A friend of us, US citizen living in France, who designs Sets with us is in US
as of right now.
He rented a camping car and is in the desert, just to see the eclipse!
Curiously, desert and camping car now makes me think to something else

That's us! We're in an RV, in a makeshift campground just south of Uvalde,
Texas. Had a beautiful evening last night. Dark clear skies and we managed to
see the comet (with binoculars). It was close to the horizon, and hard to pick
out, so we're hoping it will be clearer during the eclipse today as it will
be high above the horizon.
But. The forecast here is not good. We will probably just see clouds.  We're
keeping our fingers crossed. Luckily we have 10 days of driving throught desert
doing some hiking and mountain biking afterward, so we'll have some fun with
or without the eclipse.

What we learned during our adventurous years in the national park areas of Southern
Utah: set the target or goal out as motivation, but make (time and effort) the
journey itself, the real experience. So many of our backcountry treks
had amazing destinations set-out. But our memories (kids and I) when relived,
seem to always be of the journeys, the unplanned experiences.

Almost but not quite I’m like a 30 min drive (probably not exactly

Very cool! Sounds festive.

What is sad is that in the town of Lakeview, where an EF3 tornado recently hit,
the hotels are making all the tornado victims leave the hotels so they can rent
the rooms for exorbitant prices to the tourists coming in for totality viewing.

The hotel owners may want to reconsider if they've been accepting in any
form, FEMA funds A lot of strings are attached to Fed money.

Yeah, such a turnaround in total eclipses is historically unusual. The one prior
to your 2017 experience, was 38 years earlier in 1979. Making this one that much
more special, imho.
As to your acquired "x-ray vision": turn it inward to find out what's
gone wrong What I might do with that ability

Took me 40 years to see my first one. When I was younger I didn't think
about traveling for them and living in the midwest we'd always be clouded
in. So I drove down to Nashville'ish to sit directly on the centerline and
it was like getting punched in the soul.
We're lucky enough to have it skirt by just outside of Cincinnati this year
but I'll still drive a little further in to Indiana depending on the weather.
Still trying to figure out a kitschy sale promo as I'll leave the store
open but not be processing orders that day.

Received reply: he'll be in Uvalde, TX.

But for day to day work, Discord is very convenient.
Sometimes a couple phone calls; they don't live really close to us, I mean,
for our french standards (few hundred kms).

Very cool! Please and with your friend's permission, share with us their

I gave him the link of this thread, he's an active member here of course.
If he can't post, I'll pass the messsage.

on item listing pages you can now report the item for sale! when you click on
it, it brings you to the report item for sale page with the lot number already
filled out.
Now the question is. has this already been a feature for a long time and I never
noticed it or is it indeed a new feature?
|
Yes, indeed, I found it, and can use it! Amazing! Can you imagine the amount
of work I alone can fling at catalogue admins just going through the listings
in non-existent colors that have been vexing me for years? They won't know
what hit them! ARRR!

On bricklink, neutral feedback is almost the same as a negative one.
This store has received so far:
951 pos. feedbacks
7 neutral feedbacks
4 negative feedbacks
You left
279 pos. feedbacks
8 neutral feedbacks
2 negative feedbacks
If we calculate the ratio of positive feedbacks over total feedbacks, who should
be banned?!
Checking his feedbacks, it seems to me the problems of buyers were minor.
As for why you are upset, you left neutral feedback for several sellers because
you found that there were not enough number of baggies. This leaves a question:
why don't you ask a seller to use many baggies (and express your willingness
to pay for the cost) or even ask this before you place your order? This simple
step seem to resolve this in a simple manner.

Oh wow, I didn't even look at the OP's. Dollars to doughnuts they're

Yes dear Gambit57! Having written this threat, you opened yourself to being stoplisted
by potentially many sellers. Also, any seller who check your feedback history
(those high number of neutral and neg. feedbacks you left), might consider to
stoplist you. Forgetting about this, why do you need neutral fb to stores for
just this minor reason (that you could have requested beforehand)? Feedback should
help to distinguish professional sellers from bad ones. You leaving so many bad
feedbacks make good ones look bad, and disappoint them while they have done everything
correctly.
You can go to your "My activity" and check how many people have already
stoplisted you
I recommend you to:
- retract your neutral feedback via this link:
https://www.bricklink.com/feedbackDel.asp
and replace it with a positive one.
- contact the seller and explain you wrote on the forum and learnt you were wrong
so you removed your feedback and replaced it with a good one. I would say "my
apologies" and request them to remove their neg. feedback too. I think they
would do that.
- I would even recommend you to contact Bricklink's help desk and request
them to remove all the bad feedbacks you left for the number of baggies they
used.

if not, I would even pack 5000 into the same bag...

I cannot see LEGO banning someone selling on bricklink for using a small number
of bags with 100 parts in each, when this is how LEGO sells its products. Especially
now they are trying to cut down on plastic waste, banning someone that is trying
to be more environmentally conscious is very unlikely.

| 100 parts in 2 bags is a very normal practise. Most customers prefer fewer bags.
If you want lots of bags I’d recommend asking the seller as most prefer to use
as few bags as possible as depending where you live they arnt the cheapest

Rule #1 if this is a concern.

This is the risk when you leave neutral or negative feedback. Both negatively
impact the "praise" for the store. Your feedback was actually mostly
positive "fast and accurate" but then you mentioned the other part and
left a neutral. So they took a ding on their praise for what's realistically
a positive review. As a store that can be infuriating.
| | Why does Bricklink still allow him to have a store.
|
Because they're a good store. There are other stores with 100+ Neutrals
and 10+ Negatives. This also represents less than .25% of their overall feedback,
so by and large they are a good store.

There are no limits. It is up to potential buyers to look at feedback and decide
for themselves.
