And that here is why you should have started numbering from zero: you columns
would have been 00-09, 10-19, etc.
First digit = column, second digit = row.

Of course, the day you add a row, you count from 00 to 0A.
And then you can go up to 36 rows and 36 columns, all with a two “digits” number.

All neat and well ordered. Yessir.

Well, each rack segment holds 60 trays. There is space above each rack for (4)
58qt totes, as well as about a 4" high space for large, flat storage, this is
where I store large instruction books and some large set boxes. Technically that
area is A00, I suppose. There is also space to hold an additional (4) 58qt totes
of bulk storage below each rack as well. Sections hold 20 trays, and are labelled
across A-I, 3 sections per rack segment, 3 rack segments currently, total. These
house the bulk of my New parts stock.

Bin cups in the trays are two sizes, and are moveable and configurable to handle
most any sized stock. In addition to that are 3 rolling aluminum racks that each
hold one whole section's worth of working stock trays each, to take stuff
from the sorting room table to the stockroom, and 6 rolling carts that hold (8)
58qt totes of Used, unsorted stock each, for mobility in taking stock in and
out of the sorting room. It's a cozy little operation!

  Made a video on instructions how to use the "MY REMARKS" Section for your bricklink
store inventory when parting out Lego Sets.

Hope some can find this useful!

Very nice setup, and a great help for those who are moving or thinking of moving,
into a larger inventory situation. Mine uses slightly larger trays, same type
of arrangement, but the trays are 2' deep x 1' wide x 4" tall, and I
use bin cups in them. I notate drawer number(s) a lot is in, as it's easy
enough to grab a whole tray and scan through in a few seconds to see which bin
cup they are in.

My trays are lettered horizontally by section, and numbered vertically, two columns
of trays per letter section. So A1-A10 are in column one, A11-A20 are in column
two. And while the whole thing is kind of free form, I try to maintain colors
in a column, and things like slopes in row 9-10, 1x plates in 7-8, 2x plates
5-6, etc. Thanks for the video!

You van try this program is free

Awesome!

I've just done it, and yes, you are right it is so simple....

Thank you so much!

Now I can add so much more to the catalogue!

  I have a couple stickers, still new on their backing. But when I look up the
number on the stickers, 170900 and 170910, I get multiple catalog numbers for
them:

[p=1737stk03]
[p=6815stk01]

and 4 more entries, and

[p=1737stk01]
[p=5129stk01]

and 6 more identical entries!

Now, I know this was done originally to show which set it was from, but since
these are identical, and it is even mentioned in each entry that it is identical
to the others, shouldn't they be combined?

Otherwise, how should I list these stickers? There is no way for me to know which
set they came from?

This causes a lot of issues, especially in the old 9V train stuff, since the
same sticker sheet was used across several sets too. I know it's been brought
up before, and they left things as they were

  Hi,
I'm wondering why a new set can have the flag "incomplete". Talking about
a new! set means, that it is MISB or new in openend box. Everything else
are new parts that exist in several sets or maybe only in one set. But a Star
Wars set without the rare minifigs or a Maersk train set without the train can't
be a "new set".
Why is that important?
When you take a look at the price guide you often find new sets that are much
cheaper than others. But when you check the offer you see the "incomplete" mark
within the offer.
From my point of view "new set" means complete in box with instructions and ALL
parts, nothing else. For now, the price guide for "new sets" is useless because
I am able to sell a single 1x1 tile as a new set that is incomplete.
New sets with the flag "incomplete" should be listed under parts because that
is what they are - a collection of new parts from a set.
What do you think?

Sven

My example:
 
Set No: 8487  Name: Flo's V8 Café {Cafe}
* 
8487-1 (Inv) Flo's V8 Café {Cafe}
254 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2011
Sets: Cars: Cars 2
In the Cars sets, there was not a sub-category for each of the vehicles/characters,
so in order to list them, I had to put each one as a New, Incomplete set, then
have a description as to which vehicle/character was included in sale.
