| What's happening with sales?
Is it normal in May or summer to have such small and infrequent sales and low
activity in stores?
Thanks

| Yes, it's normal - sales usually die down during summer & won't pick
up till around October/November during the holiday season

It's been like that every year I've been selling. Nicer weather and
more people are spending time outside for both recreation and general yard work
is my best guess. Here in the states it starts to dial back around early April
which is when people are working on their income taxes and I think some people
see how much they spent the previous year and restrain themselves - until they
get their tax return.

Maybe some stores need to offer some good sales to jump start things.

Is 60% off enough? I’ve only had 4 orders this month and they were all under
$4 before shipping

You need more parts in your store, I see you have a decent # of lots for a small
store but also small quantities.

Not to besmirch your shop, I can't get an order that justifies the shipping.
I am not saying your shipping is too high. I just have a threshold that an
order has to reach to justify the shipping cost to me. Right now, the order
would be 80% filler to hit my minimum to 20% of what I really need. And why
I will do what I can to help a seller along, I can't justify that order at
this point in time. You just have to bulk up your store.

The (admittedly few, since I mainly buy sets and have a large passed down collection)
orders I have placed on this site have been stores with high quantities of the
part I want. Me and a couple buddies building a MOC have been waiting for a store
to list more than 100 2x1x3s in Dark Tan since January, I got about 130 when
they did pop up for .09c a piece in one store.
I think right now looking for high quantities of parts at a sale price would
do stores a lot of good-as I imagine now is the MOCing time of the year for people
who buy Lego year-round, with none of the main sets releasing until June, and
as someone else posted about, there are Lego conventions aplenty.
Of course, people needing the pieces sooner than the long time I am willing to
wait (Brickfair VA is in August...) probably buy the quantity pieces for whatever
the price, idk.
Just my two cents

Well your sales might be slow but you have a really cool store name.

| It's not my fault! During this time of year, I always buy more since I'm
building stuff for Brickworld Chicago, and this year is no exception.

Just a heads up you have a typo in your banner. You have “prises” it should be
“prices”
