Opening a store – even a hobby business – requires a clear goal to thrive. So special thanks goes out to Florida Brick Shop for inspiring this article. During our discussions he gave me some tips for new sellers to consider when they start up their own store.
#DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRICKSMITH AND BRICKSTOCK FULL#
After issuing a full refund, I got a chance to talk with the buyer about selling. Thankfully, the buyer was very understanding and a seller in his own right. The color was right, as well as the functionality of the element, but the small details clearly showed that I had a newer version. Not yet being familiar with all the nuances of LEGO elements, I recently made a fairly large blunder while fulfilling an order, mistaking a newer part for an older one.
LEGO pieces also require an efficient sorting and storage system to make the order fulfillment process easier, and to protect them from damage. Pieces can have small moulding and color differences, which means that they could look nearly identical to the untrained eye, but the price difference between these variations can be huge. Selling LEGO by the piece requires that you are very knowledgeable about each element. Parts, on the other hand, are a much different story… Sure, a set could get damaged in shipping, but if you take some precautions and pack properly, that shouldn’t be an issue. Selling LEGO sets is fairly easy, as all the information about the set is right on the box, so it is hard to make mistakes. While originally I only sold sets, recently I started adding individual pieces to my store as well. As I have mentioned in some of my previous articles (see links at the end of this post), I sell LEGO fairly regularly on to support my hobby.
