After years of building Lego Technic models I took the decision to get rid of the thousands of bits. I looked up some of the websites I had used to buy parts from in the past and decided to set up my own shop on Bricklink. Bricklink only charge 3% comission on stuff that actually sells which is the big advantage. Each part is sold individually, so I’ve had to catalogue the thousands of parts ready for sale. Current count is 17,000 bits.

As an alternative I also investigated eBay. Problem with ebay is the fairly large comission. I worked out on an £8 sale the commission could be nearly £2. I decided to try out ebay and listed my first item as a buy it now. Well after 5 days it sold today
Technic Lego Axles - 170 - Assorted Sizes Black

The process was smooth and ebay makes it easy for you. There’s plenty of opertunities to refine your listing as you go along.

So much so I’ve listed my second item -

Lego Technic V6 Engine Assembly - ideal spare parts
