I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

Where did you get this 2 month "rule"?

  Fellow BrickLinkers,

We are currently closing up to hit order No 25 miljon! What a ride and what a
great achievement from all you members - seller and buyers!

So as a number nerd - if the 25th million order happens to be placed at my store
I will refund all cost and ship it for free anywhere in the world! This offer
limits to an order value of maximum 200 $ or 200 €.

And also - if your store gets it and you post proof in this thread I will give
you 50 % off on an order for you too - up to order value of 200 $/€.

So, what day will it happen? Any day next week?

Also fun to hear if any have had any special order numbers in the past. I don't
think I have but had two orders in numerical order once!

/Niclas

I once got 3 orders in consecutive numerical order once. They all came in within
1 minute.

I put a post about it on the forum but i can't find it.

I remember. If it helps you find more on the topic, Niek showed himself as
the unofficially point man on this topic. If fact, I believe he achieved the
similar in consecutive order numbers. Anyway, the man is very good at this type
of data analyst and expression: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1320396


  
I hope i get the 25 millionth order!!

Get busy buying and selling

  Can anyone help?

After 6 months of not getting my money back for a refused international package.
(shipping was 50% higher than quoted, so I sent the package back)

You would have known the shipping charges when you paid. Are you talking about
customs fees or taxes? Was there a VAT form attached to your parcel?

  
The seller (Oasis in South Carolina) refused to refund my money until the package
came back to him. There is no detailed tracking on return packages, but it shows
that it came into the USA on October 28th.

He told me that it could take 6 months for it to come back. Since it is almost
6 months, I want to check back with him.

I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

  
All of my prior orders are gone and so are my old messages.

BrickLink purges all non-problem orders after 6 months.
  
I was able to download the order (without much details, but it had the prices).

You would have received a detailed invoice when you made your purchase. Find
it in your email account.
  
Is there a way to get back my messages? Or order? I did not delete these things.

No, but BrickLink messages should also be sent to your email. Have a look!
  

Unless your seller failed to attach the VAT receipt to your order, whatever charges
that occurred were likely not their fault. However, 6 months is a ridiculous
time frame and they should have responded to you by now with either a refund
or a resolution you could both agree to.

Good luck,
~Jen

You cannot have a minimum buy for shipping internationally and no minimum buy
for domestic. You can only have one minimum buy value for the store. If you try
to do it through the shipping settings, it will normally offer whatever default
shipping method you have when all other shipping methods fail. So if you only
have an international shipping option above a certain cart value, you will still
get orders below that, but that shipping option won't be offered. They are
still valid orders though, in that they reach your minimum buy for the store
(of zero, since you don't have one).

Yes but no - see my post:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1464775

I thought you could set up a fail safe international method with a minimum.
If it doesn't allow you to buy, then there's no shipping method, then
the buyer won't be able to buy.

I'm not sure, never tried, no minimum or such here, but it seems logical
to me?

I don't know now, maybe possible you can. I don't ship internationally
any more to try.

But whatever they do, the default shipping if everything else fails should have
the international shipping destinations turned off.

I need to sell all my minifigures/items that I have for sale on Bricklink. I
am moving and can’t take items with me.

There is 2133 Minifigures/items with a total of over £13,000. I am open to sensible
offers. I have sold items everyday since I opened it in October.

Please take a look at my store (A World of Minifigures) or message me.

You don't say in which exact cases it doesn't work (country, amount...)

I would NOT set min buy for the shop, as you did I think.

I would set min buy to the Shipping Methods, but:

* don't miss one (may arrive if you've multiples)

* type decimals using "." dot and not a coma "," or simply
avoid decimals (like 20 instead of 20.00)

I have a shipping setup for Domestic (works perfect) and a shipping for International
(only 4 countries included). Only for the international one i have added a minimum-buy,
because with all the documents its just to much work otherwise.

I did not add the ,00 - bricklink does it automatically when saving. It's
also the correct way (mathematically) its always a , never a . so i guess this
should not be the issue and can't be changed manually anyway.

But thanks for your feedback.


I tried for more than 20€ it shows "via Europe Zone 1 (DE, IT, FR, AUS)"

For less than 20€ that seems to be a manual "via Request for invoice"

So the problem is in the via Request for invoice method?

You should have a manual method for local, and a manual one for other countries,
with a minimum.

I think if you buy all the wave you can join the minifgis stands with the black
plate by the middle bottom.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Not super clear on the instructions.

Remaining stock (1941 pieces) is valued at an already competitive £205, but I
am looking to sell it as a 'JOB LOT' with over 50% discount at just £100.55,
and I will include FREE postage worth £6.49 (RM Tracked 48hr) No extra hidden
fees. UK only!

