Is everyone else slowing down?

Not sure if it's just the start of the month and everyone's paying their bills or is it the summer slow down?

  • Yes, and I think it is due to school being out for the summer, graduations and vacations.
  • yes... i see it too!
  • Sales have dropped big time for me.
  • Yes, same here, and I'm not too sure what are the factors involved.
  • Ditto. Not just here, but across all venues. It's not unusual through Jun, Jul & Aug.
  • For me the last two week things seem to be picking up again, compared to the 2 months before, the 1st was my busiest day in weeks.

    Still lower than February numbers but better than the middle of May.

    Odd-ish thing is I am increasing my minimum and getting more sales instead of less, there must be a tipping point soon as it is getting counter productive.


  • Things are picking up for me. Then again I just recently added 7500 pieces including a lot of Cafe Corner inventory. :-D

  • Mine closed for my vacation later this month and with summer I think it always slow down but good for me to allow me time to buy more Lego at car boot sales which I have around well over 30,000 parts in my dad attic to be added here to be ready for Autumn when it pick up more demands.
  • 2 days without an order! Could be worse, England could nearly be out of the World Cup....oh!
  • We're just not good enough.

    Why do I always believe we're a better team than we are. Gutted : (
  • 2 quotes since posting!
    Lost to 2 teams higher than us in FIFA rankings. Just need the Italians to win their games and for us to beat Costa Rica with better goal difference and we're through! lol
  • @EmsBitsnBobs… well at least they are playing! (SNP again)

    why do they do so badly? could it be to do with the fact that half the team don't speak English well?

    Sadly good 'ol Footy has gone the way the rest of the Country has "Globalization" :( - showing my age now - I remember being a Chelsea supporter when the whole team was from around the area (and English) and they were tight, only problem was Liverpool!

    @TheWholeWorld - No slow down o'er the pond tho!! - of course half of the US is now "too hot" - so everyone is inside again with the A/C on - unfortunately we don't have A/C and my LEGO room becomes a sauna after 1 pm - so I start at 06:00
  • I picked the Summer slow down to open my store! Great timing LOL. It's been ok so far, but I would like to see the sales pick up soon. In the mean time, I'll keep adding to the inventory...
  • My worst start to the month since February when I only had 20000 parts! I now have 3 times that.
  • slow here too but had some high value low part count orders here and you know where and some good ebay sales so I'm just about managing.
  • Slow here as well - but it's a good thing; time to add more inventory and organize things. Plus time to enjoy the weather/summer - way too short here in Canada!
  • We see MANY Canadians during our "winter" months here in Arizona.

    As for our summer, well...let's not talk about it.
