Why did you receive a neutral feedback?
You are a newbie as a seller and you need to be obsessed with maintaining a perfect
score. This is very important considering you just started selling and your record
is not yet huge, i.e. not many feedbacks.
All my first 1000 feedbacks were positive but I have initially received about
20 neutral or negative feedback. In all those cases, I contact buyers and resolved
the issue.
Did you try to contact this buyer? Do you know why he left you a neutral fb?
If they buyer did not answer you, you could still reply to his feedback something
like: "reached out to resolve if there was any issue but the buyer didn't
reply"

Did they travel through the Bermuda triangle? Where did it go? I cannot express
the amount of appreciation I have for an understanding customer who paid so much
for this order, and then patiently waited almost two months for a tracking update
from USPS. TWO MONTHS! It's almost like the postal service is purposefully
trying to kill off international business opportunities. First with huge price
jumps, then with a decreased level of service that borders on apathy.
The postal service told me that after it leaves the US there's not a lot
they can do, 'it's out of our hands'. Why offer tracking at all when
it's of little use? And when I asked them about filing a case for a missing
package, they tell me that it has to be missing at least 60 days before I can
file as a missing package. Insane, absolutely insane. Going to send a Christmas
box of dog poop to Mr DeJoy... through Fedex.

I think it is sent on surface, i.e. in a ship. This is what couriers do when
they cannot send on air.

I have never done the same thing this seller did. In my opinion, this is not

I would wait. Soon, you will need more parts.

What is the catalog inside your box? I wonder if it is from 1984 (most likely)
or 1985 (possible but less likely).

1983 Mini Overseas (119385 IB/OS)

Very useful. So
was still used in 1983.
I don't know Zorbanj's sets were from 1984 or 1985 but 4 years later
he parted out his sets, he still have one catalog from 1984 in new condition
and 5 red hinges
and his copies came with

In theory, his sets could be from 1984 or (early) 1985 but most likely from 1984.

| Souce: sealed set (European version). It was 66gr (not 55gr that was a typo).
I note that the weight of Canadian box is about 10-11gr more. Checked this with
two copies of European box and two copies of Canadian box. Though, the size of
boxes are exactly the same and they look identical, besides the extra prints
on the Canadian box.
So
The weight of empty Canadian box: 28gr
The weight of empty European box: 18gr
The weight of Canadian complete set with box and instruction (and considering
1gr extra for a mini catalog): 76gr
The weight of European sealed set: 66gr
Please add these as additional note.
If time permits, I add photos of both boxes.

hmmm, who wrote that note?!

Good question! Do you think that this is evidence enough to challenge the note?
The original owner bought it new at the store for their kid.
|
Real evidence would be if it shows up in Canadian catalogs or if the box shows
it was produced in Canada.
|
A total sum of zero evidence is given for this claim which is of course simply
False.
Samsonite imported some sets without creating or changing parts. Example:
There is no print "Samsonite" on the box of multiple copies I bought
or saw.
Multiple copies of 103-1 I got or saw do not have any "Samsonite" on
the box and have seen only one image of a copy with "samsonite" printed
on it.
There are also some sets sold in Canada that were not advertised on the Canadian
catalogs.
Promotional sets like 610, 611, 105, 107 are some of them, but I have not seen
646-1 that I own with Canadian box and I am pretty sure (can find other such
sets) there are other sets from 70s and 80s sold in Canada while there were not
advertised in Canada.
So there is nothing to believe a set was sold only if it was printed in a Canadian
catalog or came with a Canadian box.
So these types of evidence or statements, so-called "real evidence" would
result to false result and therefore are not reliable.
Again, these two sets were sold in Canada, have been seen regularly on Canadian
marketplaces, and I bought a huge old lot, consisting or rare items such as 182
with Samsonite stamp on the box, and other sets without box such as an ultra
rare
and it included 263 and 264. Have seen (on Canadian marketplaces )these two boxes
multiple times without "Samsonite" print on their boxes. Only one time
I have seen the box 264 with Canadian Samsonite print on it.
And no, I have barely seen on Canadian marketplaces any set from 70s and 80s
that was not sold in Canada.
| Also, in that period Homemaker Sets / Building Sets
with People were sold with a different number in North America, like
versus
Although BrickLink shows a mix of set numbers sold in Europe & Canada versus
USA and Europe versus Canada & USA.
North America also had it's own unique sets later on, like
So I don't see it as evidence enough to say that this set was also released
in Canada, unless I am missing Canadian info on your box images. Or maybe someone
could check all their Canadian catalogs of 1974 and up. I will ask Russell if
he has a Canadian catalog showing this set.
