I've had some thoughts churning around in my head recently generally related
to parts selling and how I can streamline the process, and it never hurts to
open the door and get more input.
I noticed that my most recent sale announcement got less response from
previous ones (half a dozen orders in the first day, compared to well over a
dozen in the previous 2). I think some of the things below may have been
contributing factors, and I'm wondering if other sellers have noticed
similar things contributing to a drop in sales.
I about doubled the number of parts available. A bit less than 3000 to
about 6500.
The number of shops on Brickbay exploded. I was one shop among 20, now I'm
one shop among 100.
The initial rush of Brickbay traffic died down. I don't know for sure about
other buyers, but I know I placed a bunch of orders because it was so darn
easy, and found myself in a tight corner for a bit. I've slowed down my
buying, and others may have as well.
My shop started being listed under my country. I've noticed that a much
higher percentage of recent orders are other Canadians, from which one could
infer that more USians (the obvious bulk of the market) are sticking to US
sellers.
Thoughts?

| Hi all, I think James made some good points here. I recently started a shop on brickbay (Markslegoland) and have to say I haven't had much luck. Granted, my inventory is still small and am looking to add. I agree with James that it is much easier to (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
