McBrick Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Hello, please visit my new LEGO "private store" on www.mcbrick.de I would be very happy about some feedback, what you think of the shop, layout, etc. I am a great Lego fan for over 20 years. It would be great if lots of people could write me their opinions about my recently realized private shop. URL: http://www.mcbrick.de If you are interested in some articles, or if you have questions about how to order or something else, please let me know all your feedback. It would be a pleasure for me to help you. See you soon McBrick
Starwars4J Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Hey, it looks great! I would be able to give a better review if I knew German though :$ Looks like a nice selection of old sets at VERY good prices! You're gonna get a lot of business I'm sure ;)
Khorne Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Actually there's a button in the top-right corner to make it an English page ;) . *EDIT* I watched your page and was surprised by the low prices! Normally stuff like you're selling would be sold at almost the double of your prices.
McBrick Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 Hello again, which articles are too cheap and which ones could be sold in a higher price??? Has anyone a reference list of prices for such articles? Are my prices too correct? Thanks for your replies. :) Has anyone ideas how to promote my shop. Would be nice if I could get some help. McBrick

McBrick I think some of your pirate boats are somewhat too cheap (which isn't a bad thing for the customer ;) ). A lot of old sets and figs on your site are at a reasonable price (compared to E-Bay and Bricklink). I hope you'll have lots of customers. If you want to advertise your shop, you could sign up on a bunch of Lego forums and post your shop adress there.
McBrick Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 Another question: What do you think is more interesting? Complete sets or single parts? Would it be interesting anyone if my shop would offer bricks like bricklink, but especially for European countries? Does such a site exist? Thanks for your feedbacks. McBrick P.S The shop is in three languages; French, German and English.

Would it be interesting anyone if my shop would offer bricks like bricklink, but especially for European countries? Does such a site exist? You sell lots of older sets as I've already said, so I figure you'll make more money of them then selling the Bricks seperately. I don't really know what to reply on your other question. There are tons of Bricklink shops which sell seperate bricks and some of them ship to Europe only. Could you get me some adresses of other LEGO forums in Europe I don't know other European forums except for 1000steine. But there are Europeans on C-C.com too. Perhaps you can search on Google.
Hobbes Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Finally a shop with fair prices :) The collection is pretty solid for someone who just started. I can only speak for myself, but I look for single bricks as well as for sets. Being a town fan I like your collection of sets so far ;) I guess a good mix of single bricks/pieces and sets will sell well. As long as your prices stay fair. I know you want to make profit, but if you're prices are too high you won't sell anything or pretty little. If your prices are fair (as they are now from what I can see) you'll sell more and might have people asking for more. In the end you make more profit. I don't know your financial background, I just hope you can afford to "wait" a little until it really starts off. Good luck :)

McBrick if you wanted to promote your website you could always go to your local toy stores that sell lego and talk to the manager or an employee and see if you could leave little buisness cards or somthing like that with the adress to your website and include that you sell older Lego sets such as pirates and space. Could just work out for ya.

A parcel to 2kg costs 15 euro + 0,80 euro per 100gramm. So if for example the parcel weight is 1,7 kg, it costs 15 + 13,60 (7x0,8) = 28,60 euro. These parcels are unfortunately not assured. Up to 2kg weight, the parcels are assured. By airway, a 3 kg parcel costs 70,00 euro and is assured to 180 euro. By ship it just costs 48,60 euro, but it can take 2 months till you receive the parcel because its by ship. Please write me an email with the article-numbers (of the shop) you would like to buy, so I can calculate the real weight and tell you how much the shipping costs are. All my Lego articles is European Lego. I don
