Forest Park resident builds business with LEGO
From Communitypress.Cincinnati website on Sept. 24, 2010.
William Lynch enjoys building with LEGO, and has turned that love into a
profitable business.
Lynch, a Forest Park resident, started Cincinnati Bricks about five years ago
and says the business is “wildly successful.”
Cincinnati Bricks acts as a “chop shop” for LEGO sets. Lynch buys sets and
breaks them down to sell the individual pieces to collectors and builders.
The business began in Lynch’s Forest Park home, but he’s recently moved much of
his product to a warehouse in the city.
Lynch said he buys the LEGO sets “wherever I can get a deal” and sells them
through his website, Amazon, exhibitions or displays.
Cincinnati Bricks has been a featured BrickLink (an unofficial online LEGO
marketplace) numerous times as one of the top 50 LEGO sellers by volume. There
are about 4,000 such stores in the world.
Lynch said he was selling real estate and selling LEGO as a side business, but
said the risk was too high selling properties, so he’s put that business on the
back burner to focus on LEGO, which have been bringing steady income for several
years.
“I’m basically doubling my business every year,” he said.
Lynch said he hopes to one day make Cincinnati Bricks his full-time job, and he
may be just a couple of years from making that a reality.
