I think the way to have a lot of sales if you're a parts seller is cater to
the big buyers. Actively seek them out, find out what they want, and sell it
for less than everyone else does. Either that or go the Jon Kozan route...
have some of everything and charge so much that it's economical to sell
someone 3 parts. But do we need more than one of those? I dunno.

Part of the trouble with this "big buyer" selling in my opinion is the
number of unwanted parts which are left over.  After the top buyers have
exhausted the seller of the desired parts the remainder are usually left to
Brickbay or other venues.  These leftover pieces are often harder to sell
then they would be in combination with the more desired parts.

Also an inventory of 5000, or even 10,000 pieces may be insufficient to peak
the interest of many top buyers who want 100's of each type of piece.


This is an interesting topic, because soon I'm going to have enough detrius

detrius?   Do you mean detritus, or is detrius just a word I am not familiar
with (there are certainly enough of those).

that I am going to want to move it out... you can see a bit of it in my
store but my focus is mostly on sets, and specifically, mostly on my own
creations.

(...) If it's the *right* 5000 pieces, you can be sure my interest will be piqued, although it may not be the peak of piquing... But yes, this is a problem indeed... you have to set the desirables high enough so that you can set the undesireables (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

I took a break from my LDrawing up my latest Milton Train Works creation, (coming soon!) to answer this one... (...) Those of us that buy bulk will love it. That includes me... when I want a part, I want ALL of that part that is available. Right now (...) (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
