It has been a minute!
by Jaki MilakovicOur monthly revenue has jumped dramatically! While we're super excited we really want to continue to grow our business. Even with 40+ customers we have a lot of Lego that is just sitting on the shelf waiting for someone to choose them! In addition to the ones that are on the shelf we are also always updating our stock because we know that so many new and exciting sets are going to continue being released.
We've moved into a new space which has helped make it simpler to clean, dry, and put sets away. The only difficulty that we're now running into is keeping our desk area clear when we are not sorting sets by color. We'll hopefully expand into another area so that we have more table space and another area to place a drying rack. We're usually able to clean 5-8 sets each time that we clean, but the bigger sets cause a bit of a back up as we're trying to keep them sorted by color which isn't always feasible.

Your business idea is sound! I went through your posts over the past year, and it caught my attention. I've been thinking about your journey and how great an Indie Hacker example your case is. It's fantastic to have you sharing your ideas. (Curious: What do you do if the returned bags weigh less than they should? How do you deal with missing pieces from both the client and inventory perspectives?)

Thanks so much for reaching out!!
In the instances where the weight is off we have to do our due diligence and count pieces to see what is missing so that we can replace them. It can be really rough, especially with the bigger sets but I personally enjoy counting and sorting so it doesn't bother me :)
