I was wondering what the cheapest way to get lego brisks if you want to sell
they on bricklink. Is it the in-store pick a brick cup... the online version
or other bricklink sellers?

Cups can be good, but you are limited to what they have there. Online version
has better selection but some parts cost more on there.

What I've found to be best is sets on sale from shops/supermarkets. Buying
4 or more of a set gives you good Qty of parts to start with moving to larger
Qty's as you can afford more. My first sets I got at half price and now I
look for a 2.5/3 times increase on value.

You can search YouTube for how all this is done.

Get lucky with ebay bids and shopgoodwill.com
Also... I made a deal with a Bricks and Minifigs owner that has way too much
unsorted bulk stock where I basically sort his bulk and get paid in bulk.
Get creative

I hear there's a beach in the UK where LEGO pieces just wash up on shore.

Sadly not anymore, I keep looking in case a new batch breaks free from it’s seabed
container.

I live only a few miles from some of the beaches.

Not sure how this works in the UK, but in the USA, public schools and universities
have to put discarded items up for auction. I've been lucky and got a bunch
of Technic parts and old NXT kits for next to nothing from one of these auctions.
They don't come up often, but I'm always checking when I get the chance.
