Re: Condition(s) for Used Items

Topic:

I've had mixed results too.

I've bought bricks from a seller just labelled used and they've been
like new, from another labelled exactly the same and they've gone straight
into my scrap bin.

Some labelled as normal wear for age and they've been gauged, bitten numerous
times or absolutely covered in scratches,not light wear marks or odd scratches.

In Catalog, JRBricks writes:

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but is there a possibility to have
more options for listing used items? For example, I was shopping around for a
few hard to find, relatively expensive minifigs and in searching I notice from
lowest price to highest the Used ones of course are usually listed first, and
I appreciate sellers putting descriptions to help out, but most listings under
Used simply don't have more details. Especially if we are all using stock
photos, it's hard to discern between used minifigs when all have the same
stock photo and just listed under "used." Honestly, I just don't take a chance
on those and look for used with a description that has "like new" or "adult owner,
never played with" "displayed only" "great condition." etc.

Again, sellers have to type in those descriptions, but can there be options such
as "used - like new" "used - heavy playwear" etc. to give more accurate listings?
I guess a store's front page can be a good place to generally describe your
items too. Just a thought and if it's easier like it is then so be it and
I will advise sellers to try to give good descriptions for used expensive items

World production of paracetamol is concentrated in China and India, the two countries

Dear BrickLink,

Considering the worldwide situation, the financial measures already started in
many countries (including the USA and the EU) and the financial measured not

add two new, but actually quite ancient, (mostly) universal, and staple currencies:
TP (Toilet Paper) and PST (Pasta).

If a buyer orders an item incorrectly listed as Dark Nougat, then the seller

Dark nougat is a new and rare color, so items listed as such should be carefully
verified. That is the seller's responsibility to the buyer.

If a buyer orders an item incorrectly listed as Earth Orange, it is site policy

An administrator gave commonsense advice for handling the integration of the
new color. That does not rise to the level of site policy.

that it is common sense that it might be the wrong colour

It has been the wrong color since whenever these colors were added until now.
The site has made progress and you complain? How would you recommend handling
the situation? Removing all items for sale in earth orange and insisting that
every seller examine the colors before relisting them for sale?

but since the seller listed it incorrectly, there is no assistance from site management in the event of a claim.

Again, true dark nougat parts have always been listed incorrectly. You are making
something out of nothing merely for the sake of having something to be unhappy
about.

Tetchy are we not? I did not ask you for an opinion on anything I said. I asked
a question (twice) as a paid up customer of BrickLink on something on which I
am unclear and to which not furher diection has been given other than the fact
that members who cannot understand this must use common sense. Now put your little
boxing gloves back on the shelf please. You would not begin to know what makes
me happy or unhappy. I've not said ANYTHING about the progress or lack thereof
of this site. I am not the only member who have expressed confusion about this
issue as raised by a member of site management and in fact the only current catalogue
administrator. I am tryig to get an understanding of what is meant by having
common sense and maybe/maybe not atatements applied to an agreement. That is

That's always the problem with special bricks, rarely is there something

I've more I want to sell but I'm holding off until I can find time to
do some research and price accordingly.

Check out those listed under 3001special, paying attention to descriptions, however
it's very limited in providing useful information unless your bricks closely
resemble those there.

Items sold on BL provide no useful information as detailed information on individual
bricks is not available.

They regularly sell between £20 - £80 each, less at the higher price, I'd
guess £30 each is not unusual for one a little rarer.

The old advice comes in here, price high and be prepared to come down, you could
ask for offers if already listed and then sell it through BL at the new price.

I had one brick, not 3001special which I didn't want to sell despite numerous
generous offers but eventually sold through BL at a very good price, couldn't
say no.

However a lot are sold under £10.

Also check out Flickr if you have time to dig around and find those being offered
there, many of the collectors will post items on offer.

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.

Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.

I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.

