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.

  I am moving and I am looking for a buyer for my vintage lego set. Several sets
factory sealed. All sets are complete. Most sets were put together, and not
played with.

It's hard to buy your sets when your store is closed.

  When someone
messages a seller who doesn’t have an order we get an email from BL with the
message. The message reply email isn’t even to the person asking the question.
You have to remove the BL email and put in their email or it will just go
to a dead box.

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.

RandyF changed it just moments before you posted.

Then why doesn't that show up in the change log for the part?

Doesn't every buyer have the seller's address anyway, once an order is
placed?

  Hello,

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
in the item's name.

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.

  So this came up after i ordered a sticker sheet from a seller, not realizing
it was incomplete and receiving just one sticker that was obviously pulled off
a piece, shipped on a felt backer, and was dirty on the sticky side (which was
no longer sticky). I’m just having a hard time understanding if this is an intended
use case for stickers on BL (regardless of the condition i received my sticker
in).

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.

  Ran across a seller that sells stickers they have removed from parts and lists
as used, incomplete sticker sheets. Is that allowed?

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.

As far as their sale prices, I doubt there was a price. Promotional items like
that are usually given away as prizes or gifts.

  Is there anyone here who has received a response via the helpdesk since the beginning
of December 2023?

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.

Silver Metallic (TLC color #315) = Flat Silver (BL color #95)

The only parts in your store are 8 sticker sheets. 6 are at full price, and
2 are 10% off.

You can add a complete torso assembly without adding the armless/disassembled
torso.

Members who created accounts here on BL many years ago never had a place to put
our phone numbers. I don't remember the date, but at some point BL decided
to add a data field for members' phone numbers. However, they messed it
up and only let new members have that data field.

However, there is still a way to add a phone number. If I go to My Personal
Information page ( https://www.bricklink.com/pref_address.asp ) there is a data
field for "Address 2 (Optional)." Some people need that second address
line, but I do not, so I put my phone number there.

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
for the info!

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?

So are you seeking the sets or selling the sets?

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.

If you would put that part in the fake bin, then you shouldn't be sorting
LEGO.

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.

pre-sale re-sale!

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I agree with edk and disagree with jennnifer. That inverted slope definitely
IS LEGO, and as edk said, it's an older one. It's normal for that particular
inverted slope to have those hollow studs with the thicker walls if it's
from 40+ years ago.

There is absolutely ZERO change that masks used versus new parts here.

Are the links a problem though? How many people see an obvious spam message with
loads of links in and think it would be a good idea to follow them?

To me, the issue is that the spam exists, not that there are clickable links
in the spam. Stopping any clickable links doesn't solve the spam issue.

Luckily, enough people report them and forum moderators act quickly once they
are reported reported and then the spam disappears if you have the hide cancelled
posts setting selected.

My thought was that if a new user tries to post a message with a URL, BL would
give the user an error (URLs/links not allowed in messages from new members,
or something like that,) and the message would not go through at all. If a spammer
found that he could not post a message with a link, he would give up very soon
(hopefully,) and leave.

You're entirely right about BL members not being dumb enough to click on
obviously bogus links (which makes me wonder why the spammers go to the trouble
of posting them anyway.) I also agree with you that the moderators do a good
job of cancelling the spam posts.

Those are all legitimate parts. I just don't get the hyper paranoia buyers
have nowadays about counterfeit parts. The forum is replete with posts about
parts that people think might be fake because they don't match 100% with
the parts they have from the past few years. As time goes on LEGO makes new
molds and makes tiny changes on most iterations of parts. I suppose the Chinese
clones are to blame. Sigh...

  Got a order from a customer, all seems good. But after a month no response to
messages, no feedback(which is important for a store that is just starting) and

They have no feedback so they are new to the site, and I want them to have a
good experience but I don’t know what to do.

Should I leave negative feedback? I also have other user who ordered and didn’t
mark as received, but he had all good feedback. But I checked the stores that
he ordered from and he didn’t leave them any feedback ether.

What can I do?

Wait—are you asking if you should leave negative feedback for a buyer who paid
for his order just because he didn't leave feedback for you and didn't
mark the order as received/complete? If that's the case, then NO
you should NOT leave negative feedback.

Leaving feedback is nice, but it's optional, as is marking orders as received
or complete. One of the things you should understand as a seller is that not
all buyers leave feedback. (That's not just here on Bricklink; it's
the same on other sites that use feedback.) Since you've already messaged
the buyer about it, I would just leave it at that.

to happen.

If you part out a set, it will warn you but not try to combine the lots. You
have to do that manually. Not consolidating lots is often done by sellers with
smaller storage areas, where they bag up the parts from X copies of that set,
then use the set box as the storage location. That is, they don't have a
huge storage system, one part per location. It cuts down massively on storage
volume, as you might have 100 lots in the set box. It takes longer to pick as
each part doesn't have its own location, but much more efficient for storage
of smaller lots. Of course, they could locate the other similar lot in another
set and combine them but that is more work. It can also happen if you find there
is say 10x a part and pre-bag it to sell as a fixed quantity of 10. Then you
get that part again at a later date but this time 15x, and you pre-bag it as
15 qty.

What a ridiculous excuse. Those sellers with a bunch of lots for each parts
go straight to my least favorite list, and they completely deserve it.

Is there an easy way to do that?

Yes! Or at least there's an easy way to find all of the duplicate
lots in your store. Bricklink has a search function in the My Store Inventory
page (https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp) on the right side. Check the
"Non-Unique" box and then the Go! button. It will show you all of the
duplicate lots in your store.

The mystery to me is how sellers let that happen in the first place. When you

You have so many lots of the exact same same items that it makes browsing your
store a pain. Please combine lots.

Opening a store is the only way you're allowed to sell here. There's
nothing wrong with opening a store and only selling one set though. After that,
if you want to leave your store empty, you can.

That is normal. An invoice to a buyer in the USA almost always has sales tax
added. There are only a couple states that do not have that tax.

In such a small set that has a good photo in the catalog, you can clearly see
that there's only 1 DBG 4733. Are you saying that there is an extra one?

If you don't live in the USA, then you need to change your address to a truthful

the 1970's or 80's.

It's

with the top broken off. When that part breaks, it does so quite cleanly.

No, you should not register your store as LEGO Land California.

That sucks that your first purchase on Bricklink turned out so poorly. Maybe
the seller is in the hospital, or maybe he went on a Christmas vacation for December
and forgot to close his store. Whatever the reason, you were totally justified
to start an NSS after 2 weeks of nothing from the seller.

At this point it is possible but unlikely that the seller is ever going to fulfill
your order, so I think that buying the MFs from a different store is your best
option.

My guess is drivers for the motherboard. If that does not count as an application,

I can't say for sure, but I imagine the buyer probably paid with an e-check.
When someone pays with PayPal, and the funds in their PayPal account don't
cover the amount, he can transfer funds from a linked bank account. That transfer
is not instantaneous. It usually takes about 3 business days.
