  Since you all are discussing one private trade, should you both be discussing
this in pms?

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?

Btw, we were discussing this 2 hours ago on here and one of us is new to the
site.....

Relax and the symptons will subside.

Maxx

I apologize. You are right. Every transaction has a right to be discussed in
the forums and not via private messages, errr, I mean your PMS. We are all in
your circus and are your Monkeys

Note that private trades, as in: trades outside the Bricklink order system, are
not allowed, and are therefore not allowed to be discussed at all - whether in
the forum or in private messages. That would be fee avoidance. That's why
Maxx is asking for it to go via Bricklink order.

On the other hand, this isn't a transaction that involves money, and I'm
not entirely sure what the policy is on that.

There is actually a trade section of the forum, so they are allowed to be discussed
in the forum.

The policy is straightforward: any trades must go through a (or at least one)
store as normal, as if money is trading hands. Just that instead of money, the
trade is sent in its place.

  Part (973pb0805c01) to "Torso Space Silver Armor Breastplate with Vents and Lime
Dots and Black Octagon with Lime Letter 'B' (Blacktron II Logo) and Silver
and Dark Bluish Gray Belt Pattern / Black Arm and Hand Left / PDG Mech Arm and
Black Claw Right"
 
Part No: 973pb0805c01  Name: Torso Space Silver Breastplate with Belt and Blacktron II Logo Pattern / Black Arm and Hand Left / Pearl Dark Gray Mech Arm and Black Claw Right
* 
973pb0805c01 (Inv) Torso Space Silver Breastplate with Belt and Blacktron II Logo Pattern / Black Arm and Hand Left / Pearl Dark Gray Mech Arm and Black Claw Right
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

Is there any point in the abbreviation PDG? I just checked, only three parts
use that, so as a search term isn't it useless? And if people need to know
what the assembly includes, the "item consists of" tells them that.

  I just opened a shipping method that I keep closed to avoid confusion because
it allows an international customer to instant checkout using domestic shipping
rates. It is for international customers who have a friend or forwarding service
in the US, but I keep it closed to avoid accidental or intentional misuse. It
would be handy if I could limit that to a country or to a specific user.

Is it not easier to invoice manually for such situations.

Possibly. I used to get a lot of international orders made and then cancelled
because the shipping is over $20 over 8 ounces. Usually customers are willing
to pay the $13ish shipping for 1-8 oz, but rarely did an order over 9 ounces
go through. I so stopped offering wait for invoice for international orders
and capped the instant checkout at 7 ounces. Perhaps that is too strict and
I should think it over.

Yeah, I'm sure. I've stopped buying from the USA for that reason.

Maybe put a line in your terms about what it will cost for international orders
for a couple of weight bands and turn on quotes (if you haven't already)
to allow international buyers to ask for postage costs if they need to.

I notice that there are now a number of things like this in the catalogue under
GEAR:

[g=ST1]

[g=superman]

What are these meant to be?

Looking at Castle Byers, some people are usnig the listing to sell the set, some
the stickers, some sets with custom stickers, another the set with custom prints,
etc. No-one is actually selling just the instructions!

Is the intention that these should really just be the instructions given that
they come under a category called "Building Event Instructions"?

If so, why are they not listed like normal instructions? Is it because BL does
not recognise these as sets, and properly listed instructions must have sets
to go in?

I remember trying to add the Superman set long ago, and it was denied. But now
it seems the instructions do exist in BL's view, but the sets do not exist.

The strange thing is, when I got my Superman, they were using laser copy / printed
instruction sheets and you could get the PDF if you wanted it, but they did not
have "genuine" instruction sheets.
