I have only checked out a few sets, these sets coming from the Atlantis and ninjago themes, I guess I still have a lot to learn before using eBay lol.

I have been looking for discounts on websites here in the UK and then checking what those sets are gong for on eBay and on eBay most of the time it seems to be cheaper than what the actual discount is, how re people getting the sets so cheap? They must be buying them at extremely low prices to be able to still sell them well under the RRP.

Hello again all I'm sorry to keep asking questions but i want to know everything before i even attempt to start selling on eBay, so my question is the title basically. What should i be using to Package certain Lego items, from key chains and spinners to Small sets and Large sets, like always any help is very much appreicated, thanks all.

I noticed that in my last reply i put is using poly bags for shipping, i meant poly mailing bags and are they ok to use for certain items, such as the smaller sets, poly bag sets and spinners?

I know shipping is a huge factor when it comes to selling goods online, how do people here do it to make it as cheap as possible, coming from the UK i know a big amount of the members here are from the US so specific information about actually 1st class, 2 class etc etc may not be the same at all, but i ask mostly about what you package the items in. Would it always have to be boxes or are bubble lined envelopes and poly bags just as good?

Although buying 1 large set and then reselling it is of course alot easier than selling 10 smaller sets, i think with the current amount of money i have to start out with, it would maybe be best to start out small and then hopefully start to increase. i will of course be doing alot of research into what themes and sets i feel are best suited to get me started but as you said comicblast, i will need to look at pretty much every theme instead of just staying with 1 or 2. P.S - I am from the UK

Which sets would personally recommend? im thinking maybe a few of the ninjago spinners, such as Lloyd ZX, Samurai X and the Weapon Pack with NRG Kai and Chokun, maybe some poly bags if i can get my hands on them for a decent price, things around that area?

Based on what i earn every month and what then comes out of that for my rent, should i give the Lego eBay business a go? On average i earn roughly

Just wondering where all the other UK members are finding the best deals, at the moment i would say Amazon seems to be the best bet, although i still haven't looked around an awful lot.

From Bath, just outside Bristol

I know this is not really an investment question, but why do the American Boxes have the piece count and set name on them, where as the Boxes we get here in the UK do not, any special reasons?

Welcome to the site, good to see another UK member :)

Being based in the UK it is very hard to seem to be able to order anything from Amazon US, either it says it can't ship to the UK or the costs are sky high.

Technic Jet Plane and Excavator for my personal collection. Can't understand why it doesn't have the name of the set or the piece count on the box in the UK lol.

Thanks for the help, I will have to look into the the import taxes and then see what I can do on BrickLink, thanks again.
