Thanks in advance.

"new" figures as "mint" or "great condition" and then
95% of their used figures have damage that has to be noted like:
"FIGURE IS GREAT CONDITION!, except the torso is cracked and there are scratches."
I've sold thousands of used minifigures and probably 10% of them have had
damage that's required adding a description. Are these the unluckiest resellers
in the world or perhaps there's something fishy about all of their "new"
figs...

What about that
Yesterday i came across the following item description listed as new 'from
collector'. The store has 1000+ feedbacks history with more than 99% positive
Some sellers cant imagine that VGC or 'as new' does not mean new
|
Gees, I feel like a choir boy then considering how much I can overshare about
some used pieces. https://store.bricklink.com/Yellow.Brick?p=Yellow.Brick&itemID=337018738#/shop
And believe it or not, someone bought one of my classic red ones that was super
chewed on over the one that was mint. I guess they needed a damaged one for
some perverse macabre reason. 
I always err on the side of caution. It's only new if I personally take
it out of the box and part it out.
|
I especially liked the comment for the listed fig, "Was nibbled on by dog
about 30 years ago so there are three tooth marks" - very honest and up front.
That made me want to buy it just so I could see 30 year old dog teeth marks .
By the way, how do you know the dog chewed it 30 years ago??
Jim.

| If he is a drop shipper, like many have already guessed at (I think so to), then
that would probably mean he will not try to scam any of the stores he is buying
from because he will want to keep his feedback clean so that he can continue
buying here and not burn any bridges along the way. His business only continues
if he keeps the sellers he buys from happy. We have never had any problems with
drop shippers.

where customers who have purchased sets that required us to send an invoice,
lived in states that collect taxes. I assumed BL had collected the taxes from
PayPal like when customers pay using onsite payments (which is 99.9% of our orders).
And like I mentioned, we have been doing it this way for years - that is why
I wondered if maybe BL has changed something.
|
BL can't collect the taxes unless the buyer pays on-site - if the buyer pays
directly through PayPal BL never "sees" that transaction.
It could just be that this situation just hasn't happened to you over the
past few years (as you say, most buyers pay on-site; and if a buyer lives in
a state that doesn't collect sales tax, it doesn't matter).
|
I agree, I think that is exactly what happened. Well, at least now I have that
option removed from the invoice I send out.
