad then city figures
but the animals are in good demand.
Disney : Good source for lavish structural stuff. Good pearl gold content. Minidolls
from these sets I guess much more favorable.
Ninjago : Good blend of classical and recent favourable colors but depending
on the set has less reuse possibility for parts especially big dragon sets. Good
thing about those sets is though they are symmetrical so that you always end
up with 2x, 4x of some parts. Elaborate parts like dragon wings and stuff not
always sell well. Figures sure better than city counterparts even some surpassing
star wars/marvel/dc popularity (akita for ex.). Ninjago is a good source of weaponry
though it oversupplies it with both new and used markets. Being esentially Near
adolescent+20 years theme sure takes attention from AFOLs but AFOLs tend to favour
larger sets. With oriental architechture they don't seem to cater for every
designer out there. Also rich in pearl gold stuff. A good source for certain
rare colors. (Dark green for example)
Brickheadz : Has good parts for more Brickheadz, lots of shiny surfaces (tiles,
slopes) when in quantity. Rich in snot design elements. A curse to 2x2 Bright
Pink Brick.
Classic : Excess stock of Lego poured down onto the newcomers. Mostly contains
unfavourable colors in quantities and favourable colors in tiny quantities.
Advent Calendars : Since they contain microbuilds they are most of the time rich
in snot design elements (studs on 2 sides 3 sides etc.) that are used in tiny
details. Don't count on them though as Lego sells the same elements through
Pick a Brick. Also has a good quantity of exclusive figures.
Harry Potter : Overally has good form & color. Figures tend to be overcrowded
and saturated. A good source for certain rare colors. (Some dark,sand green for
example)
Minecraft : Rich in Bricks & Plates in established colors. Figures doesn't
seem to sell well but Minecraft fans are not AFOLs yet.
Creator 3 in 1 : Same thoughts as Classic
DC & Marvel : You should mainly think about the figures for these sets, then
comes the parts. Some Marvel sets rich in dark blue which doesn't well fit
into other themes so easily. Adults take the figures and toss the parts so....
Star wars : A good mixture of both form & color and minifigures are sought for,
what else can you expect? Main source to cater for the Light bluish gray greed
Also has nearly exclusive big parts that both do sell well and can be speculated
for price appreciation.
Creator expert : Minus the figures like Star Wars has good combination of both
form and color.
To sum it up : Parts selling (as I understood some 2 years of selling here) is
not as simple as : "See the high partout ratio (name some multiplicant here**),
partout and dump it onto Bricklink" . You should understand your targeted customers
needs, and your financial abilities to decide what to part out in how many quantities
to sell here...
** : Always approach with caution for new sets with high partout ratios as they
tend to contain rare but low market color/parts which may bloat the overall partout
ratio.

| | Instances of abuse go both ways, it seems. Consider this store:
https://store.bricklink.com/Bricks4Pieces?itemID=298895978#/shop?o={%22showHomeItems%22:1}
Their minimum shipping cost is $11, and most of their lots are priced at $0.0025.
It is impossible to place an order that benefits anyone but the seller here
because none of the lots have more than 2 pieces available, and there is a 20
lot limit.
Every order is potentially 1,000% profit. Looking at the frequency of buyer feedback,
people seem to be incredibly happy at being ripped off.
The consequence to the price guide is a net reduction in averages, whether you
go by current items for sale, or quantity average sold, the price guide is negatively
impacted. Meanwhile the seller is profiting off of the misdirection.
You cannot list an item like this in any other marketplace. Amazon, for example,
would flag this as a pricing error and deactivate all listings. Do it enough
and they'd terminate your selling privileges.

This particular store seems to be suspended after being the subject of discussion
here.
What about this store ? https://store.bricklink.com/zickan#/shop?o={%22sort%22:6,%22itemType%22:%22P%22,%22catID%22:%225%22,%22showHomeItems%22:0}
It provides multiple cheap 1 piece per lot parts.. but average lot value is €1
so buyer should compensate the difference by buying another lot of at least ~€2
euro in value.
Is this a good practice?

If the need is simply pricing though I would suggest consolidating as usual but
keeping the new stock quantities marked in the remarks. With the retain option
I would check items depleting and hence moving into stockroom A and then refill
manually from the remarks & reprice along the way.

If you differentiate the description field consolidate option will consolidate
matching the descriptions. For ex. for one lot empty, filled for another.
If you follow this route you'll face the bug I encountered and reported (alas

Well, no need to close it down... This page could be made much more user friendly...
With a shortcut filling the list here like "Add this part/figure/set to multi

Once you add enough parts then you can go to the search part and do the actual

If your used (assuming you mean used) parts pertain to a sets or sets. Finding
distinct parts from those sets / identifying the set and then parting out is
not so tedious.
If you have only few of the parts from those sets checking "Exclude all items
from upload by default" simplifies the job to uncheck those parts that exist
at hand. On the contrary if you have most of the parts from that set then you
can leave the option as is and check the parts that exist at hand.
The difficult but most entertaining part is the identification part though.

This method works, but I'd make a couple of extra suggestions.
Add a part in a category you do not have other parts in, and price it at 100
$ / Euro/whatever.
Select only that category.
Do all the above to have a go repricing this expensive non-existing item.
Then when you understand what to do for all categories, delete the expensive
(and hopefully now repriced) item.
If you want to be ultra careful, you can also close your store while you do it.
|
Before doing such great changes I think it's wise to get the backup of the
inventory first. (Download function in the inventory page)
Btw, I didn't use it in large scale of my inventory, I just tested on 1 category
that contained a single item. (A gift card)
I like these kind of mathematical escape sequences Bricklink provides, if it's
logical mathematically then the interface allows it. Similar to this, you can
part out a negative quantity of a set to pull it out of your store.
Possibly for a good reason it doesn't allow quantities to be negative which
is sometimes required for lost parts. Still the interface is mostly logical and
sound.

grouped together in a much better way, saving plastic and time (for them and
me!).
|
We do pack with individual bags too if lot value&quantity justifies using a sealed
bag. We put same part / different color lots into the same bag if the bag is
big enough to fit all of them.
Pros for us,
- It's easier to double check the order after it's ready.
- Reduces the chances of missing parts
- We can arrange the placement of shiny / decorated parts so that they don't
get rubbed to each other..
- With the extra container bag (we use numbered bags from actual sets) movement
of the pieces in the final pack is nearly zero
- Gives the customer the sense of care (sure we do)
Cons for us
- It's costly
- It takes extra time to open and seal the small bags.
For the customer; No one complained for individual bags but we have lots of feedback
praising our packing.
That's for new parts, for used parts we do dump them in numbered bags and
label them as used with a sticker. Still, we bag tiles / figures / decorated
parts individually for used too.
*There is no way to formally submit this request but customer can send a message
before paying and request that individual bags not to be used for packing.
*: It would be nice if there existed options for the shop to setup which customer
chooses at the time of order. Like this packing option / gift packing or packing
batches individually etc...

That wedge doesn't seem to be existing in dark gray color,
Brick 2 x 2 x 3 seems to be existing in two sets in dark gray color, you can
check if there are additional distinctive parts in your bulk lot
75 2 x 2 x 3 slope (if I'm seeing right) will tell it's age if it has
solid studs or hollow studs... according to catalog it doesn't exist in dark
gray color with solid studs...
ps: I might be wrong in any or all of the above guesses since it's just 1.5
years that I'm into Lego.
