I've got a bunch of new parts from sets I've parted out that I'd like
to sell, but I don't have the tens of thousands of parts that the
larger Bricklink shops have.
Is it worthwhile for me to open a Bricklink store?
I actually already opened one, but it is closed and I haven't put much
inventory into it yet.
It will take a lot of effort to enter all of the parts I have, and I
don't want to do it if it isn't going to have much of a chance.
I know as a buyer, I don't usually buy from the small guys because
it's rare for one vendor to have all the things I'm looking for. I
usually buy only from the larger stores. If most buyers are like me,
there'd be no point in me opening a small store.
Owners of small stores, do you find it to be worth your while?
