Hi everyone!

I was scrolling through the forum and came across: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1271476

I saw that wildchicken13 sold 307 chickens (Item No: 95342pb01) in one order
which I thought was strange and honestly hilarious. It made me wonder what type
of random, in excess quantities, orders have others sold?

So post below and make me laugh! Screenshots are welcome lol

Take care ya'll!

Don't worry; there are plenty more for sale. They are not cheap, though

The same seller bought almost all my random stickered parts and my bin-found
Bionicle/Hero Factory parts in two back-to-back orders recently. I believe they
put them for sale in their store and it’s fine with me even if I can’t fathom
how they will make a profit out of them because of the shipping costs I charged
them. Also I don’t get why they left some alone.

It was a fun experience and it did great for my storage though! 👌

I had someone buy 850 parts in 650 lots not too long ago which was about 1/3
of my lots at the time. Thought it a bit odd to just place an order like that
without any message trying to get a deal or anything. Assume he was just turning
them around to sell at a mark-up, but I got what I thought they were worth so
I'm happy.

The biggest order I have ever placed is 15,906 parts 4,283 lots. At that point
I feel it becomes more of a hassle than something that I am helping them with
so I never feel right asking for a discount.

Not the most random order but a nice one. 400 tires at nearly 0.15 each. I spent
0.02 each on them from a store in Europe. I guess that shows how having bulk
quantities help prices, especially for US sellers.

We kept stocking up on these until we had over 2,000. Nobody buys these things.
Then suddenly one day, a customer comes along and buys them all. Nothing else,
just these. Not a big order value wise, but it was pretty nice to get rid of
all of those.

And then there's always those orders that are 99% friends theme pieces and
colors and then they buy one superhero head or a piece with a skull sticker or
something.

lol I bet you never expect that one day then BOOM! Order up!

I do that too, order a lot of one theme and then will add a random minifig. Especially
with part orders, after I add everything to my cart, I usually will take a few
minutes to browse the rest of their story and see if there is anything else I
would want. I am a big minifig collector and always looking to add randoms to
my collection
