I had a customer reach out asking if I could reduce my shipping before purchasing
a set. I only do instant check out and not invoices. I explained in the email
that the shipping cost is what I believe is a fair price and I don't reduce
shipping. I told him thank you for his interested.
He never wrote back but a day later they purchased the item he had emailed about
and in the comments "Hi. Can you please reduce shipping cost a few dollars
to reflect ups advantage which is cheaper? Thanks!" after I already told
him no and after he had paid.
I don't want to be petty but I'm annoyed that I told them no and ignored
it.
What would you do?
Thanks!

I'm confused. Are they asking for a discount or are they asking for a cheaper
shipping method? The impression I get from your post is you want to send it priority
instead of ground advantage, and they are asking for ground.
In that case I'd do what the buyer asks.

Thanks for the replay, they are wanting the shipping cheaper after I told them
I wouldn't reduce the price and after the already paid and purchased the
items.
|
Yeah, I grasp that. You didn't really answer me though. Are you insisting
on sending it priority when it can be sent ground?
I get that you are annoyed, but if I was the buyer in a case like that, I'd
be annoyed as well.
If so, that's a strange hill to die on. IMO.

| | Hello,
I have had a lego set (Lord of the Rings Tower of Orthanc 10237-1) on sale for
a couple months now, but its just not selling....
I am thinking of cutting the pirce down to around 300 euro (now it is 350 euro),
but Im not sure if it's too low for the value of the set...
The set isn't complete and is missing quite a lot of items (no tree beard,
no minifigs and accessories, no eagle ,no Original box, no instructions, no Palantir,
no "3068bpb0661", no "33009pb045" ).
I am asking for help to find a good price for this set so that it will sell.
or any other tips to make this set more appealing.
Thanks for any tips or support!

PS. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post.
(I have deleted the item a couple weeks back and now it is back up on my store,
so dont mind the list date)
|
Theres a sold for $200 on ebay for the tower and 1 fig and an eagle. So I think
everyones estimate of about $150 is probably close.

Of course it isn't common, but it happens; I don't think it's right,

read the store terms to know how the store(s) operate; it's also not right
that the messages have gone unanswered, but also happens for a variety of reasons

It isn't, not when it's only been 7 days; this isn't Amazon, a lot

the next day (even Amazon sometimes takes 5 days to ship)

So you made an account, placed orders, ignored terms and conditions that you
agree to (it shows store terms while you go through the checkout process) but
somehow knew enough to immediately file an NSS?
That doesn't seem fair at all; have you also checked your spam folder in
your email to see if they replied directly?
I'm not saying Bricklink is perfect when it comes to sellers, there are some
that just don't care, but they are few and far between; I just think that
jumping the gun to an NSS without even reading the store terms is pretty drastic
|
I don't claim to be the perfect buyer and I certainly make mistakes.
If this situation is normal (no contact after repeated attempts for this seller)
then they should have somewhere in the check out process in flashing red letters
in 100 pt font that this may take more than 1 week after packed status, to actually
ship. Fine I'd accept that and not place my order.
If the seller doesn't like what I've done then ship my order already.
Because I'm going to paypal/my credit card company in a couple days to get
my money back.
The part they have for sale is hard to obtain in any condition in any country
at any price. If they don't want to ship, I need to jump on the only other
seller that still has them. I just don't wanna double order something.
While I appreciate the advice to check my spam/junk folder, this site does have
a functioning messaging system which I've used and it works just fine. Perhaps
all sellers aren't aware of this? I did send my messages to the seller through
this site. So I shouldn't be missing any messages.

your expectations are completely reasonable. People saying that they aren't

have you checked out vintage gi joe figures...
pricing on those went insane too

Omg YES
My fav story is I was throwing away these little toys I got in an old lot of
LEGO, that were not LEGO
Then I found a MOTU (He Man) staff I recognized as being worth some $ so I decided
to check the other misc toys and low and behold the little guns I had been chucking
were G.I. Joe and I ended up dumping out my garbage to retrieve them and I got
something like $10-25 a piece (there were very old) I have no doubt the 90's
G.I. Joe stuff is also getting stupid, I bid on a few lots recently and could
never win them.
I flip vintage toys in general, so I'm always watching the market on various
stuff. I don't get to flip many "male" toys because they are nearly
impossible to get in bulk, too much competition. I do occasionally find some
MOTU and Transformers by just having an eye that recognizes it in unrelated lots.
I sell alot of FP and MLP and you can watch the popularity spike right around
20 years for self collecting, and 25 years for "I want my kids to play with
this too". Bionicle is in the self collection stage. lol

| Not knowing which set it is exactly, but just generally speaking 1960's and
70's basic type sets are honestly not terribly valuable. There are some collectors,
as there is for eveything that exists, but not a lot of them in contrast to how
many sets still exist. Boxes and paperwork can be a little more valuable, but
again, there isn't a huge demand for sets of that era. You should post pics