If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

There are a number of bricks associated with Wrexham too, many of which aren't

These look like many other standard bricks, nothing unusual, the only one I would

Samsonite of North America produced these sideways logo bricks too but the mould

I apologize. You are right. Every transaction has a right to be discussed in
the forums and not via private messages, errr, I mean your PMS. We are all in
your circus and are your Monkeys

Note that private trades, as in: trades outside the Bricklink order system, are
not allowed, and are therefore not allowed to be discussed at all - whether in
the forum or in private messages. That would be fee avoidance. That's why
Maxx is asking for it to go via Bricklink order.

On the other hand, this isn't a transaction that involves money, and I'm
not entirely sure what the policy is on that.

I will buy his listed items, he will pay fees, and we both hope the postman isn't

A remark of this kind would worry me a bit.

Nah, I understand what the Devil means.

I would send any client six pictures, before end-sale.
They would also receive the tracking number on that day.
Geez.

I've read about brittle blue being a period in time where the plastic turned
'weird' i suppose for whatever reason? However in my experience as a
seller, I fully believe it is a result of exposure to sunlight and such. Nothing
more. Blue, white, yellow and grey's turn all sorts of weird shades over
time. It's inevitable... I don't understand why we always talk about
brittle blue but not brittle yellow? If the part is not the right shade i'd
just throw it in the trash.

The term brittle blue is not just a discoloration. It is a bad quality plastic
that breaks easily. Other color bricks may discolor, but they don't just
break apart like the brittle blue pieces.

Is there a "brittle brown"? I was building a set from the early 2000's and
I had multiple pieces explode in my hand while building. I'd never seen anything
like it. Set looked in good condition otherwise.

It does look like Brittle blue and from the description of how easily it broke,
i believe it is.

As has been said, it is known as brittle blue as even the most gentle squeeze
can make it literally explode in your hands leaving very sharp edges that can
cut.

Sun faded or discoloured blue looks a deep greenish blue but still behaves
normally, not easily broken just like other faded colours.

There is a small market amongst collectors as a curiosity, especially any 2 x
4's, i have the 3001 and some others but not the duplo bricks.

Firstly let me say that we know suggestions are not being implemented and according
to MP no work is being done on the classic site however this is a small request
which doesn't require huge amounts of development time and would make life
a bit easier.

Currently the method of manually adding inventory is long winded, provides no
audit trail of what has been done and at best is clumsy.

We use Brickstock for most of our updates to our store. It is much easier, quicker
and provides us with a complete audit trail - the only real snag is what happens
when the file gets to Bricklink, The verify screen drops off the Bricklink part
number for some reason so we are left with an audit trail which, when variants
are involved, isn't really all that helpful, although to be fair we have
used this for some time.

Simply placing the bricklink product code on the verify screen would be very
helpful and this is not a major programming issue. At the same time give us a
print button to print that screen Using the print command from the browser doesn't
work well with the page setup falling short of what is needed.

This is a simple matter and could be resolved in minimal time - please implement.

Takes an absolute age, good light and examples of lbg parts to sort them, going
to be a mammoth task.

In Colors, legoman_74 writes:

So what do you do with them? Do you list them separately and describe them accordingly
with color variation? They are definitely more "yellow" than the typical old
light gray but they are not the sun burnt yellow and as mentioned, they are uniform
all over, including underneath. These are good clean pieces with little to no
wear and I hate the idea of discarding them thinking they are "bad".

Now I wonder how much of my old personal collection may have this with the old
light grays? That will take time to go through.

Hello,
So I am well aware of the "sun burnt" effect on white, blues, yellows, the old
light grays and among other colors, however I am sorting through quite a bit
of used Lego with the old light grays and I pulled quite a bit of them out believing
they were discolored by the sun. Upon closer inspection, they appear to be quite
uniform in their color, including underneath, just definitely a different shade
than the others and not quite like the "sun burnt" ones. Does anyone else out
there recall issues with Lego having off color batches on old light grays in
the past like they have trouble with now on the new light bluish grays and yellows?
Thanks in advance for everyone's time.

@StormChaser: I used Americanisms throughout. If you want a cut 'n paste
copy with HTML mark-up (with no footnotes) then message me your email and I will
send it to you.

