85 is our highest, with a big drop to 35 at 2nd. If I count customers from the

Are you referring to your total months' orders or the highest number of orders
ONE customer placed in your store?

Don't know how to copy the page, but:
total buyers is 2127
top buyer is 185 (but haven't gotten an order from the buyer for some time
a couple of 29s below that, then it continues to go down

The first 2 are from my city (Vienna) as well and they pick up some parts from

| Never looked at this summary before. Nothing interesting as far as number of
orders, but I did notice 12 orders to buyers not in the US even though that’s
the only place I ship. I guess they either moved or are dropshippers.

Most is 12.
Many pages of 2's and 1's of course.
I found my buying habits seem to be stuck on a core group of sellers. Most times
I've bought from the same store is 13

What do you suppose people are doing when they place 60 orders?
I mostly buy parts to complete partial sets I acquire at yard sales or in auction
lots. Even the biggest stores rarely have enough variety to get more than one
or two orders from me. Which is a shame, because there is lots of great customer
service on here that I would be happy to reward with repeat business.

Good question. Never given that much thought, either.

I mostly buy parts to complete partial sets I acquire at yard sales or in auction
lots. Even the biggest stores rarely have enough variety to get more than one
or two orders from me. Which is a shame, because there is lots of great customer
service on here that I would be happy to reward with repeat business.

Here's where I think some clarification is found: We've never been that
store.

I've been on BrickLink for a while now—exactly 7.5 years ago from today,
in fact! I mostly buy parts to build MOCs. I try to buy from different stores
to give everyone a fair chance, but it seems like it's always the same sellers
that have all of the parts I need at the best price.
I think this is part of what makes it hard to "break into the market" on BrickLink,
so to speak. you need sizable investments in inventory and labor in order to
capture a decent market share. Even when I did sell parts, orders were few and
far between. It's cheaper to buy parts from a big store that has most of
the parts you need and pay for shipping once than to buy parts from a lot of
small stores that each have only a few of the parts you need and pay for shipping
many times over, even if the parts themselves are a bit more expensive. This
is why I gave away a box of free parts on the forum a while ago. My inventory
had shrunk to the point where it was hard to generate sales, and I had no use
for these particular parts, so I figured someone else could have them.

Yeah it's almost an order a week on average. He would regularly place orders
the day after a previous order, before I could even ship the prior one. He has
slowed down recently though...
The thing I like about my repeat customer list is that 20 of the top 25 users
have purchased from me in the last year, 14 in the last 6 months and 7 in 2022.
To me that indicates that I am moving in the right direction.

Sure, I get it. I'm not really a "best deal" kind of vendor. Never have been

But what I meant by "surprised" is that I've not reciprocated with a buy
from you, yet. Something I tried to practice in the past.

My prices aren't exactly low either. I don't often expect too many orders
from the veterans on this forum considering they probably know cheaper options
or are more apt to wait for the good deals. I like to think my customer service
and high selection make up for the prices though.

| Little jealous of how many repeat buyers you have. I've got 1273 more individual

Is there a pattern forming here: Members selling on both sites having a higher
rate of buyers returning over on Law's site? If so, is it because there's
fewer vendors to select from over there?
Though maybe it's too small a sampling to reach any such conclusion.

Yes, this is certainly the case for me. I would guess that around 25% of my orders
are from repeat customers over there.
