Does anyone else notice anything odd about this store? They had zero sales as
of yesterday afternoon. They had 4 Green Grocer sets listed which sold out overnight.
Today they posted several more. They also added more high end sets like the
Black Pearl, all in numerous quantities.
They only have two reviews for sales which only took place yesterday. Both reviewers
have zero feedback. Also, they are offering free FED-EX shipping anywhere in
the world. I have a strong suspicion this may be a scammer. If you agree, please
help by reporting this to the admins so they can check it out.

| Years ago, when I first shopped on BL as a new customer, I found the set I was
looking for in a new store for a great price. The price was too good to be true.
The seller had a good number of the set I was looking for along with a few other
highly sought after sets. Long story short, the seller was a scammer and I had
to file a claim with PayPal to get my money back. I remember posting the issue
here on this forum and getting laughed at for falling for a scam. True story!
I came across a store just now that is set up the same exact way and it gives
out the same vibe: all expensive, highly collectable sets with a quantity of
3 to 5 of each, small inventory, no loose parts or minifigs, no feedback, brand
new store, and the biggest red flag: free shipping via Fedex.
I've been away from BL since pre-covid so it's been awhile. From my
understanding, new stores aren't easy to open here anymore. This one may
very well be legit, but it certainly seems very suspicious. I would hate to
call out an honest seller so I won't name the store here, but I would like
to know if that sort of thing still happens, and if something seems off, what
is the correct procedure to follow, if any?

| I am trying to figure out how to price my new and sealed sets using Brickseller
or similar. The problem I am running into is that there is no way of pricing
within the subcategory of New vs New AND Sealed. Depending on the seller, 'New'
may be defined as a just the sealed bags sans the box, and/or instructions, or
in other cases, without minifigs.
From my understanding, the API does not provide access to this distinction.
Given that there is definitely a price difference between these, how do other
sellers automate their pricing without having to check each item one by one?
That's not an option when you have hundreds of new sets.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

| I have asked this question in the past but there wasn't a solution. I am
hoping someone may have been able to find one since then.
For sellers like myself who only sell to US customers and want to price their
items based strictly on available US inventory, BL's price guide returns
very inaccurate results, usually below the lowest prices.
Has anyone figured out a workaround to this issue so that a seller could extract
pricing based solely on inventory located in the US?
