Most of my sales are new pieces, new and used mini-figures, and used sets. Beginning to rethink the used pieces as well. They definitely take a lot more time.
I'm curious about the logic concerning new vs used Lego. I know used has a much higher labor cost but it also has a much higher return on investment right? Not arguing with you, just wondering if there is something I haven't considered or if it is something unique to you (like unavailability of cheap used bulk where you live).
The thing with used bulk is that it can’t be grown “exponentially” with new yes it has a lower return but I can part out 100 multi hundred part sets in a few days compared to if I spent those few days listing used parts I could maybe get 5-6 parted out of a similar size in the same amount of time. So with new I can get more listed faster at a higher cost but can grow that compared to used which you can list all day but you can never grow it much as if listing just normal basic used parts it’s difficult to list even $100 in a day meanwhile with new I can list $500+ within 1 day with just normal parts.

indeed! starting out with standard used bricks are a great way to start up but in the long run they can hinder growth
Exciting for your future expansion.
Indeed! Thankyou!

Where do you buy your bulk minifigures
mostly from random auctions on eBay
@@nubsselect thank you I have just tried starting up a minifig business but haven’t bought more than £50 worth at a time
