I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Best regards,

I am not sure a "Parts list" exists for just this build. You would have
to look at instructions for this build and make a parts list yourself.
Using the inventory for this set, the instructions, and a wanted list, you can
add the parts for each step to the wanted list by selecting them from the inventory
of the set. You can then download your wanted list, I believe, though I do not
know how as I have never done it before. Someone here could help with that aspect
though.
Good luck,

for an order until now.
My seller sent me an invoice, I paid for the order, the seller contacted me and
told me he forgot to add in the shipping and that he would send another invoice
for that. Knowing the seller could not invoice me for just shipping, I told the
seller to hold on to the order for 1 week and I would place another order so
that they could then invoice me for the shipping for both orders and send them
both together.
To me this seemed like a no-brainer. It gets me a bunch of parts I need and I
get to save on shipping and the seller gets the shipping costs paid.
1 week goes by and I place my second order, the seller sends me an invoice for
the second order, but I think something must have been wrong with it because
when I clicked into the invoice there was a message at the top of it that the
invoice had been updated and it had a "Go" link.
Okay this is new; I have never seen an invoice with a "Go" link before.
I click on the link, and it takes me to another invoice that looks identical
to the first invoice. I read through the invoice, as I always do, make sure it
all looks correct, and go back up to the top to click on the "Pay" button
only there isn't a "Pay" button. I look on my orders page, no "pay"
button next to the order. I look on the order itself, no "Pay" button.

Maybe this new invoice is updated with postage?
|
The first payment went through just fine as an onsite PayPal transaction. At
this point I would think that my order would automatically default to paid. As
I have never had a store on Bricklink, I do not know how the Bricklink system
works when an order is paid. The seller contacted me after this and explained
that he had forgotten to include the shipping costs and would send an invoice
for them. Knowing that a store cannot send an invoice for an order that has already
been paid for, I sent back a message to the seller with a solution. I would place
another order on the following Monday, and he could then invoice me for that
order and the shipping costs to ship both orders in the same package. He agreed
to this and that following Monday I placed my second order at his store. When
I checked out, the final checkout screen had Batch 1 and Batch 2 on it. Even
though my 1st order had been paid for, both orders were included. He sent me
an invoice that included shipping and a credit for the amount of money I paid
on the first order minus the state taxes. I cannot pay for the order. The seller
has contacted the Help Desk to find a solution.
I would like to think that all he has to do is refund the money I paid, mark
the order as ready or packed and then he could send a new invoice similar to
how a store would manage an order that paid with an offsite payment where taxes
could not be remitted to Bricklink?

about and am having a hard time getting it resolved.
For me it has happened when a buyer is local and selects local pick-up. I invoice
them, they pay, they pick up, but the system never registers the payment, their
order then sits permanently at packed with payment as none. Then the next order
they place gets added onto their last 'open order' as a new batch. I
send them an invoice and there is no pay button.
|
This may very well be what happened here.
| |
I've been patiently waiting for the help desk to look into the ticket that
I filed, but have it on my to-do list to send them a second request for help
at the end of the month. It isn't currently happening, but my local buyers
have been busy recently and haven't been placing as many orders.
|
I do hope a resolution can be found!
| |
The only solution we have been able to work out is for me to email my buyer my
direct PayPal link and take payment that way, then we can at least move forward
with getting their parts to them.
|
This really isn't a good solution because taxes are not being remitted to
Bricklink or whomever the taxes get remitted too. I understand it is the only
way for you with your local buyers currently. Bricklink does need to find a solution
for this.

Does it have to do with something the seller has not checked prior to sending

The 1st order I placed in their store was paid for through invoice and had the
"Pay" button, so I have no idea what has gone wrong this time.
|
TL;DR
There's no "Pay" or "Go" button in any invoice, except if
the seller put this link (button) himself in a specific invoice he sent you (which
can be completely manual or automatic).
|
Which the seller obviously did or the "GO" link would not have been there.
| |
In ULTRA short: simply check your order on BrickLink and see if there's THERE
a "Pay" button.
This is in your BrickLink account, My BL, Orders.
|
As I stated in my original post, there isn't any "PAY" button on
the invoice nor on the order details page NOR on the order itself!
| |
Use THIS button to pay for the order (if the amounts are expected), nothing
else.
|
I did mention, I have been buying on Bricklink for 20 years, well in 3 days it
will be 20 years, so I am NOT a rookie and I do know where to look to pay for
an order!

