Should I just list them as 4070?

Thankfully, since there are so many headlight bricks with varying levels of partial
holes. It was definitely a manufacturing defect.
|
You think the horizontal slot is a defect?
I believe, until Lego says otherwise, the slot is meant to be like this.
Out of all my 4070 at least 80% have a slot, no matter what year or color, no
matter what set it came from.
Too much for a defect.
It is a slot that is always the same form, sharply formed, very straight and
small.
I think it could be made for pressure relieve.

Yes, if you look from the inside, the hole is always moulded there. Sometimes
there is a thin skin over it. I think all my newer parts have the slot, with
older ones being hit and miss.
I believe the note on the part 'This part is occasionally found with a small
horizontal slot in the front near the base. This is believed to be an unintentional
feature.' is incorrect. Should be the other way round 'occasionally
found WITHOUT a small...'

"This item was marked for deletion because it sets a precedent for adding
dozens of unnecessary combinations of hinges as assemblies to the catalog."
Whereas it is impossible AFAIK to pick one color per sub-item (minifigs are defined
as "complete set", you can't pick one and choose other legs colour for instance).

3830 or 3831 on BrickLink.
I sell used bricks, nearly all of these come to me as a complete hinge, in order
to sell them I must either sell them as a pair or manually separate them and
then list them separately.
I still don't understand why they were marked for deletion. There only single
colors in the catalog, no crossed colors, no decorated items. Nothing but plain
single colors.
I will sell them on other well known sites.

Not saying it should be deleted, but that reason is valid. There are plenty
of sets where the two parts have different colours. Why would those combinations
not be available to buy?

Inside is a sharper curve and has a smooth top.
Outside is shallower curve and has a serrated top.

is it possible that this brick is not listed ? i only find the 2015 2016 and
2012 Version.
|
I have a couple of similar bricks I can't find listed.
I'm pretty sure I read on here (can't remember if it was on the forum,
or the guidelines for part submission) that no more of this type of part would
be accepted as they are considered custom items, rather than an official LEGO
printed brick.

experienced those irresponsible people who order and go away or give those funny

i just hope the management of bricklink can work out something to avoid these
so as to have a better protection to our sellers.(such as set limitations for
new account or consequences of cancellation) thank you for your time. God bless.

Suggestion:
Setup instant checkout and require buyers under 5 feedback to pay immediately.
|
You would also need to make Paypal Onsite your only payment method.
I've had a couple of people have an instant invoice, and then not pay, or
have problems with payment.

One obvious use is to do like S@H: limit resale potential, er, I mean, allow
more customers to be served.
|
But as a Bricklink seller?
There are lots less overheads involved in selling 10 items to one buyer, than
one each to 10 buyers.
Unless OP was intending it to be like S&H's gift with purchase, i.e. spend
X and you can buy this item cheap.

I would have thought panels would be used rather than bricks in modern sets for
clear.

Anyone know the logic in calling
a "Bush" rather than a "Bushing"?
Don't know that I have ever seen this type of isolator ever referred to as
a "Bush" anywhere outside of BL.

I've seen both, but then I have always thought a bushing was a plain bearing,
which this part isn't. (Although it sort of can be.)

Much the same way as Ebay. I'm not sure why they call it "feedback". I strive
to offer a good service & if there is a problem, I will resolve it.

My favoured solution would be feedback rating only calculated on the last 12months
transactions, with the exception of NPB/NSS which I feel should be on permanent
record.

It is the same in the UK. If you are offering goods for sale with the intent
to make a profit, then the income is taxeable and should be declared. So arguably
everyone in the UK listing new bricks for sale would fall under this.
The Inland Revenue does not want people on a small turnover setting up as a business,
declaring a loss, and claiming tax back from their main job. The figure I had
quoted to me was £2K turnover.
The other implication of being a registered business vs just a guy, is consumer
protection legistlation. In EU for example, you have a right to return as part
of distance selling law, and lots of protection regarding description of goods,
being fit for purpose etc. This is completely different if you are buying business
to business, and many of the protections we rely on as a consumer just don't
apply.
