Seems it is right in that range, so probably so (buyer paid USD). But still,
why will the shipping services not let me bypass the VAT requirement? Guess
I'll need to talk to them.
Thanks for the clarification though on BL side of tings.

If you manage to ship, you should inform your customer that he will have to pay
taxes when importing 😉 else he might be suprised

| | Hello there,
A rather large domestic ($50 USD) order was confirmed by a completely new buyer,
but then 30 minutes later the buyer made an order cancel request, citing the
reason under, "System Problem", with details "urgent buy, cannot wait for the
pending order". Bricklink says that buyer remorse or finding cheaper prices is
not a valid reason for canceling this order, and this is probably the case here,
but I also do not want to risk receiving negative feedback and ruin my 100% seller
praise. I reached out to the buyer yesterday with a high-priority flag, but no
response. What should I do?
Thank you.

Definitive cancel the order and refund if he paid.

I have a fixed rate which is a bit below what it costs to send 350g. This way
I earn some on shipping for small orders (needed as it takes some time to pack,
envelope cost, delivering at post office etc). I loose some money on large orders
which is fine as I get my profit on the actual parts.
Hope this helps, good luck

You can see on the picture that the red brick is a bit higher than the lego bricks,

Also a metallic sound, or a sound as if it was made of glass, is not found in

IMO it is not lego. My best guess is still ABC Copex.

Ive never heard about ABC Copex. I did a Google search. It could be this as the

However, from the pictures it looks like ABC Copex has taller studs. Am I right?
My bricks studs seems to be the same height as lego.

You can comment feedback, tell them sorry, you weren't aware that they wanted
disassembled set. Also add a comment to your used sets telling the state of

You could always send him a message and tell him that your sorry and tell him

ask him to kindly change his feedback if he's changed his mind (give link

I've bought from them. In general I seldom buy less than 2€ pr lot. As mentioned

to customers who does not buy in bulk, but you'll need to pay for their working

A 360 lot order would take me 6 hours to pack. Also those parts would take about
12 hours to sort and put in inventory.
I'm also guessing that their actual shipping fee is more than 15€.
It'll be cheaper for you to add more items per lot than to pay their fee
And they do for sure have large lots.

I'm looking for a developer to do some work for us. Initially it's a

We're not sure exactly where the work will lead, but interface / app
development may become a requirement.

I've got a bag of old lego bricks from the 80s. They all got scratches or
dents. It's about 350gram.
I also got about 5kg of various pieces which are mainly lego with scratches,
but there is also some off-brand lego.
Normally I give them to local schools or kindergardens.
I'll send it for shipping cost. 350g is ca $10 to USA.

| If you add all your parts to your inventory, then you can export them from bricklink
and import them to rebrickable. Rebrickable will tell how many parts your missing
from each set.
The sets from bulk lots always miss some parts. Luckily bricklink is here for
you, so you'll eventually find all missing parts.

I've split parts into about 15 categories. I sort everything by these categories.
Then I sort by specific type. At the end I sort by color.
I've made my own software to calculate price automatically which gives me

What if you don’t include the field (row) at all? (Let it use the default value.)

Tried that, but then it just remains unchanged so if that inventory lot already
had cost, then it will still have its old cost.

Ah, yes, the default value is the old value, so rather useless

the decimal and it uploads as $0.000 cost without erroring out.

So the test is on integer 0 (or even string “0”), not floatting point 0.0. Well,
sometimes little errors have their usefulness

I believe what he is saying is that 0.00 won't work. But 0.0000001 will work
and it will round down do 0.00.
If I remember correctly from my previous experience, the check for valid number
checks if number is larger than 0, but rounding to 2 or 3 decimals (depending
on your settings) is done after check.
Something tells me that old bricklink code didn't have much unit tests

From the eyes of a buyer, he added his shipping address in bricklink, he buys

I'd say that it's sellers responsible to verify that PayPal address and

I disagree. Sellers *must* ship to the PayPal address or they lose seller protection.
If you do not ship to the PayPal address, the buyer can open a PayPal case and
the seller will automatically lose even if the shipping status shows that the
package was delivered to the "updated" address. This is a common scam.
Buyer is fully responsible for ensuring that the shipping address is correct
for PayPal and Bricklink. I don't see why the seller should assume this role.
|
From a sellers perspective it makes sense to send to PayPal address.
From a buyer perspective (at least here in Norway) it makes sense that it is
sent to bricklink address.
Regarding a PayPal claim PayPal will take side according to PayPal shipping address.
Regarding a bricklink claim bricklink will take side according to Bricklink shipping
address.
What if customer pays with something else than PayPal, where should the seller
send it?
If seller should always send to PayPal address, then why does bricklink have
addresses for buyers?
Why does the invoice say that items will ship to bricklink address?
If seller wants to be safe, he have to check both addresses. And if he doesn't
check both then he'll have to accept the risk of it.
If you order something from lego.com: if you have recently moved and your credit
card is still registered with your old address, but you provide the new and
correct address to lego.com. Who's fault would it be if Lego send your package
to your old credit-card address?
I buy and sell on bricklink.

