Forums (as with Facebook and Twitter) are places where customers and potential customers share our products and services with others... It is good not to just rely...

    Botw

    BOTW is a human edited directory where you pay for a review rather than a listing so that does not go against Google's guidelines. It is worth following their Facebook page and waiting for a discounted listing that they often announce rather than the full fee.

    Links from private forums, blogs etc

    Retail sites such as Notonthehighstreet / Amazon

    Etsy is good however it does take a lot of promotion to get yourself noticed. And then you are likely to sell to other makers only. (The general public is not really aware of Etsy). Ebay is good and I wouldn't rule it out. I purchased a pendant from a seller on ebay (handmade by the seller)...

    Where to buy lego in bulk?

    haha! The prices they charge to get in I don't think I could afford it though. Just found that Lego do a Pick a Brick service... http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Pick-A-Brick-11998 But at 6p per tiny 1x1 brick it would cost me a fortune! Mick

    Nice site, thanks for sharing that! It is a shame they don't do more colours though. I think I might try phoning Lego to see if they can do a deal but I doubt it. Mick
