I messaged a seller a few weeks ago about a certain set which was pretty good,
he had a good description of it, they are a small seller, so I thought reply
time would be pretty quick. The set is not a very common set, being exclusive
in some places around the world so I was vey eagerly waiting for a reply. Still
no reply after 3 weeks, but they have read the message.

I still am after the set, is there anyway to get them to reply?

Thanks,
The Cute Giraffe

Was it just a request for info you sent? Seems odd.

I have run into this same problem with many stores overseas. I will wait for
1-week tops and if I don't receive an answer, I will move on to the next
shop.
Your money is obviously not important to them, and your time is more valuable
to you.
I am sorry there are people like this out there in the Bricklink Metaverse.
Out of curiosity, what set is it you are looking to buy?

I absolutely adore this set and would also like to own it.

I may part it out into a wanted list and pick up the pieces over time. I find
that it can be cheaper to do this with some sets over buying them complete.

You could also check out other marketplaces.

I was thinking about that but Twitch would be a wonderful addition to my collection,
it's the last toy story set I need!! I've got them all second hand/used
so far, makes them cheaper and I can do it all in 1 order. Thanks for the advice
though.

I'm trying to get it second hand and in Australia to cut on overseas postage.

How much are you willing to pay, including shipping, taxes, etc? (in AUD)

If you were interested, I can try and find a set and then ship it to you at cost.
So far, from scouring Ebay I could get you a used set that is missing Lotso,
the instructions, and the box for ~$275 AUD (includes shipping costs to you,
insurance, tax, etc). A sealed set in a crushed box would cost you ~$350 AUD
(also includes shipping costs to you, etc).

Just an option if you are desperate.

Maybe try again? Perhaps they forgot about it
