Do any of you guys Buy or Sell on Bricklink? And what?
I've bought some loose pieces to complete some of my older sets.
I buy stuff on Bricklink all the time, yeah. There are some good stores. Some, like Missing Brick, even have free shipping. Though Missing Brick does sort of make up for that by having higher over-all prices, it's often the best deal if you just need a couple of small parts and they have them in stock.
Bricklink has been pretty good to me so far. I managed to pick up set 8850 pretty cheap which I've been wanting since the early 90's.
Being in Australia, postage costs can be a bit high for me, though if you are either in the US or Europe then postage can be a lot lower (or free as stated above). I always use Paypal, just in case.
Oh, and each store has different terms and conditions. Sometimes it is a pain to read through the ToS of every store, but doing so makes it easier to avoid making mistakes.
I'm going to buy something there when I have money, and when I find something I want.
I'm currently selling this old set of mine here that I rebuilt a while ago and it's not selling.

Mine is from the store My Bricks. I tried to price it in the middle of the prices, but it won't sell. Any suggestions how I can sell it quicker?
Other than waiting until the three cheaper sets have been sold, there's not much you can do, really.
Well, he could set the price to $110. As it stands I don't know why anybody would pick his store over the 2 cheaper ones in the U.S., those stores also have the advantage of a decent inventory of other pieces, so people could buy more than just the set within the one store.
Or yeah, you could wait until those ones are sold.
When I put mine up for sale about half a year ago, I had the second lowest price, the one lower being only $5 cheaper.
The problem is that it's over $100 dollars and that isn't cheap, people can't always afford to buy something at that price.

Even then, if somebody were going to buy the set, he'd probably buy the cheaper one.
I just signed up for bricklink. The prices look very good. eBay sucks compared to this! 
Bear in mind you have to be 18.
My dad signed me up.
A word of advice, buy from people who say "lego is from a smoke free home" etc. I've got a load of lego smelling of cigs and weed atm.
Good idea. 
I just bought an entire set of 20 stormtroopers.
HELL YES.
I just bought
and
About to buy something
This is an outrageous price. 
I bought my minifigs from ebay before I found Bricklink
The prices were much higher.
