|
| With only about 60% of buyers leaving feedback, 10 in a row is a rarity for me.
I don't think I've ever had more than about 15 in a row, but thanks
for those who leave feedback.

| Since it will be over a year until my next feedback brick and I just passed some
other "milestone" numbers, I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone
who's purchased from me over the past 5 years.
3,000 orders
100 favorited
100,000 store visits
Thanks all!
(more classic space parts on the way next)

| Do sellers really think that it's ok to list an undamaged part or figure
in "new" condition? I keep seeing stores that have descriptions of their
"new" figures as "mint" or "great condition" and then
95% of their used figures have damage that has to be noted like:
"FIGURE IS GREAT CONDITION!, except the torso is cracked and there are scratches."
I've sold thousands of used minifigures and probably 10% of them have had
damage that's required adding a description. Are these the unluckiest resellers
in the world or perhaps there's something fishy about all of their "new"
figs...
Constantly frustrated by dishonest sellers,

| I added some good condition and hard to find classic space sets (493 Space Command
Center, 6901 Mobile Lab, 487 Space Cruiser, and 452 Mobile Ground Tracking Station).
I still have a Galaxy Explorer to add as well as some space bits and pieces
so check out Blockbusting Bricks if interested.

|
| This has probably been raised before, but is there anything that can be done
about these sellers who list figs from the 70s and 80s as new? It’s hard to
be 100% sure they’re lying (even with feedback claiming buyers were sent used
as new), but how much circumstantial evidence is enough? I saw a seller today
who had some very rare castle figs listed as new, so I checked his parts list
and, wouldn’t you know it, some of the exclusive parts from those sets are listed
in used condition with damage noted. Really?
I’ve also sold a used fig to someone before and saw them list it as new a week
after I shipped it.
Why bother having a condition if you can just lie and there are no consequences?

| Found one of these in a purchase recently and couldn’t find very reliable info
online. Any owners of chrome stormtroopers care to comment? I believe they chromed
them assembled causing the white behind the arms, inside 1 or both legs, and
very visible if you bend the legs.

|
| I just found most (if not all) of the bags for 6190 sealed. Some of the parts,
in particular the trans-neon orange, have no listings or sales in the last
6 months. Any ideas on how to price these? They seem in demand as used condition
so I imagine I could price fairly high. So should I just go for the "price super
high and gradually lower it" philosophy on these or is there another less hands-on
approach to sell these like: price at 10x average used or some other "rule-of-thumb"?

| Maybe BL can implement a simple limit on the number of messages that a 0 or
1 feedback seller to like 5 a day or something as a temporary solution to the
scam/spam emails? Just a thought for a simple measure.

| I usually end up tossing the last couple hundred tiny pieces from a bulk lot
in the trash after a good look through because as anyone who's bought used
knows, the end can get a bit dirty...
I was just about to get rid of my latest remnants when I spotted one of these
beauties:
Almost tossed $30 in the trash and I'm sure I've done it before and will
do it again... guess that's why these are so pricey.

| Probably already mentioned, but didn't see it in a quick search.
I just got my purple brick (yay). I got it with 999 feedback instead of 1,000.

|
| Anyone have a 41880 (old sand green yoda head with no eyes)?
The description says softer plastic and my more recent yoda heads are a softer
plastic than this one (neck can be squeezed a bit on the newer ones).
I don't see LEGO printed inside (I know not all pieces have LEGO), and it
doesn't match the description of being softer plastic, but nothing else in
this lot was counterfeit so not sure... Thanks.

|
| I just found the Motorized Hogwarts from 2004 in a bulk buy and I can't get
the motor to work. I'm trying to figure out what the culprit is. The regulator
green light comes on and turns a fainter green when I turn the knob left or right...
I think this is working as it's supposed to. However the train motor does
nothing. The wires on: "Dark Bluish Gray Electric, Train Track Contacts with
Wire and 2 x 2 x 2/3 Brick" are a bit frayed, but I don't want to assume
that's what's bad and sell the train motor if it's not working.
I also don't want to assume the wire is bad and toss it since it's a
$50+ part.
Any suggestions on how to figure out what's working and what's not?
I've got newer power function trains and an older monorail as well as a big
bag of old random LEGO motors and wires, but nothing else 9V that I'm aware
of to help me figure it out.

|
| Maybe already mentioned somewhere, but I have a wanted list for the creator roller
coaster. The Set is about 4000 pieces and I’ve marked that I have about 600 of
them. The bar at the top says 3%. Is this not an indication of my total % complete,
but rather a percentage of parts that I have at least one of or some other weird
combination of metrics? Not sure if it’s intentional, but seems a bit useless
as it is.

|
| I've had several buyers request invoices instead of doing instant checkout,
but I've also had many buyers say that they can't do it.
I currently have a buyer trying to create an order, but he claims the only option
is to select a shipping method.
(I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times, but I'm not seeing
it).

| Is there a way to send a notification to people with open carts for your store
that you'll be closing temporarily soon? Seems like every time I close,
I have 1 or 2 people message me that they have open carts.
