| Hi,
I'm thinking about selling more used bricks from my private collection in
my shop.
Currently I have 98% new and 2% used parts so it's quite easy for me to organize
by putting all used parts in a separate drawer, no matter what they look like.
Used parts are roughly sorted by type: brick, tile, technic and so on.
I wonder how other sellers organize their new and used lots.
Do you put them in the same parts bin, separated in different bags (new vs. used)
or do you have two separate systems, one with new and one with used parts?
Or something else?
All thoughts welcome!
Martin

| Personally for me, two seperate systems in two different physical locations.
Just to eleminate any risk of mixing the two. It does mean it can create a space
issue.

Hi Martin,
I sort by orders by the remarks, I put a location in the remarks for all items,
as this sort is done alphabetical. I labelled my drawers by brick type (ie Bricks
are in B1-1 or B3-4) This makes it so all pieces are together when pulling, however
used fell in the middle (before wedges, etc.) So I placed a Z in front of all
used drawers than all the used pieces end up at the end. I repeat the rest after
the Z (eg ZB1-1 is used bricks). For things I wanted at the beggining of the
picklist (for me minifigures) get an _ before their location.
Hopefully this gives you an idea to help arrange your pieces.
Tyson.

I have more new than used (except where minifigs are concerned) so while I have
them in separate cabinets I have more new drawers than used, and the used parts
aren't categorized as finely.

I keep them in separate bins. Way too risky by putting them together.

My shop has fairly even quantities of New and Used. They are kept absolutely
separate: bags, bins, and shelves. I pull them separately and pack them separately.
Each set of bins is marked with a bright color so I don't confuse them while
I am working. I sound a bit obsessive I think...

| I hope not, because I do the same thing.

I keep them separate.
When I used to sell all sorts of parts, new and used, I stored in different locations.
The used less finely sorted and more in baggies in bins.
The new more finely sorted and in smaller parts trays etc.
When selling both in one order, I pack new and used in separate bags and note
a big N or U on the baggie.
Indicating Used or New.
Good luck,
Maxx
