As I've been working my way through my bulk sets, I've been finding myself with some leftover pieces.  I was originally just going to sell them off in pound lots.  But, as my wife as been seeing the fruits of my labor lately, she's really wanting to tackle a lot more.  I have a small Bricklink store, and it hasn't done much business.  I don't have much inventory listed online, so it's understandable.

 

Now that we've become more savvy with sorting, and have better defined our business plans, we want to get our Bricklink store really going.

 

I'm trying to figure out the best way to store parts.  I imagine it's something like this.  Or, does anyone have any better ideas?

 

We just need help in keeping the little hands out of the drawers (2 year old and 6 year old), possibly something that stacks.  Something that is easily movable, as we would normally store this out in the garage, and then bring it inside at night, when we're pulling orders.

 

Any ideas?

So I know this is an old topic, but I wanted to bump it up as I've settled into a storage system that works well for me (at least for the time-being)

I do all of my sorting and inventory storage at the time of listing items.  Doing it this way ensures that when an order comes in, I have fast turn-around on picking.

I use these storage trays from Harbor Freight which have removable inner bins:

These trays hold about 80% of my inventory, with larger or bulky pieces going into clear plastic shoe bins.    I enter the tray label (T1, T2, T3...) in the "Remarks" section so that when I print orders I know what tray to go to.     I find this setup is a good balance of flexibility & efficiency.    The bins go on sale for about $6-7 each on a regular basis.

And here is my storage shelf for easy access to the bins, which you may notice is already used beyond capacity: ☺️

looks good.  I have quite a few methods but the best is the stack ons especially once you start to really grow.
