| | When re-selling a used set with the instructions included, if they were never
folded originally, is it acceptable to fold them when shipped with the set, or
is that frowned upon? I have some sets with larger instruction booklets, and
while the sets themselves may not take up much space, if I don't fold the
instructions then I would require a much larger box. If I were to fold the instructions
in half, is that something I am expected to disclose in the item listing, or
is folding instructions something that is generally acceptable and does not need
to be indicated?

I sell a lot of instructions.
Its very important to not fold them. In fact you may want to include a backing
board, even if this raises your shipping cost.

claiming cost of product is too high, and then demands hiring of more labor.

Hey Chili! I've ordered from you a few times and I am not ignoring anyone.
I even sent several personal messages to people thanking them for their help.
I got the issue figured out. I haven't made an order in like 6 months because
I just moved from the address you've shipped me probably 3 packages to, to
the midwest. I forgot that you actually put in the payment information after
you get the invoice (stupid, I know). I did a bunch of work for some family
here and thought it would be fun if they just bought me some lego (the new ones
tomorrow) instead of paying me. I'll probably only spend ~1500 not the full
2000 and call it a deal.
Just thought it would be fun for them to just buy the lego instead, nothing nefarious.
Anyways, nice to hear from you again! Look forward to a cool youtube movie I'm
making featuring all the space sets from classic through exploriens! I've
been planning to message a thank you to all the people I've bought from on
here and share the video with them. But I'm still in the filming phase!
Anyways, thanks for at least responding to my help request!
Cheers

Lol I just realized you were one of my regulars  forgive my bluntness, It just
struck me as very odd to not take the seemingly easiest route.
Glad to hear it's nothing crazy.. I'm still confused as to why it can't
just be transferred though? Maybe someone can explain for my own knowledge. I'm
guessing having them link to a new BL account may be easier as well. Either way
sounds like someone got you sorted with a solution
Yes! Please share the vid when you are finished, that sounds amazing.
And good luck tomorrow morning. I'm on central time and am setting an alarm.
Hopefully we all can get something (or multiples of somethings)

It's a bug I see since the Refund page exists.
When you've input any amount in the "Refund amount Buyer will receive"
field, then using your mouse to scroll either up or down will increase or
decrease the value by increment of 1 (ex: 12.37 = 13.37, 14.37, etc)

scrolled up, down, left, right, expanded, contracted... nothing changed.

Depends the position of your cursor, the rotation speed or start time, many things...
Here I can make it happen 100% of the times.
Confirmed to happen here on Firefox and Nubs on Opera IIRC - at least, didn't
try other browsers.

I was using chrome when it happened
oddly on this second laptop, that uses Edge instead of chrome, I get a whole
different set of ghost clicks instead of scrolls. Again, for irony, I was typing
this message and it randomly went to an unrelated page on bricklink I had not
been to before. I did not have my hand on my mouse. I guess its possible my wrist
is bumping the pad though, but I don't think so
Also this laptop will once a week claim I can't log into bricklink because
of cookies not being enabled (they are) and it will randomly stop asking and
let me in the site.

Interesting. I've had the same problem on occasion listing parts. I get to
the screen to enter values and it has seemingly scrolled on its own and selected
an entirely different part. I've almost listed things I didn't have due
to this, and I'm sure I probably have too, because things come up sold that
I don't remember every having and subsequently cannot find. Ironically the
refund today was for such a part. It also sold in a non existant color, so a
double mistake (had I actually listed something and messed up). No doubt too
big of an error for me to have simply typo'd.
It comes in spurts. Sometimes years inbetween.

| I'm curious, I ran across a UK seller with parts I'd like but in 5000
sales they have nearly 40 negs. Almost all of them have the seller blaming the
Royal mail service.
About 30 or so are people complaining about either missing orders, or missing
parts, and then the missing parts are mailed and those come up missing.
Basically almost all the bad reviews are claiming the order or replacements never
came and the seller just replies with how they are not responsible.
Almost every reply is a version of "too bad, so sad". I find a
hard time believing this person isn't just ripping people off.
I've shipped, goodness, 6k parcels at least between various platforms and
I've had only 2 vanish. So will someone vouch for this person or are they

