Hi all,

Just had a general question. At which point in terms of pieces and lots did you
begin to get daily or 4-5 orders each week?

Thanks

I’ve had around 10 orders this month. My current inventory is 4,743 items in
1,573 lots but is mostly parts.

If you have 1000 items and 600 lots of minifigures they would probably sell more
than the same amount of parts

And the other thing if your prices are lower you may get more sales/orders

Everyone's path is different. Best advice would be to continue to build
your inventory in your spare time and budget constraints and keep your prices
competitive. Once your lot count expands shoppers will have more reason to purchase
in your store over a larger cast then just looking for a specific part you may
have.

In the past it was 5k, now its more like 10k and lets not forget spring through
summer things slow down.

It's not the answer you want, but it depends. I would say ~100,000/2000
was when things really started to pick up, but it would depend on what lots you
have and how they're priced that matters most. Then it depends on if you're
doing new or used.

BrickMan brings up a really good point too; things sputter during the warmer
months. March was my best month on record; and then for the third April in a
row things hit a brick wall.

Consistent sales if you don’t specialize tend to be around 100k parts with 10k
lots
