Looks like the “special ads” section in some 1980’s newspaper

Now you are showing your age... lol

Nah, it’s only second hand knowledge
What it shows though is I think “dirty” otherwise I’d have referred to spy stuff,
like 1940’s BBC’s “Les Français parlent aux Français” (French speak to French,
résistance’s coded messages).

| For sellers that buy their lego by weight a field in the settings where a seller
can enter cost per weight would be really useful.
If there was, then the cost per piece field could automatically be filled in
for the seller, instead of having to work it out manually each time. And the
cost of inventory would then be quickly reflected.

It was great wheen BrickLink for about a year ago had some articles where we
could meet some sellers. Fun to read and great for any BrickLinker, I think specially
for sellers.
Coldn´t we have something just the same with some buyers? Invite them to participate
and show of their collection. What do you collect? Are you a builder or just
collecting? Any special finding to tell about? What do you seek now? Any goal
whit your project, collection?
Et c.
I been a collector my self and I often think it´s not so easy to share my passion
with ordinary friends, not that many of them understand Passion of Lego at all.
Maybe more people out there thinks the same?
I think this would be a very good byer friendly marketing thing that could increase
traffic and sales to the site.
God or bad idea?
|
I did see a seller that has something like "send me a pic of what you built and
I'll share it on *insert social media here*" Which is something I thought
was neat. I'd love to so something like that.
In person, meh, not if they know who I am (as in they have bought from me and
now have my address). Unfortunately being a woman in a mainly "male" hobby sets
me up for all sorts of stalkers.
Honestly, I feel your pain, not being able to share, but thats what expos/events/etc
are for right?

This is hilarious, but I do admit I'm happy to have a $30 non set order and
would consider it large. I honestly have made about 40+ orders here and don't
think I've ever spent $30 at once except when I was finishing a #6985 and
the parts were very expensive.
What I really find is when people are selling as HUGE LOT of lego online/craigslist
without pictures that some questioning reveals its like 3 lbs worth. That's
what it reminds me of.
Anyway, I see both sides,

People have different budgets and levels of disposable income. I am happy to
get a $30+ order, aren't you? Mocking the OP only reenforces his viewpoint,
so way to go, I guess.
Regardless of OP's budget, his complaint is has merit, I have felt the same
way shopping in some seller's stores.