This was more difficult than I had anticipated, and took a lot of research, writing
and re-writing, checking over and checking over again, and so on. However, it
is the start of what will probably be a great series of discussions, so I will
not be offended if any or all of the above work is changed/removed/obliterated,
etc.

There were places I could have written reams of information, but I realised this
was not part of the remit. Hwever, I had to provide some footnotes to keep my
insanity and know where I was confused or had difficulty in providing a definition.

Footnotes:

1 There are no items in the catalogue under the 'Legacy' category.

5 The complete assembly characters (like the goblins) fit in the second

7 Second part was to be split out under discussion ‘Minifigure, Head,

wrote.
9 "All but three of these sets were models of a form of vehicle and many
of these sets were duplications of sets released within the LEGOLAND (theme).",

10 There is no ’Modulex Tile’ category!?
11 This is more of a ‘tag’ than a category.
12 There are four sets

4677-1 (Inv) Name Letter blister pack

in this category.

a It always makes me giggle when I see the use of the word (and forms
of the word) ‘mold’ or ‘mould’, particularly in the context of bricks, as we
are talking here. Imagine the term “molded design” as a brick designed to carry
a fungi ecosystem on it, rather than a plastic heat- and pressure-formed designed
shape.

Since the English language is unique to most languages of the world being that
it is has freedom to form and re-form, lets now refine the words mold and mould.
Right here goes: ‘mold’ is a “frame for shaping something”; and, ‘mould’
is “a furry growth of minute fungi”. I will inform Mariam-Webster and
Oxford of the changes they need to make to their dictionaries.

It was all intense though, I actually enjoyed finishing this work (didn’t enjoy
doing it as much).

A quick question: How do i identify whether a window has an extended lip or not?
such as on item number 31, there are multiple different similar mold types and
apart from the stud differences im not seeing where this "lip" is.

Still don't know what to make of it, got me puzzled.

In Catalog Identification, normann1974 writes:

What does it look like inside? Are there inner walls with round holes through
them as though it were drilled, or is there something else going on?

I've taken a picture of what the inside looks like. There are 8 sets of "walls"
that go up against each other - one coming from the top part of the brick, one
coming from the bottom. My guess is that they're glued together. There is
is one set of walls under each stud.

I split one of my old 7049b's today, and it's clear to me that they're
not the same inside. And 3907c has tubes inside, so it's not that either.
Because both top and bottom of my brick look official, my best guess is that
it's a prototype.

I don't know where I got it from, but my best guess it that it was in a box
of 6 kilos of used bricks I bought a couple of months ago. That box had approx.
1000 yellow minifig heads without print (and only a few other minifig parts)
and 72 blue left doors without a single right one, and around 500 maxifig parts
(heads/torsos/arms/hands but almost no hair/hats). So I bet those parts originally
came directly from the factory in Billund, and that white brick could have been
in that mix.

3001old Brick 2 x 4 without Cross Supports
Parts: Brick

The 3001old we have are without Cross Supports, but seems newer than the one
pictured, as they don't have the old LEGO logo. They come from old sets from
the 70's that we part outed. The 3001old period ranges from 1954 to 2006
(though I doubt for the last year, I think it ended sooner).

We had an issue with a customer, who already owns some 3001old with the old logo,
and newer 3001old he ordered in our store.

Should we put a notice on the item page? Should the 3001old reference be splitted
into 2 references?

Opinions welcome!

First time user of Bricklink. Was excited to buy "new sealed" discontinued star
wars set on behalf of my son at what I thought was a fair price.

Posted positive feedback immediately because item was sealed and appeared to
be in authentic packaging. All logos present with circled R and tm etc.
Upon inspection of parts even noticed "LEGO" on all studs. However edges were
sharper than genuine parts, also in general parts felt lighter, minor differences
in shapes of familiar elements. Amazed at the attention to detail of the fakers.
But, in my heart of hearts I know it's a fake set. Instructions and promotional
items all there etc. I don't think my son even knows or cares. I've also
compared the seals and box to "youtube speed build" of the same authentic set
and noted differences in seals and packaging(e.g. barcoded box seals).

