HI everybody -

i was thinking about the possibiliy to find out, which parts are the most expensive
in each category, i.e. which is the most expensive plate (size and color, average
price) to pick better for reselling them.

Or, best way would be, if i could leach for all parts 1 Euro average or higher
or something like that within brickstore or bricklink directly. Is there any
possibiliy to search in that way? Or does there any 3rd party software exist
for that?

Of course, after years we all know many prices but as nobody can know everything
i thought this might be a good tool.

Happy for any informations.

Regards
Pierre

In theory, you can do it with an advanced search, at least for currently listed
parts. For example, this will give you the most expensive new plates: https://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?viewFrom=sa&invNew=N&itemType=P&catID=26&searchSort=B&sz=500

It is likely to give a server error where there are too many items listed. And
of course, just because someone is asking a high price, it doesn't mean it
will sell.

You'd probably need third party software to do it based on average sold prices.

Although I'm not sure what the point would be. Finding the expensive parts
is going to take a long time. You might as well list what you have, and only
list if it is above whatever threshold you have. Or bag the parts and sell bags
of 10 or whatever if that is above your threshold.

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

i am going to sell kilo stuff in my local store, better said pre-sorted LEGO
but of course, if i have a lot of 25 kilos slope decorated i would like to pick
all items that are 1 euro or more for bricklink and keep the rest in the local
store. that is a fictive example for my request´s background

i have actually about 8 tons ! of LEGO in storage, today received 250 kilograms
again and i want to restructure my business

happy weekend
Pierre
