| Good afternoon, honestly I am highly concerned with sales, this month we have
a drop of 66% compared to last year, having in our store twice as much material
and with the same terms of sale, I do not know if the same thing happens to you,
but since the beginning of the year it is not stopping to fall sales, honestly
if it continues like this this will become unsustainable at a professional level.

I can’t speak for everyone else, but it has been the same way with me. In fact,
I haven’t had any orders in over a month. I am a smaller store, but in the time
of 2 months I have over 30 orders, and then it just suddenly stopped… it seems
people have stopped buying lately…

I’m in the USA lol

Unfortunately, it's the same story here. The amount of orders has somewhat
restored in the last few days, but they are all small orders. I see the same
with other sellers around me. Having the most variety of parts seems to be getting
the most orders.

On Bricklink the sales have always been small but steady. I have sold a number
of sets on Ebay and Kijiji lately. June has actually been my best month so far,
including the Christmas rush. I have only been selling seriously since October
so I don't have a comparison from last year. Sorry to hear its not going
so well for everyone. A couple buyers did mention that I have a wide variety,
no minimum buy and no extra fees.
Good luck to you all,
Sandra

| Small hobby store here and actually more orders than last year for me.

| My sales were really high in April, but have dropped down significantly since.
I know this is typical for summer months, so hopefully things will pick back
up in the fall.

| #1 The summer slump is normal
#2 With the costs of essentials being more expensive, people have less $ for
luxury goods.

June started out at a good rate of sales for me, but seems to have slowed down
a bit in the past week.
A summer slowdown seems to be fairly normal. My records show July is historically
my slowest month, but then I usually close the store for a week for vacation.
I think many people did their heavy Lego buying in April and May.
I'm not worried about this since I know sales will pick up again by September.
In the meanwhile I know I can generate more sales by adding new stock to inventory.

Well, this: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1346237 happened to at least
two of us.
Maybe it’s a worldwide phenomenom….

| During “off season” slumps in sales become more frequent. Just a week or 2 ago
I had 5ish orders a day now I’ve had 1 or 2 small orders in the past 72 hours
on bricklink. But a bonus of slow sales is there’s more time to list!

Same here.

I know where it is; it's where there's this giant monitor with zillions
of pixels and plenty of blue.
Don't use it often, though

I wonder if What Not, a new auction app, is cutting into sales any?