If he did provide wrong address in bricklink as well, then it's his fault.
In such case I guess you would win claims both in PayPal and bricklink, so if
he wants to cancel then I guess you would keep the 50$ and refund the rest.
I've had similar case, it ended up with customer paying for the extra cost
and he got his parts, I gave him a coupon for his loss, as far as I know he was
happy about it and I didn't loose much.

Either you or the customer has to register that it has been paid before you can

If you have verified in your PayPal account that customer paid, then simply change

Thanks for your answer. I see what you mean, but it seems to me that by doing
so, in the long run you pay a much higher price per part than you would have
if you had bought a set that contains all the parts you want. Personnally, as
a buyer on a tight budget, this makes me somewhat uncomfortable.

If there was 1000 different lego parts then you could probably do what you suggest.

If you were a criminal and managed to hack into someone's PayPal account,
what would you do?
If you were PayPal and wanted to prevent people stealing money from other peoples

In my opinion you acted as a criminal on your own PayPal account and PayPal is
protecting your money to prevent what seems like a theft. You should send the

figs that are missing parts but still listed as new. So am I being singled out
by someone following me and reporting anything I do just to be a jerk?
Thanks in advance.

A companies decisions are based on my factors. Most likely this decision is based
on what benefits the most.
For my store minifig parts sell easier than complete minifigs. Don't worry,
parting out should be fine
Btw, local kindergardens love to get those yellowed parts

Has anyone tried to collect, and complete, the parts catalog? In other words,
collecting every part in every know color. It would be an interesting challenge
to say the least.

I'm trying, I've spent almost €20.000 so far But only got 13.000 lots
so far. And I have duplicates as I distinguish new and used parts
This store is getting close: https://store.bricklink.com/GermanParts?p=GermanParts&sortBy=1&breakType=M#/terms

| | Is it possible for Bricklink to improve the method of requesting insurance for
an order?
Currently one has to add a comment to another area, which I am not sure if the
seller sees.
Also when doing instant checkout through Paypal, there is no way to add insurance,
as the order gets paid for before the seller even sees it. (To the best of my
knowledge, as I am not a seller.) I do add the comment anyway, but it seems
kind of pointless once the money has been sent.
Not sure if I am in the minority with my consistent request for insurance. If
so, then it is more understandable why this may not have been addressed previously
and/or may not be addressed soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I think this depends on the sellers setting. I have instant checkout in my store.
Insurance is a checkbox at checkout.

I list a lot of used stuff, but I would wager that I'm not very efficient
at it, so hopefully others can give you better answers. I probably spend 20 hours
a week or so on my store between everything.
The hard part, I think at least, is once the numbers started to really pick up,
I don't have time to list/sort anymore like I used to. Something to consider
if you are limited on time.
You might find you can only expand/sell so much before you have to quit your
job to continue growing.

Thanks for your feedback currently about 7 hours pr week is spent on my shop,
but I keep my store closed half of the time to catch up on orders. I'm considering
to hire someone to work 8 hours pr week, but I'm not sure my shop is profitable
enough. I need to measure time and do some calculations. I think now is a great
time for hiring as many people lost their jobs

Bricklink recently moved all torsos with pattern into a new category, which resulted
in avsearch not finding them.
I've fixed it now by adding an option for plain/decorated torsos. Enjoy:
http://avbricks.no/#/avSearch
avSearch is based on goatleg by 62Bricks with some additional input from mfav.
For your information, the new nougat colors are not yet fixed, but I am aware
of the issue.
I'm considering to take my store from being a hobby into something more,
and would love to get some feedback. I am planning to find out how much it costs(how
many hours) to sort and register used-bulk-lots. Did anyone measure or research
how much time you spend to sort bulk lego, and what is the best strategy? My
current strategy is:
1) sort everything into 10 self-made categories
2) sort each category into specific pieces or narrower categories
3) repeat previous step until everything is sorted by specific pieces
4) sort each specific piece by color
5) Add to my inventory.
I plan to check kg/minute speed for each of my steps.

