| That sounds like a good deal, but after looking at your store, I just can't
shop there. The number of duplicate lots you have is extremely high, and that
makes it quite a pain to shop a store.

Years ago when you would reply to a Bricklink email from a member, it would already
have the member's email address set up as the one for replies. I have no
idea why they changed it. It's like it's fun for them to break working
features and then just leave them broken.

I ask for your help because I am stuck in a grotesque situation.
A person who just signed up to bricklink was unable to read the description for
item 5306bc069
Black Electric, Wire with Brick 2 x 2 x 2/3 Pair, 69 Studs
He said that since it's depicted as "PAIR" I should have sent two.
He left me a negative feedback and expected me to send a second for free.

I don't understand the part about the "pair." The word pair is not

| You have several duplicate lots in your store. (A duplicate lot is when there's
a part that's listed in the same color and condition more than once. For
instance, you have 3 lots of blue used 1X2 bricks that should all be 1 lot.)
Duplicate lots are tedious and annoying for buyers to browse through. Combining
those lots would definitely make your store easier to shop, and it could also
make your store appear on more wanted lists.

Ah, I see. If the seller didn't add an extended description letting buyers
know that the sticker was used and then pulled off of a part and was unable
to be restuck, then that seller had a bad listing.
Sellers can list anything as used, but if it's unable to function how it's
intended to, then they have to describe that in the item's extended description.
Of course, used stickers are far more unlikely to be reused than parts,
gear, etc, so it's even more important for sellers to describe those accurately.

As long as the seller says that they've been removed from parts and lists
the stickers as used, then I think it's within the rules. However, I can't
imagine anyone wanting to by such stickers, unless they're really old or
rare ones.

I've been waiting for over 2 months now, but nothing happens.
The big problem with the new helpdesk is that you don't get any confirmation
of receipt by email. There is no ticket number. You can't upload any documents.
It seems as if everyone has gone underground. Is there still a Bricklink admin
who takes care of the requests?

I'm in the same situation. No ticket, no confirmation...
TLC is hyperconcerned about its public image, so since TLC now owns Bricklink
you'd think they would do something to change that.

However, there is still a way to add a phone number. If I go to My Personal

field for "Address 2 (Optional)." Some people need that second address

It's probably been years since I reserved a lot for someone, and it was probably
for someone in my LUG, so we would've communicated on our own without the
need for any notifications to be sent, hence my ignorance on the subject. Thanks

|
| I just had someone buy all of a particular part in my store. (It was 1000+ quantity.)
I still had hundreds that I had not put in my store yet. I thought that he
might want to buy more if I had them, so I asked, and he said yes.
I counted them out and added them to my store reserved for that member. I don't
add lots reserved for someone very often, but if memory serves me correctly,
reserving a lot for a member does 2 things:
1. It, of course, reserves the lot for just that one member so that no one else
can buy it. (I think it makes it so that other members can't even see the
lot when shopping my store. Is that right?)
2. It sends that member an email notification that the lot was added and reserved
for them.
After I added the reserved lot, on the My Bricklink page, the link that says
"1 Lot in my store inventory not yet notified" showed up. In theory
sending out a notification should only email the member who I reserved the lot
for, but also in theory he already received a notification when I added the lot
to my store.
Is the ability to send out a notification for a reserved lot sort of a function
that's effectively doubled in the system?

Selling. Typo sorry

The BL price guide can give you an idea of how to price the sets. 928 for example:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=928-1#T=P
You'll have to upgrade to a seller account first though. Since you already
have positive feedback, it won't take as long to upgrade as a brand new member.

Normally I would brush this off but... why is it that I shouldn't be sorting
LEGO exactly?
Because I came to the forum to ask for people's help on a piece that does
not have the LEGO stamp or the copyright symbol? I can show you many examples
of fake hair/headgear that only have a number and have a different looking head
stud area.
With the influx of fake parts it seems better to be overly cautious rather than
not.
Maybe you shouldn't be replying to help threads...

1001bricks is right—MANY LEGO parts don't have the LEGO logo. Imagine if
that 3625 was a white one, and you had thrown out. Those things are rare! The
forum is replete with people asking if a part is fake because there's no
LEGO logo, and the vast majority of the time it's a legit part. It baffles
me that someone with a feedback score as good as yours doesn't know how differentiate
clones from real LEGO more thoroughly.
I realize that I care about this more than other AFOLs, but to me when a LEGO
part is thrown away, it's a mini little tragedy. Like a tiny voice crying
out in terror and then suddenly silenced.