Also recently I had two of my paypal payments from Canada to the USA held, for

That said, you'd see it in your balance, but just be unable to use or withdraw

of a used brick and surpassing the new brick price of it. Let alone the storage
space required when you need 3 or more places to store the same brick due to

That being said good luck going forward

I do this and so do many people, though mostly I separate decades not grades
but same effect.
People will pay more to know what they are getting. Also you ignore that most
people decide not on price, or quality as much as availability. My experence
is cheap/new only/ parts stores tend to not have what I need. You can have cheap
new parts all you want, but if you only have half what the buyer needs and I
have it all. Its cheaper to buy from one place than two. Usually.
There's room in the market place for both.

My opinion, most parts should be like new unless they are rare.
Quality over quantity.
I just take all the rare and valuable stuff from the lots (most of the value
of your lot is going to come from 5% of the parts, mostly figures and figure
accessories) then sell the bulk on other marketplaces.
I'm not going to pick a 10 cent part and then have a buyer complain about
the condition of that same part or have them receive one knockoff in say 100
1x2 plates.
The math on sorting out basic bricks (excluding rare colors) is horrible.
|
I agree and this is basically what I do.
I've watched YT vids of big sellers sorting literally everything in bulk
lots and listing it all. I just can't do it. Also the time involved, I've
also come to the same conclusion about money.
Bulk lots, I pull anything I want, then the obvious parts to list, then I see
if there is bulk of certain pieces that warrant me pulling those, even if they
are cheaper. Then to ebay it goes
I've gotten garbage over the years and massive bulk sorting is got to be
the way its missed.

I don't have a strict grading system, but as a general rule I don't like
to sell parts with noteworthy playwear unless old or rare. I usually use great/good
shape, light playwear or playworn/scratched
I also have about 1400 instructions listed, graded.
I have seen many many orders were the buyer bought from me simply because the
part had a comment, even if my price was higher, the comment less competition
didn't get the sale. I make it a point to grade everything used.

most parts on the site sell in the 1-50cent range, so a minimum buy keeps up
from having to pull and pack hundreds tiny orders a month.
If you want to pay the difference up to $10, as a handling fee, I'm sure
most sellers will do that. But basically it means you need to buy $10 worth of
stuff.
I'm guessing you chose the store based on price, you'll find alot of
the cheaper stores have minimums that are on the higher end. Most seem to have
a min of $1.
Mine is $3, which is on the high end IMO.

How can Miami be your local USPS office if you don't live in the USA? Are

As some sellers don't want to ship to third party handlers because of issues

I know why (for what reasons) and when I should block somebody. But I have no
idea why I get blocked by some sellers on Ebay. I already know that by messaging
a seller to ask extra photos,... I am already at risk of getting blocked.
Later time, I got blocked by a seller in the USA after few messages back and
forth. I have absolutely no idea why he blocked me. I politely asked him the
reason and what I did wrong. He did not answer me. As a seller, I literally cannot
come with a reason that he might have to block me.
I believe you did not teach him when and who he has to block. 
I wanted badly his rare Lego listings and used a friend's account to buy
the products from him. Now I really want to leave a negative feedback for him.
Is this over-reacting?
I can even pass my communications with him. Maybe you have a better understanding
on how Ebay works.
|
Well, I have a couple ideas for you.
One, I've noticed that Americans in general, tend to freak out if they aren't
used to selling out of the country, I don't know if we get conditioned to
think everyone outside of the USA is a scammer, or its just inate, but the amount
of people posting on forums asking if completely normal buyers are scamming them
simply because they are outside the USA is really really high (we see it here
on occasion as well)
My next guess is Ebay has changed their return and feedback rules and its gotten
out of hand, and I'm guessing it spooks alot of sellers. We now get completely
screwed if there is a return, and usually asking questions means a pickier buyer,
which raises the risk for returns. I've personally blocked people asking
about expensive items on ebay because at this point I'm terrified of returns.
I've been moving all my items to Mercari because of this.
I had like 2 returns in 7 years on ebay, but recently I've had, what, 6,
7? It's gotten completely out of hand, AND we can't leave negative feedback.
Garbage site at this point
as far as the neg, I don't know. If the above seems like it makes sense to
you (he got spooked) then I wouldn't, but if hes just a jerk go for it. Negs
do disapear after 6 months, so I personally don't sweat them, but even if
he freaks out, he'll be fine.