Is there a way to report a seller if you believe they are selling fake sets?
I would like to report this person so that others don't fall victim as I
have. I would never want to pass this set or it's elements on as authentic.
I don't even care to fight for my money back, but I don't want this to
happen to others. It has eroded my trust in bricklink at this point.

Thanks for listenting to my rant,

Duped in NC

Re: Expanding Bricklink towards Playmobil

It would be good to have the ability to switch from one site to another, if only
to check which manufacturer a particular part came from.

I like the idea of a site for each or a combined site for less popular brands,
some are very collectable e.g. Kiddicraft.

Others have proposed they should all be sold here, that's why you might get
a frosty response from some who like me don't want this site changed in that
way.
Once they understand what you are proposing some may see the possibilities.

Oh my god calm down, I never said it should happen here, I only said the Bricklink
team has the necessary tools/means to do it imo. Of course it could be on another
website (I did mention the names playmolink or kilcklink, if you readproperly)
and I think it should. Or there could be a button on the top of the website to
switch from the Lego version to the Playmobil version, for example.
That's it really, nobody is going to soil your precious Lego with all these
disgusting Playmobil.

Hello,

I hope someone from the Bricklink team reads me.
Here is my suggestion: why not expand Bricklink towards Playmobil products?
While the AFOP community isn't quite as vibrant as the AFOL community, there
are many adult fans of Playmobil out there (including me) who have been sharing
and buying/selling for years now on different internet forums. We even have our
own sets/parts database at playmodb.org
But this community lacks a global and well-organized marketplace like Bricklink.
So why not expand? It would be a bit of work from the Bricklink team's part,
but adapting Bricklink's framework to Playmobil products should be doable,
especially if you use the playmodb database which would spare you quite some
trouble. And it ultimately would mean more money for you.
I'd very much like you to consider this project. If playmolink or klicklink
or whatever its name was ever created, I'd certainly be the first to set
up shop and do publicity on your behalf to the AFOP community.
Thank you for your attention and have a nice day

There are at least two scammers that come back day after day, one of them can
come back two or three times a day.
They get a couple of big orders before they are shut down, so they believe it's
worth the effort.

A store was reported by at least two people, one hours ago and once a short time
ago, they had two orders at that stage ( second report ) and were listed as 1
favourite but it's still open.
This is one of the repeat scammers.

When an order is placed, the ordered inventory is removed from the store's
stock, right? What's to stop us from just "ordering" all of the underpriced

somewhere else.

That's.... Actually a good idea. It would have to be a minimum of five reports
within say one week before it gets shut down (and it resets every week). Otherwise
sellers or members who don't like each other would just spam each others
stores with reports and keep them closed.

I would suggest that once a store has been checked out by the bricklnk admin
it should be exempt from further automatic suspensions to prevent rival stores
starting a war. And only apply to zero feedback stores.

There are sellers on ebay that do this. They set up account sell a bunch of $1
free shipping items, build up 100 feedback or so, then unload all the really
big items. Its a much sneakier scam. Give them the trust of a decent feedback
score and boom. So they could do the same on here. Actually sell a couple cheap
items and then drop the high $ stuff. Just so they could get past that 1 or 2
feedback rule.

Honestly anything put in place someone will find a way around it. But the main
key is to slow it way down. 75% stop rate would be awesome. Even if every idea
I have ever read about on here were all in place right now, there would still
be people getting around all of them. Its just a fact. Where there is a honest
way to make some money (big or small), just know the bad guys are not far behind.
They can sniff it out. And most times bad guys are one step ahead. You fix a
hole in the fence, they tunnel under the fence, you build it deep in the ground,
they get a ladder and climb over. But you don't just leave the hole and think
they will stop coming though. So something needs to start being put in place
to at least really slow them down, before this place becomes like a mine field.

it is pamphlets for the coming rapture .com explaining the coming of Jesus, and
quotes from john3.16

The US constitution guarantees everyone freedom of religion.
Also freedom of speech. So I think if a seller wants to promote
their religious beliefs through their BL store that is their right.

