Hello

I buy some minifigure torsos.
And there notice "crack under the arm" i understand 'arm crack'.

Seller reply : "Very clearly stated in description cracks UNDER arm, not
ON it."

Did I get it wrong?
Other sellers clearly enter the subject
Example : cracked torso (left, right,..) side

It's the first absurd thing I've ever experienced

What do you think about seller notice?

Thanks.

it is vaguely worded but "crack under the arm" can be understood both
way with the cracking being on the underside of the arm and the crack being under
the arm on the torso.

That's right
There are two interpretations, but usually they clearly write down the subject
of the crack

explanations

I generally write something similar to this when the torso is cracked, no one
has complained.

Hello.
Yes, I found out that the seller may vaguely announce it this time
I'll be careful next time, and I just hope there won't be any other victims
who interpreted it like me
Thanks

If you see a description such as this and are unsure, contact the seller before
putting the torso with a badly worded description such as that in your cart.

If they don't reply, it is up to you to figure out yourself whether you want
to put up with the hassle of dealing with a torso that either has a crack in
one or both arms, or in the torso itself.

Just my opinions.

Cheers ...

Yeah.

I won't buy it again in this store,
If other stores are using ambiguous notices, I'll ask the seller and buy
them

I don't want any other victims
Thanks.

I consider both you and the seller to be victims.
Both of you have been hurt with the negative feedback.

I would imagine most sellers would just remove or replace a cracked arm rather
than sell it cracked, no?


I personally say "torso cracked one side" or something like that

if its an expensive torso then maybe but if an arm is cracked I usually just
say something like "1 arm is cracked" or something as replacing it usually
isn't worth it

Interesting. I have a ridiculous drawer of spare hands and arms
I'm always happy to put them to use I've got more than I could ever
use. Lol

Funny enough even tho I sell the broken arms sometimes when they are on the torso
I have 2 large ziploc bags and 1 large drawer completely filled with spare hands
and arms I guess I throw out a lot of torsos

RIP to all the URUK torsos that had a hair line arm crack that, then dark brittle
brown exploded the torso when trying to remove the dark red arm.

Then I get mad at myself... "SOMEONE COULD HAVE USED THAT FOR AN ARMY BUILD!"

I'll say "Torso cracked under arm socket". I toss cracked arms.

Yeah see that makes sense to me also.

Do you note the circular scratches under arms when they are obvious? I saw a
seller calling them "underarm swirls" years ago and I stole the term.

"Underarm swirls" is a great description, I'm going to use that too!

If I'm going to list a torso with cracks/nicks/underarm swirls/etc it's
going to be because the torso is still worth good money, so I will be as descriptive
as possible and offer to send photos.

High-end minifig parts is a tough category to sell in - some buyers can be very
particular.

I think I would have interpreted this as a torso crack.

"crack under arm" implies that the crack is not on the arm itself.

It would seem odd to note location of the crack on the arm since arm cracks are
almost always in the same spot.

Just my interpretation. Ambiguous though.

To mimic the others, clearly stating what is cracked would be best.

"arm cracked" or "torso cracked"
