Raise your free shipping. I followed in your footsteps and started at $35. My free shipping is now at $75. Surprisingly a lot of large $75 orders come in for the free shipping.

It is always a risk buying so much at once. I have found errors but also errors in my favor. Most buyers on Bricklink are understanding and glady accept a refund. If they don't, then you just block those buyers and never deal with them again.

@@Gazelle0078 For sure see you in Grand Rapids , but Detroit. The Booth Fee for same space I had last few years has nearly doubled. I told them I cannot take extra hit in cost since my prices are some lowest there.

@@PopsBlockShop no kidding. Wow. Yeah your prices are hard to beat. They shouldn’t gouge the vendors so hard. That’s part of the reason the public comes. $200-$300 for a weekend is reasonable. You get to $500 or more for a booth and you have to sell way to much product just to break even. Not to mention gas, food etc. anyway c u soon

Drool! I would love to add a van load to my collection! Would kill to know what that cost! I'm having to start from scratch replacing my entire Lego collection. My folks confiscated mine for the 'kids' to play with and there all now dumped in three large tubs in the corner of there living room all lied for when they have friends come over with kids.... So yeah... I'm starting from scratch and buying all over again...

@BrickTsar 10 ай бұрын

I was surprised how fast you added the new inventory and was thinking that you were pretty trusting of the quantity. Also the odd numbering system would drive my crazy but I see you set it up to move quickly. That “leave in mailbox” message made me laugh. I don’t know what some people are thinking sometimes. I’ll be curious to see if you can tell when people are riding from the Bricklink moc popup store. Those make for some time consuming low cost orders I think

@PopsBlockShop 10 ай бұрын

The three main factors that had me pull trigger. 1. Cost 25% of value(so I could price a little lower) Taking on all risknto sell the LEGO 2. Ease of transition (I know some quantities will be off) I researched the stores feedback and seemed really good, so that helped me to trust it will be OK in the end. Also same Stackons I already had was a major plus since they do not make them anymore. 3. Location to me. Just a three hour drive each way wasn't bad and I didn't have to drive through Chicago traffic. Although I still had that slowdown HAHA. I did see that MOC store and tested on a few. At this point, I'm used to thoselow-cost, high lot count orders. I just changed my free ship deal to $40 as I was paying on averag, nearly $2.00 out of pocket per order to ship. I need that to be under $1.00 or break even at this point.

I will be closing the store and moving soon. Looking forward to the move but not moving all my stuff and setting up the new store. One advantage is i can hopefully set it up more efficiently this time.

on my way to Louisville/Jeffersonville I had over an hour added to drive time due to construction combined with an accident in Milwaukee and 2 hours added in Chicago for the same reason. On the way home it was the 7 and a half hours no delays! Brick Universe Nashville was awesome!

Congratulations on the new store! By removing cost in the file, do you mind sharing how people usually calculate the cost of goods sold? I can’t recall if I’ve heard anyone discuss that.

@PopsBlockShop 10 ай бұрын

I believe my accountant uses the LIFO method. I just report the total amount spent on inventory every year etc. I've stated this before that I'm not going to go into details on anything tax related. I pay an accountant to make sure I do everything correct and leave it at that.

@donm2255 10 ай бұрын

@@PopsBlockShopDo you send the accountant an inventory count at the end of the year? LIFO would require tracking/calculating a cost per sku. I doubt he does that. I bet he just looks at inventory in total and guestimates ending inventory and COGS. Managing actual cost per sku regardless of the method would require a lot of input into the accounting system. @JagsMartin - COGS can be done monthly or yearly in total. The formula is dollar amount of beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory = cogs. The ending inventory can just be number of pieces times average cost per piece (historical average in aggregate). Assigning a cost per sku would be tedious. Assigning an average cost per piece for the entire inventory is much easier. BTW, I love your Bricklink store. I've bought from you before and getting ready to do another order.

You have to have that part in your store to see the colors show up like that. If I did not have that part in my inventory in black than if would not show that.

@@atlasproduction4773 I did multiple spot checks and mostly was finding that there were parts in drawers that were not listed In the file. It was a small risk tondonit this way but ultimately when parts sell I make sure they are there to send and if not I refund. Has been almost 1 year since purchased store and very few issues that I have to refund for.
