Hello Bricklink, I'm moving across country in a few months and I won't
be taking my store with me so I need to get working on offloading my inventory.
Would prefer to sell the whole lot rather than have a fire sale; would really
like to hear from any others who have had to do the same.

I'd better make big 50% off sales or such.
Then sell the remaining in batches or any easy way like on eBay...

Otherwise for a full shop, count you'll get LESS than 20% of its current
pricing - and IF someone's ready to invest AND to pick it up, because shipping
may explode the deal. Sincerely, chances are few.

Apart this, hoping you're happy to move!
I miss being able and free to move.

Accumulating metric tons of LEGO doesn't help...

Consider yourself lucky! I am rearranging my garage for extra storage as we speak.
Happy to help you out with that metric tons worth of issue that you're having.
Free of charge even.

Sold my shop a month or two ago.* My shop was around the same size of your inventory.

I sold it for 24% of my inventory value and it was a great deal.

Don't be tempted by a general sale of 50% or something like that. This
way you only sell the valuable things and are left with the unsellable items.
Good luck!

*By the way, I have continued my store but with a very small number of items
that I can easily handle and without taking up much space.

That makes sense, and it's a good thing to keep in mind, esp as my goal is
to lower my inventory so I don't have to move it. Having to figure out what
to do with 25K low value parts I have lingering in my store feels like swapping
one problem for another.
