To All,
I have been following to this to some extent, but it is interesting.

It can be, it depends (0.08 parts are not, minifigs are, etc.). I found most
of my orders are never one or two, mostly 5-10 of each part at least. I have
few customers that buy so little quantities, but I offer it to people if
they want it. As for the time, it depends if I have everything sorted or
not. Once it is sorted, it is a snap. Most of the time goes into mailing,
labels, and packaging, website admin, payment requests, etc.

I have looked around Brickbay, many of times, and it is neat (Unfortunately,
it wasn't around when I was setting up my site). I don't want to buy any
LEGO sets or parts for me right now, most of my money is going into bills
and the business. I think I bought some sets from S@H, but I still need to
open the box.
Interesting disussion, anyway! Have a good night!