If they can't donate it then at least they should put it in a bin with other
plastics and send it to a plastics recycling facility. I'm sure non-LEGO
elements wouldn't be a problem to recycle into new products made from recycled
plastics.
What needs to happen is that the charities need to be made aware that there are
options that would reduce their landfill contributions and therefore make their
waste streams somewhat more environmentally friendly. That might mean changes
in the way in which charities operate.
As for the plastics, it's just an extra bin that they throw plastics into
and have collections set up on a regular basis.
There's also a fairly new recycling method that shreds the incoming plastics
into small pieces and then steam under pressure is used to turn them back into
oil products. That means a recycling effort might be possible to implement because
that oil product can then be refined and reused.
It does, however, mean that a lot more effort has to be focused on recycling
products instead of sending them to waste streams. Companies are slow to implement
changes to how they handle waste streams because a lot of it involves expenses
associated with handling and shipping the waste. Individuals may do their part
for the recycling process but there still isn't a properly focused effort
on getting any recycling process to 100% or near that in terms of efficiency.
Our world is slowly becoming a plastic world, but we can make a difference. Even
the oceans are getting plastics and other floating debris removed from them.
If they can clean up the oceans surely diverting the plastics out of landfill
isn't entirely impossible. Someone just needs to come up with a properly
scaled solution that fits the current and future needs of plastics recycling.
Just my 2c worth.
Cheers ...

The USA wasn't actually recycling most of what goes into those sorted bins.
Most of it was being exported to China. China finally said they wouldn't
take it anymore. There's been large campaigns to explain to Americans that
we were lied to, and nearly nothing we "recycled" actually got recycled.
Just shipped overseas where its often burned
Last I checked the USA was scrambling to find another country to take the stuff.
We don't really have recycling infrastructure here aside from sorting facilities.

I can think of 25 worse pets that are far more common (looking at you, exotic

Growing up I never understood why my friends poor families only bought new stuff.
I remember taking my best friend as a child to a thrift store with me because
they had a toy section and she was blown away. Said she'd never been to one.
Same later in life when I was in the life of a child that was growing up with
nearly nothing. She was confused as to why nothing was in packaging.
pretty sure they burn trash here for the same thing. I know my neighbors also
burn their trash and leaves every year. They don't compost anything, cut
down trees like crazy. I know they also recycle basically nothing. It's been
hard for my West Coast Soul to get used to. I think I'm the last house on
my side of the street with any trees.
I sold a property down the road, and it was so beautiful. I drove past it for
the first time in a year and the guy who bought it clear cut it.

Indeed. I started looking for cans for extra cash. Found so many items I taught
myself ebay. 3 years of ebay I was able to put a down payment on my house with
the cash I made from *trash* and cans. I moved away and didn't have opportunities
in my new city.
I don't buy anything new at all to this day unless its impossible (food,
car parts, etc). Its all used. Getting on ebay is how I got back into the lego
hobby, which is also how I ended up here eventually. Weird world but I'm
grateful for the experiences.

sooo, I was freegan for 3 years. Yes, yes they do. Also I know a well known Youtuber

of people is myself. Most days its so damaged that I leave it.

My personally point of view, is that if you are getting this stuff from a charity,
if its dirty or full of fakes, and that bothers you. You probably don't need
charity as much as a humbling.

