Parting out a new set is an easy and fast way to add pieces to your store. When you look up a set in the Bricklink catalog you will get what is below.
I am using set 76117 Batman Mech vs Poison Ivy Mech since this my next set to part out. Under the My Inventory there is Add to My Inventory and Part Out. The first one is if you want to add the complete set. I mostly part out sets so I will choose Part Out.
The next screen has a lot of info so I have broken it down into sections. Here you can select the quantity of sets. Choose if you want to keep the Minifigs whole or part them out as well. You can choose to add the Instructions, Box and Extra Parts. I recycle the instructions and boxes. They sell but slower than I want to deal with.
The next section of this page you can selection condition, New or Used. Set the Prices to Current Items For Sale Average or Last Six Months Sales Average. The first is the average prices for what is currently available. The second is what the pieces have sold for in the last six months. I am currently using the current average. I also have Upload all Items as Stockroom A checked.
I don’t do tier pricing but you can set discounts depending on how many pieces are bought so I skipped it. The Consolidate should be checked when you are parting sets out. This will combine the new pieces with what you have in your store. If you don’t, the new set will make new listings. That means you will have multiple listings for the same piece. It clutters up a store and can confusing to new buyers so make sure you have Consolidate checked. Of all the options below it I only have New Price changed. This way the prices are updated for the pieces that are in my inventory. Click Submit for Edit at the bottom.
Above is what you get next. Everything in the set will be listed. These are just the first two entries. You can change the prices here if you want. The minifigs I usually round them off but otherwise I leave the prices the same. At the bottom of the very long page click on Verify.
Verify Items give you a new list. Here you can see the My Remarks: TN.022.11 for the Skeleton Arm. This is my location for the piece. The My Remarks field is the best way to keep track of where the pieces are stored at. I save a PDF of this screen for future use. This is the only time I see the locations of the existing pieces in my inventory. Otherwise you have to look up the locations manually if you can’t remember where every piece is. I can’t. There is an Upload button at the very bottom.
The piece are now in your inventory or Stockroom. If you make a mistake you can part out the set with a set quantity of -1 and it will remove all the pieces that you just uploaded. I know for sure that this works. You can check out the pieces in your Stockroom.
