  Thanks for the content! One question I do have. If I hae the same item, lets take 3001 in blue in two different conditions, used but "like new" and used but "heavy playware". So I put the two conditions in remarks. Now, if I add more parts, etc and at some point want to consolidate items, those two are always thrown together, even though they differ in remarks and condition. How can I avoid that, so they remain as two seperate items?

  @kiwibrickexchange2 күн бұрын

  It’s a great question and one that can be tricky with Brickstore when combining lots. My recommendation would be having two separate lots and not consolidating as the lots are in such different condition. As I mention in most of my videos I don’t list heavy playwear unless it’s a more expensive or rare part. It would also be an issue where you copy remarks when adding and hence why I would not add the heavy playwear. Also make sure if you do add any information it’s in the “comment” line. The remarks line is where you add your store code/location. Let me know if you have any questions or if you want to have a longer discussion there is a link in the description.

  Thanks for the reply. „Heavy used“ was just an example, more likely it’s going to be rare parts where to put comments. So no way this can be done? Because when consolidating, you also can’t like skip the particular part. Quite annoying that this is not working…

• 
  @kiwibrickexchangeКүн бұрын

  If you are wanting it then I would copy that line to a separate Brickstore file and do a separate upload. There is no individual option per line on Brickstore that I have seen to consolidate or not - it generally is the box you tick on Bricklink

  Thank you for another great video! Brick Freedom seems really useful showing how many pieces should remain. For sorting my brother got me one of those wooden sifters and that really helps break bulk into different sizes quickly, then I have a similar technique to your cups before filling my drawers.

• 
  @kiwibrickexchange12 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the feedback again. Yes, use whatever categories work for you - I just find breaking it into those help to get it easier to part out into actual lots. The serving trays I bought this week should help as well, I’ve also seen some cool wooden tables but that will be when I have a bit more space

  It’s definitely something that could be done to fund more sets - but some pieces do take time to sell. I’d suggest finding a good bulk kit with minifigures and try resell the mini figures for a similar price - that will mean you keep all the parts yourself 👍🏼

  I wash all blocks in buckets of water with a dash of bleach and detergent by default because these are for my grandkids. I spread them out on towels for a few days until they feel dry then do a quick sort by simply pushing them into piles, for a further sort into Kwiklok freezer (tougher) bags.. Where I am there is an annual sale by Green Shed of 13 tonnes of Lego which allows you to pick out the parts you want. It is a massive scramble and the experienced buyers wear gloves. People are very co-operative, it pays to tell others what you are looking for.

•