My biggest issue would be I'd have a hard time finding out how much it would
cost to snail mail it to a foreign country (google is usually not accurate on
this, ime) so I'd probably make a guess, ask them to overpay a little and
refund after going to the post office.
another note, if they have to stand in line at the post office to get an accurate

The first time it was a bunch of expensive elves parts. The person wouldn't

never did. Ate that one
The second time, they were super gracious, and sent them to the buyer for me,
even after I told them it wasn't their problem and they could jsut return
them to sender (me). I paid her for the new label, gave her a generous coupon
for her help, and she used it immediately, so win win for everyone.
Third time, I had just moved and they just did a return to sender without letting
me know until I figure out something was wrong. So it went 2000 miles the wrong
way. I contacted the guy who bought my house who told me he'd sent it to
my buyer. I sent him a label and everything. He never did it. Ate it again.

Just stick to manual invoice and charge nothing for shipping IMO

other manual invoice options and suddenly those disappeared and all that was
left was In person pickup. I had to get rid of this option and re-enable the
others and then it all worked.
Is it possible to have other manual options or does the system default to the
$0 shipping one for request for invoice ? I am able to have 2 manual options
- Economy & Priority , so I'm baffled why I cannot have a 3rd option for
local pickup. Anyone have any ideas about this? Just wondering how many options
you can have on a store.
thanks

As someone whos tried this, save yourself a headache and don't add the option.
90+% of buyers will chose it, without reading it, trust me

If those are issued are IRL minifigs ... Collect the entire set !

I doubt they will all become real figures, even Minecraft has not got anywhere
near that number yet. Another interesting point is whether this spells the end
for LEGO Minecraft. It is like LEGO doing Star Trek alongside Star Wars.

??
Minecraft is wildly popular and translates to lego very well. People were begging
for it before it was released.
Also fortnite is an IMO entirely different game and userbase. The comparison
is dubious at best, the only thing they have in common is being popular and being
a game.
I mean if that's the reason it will "end" why are there now Genesis
and Nintendo Character lines?

| | So I have these two boxes that appear to be from the 60s. Does anyone know what
these are and exactly how to value these? There’s literally nothing on the boxes
except for the words “Building Toy” and the tape that reads “Lego Loveland”.
I assume there are just multicolored bricks inside of here, but is it possible
that these are actual sets of something? Or just random bricks? Both boxes
are unopened and I don’t want to open them. Any help would be much appreciated!

The two sets you have are Kraft / Velveeta mail away co-proms:

THANKS so much for the assistance. Just curious...the boxes appear to both be
the same size. Do you think they are both the same promotional set? The reason
I ask is because I see there were 3 or 4 promo sets but they were all different.
I assume if the sets were different the box sizes would also be different?
Just trying to find if both boxes are set number 1 or if they are different.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Do you have a gram scale? Different sets probably have different weights.

Years ago, Ebay removed a seller's ability to leave feedback. The result
was an explosion of buyer extortion and theft. Every transaction has two counter-parties,
and both should be allowed to leave feedback. Even on BL, bad/neutral feedback
is far more damaging to the seller than the buyer.

I leave bad "Positive" feedback in all caps anyway. It at least makes
me feel better, but I know it'll get buried. The return policies on ebay
gets abused and we have no way to warn other sellers. If that happened here,
sellers would riot

Actually, I knew a guy was trying to scam me once with some GI JOE figures I
sent him on Ebay. I checked his feedback and he had a "positive" feedback
left within the last month from a seller that basically detailed the exact same
situation I was dealing with from the buyer. So I contacted the seller who left
the feedback. Since we both had the exact same stories, she called Ebay and they
gave her money back to her. Since my problems were still in the reporting stage,
I called Ebay and they sided with me as well. So leaving "positive" feedback
with great detail can still help out greatly.

I'm so so so fed up with Ebay for so many reasons. I've been transitioning
to other platforms

I'm so glad to hear that worked for someone.
Yeah, I sell vintage toys in general, and of course, flaws exist. Buyers don't
read descriptions and since I don't accept returns, they lie and file "not
as described" claims. I've spent hours on the phone and chat with ebay,
they side with me, end the convo telling me I'll be reimbursed, dont'
do it, and then force a return anyway. Annoying.
