The small parts under the hinges are missing, definitely not broken, as I said
under loupe there is no damage at all. Just one of those mysteries, I guess.

and definitely not been snaped off.

Lego stamped on side. Searched through all out PDF sheets and drawn a blank.
Any help would be great, thanks.

You do need to be a bit careful if you use a magnifier to check condition as
it can over emphasise fine damage that is not necessarily seen by the naked eye.
Many new parts have scratches. Not big gouges, but faint scratches to the surface,
especially CMF parts where someone has felt the package rather heavily to identify
it.

But if it is damage you see by eye, and then use a magnifier to confirm, that's
a good idea.

Neck prints can also be deceiving. Sometimes that print is very low density and
even partially missing. This is not always a sign of use. But if there are scratches
up-down on the neck print, it is more likely.

Oh I know, I’m not overly picky about scratches and such because I know that
that can happen inside of sets and in bags with other items, that’s why with
the one item (a shield) I didn’t even mention that to her at first even though
with the naked eye I could see a scratch on the print, but I’m not trying to
nickel and dime anyone but a item listed as new and has bite marks or the item
with the neck print rubbed off from a head being removed ( which it does have
the ink going up the neck and that’s why I said it’s from a head being taken
off) and I’m paying for it to be new I expect it to be in better condition.

  I offer my somewhat personal anecdotal input, in part to balance the incessant
"stolen, nightshift" as you put it, scenarios all too readily expressed
by mostly the under-informed here. To those reading, understand or don't.

It is like anything in life that is slightly outside of the mainstream rules.
If a little bit happens but it is so insignificant that it doesn't really
affect anyone or get noticed, it is not really an issue and can continue. When
it happens much more often, and people start abusing it, then something needs
to be done. In that case, things that would have not been cracked down on in
the past suddenly get cracked down on, even though people see it as legitimate
as it was previously not cracked down on. The sellers and buyers of the transparent
Darth Vader and Batman figures really pushed the boundaries and it seems previous
not disallowed parts have been caught up in this.

Mhm, quality on bricklink seems to be a completely foreign idea to many sellers.
For example this
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1433671
Is an order I placed, it’s not special or rare for me to get items damaged
like that, just about every order I place has items badly damaged that are never
noted (tho there are some amazing sellers as well!)

First, I have to say that most of the buyers that I have bought from have been
very professional and easy to work with. And now I have to rank I guess, I just
received an order today that everything was listed as new but when I looked them
over and I had a couple issues I reached out to the seller and she came back
saying that when these left her home there was nothing wrong with them. One was
a torso listed as “new and never assembled” but I can clearly see where the white
print on the neck is scratched from a head being removed and the second was also
a torso but this one had teeth marks on it. She said she took pictures before
she sent them out and I have asked her to send me them and I have sent her pics
of what I received. She said she had taken these out of the sets herself but
the first torso was from a collectors series and not part of a boxed set. And
another item, that I wasn’t even going to bother about, also comes from a collector
series but came with a couple scratches on it but it was nothing I wasn’t going
to work with but she states that all of it came from new sets that she opened
herself….. but again this wasn’t from a big box set. I understand that some items
scratch while in the bigger sets because of the way they are bagged but I have
also opened quite a lot of new sets and have never come across items in these
states of wear and have NEVER opened one that had teeth marks on anything lol!
She is refusing to rectify anything and said I can return them at my own expense
but that she cannot give me a refund for something that was described accurately
and shipped out accurately, which is false because of what I received proves
she is wrong. I think because Bricklink won’t do much on their end to help the
buyers out SOME of these sellers think they can do whatever they want and that
they can get away with it. She had one negative review over 6 months ago and
a neutral one so I thought I was relatively safe, her negative review was 2 missing
items in the shipment but she refused to compensate for them.
I have one order that currently is under review in PayPal but I don’t want to
keep having to do this, I just want the parts that are described as such to be
sent to me as such. Has anyone else going or been through problems like this?
If so how are you handling it?
Ps I want to state that I use a jewelers loop to review my items in my orders
so I can see all that is wrong or right with a item.

  Hello,

today something very bad happened.

An user made me an order, paid, and I shipped it.
Out of 233 parts, he declared that 1 was incorrect and 5 missing.

I went on my shop to see if I could reship the missing/wrong items but to my
surprise, none of them were available.

I don't want problems, so for a few bucks, I refunded those parts.

Probably, this buyer saw me weak because he then became demanding.

- I'm not happy with the refund. Either you send me half the shipping price
as a compensation, or I will cancel the entire order and ship it back on your
behalf.