| Thank you very much for your feedback I've fixed most of it Here's
the current status:
pitz8008:
The way goatleg used to do this is not possible anymore due to security fixes
on bricklink. I have some ideas how to make similar solution, but I need to know
how you want to use it. What is the purpose of searching, what is your next step?
List the part in your inventory?
mfav:
Regarding loading time. There's 2 main reasons for this. Servers are located
in Frankfurt(Germany), Filesize is big because of a library I am using. However,
once loaded everything should run fast. I've looked into it, but didn't
find a quick fix for slow loading time. I know a fix for it but it'll take
some time. It is not currently prioritized. Let me know if it is too annoying
FIXED: Search for Yellow Head, Any Stud Type, keyword: scar. Returns zero results.
FIXED: Search for Black Torso, Blue Arms, no hand color selected. Returns zero
results. (I got 9 results, but it seems to be correct)
FIXED: It appears that for any search all dropdown options must have an active
selection to function.
FIXED: At narrow screen widths the wrap is malformed or something
FIXED: It is returning blue arms, sand blue arms, medium blue arms, etc. Not
just blue arms.
User request not yet implemented:
- Loading time is slow in USA.
- Wish the search functionality was available in same window as bricklink (Need
clarification/user story etc)

Did you ever download your inventory? (Download button at the bottom of the page)

I spent some time rewriting goatleg so that it will be easier to update and maintain.
Functionally should still be the same.
I'd love to get some feedback.
- Please let me know if I introduced any bugs, and I'll fix them
- Any suggestions of important changes you want, please let me know and I'll
consider them.

I'm guessing that 3 of those hoses are old hoses from old lego technic set(s).
The black hoses weren't that black at that time (1985-1990).
You could compare it with the hoses from the lego technic set 8862 (yellow backhoe),
a set which I'm currently in full process with (cleaning parts and rebuidling
to have pics for showing quality) before selling on BL

It is not right to erase people who have contributed to the catalog and turn
them into a meaningless number (and a username that rhymes with "loser.").
The first attached image shows people who have contributed a set inventory to
the catalog. For each person it was only one inventory, but it was time they
took out of their day or week to make a contribution.
The second image shows people who have added items to the catalog. One person
added 113 items. Another added 97 items. Yet another added 87 items. And so
on down the list.
Some of these unregistered users are no doubt dead. Some have moved on to new
pursuits. Some may be in a coma or in prison. Who knows why any one person
hasn't logged on or may never log on again?
BrickLink wants contributions. BrickLink wants an involved community. But when
BrickLink treats former contributors so dismissively, by erasing them into meaninglessness,
it makes me think they have no respect for contributors.
BrickLink contributors deserve better treatment than this. Anonymizing people
who have contributed to the catalog was a poor decision. It was a careless and
heartless decision.
I urge the site to reconsider the decision to anonymize any former catalog and
inventory contributors.

It is probably related to privacy laws. If someone deletes their account it is
for a reason, and many want their info removed. This is a guess based on related
issues on other places.

Andrsv, you want to take the two hours to write yourself your version based on

there and neither do I.
Also, be aware you may have maintenance issues with the code, and you’re probably

He linked to my page from goatleg.no. What makes you think he don't want
someone to host it?
Why don't you want it out there? What's wrong?
Btw, I haven't used it myself, I just noticed people wanted it.
I may update it on request. Also I plan to put a tool there which combines duplicates
in your inventory. Currently I'm running a lot of self-made tools locally,
I needed a place to host it
I've bookmarked your instructions on how to create search function. It was
too long to read, so I didn't have time yesterday. Is it better than goatleg?

I have my own copy of the mini-figure-outer site that I always found to be far
superior. Could not get used to a frame above (goatleg) unless I rotated my
monitor to portrait mode. I'm a tab person.
Nice part is with your own copy you can move things like the colors yellow and
light flesh to the top of the list under head colors. I also ripped out the
color headings and tweaked it to make it as fast as possible (for me anyway).

What's it worth to you?

I'd pay $5-10 for a months access. Personally.
I don't use it too often, but when I do, I need it a lot all at once. So
I'd rather not have to sign up for a whole year.

I've hosted it here temporary:

I just ordered a proper domain, so it'll move soon.
I think the costs for running this will be less than €20 pr year I'll
serve it for free for you guys, enjoy