FREE postage!!

I have set minimum purchase at £100, but if you are interested send me a request
for invoice, or message me.

Store link: https://store.bricklink.com/Chunkleaver&utm_content=globalnav#/shop

Everything is pre-sorted in to baggies, and is carefully box up ready for shipping.
Immediate dispatch once payment has cleared.

Please note that this offer is only available to UK members, and I will only
ship with in the UK.

Thanks you AFOL's

4,892 lots available. Wow you weren't kidding


Crystal

That's about half. Think I might have a slight Lego hoarding problem.

I sold mine down a lot after I moved, but I had several tons for a while, always
a fun topic of conversation when meeting the new nosy neighbors lol.


Best of luck with your sales

Consistent sales if you don’t specialize tend to be around 100k parts with 10k

It's not the answer you want, but it depends. I would say ~100,000/2000
was when things really started to pick up, but it would depend on what lots you
have and how they're priced that matters most. Then it depends on if you're
doing new or used.

BrickMan brings up a really good point too; things sputter during the warmer
months. March was my best month on record; and then for the third April in a
row things hit a brick wall.

That's about half. Think I might have a slight Lego hoarding problem.

You have 2.5 tons of unsorted lego up for sale, and another 2.5 tons you haven't

I'm not sure for the hoarding, but he certainly has a sorting problem now

Everyone's path is different. Best advice would be to continue to build
your inventory in your spare time and budget constraints and keep your prices
competitive. Once your lot count expands shoppers will have more reason to purchase
in your store over a larger cast then just looking for a specific part you may
have.

I’ve had around 10 orders this month. My current inventory is 4,743 items in
1,573 lots but is mostly parts.

If you have 1000 items and 600 lots of minifigures they would probably sell more
than the same amount of parts

And the other thing if your prices are lower you may get more sales/orders

The white and orange Mech/Bionicle build appears to be a mixture of buildable
figure/Bionicle parts rather than one specific build.

Thanks so much for the advice!

In terms of the minimum spend, that does make sense. My thought process was around
ensuring enough profit to run viably based on less orders coming in due to being
new/less stock. And it has worked decent for minifigures but I can see how that
would limit part buyers which would most likely end up being a large chunk of
the buyer pools I would I assume?
Once I finish parting out all my remaining sets and stock for inventory, I should
have closer to 14,000 parts which still isn't a lot but should help provide
a good chunk more options for people than I have currently.

I can see where you are coming from. Most stores will include a packing fee
for orders, especially small orders. This will ensure that you will still make
a profit. Yes, a large proportion of buyers are parts buyers. Unless you have
lots of rare and hard to find minifigures of course.
  
That is a good point about letter shipping. I honestly didn't think about
it really as every person I have purchased from has always arrived in boxes or
bubble mailers..
I will have a look at adding letters as an option for domestic as that would
indeed drop shipping costs quite a bit for people buying parts..

Have a look at other stores terms and see there shipping costs and postage weight
ranges. Set a maximum price for letter shipping, and then if they spend over
that it has to come in parcel rate.
  
Yeah, that does make sense about international shipping. The main thought process
around opening up international was just about allowing more people the access
to see my store even though most won't really buy from my store.

Yep makes sense. Just maybe have a look at the list of countries you ship to.
When i shipped overseas, i just kept it too the main countries with good and
reliable postal services.
  
I do understand the difficulty I will probably have running a small store in
Australia. The main goals are to learn business & shipping, as well as I thought
it would be something fun to do. So I am not too concerned about getting regular
sales but do want to learn how to best optimize so I can learn the best way to
run a smallish business and shipping.

Makes sense and good luck with it all. Seems you don't have any unrealistic
expectations.
  
Thanks for all the feedback!

  Hey Everyone,

Opened my store just over a month ago but didn't know about this forum, so
thought I might as well look out for any feedback people might have..

The store is based in Australia and I started selling just domestically whilst
I took the time to figure out what I need for international shipping, pricing,
etc.
To which I think have got the information I needed and have opened up international
today in hopes to invite a larger audience as Australia is quite small compared
to the overall market from what I can see(around 4%).

I do understand that having more stock will be really beneficial and I have around
the same lot count in extra-storage that I am still yet to sort and add to inventory.
But as I have started this as a partial hobby, to get used to business-style
selling, etc, I only put a set starting amount of $1000 to build inventory as
well as a good amount of stuff I already had and am using any money made from
selling to reinvest back into more inventory.

Any feedback would be appreciated, whatever it may be.

Thanks in advance!

Hey mate,

Just a couple of things.

