BrickLink Tutorial and Tips - Adding Parts and Parting Out Sets

[@MandRproductions]

“The hawks *were* beating the Celtics tonight” ;) “But I still like em, they’re my favorite team” real throwback to the 2013 & 2014 Celtics who were terrible but I still watched almost every game.

[@BrickTsar]

That’s a proper fan. Gotta love your team in good times and bad. I remember the time my bad Hawks took the Celtics to game 7 - which they proceeded to lose by about 50. Lol

[@MarloweBricks]

I bookmarked this video when you first posted it. Glad I did, I will need to rewatch it a few times while I get the process down.

[@borusiewicz80]

i don't know about popularity of such videos, but i would love to see more parting out

[@MyVidMix]

I can tell Sorting and Storing will be my favourite part of collecting LEGO. Subbed 👨‍💻👍

[@MOKEBA]

I’m happy for you that you found such a great haul and really appreciate the video!

[@BrickTsar]

Thank you

[@BrickTrains]

Nice tutorial! I like the little plastic bowls you used, I'm going to keep an eye out for some of those.

[@Cisio86]

Great video! Thank you very much for doing this kind of tutorials. I'm new to BL selling and it was very helpful

[@sheilalart5837]

Nice video, looks like alot of work but very simple and organized!!

[@christophergrigsby6743]

Outstanding work. Thanks for sharing your insights and process. Impressive! 🍻

[@RobinErhard67]

that's great, i hope i can get as far as you. You are my bricklink role model

[@RalphsBricks]

10:09 "Since these aren't numbered bags I shouldn't see these parts again." I was going to argue with you about that until I went back and realized you said "Since these aren't numbered bags". Interesting tip.

[@Sonic62920]

Cool! Now I just need money!

[@Derek-le4er]

Hey I use the same Creationary insert to divide pieces as I'm building. Very helpful and I agree, the bottoms are curved and it helps get pieces out. Great recommendation and I agree, it's a bit flimsy. Maybe I should look into getting one of the sturdier ones from the Education sets. Hmmm...

[@jeremymyer2815]

How did u come up with your numbered drawer system . is that just an excellent spreadsheet

[@Carl-G]

I can't remember the last time I parted out a set now :D My motivation to do anything around this time of the year drops to 'ZERO' really :D Anyway Excellent Video as always and lots of good tips to ;)

[@sand8able]

Is there a reason that you use brickstock instead of bricklink inventory ?

[@SlikkNikk206]

3, 5 13??? lol 3:30 interesting video.thanks for posting how your process works. added you to my Bricklink favs :)

[@BrickTsar]

Lol! Thanks - I remember thinking “I think there are less spaces” but I can’t count

[@imAlico64]

Great to see another way of putting parts to a store! Did you upload them all in stockroom? How do you determine which are added to the online store, and which ones are in the stockroom? Or does Bricklink adds them automatically to the store if they can be consolidated, and leave the other ones in stock room?

[@rmfloris]

So how do you find an empty drawer for the parts? You look in your store or have a more automated solution for it? You also mentioned the part out value. How do you calculate that while buying sets? Or do you wait until you get home?

Here in the U.K. I use cheap ‘lunch’ tubs,with lids.Usually £10,or so,for 100.

[@ChipHunter3]

This sort of tutorial is very helpful!! Thank you for putting it up. Also, items in your Stockroom are not for sale on your BL store, right?

[@BrickTsar]

Thank you. Yes - stock room items are not visible to public

[@gieselats]

Thanks for your video. It is really much to do. But it seems that it is a kind of fun for you. It is meditation, not really. But, every one who is ordering parts from bricklink, can assume that it is work. Keep up the good work. I try to organise my movie collection on dvd which is about 3500 dvds.... better watching movies then sorting dvds and adding them to the database.

[@whitehorsebricks2670]

One thing I do struggle with using Brickstock is knowing if I already have a part when allocating a drawer number to a lot. I have a workaround but it's a bit messy, so I only use it for larger uploads. Basically, download store inventory to Brickstock, then set all quantities to zero. Then copy and paste the file for your new upload on top of this, using 'keep original attributes'. Then sort by quantity and delete all lots with zero quantity. What you are left with is your new upload, but with the remarks already labelled with the correct locations.

[@BrickTsar]

What you can do is begin the upload and when you are verifying you can see which lots you don’t already have. Make those changes in brick stock - then upload and verify again before submitting. I usually do what I showed here - check stock room so any that don’t have a remark automatically go to stock room. Then I add the others. My drawers are always full for now so that’s what works best for me

[@jamesrolfe1651]

Thanks for sharing Jabbo! Why not just use Bricklink directly? Isn’t it double work? Is there an advantage to Brickstock?

[@BrickTsar]

BrickLink times out. Might work for a smaller set. After a couple of times of that I stopped using BrickLink directly. It’s sucks to enter in all the prices and stuff them it times out and you have to do it over. Plus with brick stock you can save the file and use it later for the same set. Brick stock actually saves work.

[@jamesrolfe1651]

@@BrickTsar Great! Thank you so much for the information. I guess I have had luck with the smaller sets as you said. I will have to look into Brick Stock.

[@CarCar75]

So I’ve been wanting to buy this MOC on BrickLink (Melbourne Skyline) - www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=115004, but when I use easy buy, it totals out to $700! Help! There’s not even 700 pieces in the set! Is there any way I could bring that price down? Thanks!

[@Tyler-zi6tz]

No more tackling boxes?

[@juliettsolit7918]

wy you dont put more than one lot in a box?

[@whitehorsebricks2670]

I've always used 'Import set inventory' when parting out, it's the same thing, but one fewer step.

[@BrickTsar]

That’s good. Each step saved saves some time

[@briansbrickbarn7351]

#bat I’m just getting started on bricklink and I am trying to sell a lot of my used surplus, mostly second hand finds. Is it worth the time and effort to sort out and sell?

[@whitehorsebricks2670]

I find it quite rewarding, its 'nicer' than dumping bulk on eBay, but sorting used used parts needs to be your hobby as it is very time consuming to sort, price, put away and list.

[@brettbehl3638]

I am new to bricklink. Do you have to get an account, like ebay to have a store? I did not see shipping cost on the items. Does that automatically set price or do you have to?

[@BrickTsar]

Yes - you have to have an account. Each store has their own terms and ways to calculate shipping. Some offer a flat fee. Most calculate it based on the weight of the order. Many sellers you have the option to see the shipping costs before placing the order. Others you might have to look at their terms are ask them. With thousands of sellers, you can't have one flat rule for everybody. Bricklink is really for your more experienced fans of LEGO. It has a learning curve that helps keep scammers and kids off the site. They still try but they are easy to spot

[@brettbehl3638]

You mentioned ebay site. What is your ebay i.d., so I can see what you have for sale?

[@BrickTsar]

[@ElectricianTS]

Dividing the grey pieces requires extreme indirect lighting...

[@Mayo_Jaabo_Hosko]

I never got any unikitty sets. What’s the official part out value of the party bus because I told you that I bought 3 of them for $32.55 USD last month. I’m so mad that the hawks lost in the last 3 minutes of the game. At least the lakers are on top of the western conference. 1st comment

Hopefully Ryan (M&R) didn’t pick on you for the Celtics win. Great video!
