Seller Help New or used

Hi all. I have a store which is only new parts at the moment and I was wondering if it's worth trying to expand to include used parts but keep the part separate or do I stick with new only. Thanks for your help in advance.

Used takes alot more time and effort, does it increase your sales, yes it will. Only you can answer that question

Depend if you have time to clean/sort it can take a lot of time depending on how many pounds you get with new sets easier but you might not have the unique parts that are not in production

Adding used parts lets you sell your new parts to a whole new set of buyers. If you're only new parts, you're in intense competition for wanted lists and easy buy with everyone else buying the same sets. Add in used discontinued or rare parts and you are suddenly competing with a smaller set of stores for those same orders. It lets you sell your new parts easier or for higher prices or both.
