This is the thing I truely hate about this business.

On average we have approx 200 damage lego sets always on hand. Some flip on ebay as soon as they come in others, I can't give away

Has anyone had decent sales lately?  Mine have all but dried up.  Everything I look at either doesn't have a buy box or if it does they are all through FBA sellers.  Even items I have lots of stock and lowest price by a good margin I can't get a BB for.

If your doing standard size sets you should be using FBA,

dry as the sahara. Economy related or late February doldrums?

What do we all think about undercutting Amazon on price for zombie's sets? There used to be chatter to the effect that Vory's or Amazon clamp down on sellers that do that.

I'm all FBM now.  Good variety so I can move at a decent daily pace but overall the volume is just not there like it used to be.  I blame Amazon more than anything economic.  Suppressed listings, no buy boxes, and no listings at all.  I've been in this game a long time and have always rolled with the punches and adjusted strategies but I'm not sure I'm going to fight my way through what is going on now.  It doesn't really matter the return if you can't move the product.

Tough to bet on a listing if Amazon carries it because how long will they continue with it?  No worries, I'll buy Lego exclusives.  Ooops, no listings for those now.  Retiring Lego exclusive?  Oops, Amazon suddenly has it.  GWP's?  nope.  Best I can do right now is maximize my pricing through FBM.
