    Wow! Nearing 1000, that's a huge number and makes the 8500 at BL seem like an attainable target.

    Beat me to this one as well #Graham :-)

    #Admin I asked at BO first Birthday and I'll going to ask again, how about some BO stats for when the 1000th store opens?

    another store since posting NOW 997!

    In 1 year and a few months - well done Lawrence! =D>

    Don't know if it's across the board but sales for me have been steadily increasing ever since moving over.

    My sales have been all over the place since starting. Peaked in May.

    #Teup why the small sales? Looks like you have plenty of parts!
    I'm liking your storage and set up! :-)

    Thanks! :D Just moved, I hope to keep it this clean and organised :)

    Actually sales were OK, that peak at 22 august was just one customer placing two ridiculously humongous orders, so now the graph is ruined for life :D

    But yeah, most orders are $10.. :P

    Just clicked on your image, hadn't seen that huge peak! lol :-O
    How much was that order?
    My graph is orders but the turnover graph is almost the same.

    ...998...

    This is over a year and definately averages as steady growth - perhaps you are looking at too shorter period?

    I do not have constant settings through the history, I had nothing but growth looking back through my own "lenses".

    Just to add (and hopefully encourage newer stores) my parts availability remains fairly constant between 170,000 and 185,000 of which approx 10-20% is "junk" ie technic pins and mf accessories so my store is more realistically 150k parts.

    As a part timer i'm as busy as I want to be (at the moment) with at least double the volume I used to get (at best) on BL!

    First order about €1000, next day €1500 and today just now another €500.. all the same guy :D It's absolutely nuts, but also a very momentary fluke :)

    So the graphs are totally messed up for me, but that's ok :D

    @Admin - what I would REALLY like to see is a graph of the gross trading on BrickOwl - by all means remove "real" numbers just the graph would be nice!

    @Teup and there was me pleased at a £100 order a while back! lol
    Was it all parts or sets as well? If it was parts it must have taken ages to pick!
    Agreed @Graham

    Purely parts :D But hundreds per lot, and I have stuff prepacked in bags of 50 from my part-out :) So those 3 order together were only like 3 days of work. Considering it's enough income for a month, that's a great deal hours-wise :D