Pyramid, Village Market, ...). I have little time to sort through and rebuild
all the sets. I'm looking for input as to what is the best way to sell all
at once. My initial investment was over $50k.
1. Any thoughts on how to liquidate everything ASAP?
2. Would selling everything by the pound on eBay be an option? - Not very attractive
I'm sure.
Thoughts are appreciated.
|
You could sell the collection intact on eBay. List the sets you know are there.
Make note of those sets that have an instruction manual or box.
You could set it up as a "buy it now" and that way you get the amount
you want, or do it auction style and add a reserve price which is your lowest
amount you would accept.
Make sure you take pictures of all minifigures, animals, "glass", marked
& printed parts. Specialty parts like motorcycles, baseplates, plants, instructions,
& boxes will help sell it. You can upload 24 pictures.
Keep in mind you will not get full value (what you paid) but depending on theme
and condition and the rarity of the sets, you could make quite a lot.
Do some research to see what other people are listing collections for and what
they have sold for as well.
Good luck!

| | Hello everyone,
As a platform, we have decided to take a hard look at some of the mold variants
that we are currently asking you to recognize. For sellers, more variants means
extra sorting and extra work while pulling orders, plus the issues that arise
from variant misunderstandings.
For buyers, excess variants mean that it's harder to assemble a wanted list,
find stores, and ultimately obtain the parts you are looking for.
I have put together a quick Help page to outline these proposed changes:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2625
|
I have read through the entirety of this subject, here are my opinions...
Do not change anything that has to do with minifigures! People who buy them OR
parts of them OR sets put a lot of importance on the minifigures being authentically
correct. I appreciate that solid stud heads will continue to have their own entry
in the catalog however it is annoying to order blocked open heads and receive
hollow stud heads instead and I can only imagine the nightmare of what this will
do to minifigure torsos.
Story time:
20 years ago, this coming April, I did a search of the internet looking for a
resource to buy LEGO by the single piece and Bricklink came up in my search.
It sounded the most promising for the business I wanted to start and so I clicked
that link to check it out. Imagine, if you will, how delighted I was to find
a site that had thousands of LEGO set inventories that I could access, and thousands
of shops to shop at with single parts, instructions, sets (both new and used),
and a chat room full of people that could answer my questions or keep me company
while working LEGO in my office! Of course, I cannot forget to mention the most
amazing catalog.
Bricklink is the reason my business is viable today. I rely on the catalog variations
to find the correct parts for the sets I need to finish.
I consider myself old school when it comes to Bricklink and have had to contact
shops to find out if they have the correct variations. Recently, 2020-2024, it
has become very frustrating when shop owners will not answer the question OR
worse yet, insist they do have the correct period piece and when it arrives,
you discover it is in fact incorrect or you get blacklisted for having the audacity
to ask a question in the first place. It should not be the buyer's job to
teach the shop owner about variations and yet I find myself doing this quite
often.
So, it is not JUST collector's that this will be affecting, it is also those
of us that use Bricklink to do as I have done for 20 years, refurbishing LEGO
sets.
This site was designed for the LEGO collector to be able to find the part(s)
they needed to complete sets, projects, and MOCS and to be able to discuss anything
LEGO with other people who love LEGO.
I feel like that vision is being lost.

This set was redesigned during production. The notes are at the very bottom of
the inventory page. They are...
Redesigned during production.
There are at least two different versions of instructions for this set. The differences
for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items
section with Match ID 99.
Quick overview of redesign: In the cockpit module various parts are added to
strengthen the build. In the track assembly two black 3708 Technic, Axle 12 are
replaced by four black 6558 Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise,
enabling the tracks on each side to move independently from each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are numerical errors in the parts lists in the instructions for both versions
of this set. The early version of the instructions incorrectly lists only one
pair of minifigure legs, but two are included. It also lists 13 dark bluish gray
32291 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double, but only 12 were
included. The later version of the instructions incorrectly lists one black 6558
Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise, but 18 are included.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dark bluish gray 32523 Technic, Liftarm 1 x 3 Thick in the later version
of the set has also been found in dark gray. The black 6538b Technic, Axle Connector
2L (Ridged with x Hole x Orientation) have also been found in the set as 6538c
Technic, Axle Connector 2L (Smooth with x Hole + Orientation).

The .jpg extension actually covers different formats and subformats.
It can be quite complicated to find the guilty ‘option’ to explain the problem.
I don’t think it’s necessary to go further anyway because all the subformats
should be accepted (or, at least, there should be a useful/clear error message)
and knowing it’s the format and not the size or a handling error should be sufficient
for the devs.
But, at worse, they can ask for an example file.
