|
| I have a bunch of sets that I plan to sell. A few of them (I think) got water
damage to the box. The sets are still sealed. One end of the box is kind of crushed,
and my guess is that it got a bit wet and then the weight of the rest of the
box made it get crushed. So I am leaning towards opening the box to confirm the
instructions aren't messed up, so that I can disclose that when I sell it.
But then again, I hate to break the seal of the box. What would you do? (They
are big sets - Disney castle, Big Ben, and Ghostbusters firehouse.)

|
| HI there I'm thinking selling on this website. I wanted to ask a few questions
about it however.
#1 I have "Complete" sets, but there're original bricks are scattered
in my LEGO box. is it right/uncouth to sell something as "complete" if
I put the sets back together again from my vast lego box?
#2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in
a box of other minis, and never been played with and still shinny and unscratched?
any help is appreciated! I would just like to know the "Dos and don'ts"
of selling LEGO's
Cheers Cy Kill's Garage!

|
| Hi All
Can anyone help me cancel a paid order that I can not supply , it is a fake
minifig
that I checked and double checked and came to the conclusion that it is not Leggo.
So I have refunded that total sale and contacted the customer . Now it does not
let me proceed to the next step ..I could just mark it complete, but that's
not correct.
Can anyone help..

|
| Hi BriantheMayan here,
I just bought the Lightyear Zurg 76831 set and am planning to sell the Buzz and
Izzy figs that come with it. I was wondering whether or not it would be best
to sell without the alternative heads and hair that come with them. I see some
do and others don’t. I was curious if buyers have an expectation that they will
come with them and it might lead to a problem or perhaps I should list those
parts separately.
Any advice would be great.

| I received this email from BrickLink:
[Action required] Deadline has been extended to August 4, 2024
"Hello Give.Me.A.Brick,
Your deadline to enable distance selling has been extended to August 4, 2024*.
We want to remind you that you have reached the EUR 10,000 distance selling threshold
on BrickLink for the 2024 calendar year and may need to enable distance selling.
The new EU Marketplace rules went into effect on July 1, 2021 indicating that
any seller with more than EUR 10,000 worth of distance sale of goods must register
with their local tax authorities and charge the VAT rate of the buyer's country.
You will need to register for either One Stop Shop (OSS) or in each individual
EU Member State where you sell on BrickLink. Once you obtain your OSS ID number
or the VAT IDs for the countries you transact in, you can then enable distance
selling on BrickLink.
To enable distance selling, go to the Value Added Tax (VAT) section on the Store
Settings Management page.
Go to Store Settings Management page
If no action is taken, your selling abilities on BrickLink within the EU Member
States (other than your home nation) will be blocked until the end of the next
calendar year. During this time you can still register and enable distance selling.
To learn more about distance selling, please see the European Commission article
on this topic.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team
*11:59pm ET"
I already have registered for OSS and Distance Selling enabled since late 2022
so I'm confused if there's anything further I need to do?

|
| So I sold a set from my personal collection. Been sitting on a shelf for years
and I disassembled and inventoried it before listing.
I hear from the buyer a week after shipping about how the set is horribly damaged
and parts not even fitting together. They are terribly disappointed and want
their money back. I know that not to be the case, but I send a label for return
shipping and will refund once received. It's just a Creator set, so no minifigs
or rare parts to worry about being swapped.
I get the set back, and it's obvious it was never even opened. All parts
in the separate bags I used. I'm pretty sure the box was still sealed with
my packing tape.
I refunded the purchase anyway. Sucks I'm out $25 for the shipping both ways,
but you have this occasionally. Is rather they had just been honest about having
buyer's remorse.

| Hey All,
I am giving some serious consideration to selling all my stock and storage and
closing down my store just because I am having trouble finding the time to keep
up with it.
This is the current stock level...
Total 68,114 items in 4,566 lots in 171 categories.
My store inventory total value (Original Price): GBP 8,691.49
My store inventory total value after sale (Category Average): GBP 8,691.49
Most of it is parted out and there is a few complete sets
I also have...
26 x 60 drawer storage units each drawer has 2 parts these cost £34 each total
£884
86 Clip lock style containers of 4 different sizes costing around £300 for all
150 Takeaway size containers costing about £30 for the lot.
Most of the Lego in the store is new and I also have available loads of used
Lego that is my own collection.
Everything is organised using a bar code system and I also have a small bar code
scanner that can go with it.
If anyone is interested in making an offer please get in touch. Only serious
offers please.

