good question as i have a bricklink store but not an ebay store.  I do sell on ebay though.

This eBay store advertising is just a quick stop gap for us.  I know I sound like a broken record, but Jeff will have some time in the next several weeks to finish up the Classifieds.  It is then people will be allowed to post their Bricklink sites or whatever they want that is LEGO related.  We are allowing the eBay store links because we can get some affiliate money back from those links.  

i agree with majority.  some investors (like me) do occasionally by sets from other investors for personal use.  i recently purchased an indy jones car chase set from a popular member here (hassle free transaation).  will i buy sets off other investors for my own investment?  not sure  / prob not.

 

it will be interesting to see others' ebay stores.   that is another good guide for pricing sets on ebay.

A smart LEGO investor, collector, reseller and fan should look at each possible source to buy a set.  I look at eBay, Amazon, Bricklink, and all the major retailers before I make each purchase.  If another reseller has a set(s) that I was looking for cheaper than other sources, it would be foolish not to take advantage.

if we don't have an ebay store, can we still link to our "items for sale" page?

This might sound a bit far fetched, but some sort of a seminar/workshop would be nice at some point in time.

I will defer to Jeff on that one.

Seminar on what?

Yes, just send me a link via PM to wherever your list of eBay items are.  It does not need to be a store.  If you have an Amazon store or listings, we can add that.

Seminar on what?

Maybe seminar was a poor choice of words. The idea being to exchange best practices, ideas, improving the site and what have you in a more interactive and personal way. It would be nice to meet other BP members in person, but that is just me talking.

Oh, I understand.  Maybe one day.  I'm afraid that many members might go in disguise because they are afraid of LEGO spying on them.  LOL

Resellers buying from resellers.  It's an interesting thought.

Mind=blown!

 

Resellers are collectors that no longer want their collection.

Could be, but I resell, and I have to say...I would LOVE to crack open all my sets!

 

How about Target?  Walmart?  Amazon?  Aren't they resellers?  

We aren't advertising for Target or Walmart. The title says "Advertise Your eBay or Amazon Store".

I have sold a couple of sets to a couple of different BP members, and have actually bought from some others as well. Most of us have our own personal collections.

I'm a reseller and a collector.  I resell LEGO and I collect  .

I'm just a builder, plain and simple. The collecting habit is merely a byproduct of buying Lego (and my own OCD ).

We're not always resellers. Sometimes we're collectors.

For me it goes, collector, investor, and then reseller. Collecting is first and will always be first for me in terms of Lego.

For me it was reseller, reseller, reseller, reseller, then I put one together and now I have all the winter sets and monster fighter sets ready to go to put together so now I am a collector, I guess? (Ugh)    They converted me.  bastards.  I already have enough vices.

 

don't we all.  at least lego makes $$$, unlike all the other vices

I'm mainly a collector/hoarder.  I hate selling, but do so in order to accumulate/collect/hoard more.  Every cent I've made selling lego has gone right back into buying more to hoard.  Kind of sad, but I love growing my collection.

Did you build a set yet though?

 

There is nothing like your first time.

lol I cant see how you can only be a reseller .. the sets are so cool e.*** - pet shot, fire brigade and some harry potter stuff .. it would be impossible for me to just sell and never keep at least 1 of all the cool sets built and for display.

Yep. You'll always remember your first like a virgin.
