Time to secure those drawers for those shakes!!!! I certainly don't miss them.
Barely moved at all and to be fair they are actually under the lip of the shelves so shouldn’t fall out 😂
Thank you for the insight! It's great to know what to look for but the how is always a hard question to answer for us beginners. Great video!
Thanks mate. Marketplace + Yard Sales - best place for beginners. Best tip as well was to know that you are going to make mistakes with it. I had a shocking buy of some discoloured Lego that I knew was discoloured and had to discard most of it - that helped me be more careful with condition. Good luck with the hunt 🙌🏽🙌🏽
1: How accurate is your brick freedom data? it says I have 2 more orders this month than I do...
2: I would not put away the instructions, I would list them, and they may not sell will when you would list them if you put them in the rainy day box! I do list instructions in my bricklink store, and I've sold a couple! Specificly Dimensions charactor packs for some reason.
3: I don't really agree that it's worth your time to upload bulk. Personally I go through bulk and pull out any parts worth like $0.20 USD or more, or uneique pars or minifigure accesories. Then I sell the rest as bulk for about as much as I paid for it per pound.
4: When I buy used lots I actually look for stuff from non collectors, because they usually they don't really know what they have.
Some good thoughts here and thanks for the comment.
1) Accurate as long as I’ve picked through there, I do get extras saying I need to post but I ignore that line. That can be a bit messy I guess. I find it easier than keeping track of it through Bricklink.
2) Fair points
3) I hear you on that but as I’ve previously said in vlogs - some pieces are worth more than you think. 3 red plates that only appeared in one set were $20 of upload value. Definitely not my priority in terms of time and you could just sell the bulk off again after listing figures. I have thought about doing that for one of the tubs.
4) That’s been hit and miss for me. My best haul was actually from someone who was a collector, but clearing bulk.
Brickstore NZ is pretty good.
Yeah always shipped quickly and competitive prices. Decent packaging too
I run a store in Aus and I used to keep all the instructions but switched to only keeping them from expensive set.
Because there's no easy way (as far as I know) to store them and find the particular one someone buys. It takes me way too much time to pick an instructions for how low they sell for.
What’s your rule of thumb for “expensive”?
@@kiwibrickexchange ..Oh, about $250aud and up ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ..I've parted out over 1000 sets in two years and sold maybe 20 instructions. So it would be worth it if they get you more sales of other parts but in reality they take up (in my case about 3m x 1m of room) plus are difficult to pick.
Maybe they would be worth something in 10 years but I doubt it since there might be VR instructions by then:)
That sounds more reasonable. I think that’s my thinking behind not keeping them too haha. Maybe some older ones but the rest just take up space and take a while to sell. That’s one thing that is very limiting for us - space!
List your instructions
They are extra lots
People have them on their wanted lists - they bring customers to the store
Collectors wants instructions
Bulk lot restorers who sell sets on eBay want instructions
I’ve sold 220 so far this year
Yeah I think I just needed to hear this a few more times :) another weekend job it is! Any rule of thumb? Do you list small sets too?
@@kiwibrickexchange I list everything but if space is a concern, I'd start with any licensed instructions or vintage ones. Also don't rely on brickstore sales averages, put in the effort and research what an item can actually sell for in your region by grouping by currency and going off the highest sales data versus trying to be the cheapest. This goes for everything - not just instructions. Store by theme in numbered order to make picking more efficient. For City or Creator manuals maybe just set a minimum price like $0.50 for the smaller sets. Take a look at my store and pull up the Instructions category to see how I do it if you like.
Nice, thanks for the tips
