Good job on the push to get out of the storage unit. Always love these updates.

Appreciate the sharing ! I have been updating my Blink store weekly, business is good for only 7-6.5k parts in the store, growing! Figuring out a balance of growing the store with low prices and consistent sales vs more profit, higher margins, less sales, more time to sort is tough. Keep going man!

Love to see these videos! Thanks for being so transparent. Happiness in your work is incredibly valuable. Also important to have such a supportive partner who wants you to enjoy your work. I understand this first hand ❤️ keep rockin’ man

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing your journey. Building your empire is always more fun that building some else's even if it isn't as lucrative. I started part time recently. Learned lots along the way thanks to channels like yours.

I see car losing that space when you empty the storage unit. Lol. As far as the containers. Slide them over and give them a little more room so when you continue to grow you can put them back to back and create an aisle

Great half way update! Moving is definitely a big distraction, another month or two of organizing and figuring out our space and you’ll be back at it. You’ll save ~750$ in storage for the rest of the year and the time travelling to and from it, don’t spend it all at once 😅 Are you planning to have a brick sorting area/desk? Remember the goal of having a rolling 30k BL store :) All the best for the rest of the year 🎉

Hey I can do a lot of damage with an extra $750 in available cash! Working on the sorting situation right now!

July 4th weekend is always slow and the end of June seems like it was slow for many eBayers, even if they didn't move to a new home!

@samcostello6853 29 күн бұрын

I had a record month of $7,500 from all my platforms combined, not doing as much volume as you but June was so great for me!! July is painfully slow, we’re about 10 days in and i’ve made maybe $400, I hate the inconsistency

@TravisMarsala 29 күн бұрын

My July is going surprisingly well despite how inactive I am. Makes me wonder what it would look like if I was active lol

My sales are tracking at about ~50% down on last year. Glad it's not my job :)

Ooof that’s pretty rough.

I'm a part time reseller, have a full time job so I do it on the side as I have time. I'd say I'm 90% LEGO with some other odds and ends in there. June was a terrible month for me but through June I'm up 39% vs last year. July is already shaping up to be a very good month for me. I don't do your numbers but after fees and everything a bad month is $500 and a good month is $1,500 so it helps for sure. If i were you I'd just move the storage space into your garage and deal with it there. I find if things are out of sight or not in my way I tend to let them sit longer.

Very cool to see it all gone through! Love watching the set up build up! I’m ever so slowly moving product, but I need to get back into YT. Luckily I think I’ve found enough sets to double my money on a few lots, plus stuff I’m keeping. I also have a question. Why do you not use Stripe (or whatever the cad thing is) on bricklink?

@TravisMarsala 29 күн бұрын

I just think I never did it when I first set up, so never thought to add it? 🤷🏻‍♂️ ill look into though!

@@TravisMarsala I think it’s a slight like 0.05 charge, from what I remember. But it opens up your market a bit more I think. Heck it’d be easier for me lol
