Store Closed Store: Marble Bricks SALE!
Hey everyone, I decided to increase the sale amount, because looks like people
think that my prices are a bit high, so I increased it.
I put this message here, because I have already posted advertising in Sales section,
and posting 2 times a day is very bad, because it becomes spam, so I decided
to inform you about sale increase here
Happy shopping,
Your Marble Bricks

First wrong: posting too many times, second wrong: posting in the wrong section. 
And two wrongs don’t make a right.

Just be patient.

Yes yes I know, I just thought that posting 2 times a day in sales will be much
worse, than saying it here

Already written: Forum is reaching maybe 0.0001% of hypothetical buyers, and
front page maybe 0.001%

Work on nice prices, adapted shipping prices and auto-checkout, quality and quantity
(of lots and parts) - or a very specific niche, fast process, no fees, etc.
The remaining doesn't make any difference.

Generally speaking, posting more than two sales posts A WEEK is enough to get
your stop listed from most of us.

And not to point out the obvious here, but if you have a $5.00 minimum and you
reduce your prices further, you're just making it harder for people who need
a small order to be able to hit the minimum.

once a week is better it gives enough of a break that people check a
few times to see who it was again instead of thinking oh its the guy who posted
multiple times a week . the less someone post sales in the forum the more
likely i am to check it out

One thing is sure, either:

* You have 1 M€ (million) available in stock, then you can be "aggressive"
as you probably (I hope!) have a serious business plan, serious prices/stats,
etc.

* Or you don't have this amount, and then BrickLink is your companion for
the next years to come, say 1 to 10 why not, and then you've got time to
learn, try, ask, reply, etc.

So, I guess you've got time, think at it, avoid silly things like posting
a sale per day or posting a Youtube on how to take LEGO pictures (lol, Nubs).
Think at the whole. Why are you here?

little do people know it was actually a super secret strategy since criticism
is the best way to learn! (and then i wouldn't have to watch endless hours
of tutorials )

Just posting an unpopular opinion gets you stoplisted already. This place is
the ultimate cancel culture. And as for spamming, there is an incrowd here spamming
and posting off topic on about every thread posted.

You're not wrong. I was surprised to see how many people ignored me and
stoplisted me the first few weeks on here.

Just be patient.

Yes yes I know, I just thought that posting 2 times a day in sales will be much
worse, than saying it here

Generally speaking, posting more than two sales posts A WEEK is enough to get
your stop listed from most of us.

Just posting an unpopular opinion gets you stoplisted already. This place is
the ultimate cancel culture. And as for spamming, there is an incrowd here spamming
and posting off topic on about every thread posted.

You're not wrong. I was surprised to see how many people ignored me and
stoplisted me the first few weeks on here.

it can be a wild place at times but posting off-topic is good (usually
fun) healthy banter

Am I right that it is better to not post anything?

no posting is good usually for some things just as long as it isn't mindless
reposting about the same thing every day/few days

be honest how often do we post on that during the founding days it was talked
of a lot but it barely is now and that's to broad of a topic that just
like saying lego is talked about to much or shipping its a broad topic with many
factors mustard on the other hand i agree with any statement similarly said
about that

No:

* BrickLink needs fresh blood as we're all old timers here,

* I'm sure you can find something to say - in various LEGO or not related
subjects, as:

- helping people,
- discussing Catalog (why do they take so much time!!!),
- discussing Administration (why do they take so much time!!!),
- BrickLink development team (why do they take so much time!!!),
- or the difference between Mustard and Pizza (ultimately, but please avoid
pizzas).

I'd say post when you have something special only.

A sale is usually not special. If you have a sale every day/week/month, then
those are your regular prices and I do not believe that you have an actual sale.

Finding a rare set version or something like a marbled, shortshort or misprinted
part could be or some other item that warrants a separate or custom listing could
be special enough for an incidental post here. It is mainly effective for the
items that collectors might be looking for, but potential buyers might not see
when shopping through their wanted lists. I assume you know now that most generic
sales messages will be ignored.

Other buyers here will also always tell you your prices are high. Just like
any store, people want stuff cheaper.

And some will complain if your prices are too low. Amateurs making it more difficult
for serious business people.

Neither has your interest in mind with their advice.

  Hey everyone, I decided to increase the sale amount, because looks like people
think that my prices are a bit high, so I increased it.
I put this message here, because I have already posted advertising in Sales section,
and posting 2 times a day is very bad, because it becomes spam, so I decided
to inform you about sale increase here
Happy shopping,
Your Marble Bricks
