Thank you Brick Owl!
Hello Brick Owl Community!
After 2.5 years of quietly enjoying this journey, I figured it's about time to introduce myself.
I run a small store called Brickbar, and today I’m celebrating a milestone: 20,000 listed parts! (Which puts me on page 13 of the stores when sorted by size … way to go)
What started as a simple suggestion ("You need a hobby!") has turned into a truly rewarding pastime. To keep things simple, I only sell on Brickowl and focus entirely on used parts. At the moment, my store has almost 3,500 active lots—which is kind of crazy when I think about it! The journey so far has been amazing:
- Setting up a storage system that works for me
- Creating a color palette (those greys!)
- Learning about mold variations (does anyone else care?)
- Shipping orders to places halfway across the globe
- Trying to find this one decorated tile among 2500 variations ...
- And enjoying the meditative act of sorting through a pile of bricks—especially when my wife joins in to help …
Brickowl has been a fantastic platform. A huge thanks to the Brickowl team and to everyone in this community for making it such a great space to be part of! Looking forward to continuing this journey.
Happy building,
Helmut
