BEARD!??

Hey Travis I’ve been watching since your TikTok days so probably 2-3 years ago lol I just wanna let you know I watch every video you post there’s not many genuine creators out there and I’m amazed by your growth just wanted to say thank you for all the content!

Brrr. Get that ceiling mounted heater

👍

That’s a good thumbnail.

lol, haven't even watched the video yet and I'm chuckling about the thumbnail.

Have you ever thought of asking customers, "Why?" I'm now curious on why all the Gandalfs? Skeleton Crew was a good series. Really happy with the ending. Just saw Rebel Baseplate in chat the other day. Interesting how this Lego/KZbin community is connected. Travis you are doing a great job!

Let's get 3000 subs!!!! 🎉

There has to be a way to get a vent from your house to outlet into the garage? Maybe insulate your garage door?

Hi travis. I’ve made my own brick link account and already have 3 orders but I’m struggling to figure out how to get shipping labels for them. Do you have any ideas what to do??

Keep grinding dude!

Beard reset!? I just did that too, was bad idea for me during this Chicago cold spell. My face is freezing!!!

at first i was like "who is this child?" then i realized you shaved. lol

I know the frustration on mistakes. Ughhhh

5:53 can You tell mi what is the part number of these tiles?

Hi Travis, I think its normal youre numbers are a bit lower then usual. Youre in a full transitioning period from ebay to bricklink. Ive been watching you for more then a year now and you have so much more bricklink orders and a higher average value per order then a year ago. And with bricklink being a slow game, you just keep uploading and youre bricklink numbers will slowly rise as well :), youre on the good track!

Do you test all your video games? If not, how do you list them? I have tons of video games, but I don’t have the consoles to test them with. Does this make them less valuable?

Oh man do I feel you in this one. So much backlog so little time. Always remember that you can only do so much in a day and while yes that stuff sits it’s not like it’s spoiling or losing value. Which is nice! You got this brother

Cool clone army

I have the windscreen that you sent out with the Mythosaur sticker on it in my BL store inventory. Don’t sweat it man. We all make mistakes. Your customer service is great, so it makes the transactions better. Keep up the good work man!

The bubble wrap is a nice touch. But really unnecessary in a bubble mailer I think.

I appreciate how you share your very human struggles, and I think that's a big part of the appeal of your channel. Just you doing your life and bringing us along on the journey. It's inspiring and comforting, really. Keep up the great work on your store, and we're cheering for you!

I, for one, will miss seeing the clones... move the LotR over please. :)

You got this, btw. Seriously. Focusing on the backlog during these cold months will pay off, even if not till later. Just paying off mentally for you to be able to not see the large "death pile" day in and day out. Slow and steady progress is key. I suffer from a giant backlog [and don't have an overspending issue, just had a "I don't wanna work on this" issue for months and months]. It is demoralizing to say the least, to feel that weight of the death pile. But once you start to carve away at it and see the progress, it will make you feel better. And of course, that's all money in them there boxes. ;)

My 62 pounds I shipped on Monday love to crush little lego. ;) Glad to see you using bubble wrap when using mailers like that! So many dealers need to learn that from you! :)

You can tell yourself you can’t buy anything big until you clear your backlog out.

VCRs? Really Travis? 😂😂

Keep up the great work Travis, so long as you are dumping inventory into your stores the sales will come! In my business if I need cash, the backlog might actually be the solution because you can take time off from buying and it might make you feel better at the same time

Keep up the great content!

Keep at it man! Glad that you share not only your successes, but also your stresses. Lets us all know that you are human like us. Definitely gives me inspiration to just keep moving forward.

Oh snap its meee!!!

Do you work Brick Link full time or do you have another job as well?

I do love number games and looking at financial projections, but lets say weekends and around 15 days are taken off for the year, the actual posting of sales would be around $150 per day instead of $100. If you keep this in mind and set aside days for holidays or special occasions, like birthdays, it will help your mindset on setting goals for sales in the longhaul.

Sticker sheets sticking around, haha

There’s 251 working days in a year, try setting your daily goal using that number rather than 365

What was the value of your bricklink store when you first opened it?

Don’t forget you’re supposed to be keeping track of viewer order vs total orders.

Business cards are pretty cheap here, there's places that can do a few hundred for $40 or so. They're fun to make!

Drooling over all the crumpled paper. I am running low and aaaah....I use that stuff soooo much!

Take you time bud lol thanks for the order too :)

Would you ever add up the approximate value of your clone collection? As a LEGO fan and reseller myself, it’s always a constant battle of wanting to keep minifigures or selling them. I sometimes keep clones for a little but then sell them during slow months as they are often the most valuable part of minifig hauls

Guess we will keep waiting for a Y Wing update...

Quite a bit of megablocks Dragons / Pirates in that haul, can add up quick if you can make a large enough lot.

Looks like a solid haul! Definitely will take a little more work than you’d probably like sifting through but it’s amazing how you can find little gems here and there that add up quick!

That seller got you by the heartstrings with that college bit so you’d pay up 😜 But seriously, good haul!

Those bootleg figures has me wary of that bulk buy, especially considering there's knockoff stuff in the random part bins. Hopefully the figs are worth 700 when they're all posted

You know I love to see you grow the pc and not feel bad about it

Had one of those no remark moments the other day too. An oddball piece, and I uploaded it ages ago and had no clue where I would have put it. I looked for a while but ultimately it wasn't worth it for a 30 cent piece. The buyer was cool, they had placed a big order. But I totally get that feeling of being annoyed with yourself over simple mistakes that cause a hassle down the line. Trying to get more minifigures into the store - it's a lot of work, but worth it. You're doing a great job, keep up the good work!

did you know there's a site that you can use your brickstore file with to see which figures you have complete in parts (or mostly) ?
