  Hello Everyone!

I've just finished updating the pricing on all of the part in my store, and
as it was a rather arduous and time-consuming task, I'm wondering if there
is a way to set my base price to the current average sale price (or a percentage
above or below)? Is this something that needs to be done in steps through the
API? Or can it be done within a setting/preference? Or do I need to plan to
periodically go through the entire part list again to reset pricing?

Any help or info will be greatly appreciated!!


BrickStore, free open source
https://www.brickstore.dev/

* Import Shop
* select ALL lots
* CTRL+G (or menu or right click in column price) to set all prices to Avg (pick
well your average!)
* mass UPDATE (not UPLOAD!) in chuncks of 500 (due to BrickLink upload limitation)

You can also set to Avg -5% if you wish.

Try with 1 lot first, play a lot with BrickStore, it's the best and first
tool any seller should use.

Done, a few minutes.

Yes, but difficult to say what there value is, you are looking at collectors
of 2 x 4’s including test bricks.

  Hey Guys.

I have these 2x4 bricks which, according to all you experts, are some test bricks.
I have all these different kinds/colors with different letter on stud.

I have plenty of each.

Does these have any value?

Thanks a lot

Decool is a knockoff brand, they copy LEGO sets and design.

Real one would have the LEGO logo on the neck stud and hips. A fake can also
be printed on real LEGO parts, but then someone custom prints on it.

I found a picture from Flicker, a comparison between Decool and LEGO® and I can
assure you, this one is a Decool copy ! Sorry

Nicolas

That is why I ask what is is a Decool and what would the real one have on it
mainly so I can explain to my kid he got super excited before he left for school.

Sorry, I can't put a link here but the picture is from Robuko on Flickr.
I can't copy the picture here even if I would, rights reserved...
Search for comparison Decool LEGO SDCC, you will find it
Hope you understand !

Before we get excited, is there a lego logo on the torso and legs?


Sadly Marvel figs are faked ALOT. It's not worth getting excited yet unless
you guys actually got it at CC in person.

That makes sense if the averages for a given part are only calculated once per
day. I've not run across this issue before, but it seems like Price Guide
manipulation. As in, if other stores use the regular current average price when
parting out, they'll accidentally price at least some items higher than they
ought to be, making the store that does the initial price very high but later
lowers it look like they have low prices when they don't.

Seems to be an issue for Trans-Red, Trans-Yellow, and White (left side or right)
at least. 6-month sales avg looks fine.

I think this same calculation might be reflected in the Price Guide. Of course
current items is almost always higher than 6 months but is it this much higher,
ever?

Try with a small set whose part-out price you can check by hand?

Oh yes that worked! I chose a small HP set and compared the part out to how much
it would cost to buy the parts from my store. Buying from my store was cheaper
then the part out value. So to answer the question for the future, it appears
the part out value is the before sale price or base price.

Thank you!

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

As long as you've been around, this comes as revelation to you? That's
interesting... I guess better late than never, or never stop learning (as a member
in Texas was known to sign-off with) both apply.

It extends further, the whole play at the shallow end of the pool before taking
the plunge into deeper end
