| | How is the best scale to weight Lego parts?
|
Hello
it depends, if you are weighing individual parts and you want to be precise then
a set of 0.01gram jewellery scales are great and readily available on sites like
amazon.
If its for weighing larger amounts then digital kitchen scales are great.
Hope this helps

|
| Hello All
Its time for a change.
LEGO sales have been getting less and less for me, while my other business has
been taking more time.
So with this in mind I`ve decided that the space taken by my LEGO store needs
to be put to better use.
From today most parts in my store will be 50% off - as most of my prices were
fairly competitive this should make for interesting prices.
The only caveat is that my minimum buy has been increased to £25 to make this
worthwhile and to get rid of lots of stock in a single order.
At the end of this I hope to have a much smaller store dealing in the lines I
like, Duplo, Primo, Bionicle's and some of the more esoteric LEGO lines from
the past.
Have fun.
David

Just wait,
Its not like Bricklink is owned by a multi-billion (DKK) company whose annual
profits are rising year on year and could if they wanted actually make bricklink
the premier Lego parts supplier.
Waiting for new inventories, parts etc is daft. Especially when brickowl seems
to be able to get new inventories on within days.
What exactly has TLG done for this site.
Salty but yours is one of what seems like many a week asking the same thing.
I`m sure someone will come back with the usual "the catalogue admin are volunteers"
Well here's an idea, employ a few full time on good wages, increase the fees
a few % to pay for it if you have to.
Just to clarify this is not a rant at the OP, its just a frustrating state of
affairs,

The BrickLinkVATReceiptEU12345.pdf is printed out and clearly visible on the

Now make the customs problems about the order, that the custom dosent found the
IOSS number & will take again the payed VAT from the client.
Are that not for every customs now after nearly 1 year clear how it functions?
The client send already again the IOSS number & the BrickLinkVATReceiptEU12345.pdf
to proof it, but again dosent accept the belgum border this.
Best regards Daniel and stay healthy.

Yeah, this has been happening a lot lately. Not sure if the problem is specific
to BrickLink or a wider problem with customs in general.

Its a wider problem, I`ve had it across all platforms I sell with.
writing the IOSS and amount of VAT paid does not seem to have any effect.
Its frustrating.

Hi again
It could be mega bloks part

seems like the original MOC maker decided that LEGO purity was less important

For those of you that weren't selling online in the 90s, the civil war in

In war torn regions, credit cards often get stolen, that's a sad fact. Refugees
and the victims of war often can't call their credit card company to cancel
stolen cards.
I just received a very questionable order from a new buyer from a country that
is currently welcoming a large number of Ukrainian refugees. Perhaps this isn't
related, but I strongly suggest sellers only use shipping with tracking and double
verify the Paypal address for this region on larger orders.

Well the online instructions still show the pink flower being used to create

I am not exaggerating when I say I could have gotten 5 times as more working
minimum wage here in Illinois...
I don't blame the buyer, I blame myself.
I spent the 5 hours packing without stopping. I organized everything into colors
and types of pieces as well. I picked them all out then really quickly wiped
it and packed it.
The picking took 4 hours!!!
Not only that, but I work 7 days a week and I just spent the little free time
I have packing this order.
Do any of y'all have any tips because I swear I was contemplating closing
my store down for good because I was in disbelief it took SO long!?
Thank you!

unfortunately this is the conundrum of running a lego parts store. 1 of the major
things to sort out is your storage and honestly yours is obviously not streamlined.
74 lots would take me about 10 to 20 mins to pick.
Right from the start I wanted this to be a business and to that end I spent about
£1000 on storage drawers, and spent time labelling them.
Maybe invest in a few stack-ons just to see how it goes, because unless this
is a hobby and your just trying to get rid of a few parts you got cheap then
you need to consider your own time as the next 74 lot order you get is going
to feel like a drag and your going to end up not enjoying what you are doing.
And in the end everyone should enjoy making a little cash from their own efforts.
I wish you well for the future and hope you find a solution that works for you.

Unfortunately you will juts need to wait until someone parts out and inventories

Waiting for volunteers to upload inventories on a site actually owned by LEGO

Hello
Nice finds,
The tractor looks like it may have the trailer from the another toy, maybe the
chick with trailer or the wooden truck.
Price wise, maybe place on as a custom item and price high to see if there is
any interest.
The story board is not that rare, its till a nice item but probably only worth
about £10.

Many areas of the UK are experiencing delays due to royal mail short staff and
Christmas mail, trouble is you will always have those buyers who wont understand
or even listen to reason.
How long since you posted and what service did you use.
You may just need to accept that you get these sorts of buyer very infrequently,
refund the order and move on.
Also - any buyer threatens me with a negative gets told to wait. sellers need
to stop worrying about the odd negative your 300plus positives speak volumes
about your business.