Firstly, you have a high minimum spend for a small store. $10 is a lot for a
store with only 7,000 parts. Most of the bigger stores in Australia have no
minimum spend or maybe a $1. To have a high minimum spend you need to have lots
of parts on offer so people can collate an order with a number of different lots.

Secondly, you don't have letter shipping at all? 70 to 80% of my orders
are shipped in small and medium letters. To have the cheapest shipping on offer
in your store within Australia at $11 is going to deter a lot of potential buyers.
Whilst letters don't have tracking, it is rare for them not to arrive.

Lastly, international shipping is expensive. So for someone to purchase from
a store in Australia you need to have things that are unique and hard to find
elsewhere. Common parts will be usually cheaper in their own markets. There
is no problems having international shipping, but it is rare to get an order.

Whilst Australia only has 4% of users, it has a disproportionate amount of stores,
740 currently open to be exact. USA has 6103 stores currently open, yet has
a much, much larger user base. It is difficult to run a small store in Australia
and get regular sales.

Best of luck

Thanks so much for the advice!

In terms of the minimum spend, that does make sense. My thought process was around
ensuring enough profit to run viably based on less orders coming in due to being
new/less stock. And it has worked decent for minifigures but I can see how that
would limit part buyers which would most likely end up being a large chunk of
the buyer pools I would I assume?
Once I finish parting out all my remaining sets and stock for inventory, I should
have closer to 14,000 parts which still isn't a lot but should help provide
a good chunk more options for people than I have currently.

That is a good point about letter shipping. I honestly didn't think about
it really as every person I have purchased from has always arrived in boxes or
bubble mailers..
I will have a look at adding letters as an option for domestic as that would
indeed drop shipping costs quite a bit for people buying parts..

Yeah, that does make sense about international shipping. The main thought process
around opening up international was just about allowing more people the access
to see my store even though most won't really buy from my store.

I do understand the difficulty I will probably have running a small store in
Australia. The main goals are to learn business & shipping, as well as I thought
it would be something fun to do. So I am not too concerned about getting regular
sales but do want to learn how to best optimize so I can learn the best way to
run a smallish business and shipping.

Thanks for all the feedback!

  Hey Everyone,

Opened my store just over a month ago but didn't know about this forum, so
thought I might as well look out for any feedback people might have..

The store is based in Australia and I started selling just domestically whilst
I took the time to figure out what I need for international shipping, pricing,
etc.
To which I think have got the information I needed and have opened up international
today in hopes to invite a larger audience as Australia is quite small compared
to the overall market from what I can see(around 4%).

I do understand that having more stock will be really beneficial and I have around
the same lot count in extra-storage that I am still yet to sort and add to inventory.
But as I have started this as a partial hobby, to get used to business-style
selling, etc, I only put a set starting amount of $1000 to build inventory as
well as a good amount of stuff I already had and am using any money made from
selling to reinvest back into more inventory.

Any feedback would be appreciated, whatever it may be.

Thanks in advance!

Hey mate,

Just a couple of things.

Firstly, you have a high minimum spend for a small store. $10 is a lot for a
store with only 7,000 parts. Most of the bigger stores in Australia have no
minimum spend or maybe a $1. To have a high minimum spend you need to have lots
of parts on offer so people can collate an order with a number of different lots.

Secondly, you don't have letter shipping at all? 70 to 80% of my orders
are shipped in small and medium letters. To have the cheapest shipping on offer
in your store within Australia at $11 is going to deter a lot of potential buyers.
Whilst letters don't have tracking, it is rare for them not to arrive.

Lastly, international shipping is expensive. So for someone to purchase from
a store in Australia you need to have things that are unique and hard to find
elsewhere. Common parts will be usually cheaper in their own markets. There
is no problems having international shipping, but it is rare to get an order.

Whilst Australia only has 4% of users, it has a disproportionate amount of stores,
740 currently open to be exact. USA has 6103 stores currently open, yet has
a much, much larger user base. It is difficult to run a small store in Australia
and get regular sales.

Best of luck

I’ve been having a hell of a time lately with new part outs. Mostly with dark

Yeah, I pulled this out of a new sealed set last year!

Maybe used is better than new??

Hey, I just found one of those in a five dollar bag at the thrift store! And
it was in fantastic condition too!

I didn’t find one but I just picked a random expensive part. Neat

Some of the Light Bluish Grays are fading to an odd paler color. (Whether still
sealed in box or not.)

sometimes bricklink seems to do that, perhaps try clearing cookies/cache and

the "partner fee" on paypal in sales tax. bricklink gets none of that
money. they only get the fees that sellers pay once a month.

you can apply orders to your wanted lists by going here
https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettingsCols.asp?v=p&viewFrom=O
and selecting "Items in Order on My Wanted List Icon" and then clicking
the scroll next to the order and then following the information on that page

So this is kind of a multi part discussion so brace yourselves.