|
| My husband (Leego76)was an avid Lego collector and seller and we have around
about 80,000 pieces in the house worth around £10k according to ReBrickable.
I have the inventories which I can email but they only show roughly 90% of what's
there as there is some we did not manage to list before he sadly passed. He gave
me a few suggested actions and so I am hoping to sell the unopened shop in one
go, bank transfer on collection (SO53, UK).
Any help / advice as to how I can best do this would be very welcome, I realise
I cannot sell it on here (have just read the discussion forum rules!) and am
not trying to but if anyone can help or give me some advice that will help me
list it without it being a massive undertaking I'd really appreciate it.
Many thanks

| Author: | Leftoverbricks | | Posted: | Apr 3, 2024 11:59 | | Subject: | Incorrect parts price inflation | | Viewed: | 286 times | | Topic: | Selling | |
|
| I observe that some parts are regularly offered for exorbitant prices when there
is actually no reason for this.
Take for example this part
This was previously only available in set and
These sets were limited in number and are much sought after.
Since 2024, a new set has been available that contains this part.
It can be purchased in any LEGO store or reseller. But I still see that every
new seller of this part bases their price on the original price when this part
was still rare.
This it totally nuts imo.
I'm thinking of parting out 10 sets containing this part and pricing them
at around 50 cents to change the price guide which will force future sellers
of this item to sell this item cheaper.
To the sellers: do you also experience these kinds of crazy things?

|
| Hello everyone!
I would like to upload in my inventory several used 3004 parts (so far 95% of
my inventory is new).
When separating, I have noticed that I have few different bottoms:
- The common one (first picture) is with bottom tube.
- The second one (second picture) is with bottom tube, but with the tube "empty"
(not sure if there is a specific word/characteristic for this...).
- The third one (third picture) seems to be an old version.
- Then, the fourth one seems to be a very old version of 3065.
My question is, how do I upload them? Altogether under 3004 without any remark
(in the case that they are all in good condition...)?
I have read in the forum that people do not like to have different entries for
the same part (only one for new and one for used), so... I would like to avoid
having many entries for 3004 used but, at the same time, would you be happy receiving
10x 3004 where 8x have normal bottom and 2x "empty(?)" bottom?
Also, what if some parts are in mint condition and some others are with some
scratches? How do you normally differentiate them in your shops?
Sorry for the long question, but hope I made the point!
Thanks a lot!

|
| I ran across a CD of Gary Istok's Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guid
in a box of old old RCX and NXT era books and CDs. I know Mr. Istok has released
newer editions of his guide. Do you all think there is any point to listing this
perhaps as a custom item?
Is that even permissible now that LEGO owns the site?

| Author: | getlego | | Posted: | Mar 31, 2024 04:23 | | Subject: | Any theories on why a used part costs more ? | | Viewed: | 113 times | | Topic: | Selling | |
|
| I randomly looked at some parts in my inventory and I found one example of a
used part costing ten cents more that a new part. I'm sure I've seen
other examples but that's not the issue. What is it that drives prices the
best. Is it possibly part of the algorithm to fill someone's wanted list
or do people mostly default to used parts on that list? I thought this could
help us sellers use better methods of selling somehow.
The part I'm talking about is 3068bpb0929 2x2 map tile. Last six months .27
cents used, compared to .17 cents new.
any thoughts on this ? I've sometimes thought about listing everything used
unless it was a rare part. You would lose money up front but possibly make more
sales ???? Apparently on this part you would make more money. Just a strange
topic I thought would be fun to discuss.

|
| Not sure if this is allowed here but I have to unfortunately move away from my
store, so I'm selling everything off.
My store consists of almost 10k pieces, there are no minifigs, I only have some
weapons and accessories, the rest are lego pieces, everything is used. Feel free
to DM me for the BrickStore file. The store fits in 6 Racco drawers, and I have
got one more that is empty, but brand new, I've just taken the packaging
off of it. There are also a few shipping supplies.
The rest is in bulk form, I have A-sorted it and washed it. There is a variety
of parts, and a couple sets that have been taken apart, everything is only used.
There is a total of around 40kg of bulk that I am trying to sell.
Given the quantity, local pickup is preferred, but shipping can also be arranged.
Located in England, UK.
Feel free to DM me for any additional information and images.

|
| It has been about a year since my store was last opened for a month or longer.
I'm presuming that there have been a number of significant policy changes
in that time, particularly for sellers. That being said, I do make every effort
to keep up; I read the Forum regularly, being especially alert for posts regarding
seller issues (and resolutions) and selling tips.
What I'm really jittery about is the potential for fraudulent PayPal chargeback
once I begin pushing out orders again. Out of my 776 feedback (775 positive,
1 neutral, and 0 complaint), 510 of the positives were for selling. Even my one
neutral reads "Awesome seller". So I'd like to think, at least, that
a potential buyer will trust me to get their order correct and sent to them in
undamaged condition.
But that, of course, does not stop a handful of buyers from pulling the ol'
chargeback lever despite the fact that they got their order complete and undamaged.
A lot of the posts I've read over the years from high-feedback sellers regarding
this nightmare is that, more often than not, the seller ends up on the losing
side of the dispute. This is the kind of thing that I'd like to avoid or
at least minimize.
Any advice? Any special tools or methods you use to keep fraudulent chargeback
to a minimum? Even basic advice regarding making the selling experience as issue-free
for the buyer would be welcome. I have initiated automated checkout.

| Hello Bricklink, I'm moving across country in a few months and I won't
be taking my store with me so I need to get working on offloading my inventory.
Would prefer to sell the whole lot rather than have a fire sale; would really
like to hear from any others who have had to do the same.
