Hello everyone!
I’ve recently had the idea to sell Minifigure Blind Bags on my store page and
was wondering if it’s a good idea or not? They’d be Custom Items, probably Star
Wars, from my own collection, and be $5-$8. I wanted to gather any feedback and
info on this as I haven’t seen anyone else do this.

Are Blind Bags even allowed to be sold on BrickLink? (As in would it be considered
a potential scam activity?)
Is there any interest on here for anyone to buy them?
Anything info would be appreciated.

Peace!
-Conch

I wouldn't - as you're not a factory, I wouldn't trust you on not
filtering out the expensive Minifigures by touch / weight, whatever, and only
selling the least desirable ones... IMO.

What you sell in the mystery pack just need to be close ish to the price you
sell them for just to reduce the possibility of a angry costumer

Also price depends if they are minifigures from sets or just randomly thrown
together

Great feedback, thanks!
They would be from sets, they’re just minifigs that I’d like to part ways with.
They’d all be worth around the $5-8 price, and be in great or better condition.

not likely to be allowed here besides which it's always best for customers
to know exactly what they are getting else you run the risk of disappointment
from your buyers
