Well, I'm late to this video, this explains why I haven't seen new videos from you in my subscription feeds... I've enjoyed your videos and found your path as a Lego seller fascinating. Congratulations on your retirement!

I'm an avid Vinyl Junkie myself with a huge collection of many thousands of records. I have subbed & followed your channel, I'm sure you are on Discogs but a greeat place to move your Vinyl and get a market value on what you have, I do get better money on Ebay but its swings & roundabouts. As a second point to making a new store this is defo way forward, if you changed the original KZbin & get a mass unfollowong the YT agorythm will drop you down the charts like a New Jersey Gangster in the Harbour wearing Cement boots. People who have a genuine like for you & Vinyl will portal across :D.

Good to hear from another music lover. Thanks for subbing!! Yeah I am on Discogs, but I have not set up as a seller yet - As usual, Shipping policies seem to be the biggest pain :) In a recent video, I show lots of duplicates I have, so certainly some things I can move on once I get them sorted. I agree, a new channel was the best approach despite it being a LONG road to monetisation.
@WonderfulWorldOfStuff 26 күн бұрын
I knw you said its questions about Brickseller Hub, but I did realise that you're Bricklink tutorials were rather dated as in you started to use different softwares as your workflow evolved. From camera detection software, to different programs from the original tutorials. I get that the sorting parts are same thing, but maybe a video letting us know whats needed to start a bricklink store & guiding people/pointing to the relivant tutorials. This could help people start a Bricklink store & look for store sales n the BrickSeller Hub. All a great way to support & point out the Hub.
@BrickArena 26 күн бұрын
Thanks for the suggestion. Something for me to think about. I appreciate they are somewhat dated. My only issue is now that I have closed my stores, what I can show is limited.

@BrickArena Ай бұрын
Not sure why that happens, but I've had it happen to me too sometimes. I decided to start a new channel because its a tottaly different topic and audience. I want to leave the Brick Arena videos in place for people but didn't want to confuse new music related subscribers also. So just thought it best to separate them.

Good Man!! I'm not limited to Vinyl, I have ton of CD's - In fact just the other day I got an amazing lot of Facebook of about 200 CD's for £5. I got about 20 good ones for myself, about another 50 I could sell on and the rest passed on to charity. Thing is, its largely vinyl that people seem to be interested in on KZbin. Whereas I am mostly interested in the music irrespective of format.

Welcome back to the world of vlogs! Room looks good. Music channel you say? Umm. 🤔 That could work 🤣. In no way connected with the above, I have been listening to the new Deep Purple cd (=1), a bit of a return to form I would say. And the Frost* back catalogue. And have the new Mostly Autumn and Ghost Machine cds album on pre-order for early 2025.
@BrickArena Ай бұрын
Oh Dan I've missed our chats :) I'm sure I told you I loved the Deep Purple album, and I'm not a big (modern-day) Purple fan. I've been listening to Frost a little bit too ( I think we must move in the same recommendation circles). I've mostly been re-visiting my vinyl over recent weeks and bought a new (old) CD player at the weekend (after much research and a 6-hour round trip), so am now diving into those too. Having a great quality CD player is really giving them a new life.

Almost all my CDs are in storage, but our 12 year old has somehow ended up as a big fan of physical media so something along those lines might have to be a plan for the future. Will follow a new channel if you choose to go that way. Out of interest, are you still doing consulting calls for the old Lego? But congrats on the retirement and Merry Christmas! Hope 2025 is a good one for you!
