  Hi all,
could I ask your opinions on what the best technic set is, but from an engineering
point of view?
Not bothered whether it's a vehicle, building or whatever, I am trying to
find an interesting build. Doesn't even need to be a modern set.
Many thanks!

I found this set to be realistic in function, and fun to play with. My son and
I put 2 bins on the floor and moved pieces from one to the other.

  I have never put a limit on pieces sold, I have thought on the subject but never,
after all I am here to sell. But lately some orders are so large that it takes
hours to fill.

I tried to edit the store but see that it says lots to limit. Any suggestions
from you big guns out there how you/or if you have limits and how much. I was
thinking 1500 pieces.

Thank you in advance, Kathleen

I think of it in terms of how much I want receive for reaching into the drawer.
So, if i want 20 cents per pull, for a 5 cent part, i require a buyer to purchase
four of them. That way, if I get an order with 100 lots, at least I know it won't
be for $5 or $10.

Yes, it is useful, as I get a message immediately, and can remove it. Thanks
so much for your help .

Mmmmh no comprendo, does that mean if I report the post the account isn't
removed?

I can delete messages, and block users from posting. I cannot change or delete
accounts. That is done by higher ups .

Seller Ships to My Country Store: Capital City Bricks
Where do I begin...

I ship orders out daily and om Saturday. The packages don't get scanned
in for at least two business days (so they either sit in the blue boxes) or they
are not scanned until ready for processing.

Once they are scanned, they sit for at least another day, possibly two before
leaving the area. They are then shipped out to regions unknown ONLY to come
back to Tallahassee to sit for another day just to go to points unknown.

This is by far, a (edited). They change the name just so they can "stop
the clock" as long as they want and thus reduce the service times for delivery.
Prior to the "change" orders would go from the East Coast to the West
Coast in three days flat.

I shipped out something by Priority Mail and it took five business days to go
two states away. Now, I know I cannot "hand deliver" a package two states
away for $9.00, but come on USPS.

Sellers, have you updated your Terms or splash page to notated potential shipping
delays by the USPS? I guess we'll all need to make mention of such as if
I ship a package today, it won't get scanned for at least a day or two and
this may cause the borrower to think I haven't shipped it when I honestly
did. Truly aggravating to say the least


Rant over..

  Had this happen to me twice now....they flagged it as a flat because it was under
3/4" thick and uniform, I would bet. As flats don't come standard with
tracking, yet yours had it on there, so they bump it to Priority. I was told
that this was the way it's really supposed to be done, but rarely enforced.
This is the whole reason I add a lollipop or packing peanuts to all my orders
that fall in the under 3/4" range.

-Randy

Yes, I always had to add a crumpled piece of paper, or a piece of bubble wrap
to ship packages. The Post office had a piece of cardboard with a 3/4 inch slot
to easily check.

I feel so old when people ask questions about older parts. It brings back all
the memories of when I had them.

Lol, yup. Technically not technic, or even Expert Builder, Just tread pieces

You can post about items for sale here, but you need to open a store, and add
them there to do so.

Oddly enough some links do actually still work!

7x6 wedge no notches. color matched every other light bluish gray plate around
it in that bin...

so now i have to either question what gray is or call the buyer a liar.

i choose to question gray....

That part might not even exist in Light Bluish Gray. I think set 10030 has an
error in it.

That set was released in 2002, the same time that LEGO started changing over
from the old greys to the bluish greys. That set was a crap shoot as far as what
actual colors you would get.

I believe you need to change the status to "Ready" in order to cancel.

In Problem Order, BellaFux writes:
  Thanks a lot for your advice, I refunded.
Then I wanted to cancel the order - changed the status from PAID to PACKED because
in the "problem order" page it said only if i change the status, I will see the
option to cancel the order. Now there is the option "order cancel request" on
the order, but if I click there it opens "problem order" page again. (https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp?ID=19247123&requestCancel=Y)
if there I view my options, it tells me again, to change the status... I am going
in circles... ))

where do I cancel now?

I've spent 4 years hauling recycle and trash to the dump, and I will now
be working for the dump, (government job). I'm more of a making mountains
kind of guy, I guess .

Lol, yes, its not a "button", but still might be helpful for some. I'm well,
thank you! I've very recently changed jobs, and will have a bigger presence

Where is this Report button we're waiting for 22 years now?

https://www.bricklink.com/problemMessage.asp

It really should be easier to find

Wow Darren! Long time no see! Hoping you're fine.

Yes, and your link isn't a button, it's a form with a post ID to copy/paste
or worst, type

Sincerely, it could easily be easier nowadays