Once noted that PayPal states that though he's entitled to, it's on HIS
behalf it became.

- No it's on your behalf. If before I said that I was ok with half shipping
price, now it's full shipping price, or I will cancel the order and open
a claim as "not as described".

I remarked that the parts not as described were refunded, but he said that he
was not needing the order as a whole.

I then went on his feedback profile and see that he already tried this trick
before. A seller paid him to ship the order back, and he never did.

Can we do something in these cases, or are we totally powerless?

I'm not speaking about the PayPal claim, I know I will win it.

But is there a way to defend ourselves from this kind of users?

Leave a note in feedback: Claims X parts missing, refund issued, buyer demanded
half off shipping. BEWARE!

I think this fits.

Hello

So... I purchased Lego's Pac-Man cabinet as well as LED lighting. I'm
also converting it to be motorized and I purchased the Powered Up 4-Port Hub
(85824) and a motor to run the game. As for the lighting, after all has been
installed, I'm left with a USB at the end to plug into a power source to
be manually switched. What I want to do is to plug it into the hub and have both
the motor and the LEDs controlled through the app. So as the title says, IS there
some type of adapter from the Powered Up plug to USB? Or even a train of adapters
that can lead up to a USB?

Thanks for any suggestions.

When was it received?
You've a proof of reception (but of course he received because he complains,
but for PayPal)?

Order total + shipping price?
Refunded parts price?
Qty of parts refunded // total parts?

You did well refunding what was said damaged/missing.


  I'm not speaking about the PayPal claim, I know I will win it.

Then simply ignore?


  But is there a way to defend ourselves from this kind of users?

It's possible they were damaged/missing.

Regarding returning goods, it's also possible - depending your conditions,
when it was received, etc.

But at the buyer cost AFAIK. NOT at your cost.

Now to the point: What does actually qualify as "officially" LEGO
and therefore allowed to be sold here?
Maybe more definitive guidelines would
be useful to all of within the secondary marketplace?



Over the years, for various reasons, certain people and groups of people have
been granted special access to acquire or purchase items/elements that are not
normally available to Non-LEGO employees or even to the general public. Typically
one-time closed-door events or deals, but with full authorization to acquire
those items. Also, typically accompanied by signed or handshake agreements as
well as Non-Disclosure Agreements to NEVER sell those items to the public and
not to talk about it.

Over time, however, and as those items pass from one person or generation to
another, those agreements to never sell may be long forgotten or disregarded.

I won't give specific examples that I know about, but some have included
special access to Lego Model Shop stock rooms; or deals to purchase bricks from
special production runs of specific elements and/or colors; or gifts of special
items as non-monetary compensation; or even as items to be sold to limited audiences
to benefit a third party that LEGO corporate wished to support.

Some of this type of thing still occurs, I am sure, tho I do not have direct
knowledge of such events like I used to have.

My point is that special items someone got 20 or 30 years ago could very easily
show up being offered for sale on BrickLink. And those special items are genuine
LEGO elements.

In fact, as a buyer, I have purchased many items like that on BrickLink and even
gotten some in other ways and have seen a few others with my own eyes. My term
for those items are 'Parts that Don't Exist'. Except that they do
exist, they were just never used in any Lego sets.

Good points. Thanks

brickstore tho the parting out sets feature is a bit of a learning curve. otherwise
just dont close the tab (difficult tho as I've done it myself many times
sometimes losing a lot of work) and then return when you are ready

Can you fly this airplane and land it?

Surely you can’t be serious.

42042 Bionicle Krana Holder 3 x 4 (Scoop / Bucket with Axle Hole)
Parts: BIONICLE {Brown}
Why is this part listed as "42042"? The ID of 42042 (and all the Element
IDs listed on this part) belong the Krana*. Shouldn't the scoop be listed
as "x[number]" since its ID is unknown?

*All 8 shapes of Krana share the same ID, as they were produced in the same mold,
which is how they were randomized.


There is a project on hold to fix this. Just need the time...

Cheers,
Randy

Part 41673 is called "BION. HEAD, INTERM. PLATE" and is contextual to
2002.
I don't know whether this krana holder is an assembly, but I have the following
IDs:

4163137 - 2 Grey
4164414 - 1 White
4164415 - 23 Bright Blue
4164416 - 25 Earth Orange
4164417 - 28 Dark Green
4164418 - 21 Bright Red

4163138 - 27 Dark Grey

Good find!
I don't see any evidence that they're an assembly.

  Just out of curiosity, how frequently do you, as owners of large stores (I'm
thinking 1,000+ orders) get messages from buyers informing you about missing
pieces or broken pieces in their order. I have had to send multiple of these
messages during my time on BL (I really hate doing it) and I wanted to know how
irritating it is on the receiving end.

