Yea, that’s kind of messed up. Their post was July 29 and the. The negatives
started pouring in a few weeks later. Active since 2017 and just a smattering
of sales. Probably decided to give up and take whatever money they could.

What purpose does such reckless public speculation serve, I wonder

We all have these thoughts, but until there's conclusive knowledge
in the matter, avoiding publicly speculating is good rule of thumb. It's
defamatory and rumor mongering, at least.

By the looks of the fb it seems you to will have a hard case to get anything
back..

How can he not have 3 nss against him i do wonder though?

Goodluck on it

They have 3 NSS, they were suspended on Dec 19, 2023.

It is interesting that they claimed they were being scammed just before they
started to do the same bank transfer only scam to others ...

They cancelled their post but quoted copies of it it remain in the thread.

You can scam quite a bit with good prices and make excuses for not being able
to ship and more orders come in before someone finally starts an NSS. Then it
takes 3 to trigger a problem with BL. In the meantime, they keep selling more.
This might blowup even more.

"Many sellers" - you're going to keep banging that drum right?

It keeps happening with almost every order I place without fail. So I havnt had
any proof to the contrary

But then again maybe im just unlucky 🤷‍♂️. I’d say 9/10 orders I place arrive
with undisclosed cracks, bite marks, bad yellowing, and/ or heavy wear

9/10? 90% of your order purchases have problems? Yeah sure.

If that's your real ratio, either your standards are un-reasonable or you
don't know how to pick good sellers.

I dont know what to say but yes that's accurate. I wouldn't say my standard
are unreasonable, I only count what I mentioned above "cracks, bite marks,
bad yellowing, and/or heavy wear" in that list. the orders are typically
between $15-$100 made up of minifigure parts with a qty between 10-100 in most
cases. it is an extremely rare thing for me to place an order of used minifigure
parts and none arrive cracked, with bitemarks, yellowed, or badly damaged.

(and just in case its a misunderstanding I'm not saying the entire order
is damaged bur rather 1 or more parts in the order was damaged)

For example this
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1433671
Is an order I placed, it’s not special or rare for me to get items damaged
like that, just about every order I place has items badly damaged that are never
noted (tho there are some amazing sellers as well!)

Looking at the pictures you posted on that order and seeing how bad they really
were, just out of curiosity, why didn't you leave an appropriate feedback
for the seller of at least a neutral?

Jim

I think it’s my Canadian nature, I don’t like leaving negative feedback. Even
if it’s horrible quality

If you're going to complain about the quality of "many sellers" every
time this topic comes up then back it up by leaving appropriate feeddback, even
if you get retaliatory neg/neutrals in return.

Yeah, but that just wouldn't have been as much fun.

For me it’s 4/12 orders have had something wrong with part/minifigure quality.
3/12 needed refunds
