Hi, if you use the search box at the top of the page, the drop down box on the
left that usually has All items shown as a default, if you click the down arrow
and second from the bottom it says store inventory, you can search your own inventory
using a part number.

Hope that helps

Unfortunately, that searches your Store inventory, when you’re a seller, not
the new, unfinished feature called “My Collection”

Really strange how so many people believe there is so much fake Lego out there
with Lego logo.

Seems that we have these questions or statements most weeks, sometimes more than
once a week.

Op : Other markings underneath will usually be part number / mould number and
position in mould / copyright / pat pending / pending Pat / both the previous
two obscured etc.

However, better to ask if unsure.

  Hello,
I have bought some lego parts, but i believe they might be fake.
The bricks do have 'lego' written on the top of the studs, but on the
back side of the brick there are no 4 or 5 digit part number. Anyone can tell,
if these are real lego (maybe older parts only had the logo)?

Real. If it has the lego lego it’s real. Some parts don’t have the part number
and some don’t have the logo and some have neither but if it has the logo it’s
real

No issues here when I enter the set number as shown below.

Thank you! I thought for sure I already tried it that way... but it works fine

  This store has serious problems that they need to address.

Might be related to this
“ PLEASE REMEMBER IF ORDERING USED ITEMS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE PERFECT AS
THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYED WITH IN THE PAST! YOU WILL FIND SOME SCRATCHES AND BITE
MARKS!!! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT PIECES PLEASE ORDER NEW!!!!!!”
Which directly goes against bricklink terms since they say they don’t even separate
out bite marks… yikes

Along with
“Order sent Royal Mail. I can not be held responsible for loss in post”
Which also isn’t true as they are 100% responsible

  For me, they are usually more accurate than Bricklink sellers

Interesting, from my experience when buying best seller I always expect +/- 10
qty whenever I order 100+ of something

  Meanwhile, I came here to point out that LEGO themselves sent me too many parts
on an order this week. It's better than an under count, but I'll still
let them know for their own inventory purposes.

Very true. The people who fill Lego.com Pick a Brick orders make mistakes, just
like the rest of us.

For me, they are usually more accurate than Bricklink sellers, but the same general
rules apply: If I limit an order to 20 or fewer different part types, or keep
all quantities 4 or less, the result is usually 100% accuracy. But orders with
more than 20 line items at quantities above 4 will usually result in at least
one error.

For example, I am building a collection from scratch, so I often order a part
in every color available (except for ugly highlighter yellow). Rarely do I ever
receive the exact ordered quantities. Usually the mistakes are tiny overages
in one or two colors, but about half as often they go under for one color.

One time I ordered 200 and 100 masonry bricks in different colors and they sent
me 200 of each. Another time they sent me 20 fairly expensive earth green 6x6
plates on an order without any plates. Once, they forget to include a line item
of 50 hotdog pieces. Out of 50 or so Pick a Brick orders, a line item has been
completely missing a total of 5 or 6 times.

Most importantly, Lego is very good about fixing mistakes if you contact them.

1. Why Sienna is between Tan & Light Nougat and not between Dark Nougat & Fabuland
Brown?
2. Why Satin Trans-Yellow is not located between Satin Trans-Brown & Satin Trans-Bright
Green?
It's not that important, just a little bit annoying.

This means that you have had 104 orders where something was wrong and you got
neutral or negative feedback.

So I'm not surprised, but of course I don't know the details. As a buyer
I would hesitate to buy from a shop that has less than 99% positive feedback.

  You gotta be kidding me!

This is the first time this has happened to me in a lot of orders on here.

I ordered what was supposed to be new Lego pieces.

I received used Lepin or other off-brand pieces. One stud on each piece is indented
where the Lego logo would go.

These people should not be allowed to operate on here. Go sell that junk on
fleabay.

I once ordered a few 100 used 2X4 bricks in any color for filler, and one piece
showed up as a mega-block. I tossed it in my off brand pile and pulled an authentic
lego piece from my bulk. I didn't bother the seller as it had the appearance
of an honest mistake on a low value piece.

Sounds like what you're describing is the whole order is off brand and not
NEW as advertised. This is a very different scenario, and the previous advice
given by other users is your best bet.

  Hello Bricklink, I'm moving across country in a few months and I won't
be taking my store with me so I need to get working on offloading my inventory.
Would prefer to sell the whole lot rather than have a fire sale; would really
like to hear from any others who have had to do the same.

Sold my shop a month or two ago.* My shop was around the same size of your inventory.

I sold it for 24% of my inventory value and it was a great deal.

Don't be tempted by a general sale of 50% or something like that. This
way you only sell the valuable things and are left with the unsellable items.
Good luck!

*By the way, I have continued my store but with a very small number of items
that I can easily handle and without taking up much space.

Yes, thank you. This is the most effective thing to make sure it doesn't
happen to others.

  I am a buyer and
I made an order on March 7th
the price of total item total was around 120 euros
this seller didnt answer me for a week

then charged me 90 euros for the shipping

What was it you ordered, parts, sets, or a combination ?

If it was sets only, and in original boxes, the shipping might well have been
high. Cost of order does not have a direct relationship to cost of shipping,
especially when it involves international shipping.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=65

Did you follow this and request the cancellation, or did you just message the
seller asking them to cancel it?

If you have the NPB completed against you, then you can try asking for it to
be removed as you thought the postage was too much. The NPB won't matter
unless you make a habit of placing orders and not paying for them. However, you
might get negative feedback for not paying for this order and would not be able
to leave feedback for the seller.

In the future, ask about shipping costs before placing the order if they are
not calculated by instant checkout or detailed in the seller terms. Shipping
large or heavy boxes internationally with tracking can be expensive.

The entire order was Lepin? Could you leave negative feedback so we can all
