I've a few coincidences out of the thousands of orders I've had.

My family lives spread out over the UK, I have had orders from someone who lives
on my dad's road, my sister's road and the road I grew up on. None of
these buyers know us.

I have also had a sale from a guy who I was in the process of buying from eBay.
For the same value as well, which confused me enormously looking at my paypal
account.

One thing that hasn't happened but would be great is to make a sale to a
buyer that I know from outside the lego world.

  Matt

thanks a lot, I see I have done that (sometimes), and whilst it says 4000 have
the item on the wanted list, only one notification is sent presumably because
we are limiting our shipping to UK only

Is there a GDPR or other reason why they cant share interest parties USer ID
to make direct approaches?

Any other helpful selling tips would be gratefully received...! so much cheaper
than EBAY here ! their fees are extortionate when you add promotion, its around
25% in total.

  hi, am wuite new to bricklink, but I see on the pages a "wanted list"
and the number of people who have a set or minifigure on that wanted list

Is there a tool which matches you with the buyers who have something on a wanted
list when you advertise?

do they get a notification when you list something they have as "wanted"

If not, why not, surely they are missing a trick here ! would make for much faster
sales.

many thanks

When you add stock to your store there is a 'send out wanted list notification'
button.

As a buyer you can opt to be notified when sellers list items on your wanted
lists.

Sending you contact details of users who match your parts on their wanted lists
would definitely be a huge data breach.

If your store has a decent range and attractive prices, buyers will find you
quickly enough.

  I mean, if you want to be sure it never sells, then price it like this

Those prices seem to me to be placeholders on items that really should be in
a stockroom rather than for sale. But hey, someone may want one desperately.

  Hello!

I’m hoping that someone can offer some suggestions that I have not tried yet.
I have set # 7720. It was sitting in the basement for years. There is corrosion
on the metal conductors. I have used white vinegar and baking soda paste which
worked a bit. I also tried Coke but that was not so successful. I popped all
new batteries in and it is not working. There’s still some corrosion so that
might be the problem. Has anyone ever had this issue? What did you use? Did it
work when you were done?

I would appreciate any advice. I would hate to just have to part out this classic
set.

Have you tried a fibre glass pen?
