There are a handful of times I questioned the price at which someone purchased
something from me. They seemed lower than what I would have wanted. You can't
get that data after the fact, but what you can do for future instances, is mark
everything in your inventory to "retain items after being sold out" (or
whatever it's called). It's in your inventory page at the bottom. This
will preserve that item with a zero quantity in your stock room at the original
price.

Turns out my issue was inadvertently having items on sale (like I put all black
and orange items on 50% sale when the Bengals went to the Super Bowl, but I didn't
realize that included my Darth Vaders. So I sold out of nearly all of them in
a day.) or when I would upload a new parted out set using the NEW price, not
realizing that the newly updated prices were 15% lower than a year prior.

It's way more likely you fat fingered a typo on the price than a glitch.

There is nowhere to confirm, other than the order. I'm not saying a glitch
is impossible, but there is no normal, intended way for a customer to buy something
at a lower price than you listed. The most likely scenario is that you entered
a different number than you intended.

  Hello,

I would need some helo please.

Is there by chance a possibility to change more remarks in the store inventory
at once?

For example, the remark "box 1" (50 lots) needs to become "box 100".
So I am not willing to change one by one these 50 remarks. This will take me
ages to do so for the whole inventory (nearly 19k lots)...

Can I change the 50x remark "box 1" to "box 100" at once?

Thank you in advance

First thing: buy from another seller to get positive feedback (all feedback is
transactional on BrickLink). Once you have a positive feedback you can convert
your account to a seller account.

Then you'll be asked to submit documents for verification.

892285-1 (Inv) Benthomaar foil pack
6 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2022

Thanks very much.

As others have said, magazine promotions. They switched over to paper bags in
2022.
Germans and Poles seem to have the most.

I suspect there are a few sellers who have the hookup to where they buy up all
the unsold magazines (or raid a dumpster/pay a worker where they are being thrown
away) for the minifigs.

They could be buying retail, but I find it hard to believe they are picking up
1000 of the same set by visiting stores and paying retail price.

In the US, LEGO has produced promotional figures that come with DVD/Blu-ray (LEGO
movie, superheroes), and I have recently seen small children's books that
include a minifigure at Dollar General.

Magazines; and they're not cheap (at least not in Canada).

Yep - they appear to be primarily available in Europe for some unknown (I presume
licensing) reason.

Nowadays the foil packs are actually paper though. The mags themselves can be
picked up in most newsagents and supermarkets in the UK for around £5. Themes
include Batman, Star Wars Jurassic World, Ninjago, City etc.

Thanks for the help. That clears it all up!

  Hi,

If you have an XML and there are items in that xml that not found can you upload
regardless and ignore the incorrect parts?

For some reason a Moc I purchased must have either an old colour or part number
and it blocks the import, I can edit the xml but curios if there is a simple
tick box option?

Hi,

The problem would be a old part number (due to a renaming or a merge)… and there’s
no way to correct that on the website

I think BrickStore could be able to automatically correct your XML file… or at
least it’ll have a simple and easy to use interface to find the correct part.

Open an NSS (Non-Shipping Seller) and, if you paid via PayPal, start a PayPal
case.

I think it's unlikely that you actually got scammed, but the seller is still
responsible for the package getting to the buyer.

We have plenty of magazines with that in France, I believe in complete Europe.
Lots of little City, Star Wars, Ninjago, Legends of Chima, Friends, Elves, Technic...
polybags
It's almost always cheaper to buy the complete magazine instead of just buying
the minifigure here

Two classic solutions - rubbing alcohol and/or hairspray! Seriously. These get
off even most permanent marker stains from pretty much everything (except clothing).

Try eucalyptus oil - it works for the lego paint so should work for other markers.

PS I hope that you can find some eucalyptus oil - its plentiful down under

You could try wd40. I haven’t tested it on Lego elements.

Try some dawn dish soap. Sometimes it doesn't work and I use the edge of
a razor blade to gently debride a thin shaving of the stain. I only do this on
my personal ones, of course, not ones for resale.

Best wishes, have an epic day!
