Adding Pieces To Your Store: Part Out

Parting out a new set is an easy and fast way to add pieces to your store.  When you look up a set in the Bricklink catalog you will get what is below. 

I am using set 76117 Batman Mech vs Poison Ivy Mech since this was my next set to part out.  Under the My Inventory there is Add to My Inventory and Part Out.  The first one is if you want to add the complete set.  I mostly part out sets so I will choose Part Out.

This screen has many things to select. Here you can select the quantity of sets.  Choose if you want to keep the Minifigs whole or part them out as well.  You can choose to add the Instructions, Box and Extra Parts.  Then you can selection condition, New or Used.  Set the Prices to Current Items For Sale Average or Last Six Months Sales Average.  The first is the average prices for what is currently available.  The second is what the pieces have sold for in the last six months.  I am currently using the current average.  I also have Upload all Items as Stockroom A checked.

Lower on this page is this Consolidate section. You will have some of these pieces from this set in your store. This section allows you to combine these into one listing. You don't want to have multple listings of the same piece and condtion and can be a turn off to buyers. Change the first box to New Price and New Tier Pricing. This will update your current listings to the current pricing.

The next page lists all the pieces in the set. You can delete pieces here if you don't want to list them change quantities and price as well. I have it set up to put any pieces that I don't have in my inventory to go into Stockroom A. When all done continue to the next screen.

Verify Items give you a new list.  Here you can see the My Remarks: TN.022.11 for the Skeleton Arm.   It also shows consolidated. It is a part I have in my inventory and pulls up the location so I don't have to find where it goes.  I save a PDF of this screen for future use. This is the only time I see the locations of the existing pieces in my inventory. Otherwise you have to look up the locations manually if you can’t remember where every piece is. I can’t. There is an Upload button at the very bottom.

When you get to this screen those pieces are in your store. Either consolidated with existing pieces or in a Stockroom. I will had the locations to the pieces in the Stockroom and release them into the store.