--Claude

As a small store (550 orders in 2023), we hand 2 orders that were missing an
item or there was an error and we shipped out a second package.

We also had to credit about eight other transactions for a missing part (minor
10-15 cents here or there), which was spotted before shipment.

With 2900 orders to date never recall someone stating a part was broken, discolored
or that there was a quality issue.

Larger stores (50+ transactions a week) running brick sync are surely averaging
2-3 each week if not a lot more.

I also went through and checked the part numbers for the battery covers of each,
much like what's already noted on
 
Part No: 55828c01  Name: Bionicle Weapon Inika Light-up Energized Ice Sword
* 
55828c01 Bionicle Weapon Inika Light-up Energized Ice Sword
Parts: BIONICLE {Pearl Light Gray}

55823's is 56442
55824's is 56451
55825's is 56545
55826's is 56457
55827's is 56460

The number 56444 (noted on 55828 as being for the sword) appears on the black
plastic piece (electronic casing?), and is the same inside all six weapons. If
I were to guess, the numbers for the main part is behind the electronics, but
I'm not quite willing to tear these apart.

Also when displayed like this it's apparent that 55825c01 has a naming inconsistency,
listing the set number. Is there a preference there?

I have seen a few discussions on getting the 6 month average for a store's
inventory using BrickStore but my quesiton is different (I think) from the discussions
I have seen.

I am looking to upload new stock using XML and want to automtically set these
products to the 6 onth average. FIrstly i gues is it possbile to do this with
BrickStore automatically. I havent found a way but I'm certainly no expert.

My option was to try and download all parts with the 6 month average and the
join them together to populate the XML.

Are either of these possible via Bricklink, BrickStore or any other tool?

Thanks everyone

If it is from a new released set that just hasn't been inventoried yet, then
that is really silly. You'd think they would have more things to do than
delete parts like that from sale.

42042 Bionicle Krana Holder 3 x 4 (Scoop / Bucket with Axle Hole)
Parts: BIONICLE {Brown}
Why is this part listed as "42042"? The ID of 42042 (and all the Element
IDs listed on this part) belong the Krana*. Shouldn't the scoop be listed
as "x[number]" since its ID is unknown?

*All 8 shapes of Krana share the same ID, as they were produced in the same mold,
which is how they were randomized.


There is a project on hold to fix this. Just need the time...

Cheers,
Randy

Part 41673 is called "BION. HEAD, INTERM. PLATE" and is contextual to
2002.
I don't know whether this krana holder is an assembly, but I have the following
IDs:

4163137 - 2 Grey
4164414 - 1 White
4164415 - 23 Bright Blue
4164416 - 25 Earth Orange
4164417 - 28 Dark Green
4164418 - 21 Bright Red

So getting back to the subject of the post, if you don't mind that is
What should be the guidelines or parameters for what is "official"
LEGO here on BL?

The simplest rule would be items from official sets. Then other items as custom
items on a case by case basis as BL sees fit, which is pretty much what it is
now.

Not that that would necessarily stop stolen, nightshift or similar items. If
illegitimate copies of (expensive) production parts are made, who is to know
of the origin? The only reason some parts stand out is that they are not known
in sets. Only allowing items that have appeared in sets could just shift what
is made by bootleggers. Although a lot of that bootleg jellybean type minifigure
trade still exists on ebay and facebok for the "rare", "prototype"
parts or whatever other description they want to use.

Good points.

I offer my somewhat personal anecdotal input, in part to balance the incessant
"stolen, nightshift" as you put it, scenarios all too readily expressed
by mostly the under-informed here. To those reading, understand or don't.

It is not from PAB. That was just an example to show that there are also legit
ways to get unreleased lego parts.
I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014.

I think the point is that even if you bought the part here a decade ago, who
is to say that that seller's source was legitimate?

~Jen

The part has been retired for 30 years. This is 99.9% sure just a test part that
escaped the factory.

Especially in the 1990s, there were many legal ways such parts found their way
out of the factory. Leftover parts were, for example, sold in model shops and
employee shops. Employee children got to play with prototype sets to evaluate
them, and were allowed to keep them. Those were different times.

They also say "60596" if that helps. Thanks all!

They look fine. The note also mentions end studs that are partially hollow.

Thanks yorbrick!

Don't bother.
If it's molded LEGO, it's 99.99999999999999% chance LEGO.

Counterfacters don't sign with the breand name, for obvious reasons.

Thanks 1001bricks. That answers my question. Have a good weekend all!
