Buy My Store??
Hey guys I have an interesting proposal most likely for some of the bigger stores out there. I just started a new job with crazy hours that is going to make running my store very difficult. I'm considering selling all my inventory at one bulk price. I have 60,916 pieces with a value of $12,527 currently listed with most/all listed at or below the six month average. I want to abide by all site rules even though I'm not exactly sure what those are for something like this. I'm open to any offers. I understand we both are trying to make money so the $12k number is just a reference. All the parts are kept in zipped bags then in containers. Willing to sell with or without the containers. I have quite a bit of inventory specifically Minifigures that aren't uploaded to the store yet which I will throw in as freebies. I can send pictures of anything you would like to see. Please respond to this post first as I said earlier I want to make sure I'm playing by the rules of BO before/if I give out my personal contact info (don't want to appear I'm circumventing BO). Any info on protocol for this on BO would be helpful as well. Here's a link to the store https://mrnicebrick.brickowl.com/ . Thanks guys!!

Compared to yours, you really have a lot of lego, and i doubt anyone would be able to buy it all at once.
I am interested however, since you have a lot of bricks i could use for myself actually :-P
But as the 2 others write, with shipping and the selling rate, i would not think you should go after the "normal/max" price.
I my self would also be down to about the 6000 $ as a max, and that is for the lego. Then the shipping price comes on top of that, which i can only imagine the price of.
So with all that. In your own position, you can change your delivery times to a wide range, the max is actually 14 days, from the order is in, till you send it.
So it could be a "weekend fun job" for you if you wanted !!
But if this is not an option for you either, i would suggest you make a more "formal" offer in price, shipping and so on, so people had a more concrete knowledge of where you are in the price range.
Hope this helps and good luck :-)
But also about the price, as you say, so we/I do not give you a price you refuse. Then it would be better for you, to write a "lowest" price and then go from there.
Compared to pictures, I guess you are already showing in your shop, so I would not worry about that π
But for the final cost, or a part payment, one could pay for the weight in it self, rather than the specific brick.
Never the less, I would not be able to pay for all your Lego at once π
Second, as to your value of the store as listed β¦ anyone want to buy, is likely buying for resale. They are not (usually) buying to make their store larger. For an on going concern, most of the truly desirable/valuable parts will sell quickly, so what you have (which I have not checked) is either common, or perhaps priced above competitors.
My own view is something like: what percentage (of that store value) do you want to clear after all fees/shipping/packaging have been accounted for ? Keeping in mind that the buyer wants to buy at a level where they have room to list it, and still show a reasonable profit. You end up at what some people call a fire-sale price, probably 35%-25% of that number. The fewer firm offers you have, the more likely this is where you will end up at.
Good luck !
Mine is just about okay with my "hobby" but only because I make money of it π
And your store / collection really sound awesome. But from my view, take your time, so you feel okay with it all π
> Most if not all the prices on my parts are competitive I believe...?
Competitive ? Possibly, if you are intending to keep open and be a going concern. That is different from trying to shut down, and move it all in one lump sale. The two are not comparable.
Then again, he spends a fortune on woodworking equipment! ;-)
