Lepin was well known for having the Lego stamped studs...its been a few years
but there was a huge statement about this up on a certain auction site about
the counterfeits having the lego print on certain parts. The HP Castle and their
knock-off of the Executor were two prominent offenders. Often they were even
being listed in "Lego" box art.

I never saw Lupin or any other brand that produces Lego like material using
the Lego logo.
So, in my opinion if it has Lego in or on the studs it truly is Lego. I have
no doubts about this part from looking at the picture.

The more detailed images look less like Lepin...they have the proper shape in
the hollow studs and the plastic is not as translucent or sketchy. It might actually
be a legit piece.

I don't know what it would go for but it's not counterfeit.

Would it be possible to send this to one of the LEGO Customer Service representatives
so that they can tell one way or another?

If done discreetly and through channels, we all could benefit from knowing for
sure if this is genuine or not.

Cheers ...

  Hi all.

Just spent some time doing my least favourite task: Adding wheels and wheel assemblies
to inventory....

I have always liked the option to use assemblies where it makes sense to do so.
One example is where a specific tire and wheel combo only exists as one exact
example or one color combination. There are very few of those, I think.

After spending time identifying wheels and tires, it can save you a ton of headaches
in the future if you LABEL THEM with the part numbers.

How are you supposed to LABEL tires from a used lot you haven't identified
yet?

True, custom it is.

I don't wanna burst your bubble but that is counterfeit. I have seen them
come up a lot in my unsorted lots. They are LEPIN used in their rip off of some
of the Harry Potter sets. If you check I doubt you will find part numbers on
the bottom but they will probably still have a logo but it will likely be rounded
off or smoother. They are likely still printing them from stolen molds that
were supposed to have been destroyed. Another give away is the color mixing of
Bley and Tan which was common of their HP knock offs. I find this a lot in lots
of bulk parts I buy on auctions. Another common version has Red and Dark-Red
marbling also usually with worn logos but no part numbers.

Oh well worth the shot though. Thanks for helping.

The first one is the one I was looking for. THANK YOU!!!

Its great because when printed on a standard printer page you can just lay the
tire on the picture for size and width comparison. I added several of the 'additional
notes' from the catalog entry to the pictures as well to identify variants.

I highly recommend this chart for every person identifying tires.

If I can take them apart safely, then I sell them separately.

to inventory. Im wondering if it might be easier to separate all the wheels and
tyres and sell them that waY, as I find all the different combinations so difficult
to work with! What do other sellers do? Is there a better way that I have not
yet thought of?
Many thanks
Debbie

Tyres? Ah... tires!


I think it's better to sell them separately, this way buyer has the choice
to put any tire on the wheel, as there can be multiple assemblies. IMO.

Hi all.

Just spent some time doing my least favourite task: Adding wheels and wheel assemblies
to inventory. Im wondering if it might be easier to separate all the wheels and
tyres and sell them that waY, as I find all the different combinations so difficult
to work with! What do other sellers do? Is there a better way that I have not
yet thought of?
Many thanks
Debbie

Yeah, something occurred since Friday. For us, and apparently you now too.

Oh well. I'm going with the "que sera, sera" approach to this

The IOSS number should be on the VAT receipt generated by BrickLink.

You'll need to use a service like Pirate Ship to send the IOSS number electronically
- you can't when you purchase postage at the retail counter, and PayPal's
implementation of Ship Station doesn't provide for it.

EU VAT will be collected by BrickLink. The buyer is responsible for any customs

Make sure to send the BL IOSS number electronically, or your buyer could get

Highly suggest a service like Pirate Ship's Simple Export Rate (chat with
their customer service to enable this).

Something odd while processing an order this morning: All items within the order
that were sold out, had the red zero active-link to stockroomed (zero) inventory
of that item. What you’d normally see when the “Retain items in store inventory
after items are sold out” is activated within store listings.

It happens from time to time.

It seems related to the instant payment feature.

Just before the buyer's trying to pay, BrickLink moves the order items to
stockroom so no one can buy them while the buyer's is on PayPal for example.

This can last up to 10 minutes as what I've heard, don't know where.
So the buyer can make a few trials if he doesn't manage to fully pay immediately...

When paid, the quantity of the items is ajusted accordingly to the order, and
the items are "un-stockroomed".

But apparently from time to time, or when the quantity falls to zero, those
cannot be "un-stockroomed" because quantity==0.

So they remain in stockroom with quantity==0.

This is normally purged at midnight EDT, and/or if you active the corresponding
feature in your shop settings...

I see. Thank you.

Though now I'm left wondering why it's the first time for us then

Thanks again, in any case.

after items are sold out” is activated within store listings.

In all our years operating as a vendor here, we’ve used that feature on a handful
of specific listings only, rarely iow. But every listing within this morning’s
order with zero remaining, linked to a stockroom listing of said item. I knew
straight away what the issue was, that the feature had been activated over all
of our inventory. After processing the order, I simply went into our inventory
management page and reset it.

Really don’t know how the change occurred other than not by us. First off, I’m
hardly on that page anymore. Secondly, as said; we've never used that feature
in that manner before. Maybe last night’s update/maintenance or some other event,
who knows

This interrupts how we utilize the very useful Stockroom feature here on BrickLink.
So yeah, perhaps more salient an issue for us than maybe some other vendors.

Nonetheless, just a heads-up to check yours

I know that you have to have at least one shipping method selected to open your
store.
They would have had to remove it after opening? Strange indeed!

Now comes the strange part.
I entered the cart today to find that there were "No shipping methods available"
for the things in my cart. I was mystified, as my cart had normal things easy
to ship. I tried emptying the cart and putting other things into it only to come
up with the same result.
I then happened to notice this store has been open for a month with a good quantity
and in demand pieces, yet has no feedback, probably because any carts made came
to the same screen as me.
Do some members simply take the shipping methods off their store instead of just
closing it when they want a break?
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, LOL.

jamesgregurich must not of set them up yet. I would just send them a message
asking them to setup their shipping methods.

Good morning everyone. I have been an Italian seller for a few years.

But I've never figured out if the amounts I put on individual pieces can
be automatically updated every x time based on the average price.

Thanks to those who will be able to answer me!

I have a customer who did a quote request and all items except one will fit in
