| One observation that surprises me from reading this thread is just how many sellers
count and list their entire inventory on Bricklink down to the very last part?
I guess a business seller may feel the need to do this or the seller may already
know the exact quantity they have after parting out sets themselves and sorting/counting
as they go but generally speaking I feel it’s more important to be precise over
counting parts for an order rather than for inventory and by that I mean sometimes
it might be easier to only list part of your inventory at a time, that way you
can estimate the quantity listed in your store without feeling the need to count
it all
For instance if you estimate you have around 500 of a part. Maybe only list 400
and then worry about accurately counting and updating your store inventory as
you start to get down to the last 100 or so!
Also people mention human error and that's fine since we all make mistakes
but there's usually more to it than that since 1 or 2 errors in every 50-100
orders may very well be acceptable as human error but 1 or 2 errors in every
5-10 orders well that's more a case of carelessness and these types of mistakes
usually come about from cutting corners and not wanting to give the counting
process the required time and care it needs in order to be accurate. If low value
parts are not worth a sellers time to count carefully and accurately then that's
fine but then they also shouldn't mind over counting by an extra 5 or 10
pieces to be sure the buyer isn't left short!
Either way for those wanting to be more accurate I'd recommend using a bun
baking tray and counting five per section, Any section short a piece will stand
out a mile with just the quickest of glances!
