| We part out between 100 and 200 sets (across most themes) per year to add to
our inventory. For 12 years now two themes have dominated the return on part
out. We know why – their minifigures are at the high end of the pricing spectrum.
After that it Is a bit of a ‘guess which theme is where in the ranking’’. The
two top themes are of course. Star Wars and Super Heroes. Does anyone else look
at this in the same way
We realise return is based on what you pay for the sets and the timing of the
part out, but would be interested to hear about other stores views/experiences.

Part out value on paper or return from actual subsequent sales?
When you sell common parts from these sets you monitor which sets they are from?
If they just sit in your inventory then they they are not really adding any value
to the partout.
No good having a nice set partout value if it doesn't all sell evenly

Agreed - we do as much as we can with tracing but that is not always easy due
to the size of our inventory - the 'paper value' is important to us and
as we stock large quanties of standard parts as well as the minfigs and never
reduce prices (No sales in 12 years) and we are shifting 250000 parts per annum,
I think we are close
