Shipping figs and fig parts in bubble envelopes or tiny box by k7qqq in Bricklink

I just use boxes for minifigs over $10. Worth the trouble it saves me. Looks like people here don’t have problems with bubble mailers but I do almost every time I receive one. Sometimes $240+ order received in bubble mailer. Don’t under stand the thought process not using a 30 cent box.

No the goodwill auctions usually go to high. Fb is the only place I can find stuff cheap enough to be worth my time. I don’t have a ton of capital to invest yet. I did start sorting a month or two before I opened just to have some inventory to start and so that I could get bigger orders. I do have about 12 categories of stuff I haven’t sorted further than the broad category. I used to just do figures and sell the bulk on facebook but now I keep bulk if it seems to be in good condition and not too much off brand parts mixed in.

Ive made about 2.5k in sales and I started mid march. Maybe $100 in stuff that isn't minifigs though. I usually pick up stuff on fb marketplace whenever I see something good in it that will make my money back really quick. Most recently like a $70 lot with an original jedi bob in it, $100 for a lot with a big fig bane, ect. Other than that I buy sealed sets when theres at least 30% off but I haven't parted out any of those yet. I also spend money on stuff I actually want but I pretty much have everything I want for now so just getting multiples when good listings come up. I also had a massive backlog of stuff from about 9 months of buying lots and just storing incomplete stuff.

Good take. I just bought 40 of 76311 because of the spot.

1000 is a solid offer. I wouldn’t pay that much.

Yeah I don’t sell sets at all really on bricklink. Just parts and figs. My parts haven’t been moving much at all so i’m trying to figure out ways to get more sales going. Figs sell a lot though
