Where do you store your lego, does your prep centre do storage as well?

Yes with my prep center

Even for your Legos where you have a long hold.? The storage expense is still offset by the efficiency of them handling logistics prep?

I pay more than storing them myself.

However, it’s worth having to not do any labor or find a place to store them (to me)

Do you start buying books for busy season in November? I didn't think about how q4 shipping may affect trying to buy in December.

Looks interesting, few questions, as I am living in the US, and willing to invest in LEGO as a total newbie in Amazon:

- Getting $120k/yr benefit is a good target, how much investment would be required to get there ? And how many years?

- Realistically for a total newbie on e-commerce (but being in IT and learning quick), how much time investment is required to get there quickly?

1. You could get there in a year or two. It's the efficiency that comes years 3-5. There is no legitimate answer to the investment question. Some people start with $1,000, some start with $10,000. It can be done with any amount.

2. As much time as you can possibly give will give you the best chance. There is no "quick" in this game. It's about a lot of effort over a long period of time.

Wow, that’s awesome! Does that include your Lego investing returns? Crazy numbers

Expand full comment

Yes.

However, I haven't taken much profit on any during the calendar year.

Do you think it’s possible to use this model successfully if just using amazon.ca?

I don't have a great answer. I've never lived there. I just know it works best in the US.