Lets discuss the partner fee we pay through PayPal as well as the "Fee"
we pay for selling items here. The reason id like to discuss what these fees
are used for is because i feel some of the money that we pay to use this platform
should go toward making improvements on Bricklink. Yes i am aware that someone
has to pay to keep the lights on, literally snd metaphorically speaking. I do
also know that with the platform essentially complete, it does not cost as much
money to maintain. Im also fairly certain someone familisr with bricklinks code
is still on the payroll. im also aware the platforms newer version is still being
worked on correct? So since bricklink doesnt actually help solve any of the very
few issues that arise (monetarily speaking) where does this money go? the most
important item that needs addressing is to pay someone to add the ability to
automatically remove items from our wanted lists that we purchase. To me this
seems to be a no brainer in regards to convenience. People like myself who suffer
from neurological disorders that make us forget things much more easily are taking
a hit. Yes it is my fault im not denying that but i feel as if no one would complain
if the option is added somewhere in our settings. i know im kind of ranting and
i know the Lego Group can do whatever they want with their money, but without
our generous double dipped fees, this platform would cease to operate. And i
have no ill will toward lego or bricklink for requiring fees to be paid. All
organizations require some fee since the very first Home owners association we
formed after exiting our caves for good. But seriously im not irritated at anyone
but myself...

I will refund all cost and ship it for free anywhere in the world! This offer

And also - if your store gets it and you post proof in this thread I will give

So, what day will it happen? Any day next week?

Also fun to hear if any have had any special order numbers in the past. I don't

It looks like your store only has 6,724 orders. Nowhere near 25,000,000. Do
you have another store on a different site? Thanks very much!

I think they meant the order number which is assigned to each order

Thank you!

Does this color look similar?

It looks you have here the OLD light Gray, and the Newer Light BLUISH Gray.

+1 it looks to be this order
 
Part No: 32316  Name: Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 5
* 
32316 Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 5
Parts: Technic, Liftarm {Light Bluish Gray}

32316 Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 5

Part No: 32316  Name: Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 5
* 
32316 Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 5
Parts: Technic, Liftarm {Dark Bluish Gray}
either that or its just a faded/discoloured light bluish gray version

Early runs of Light Bluish gray often has bad color stability.

/Niclas

Any chance you know which sets had early runs? I can cross check against sets
I have, and see if I can dig out possibly other liftarms with the same color.

Early runs of Light Bluish gray often has bad color stability.

Hi and welcome to Bricklink! You can't sell on here without first making
a purchase and receiving positive feedback from the buyer. I always try to leave
feedback for new buyers right away so if you see anything you like in my shop,
I'd be happy to help you with your first order!

Hi,

Sorry but:
You can’t advertise items that are not for sale in a store.
You need to open a store.
And, yes, you need some feedback first and that means buying something.
These are the rules.

  I was going through my stock of 1x5 liftarms, and stumbled upon a color I have
not seen before. It is somewhere between Light and Dark bluish grays (middle
part in attached picture). It is not the old grays either. What is it? Bricklink
does NOT list such color. Could it be an off-brand or else?
It dies have the typical mold markings in the small openings (part number etc).

Any thoughts?

Does this color look similar?

It could be a discolored version of light gray

Do not remove the NSS until you have Proof that the seller has refunded your
money and you have you have received your money back.

Seller is now suspended with Preventive action lol, not sure whether to just
sit here and wait or try and figure out what to do... it's a 3k order so
I'm pretty worried rn🥲

If the seller has been suspended, it probably means there have been several similar
complaints. You almost certainly will not hear back from the seller or get a
refund. You should be working with your bank immediately to get a reversal of
the charges. Was this an experienced seller with good feedback? I assume seller
did not offer paypal for payment. For a valuable order, I would not have recommended
using a payment method that did not give buyer protection.

Yeah but I've bought from the seller loads of times before and he's got
283 reviews. Just seems odd that he's gone cold and u responsive all of a
sudden...

Yeah he was suspended a month ago but had his account reinstated after, I wonder
what the issue is this time as I have last heard from him on the 7th of April
and he hasn't been responding to my messages since.
Really like his store but seeing that it is a huge order I've placed I'm
warry that I won't get my money back...

  any help is appreciated! I would just like to know the "Dos and don'ts"
of selling LEGO's

Do: Open a store before advertising you have sets for sale.

Okay thanks