The US constitution also allows people to not believe in religion,
if they choose not to. In other words the government can not force
people to go to church or read the bible.

To look at it from the other side, what if a seller was an atheist.
Would a believer in religion be offended if they got a short message
in their order that stated that the store owner was an atheist and he
or she thought God did not exist and was promoting the atheist view?

Just wondering if there would be any different reaction from buyers
concerning the atheist message vs the bible message?

I do think we may be venturing too far into the realm of what isn't allowed
on the forum. SO perhaps it is better to just note:

Religion exists. So do sports teams.

If you are on a different team, the other teams may seem like the "bad guys."

If someone likes their own team and invites you to like it, it's perfectly
fine to ignore them. If they keep bugging you about it they are in the wrong.
If you decide to punish them for liking the "wrong" team, YOU are wrong.

If you want to invite someone to like your team, go for it. But putting a disclaimer
in your store might help a bit: "WARNING: I am a HUGE KY Wildcat Fan. John Calipari
is the best recruiter ever. I may send a University of Kentucky sticker with
my order. If you don't like it throw it away. If you are a Cardinal...well...good
luck in your future loss against Kentucky next year!"

If someone asks you not to send them a sticker with your sports team (or a religious
card/pamphlet) then don't. Some people you send your orders to may LOVE
your sports team. Or religion. Or whatever. And they may LOVE that little bit
of a connection as a way to say "You're not alone out there." Heck, when
we meet a fellow Bricklinker in real life it's an awesome thing, because
of that connection we automatically have.

I think I've made it as clear as I can without breaking any rules. Politics
and religion are touchy here - it's not realistic to pretend they don't
exist, but arguing who is right or wrong is just going to cause problems so let's
not resort to that (I'm looking at people from both sides, now!). Better
to just remember that we are all here because we love LEGO, and discuss the touchy
subjects elsewhere. And even from a religious standpoint, I think there is precedence
for us to basically "stop bothering people" who ask us to leave them alone.

To protect buyers, make BrickLink a safer site for everyone, and encourage sellers

"WARNING! BUYERS BEWARE! READ THIS SELLER'S FEEDBACK BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER!"

If the seller has less than 90% positive feedback as a seller, another banner
should appear if the buyer ignores the first one and submits their order. This
second banner should say: "SERIOUSLY?!? ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD WITH

If I want to report a suspicious store I would go to the Problem tab and select

The available "what is going on" options are not suitable to report several situations.
This leaves me feeling unsure about the reporting procedure. If I am unsure I
might not file the report.

Please add a few common options and a generic "different problem" option.

I think we could use:
- Member suspected of scam or fraud
- Member describes Custom fraud in store terms (lowering amounts, sending as
gift etc)
- Member asks for PayPal Friends and Family payment (no buyer protection)
- I wish to report a different problem

I guess the community can add a few other options.

I don't use bitcoins and don't intend to accept them or pay with them,

probably have a similar experience, at least in countries where bank transfers
are free.

I accept this may be the case,I'm not a user of this form of payment normally,though
I have used it.
It's quicker and easier for me to use Paypal as I don't use other forms
of on-line banking.
Do people pay for £/$/€20.00 by bank transfer? I understand 200.00 in whatever

wow that's an amount,

The danger of volatility is not simply that you will hold an asset that varies
in price. Users of Bitpay are subject to counterparty risk AND have little or
no regulatory protection.

The counter-party risk is less than with PayPal. Bitcoin payments are converted
instantly to fiat by BitPay and the balance transferred to your bank account
once per working business day. Bitcoin payments are not subject to potential
chargeback. BitPay has recently received angel investment from the richest man
in the whole of Asia Li Ka shing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Ka-shing) who
has a personal weath of 31Billion USD. Seehttp://bitcoinexaminer.org/asias-richest-businessman-invests-in-bitpay/

Yes, bitcoins are infinitely sub-dividable. And it certainly looks as if some
of the folks creating them hope to hold a significant portion of the total off
market to increase the need for subdivision. Put another way, they appear to
be attempting to corner the market before it exists. And when they do sell,
they will make more on options than they did by cornering the currency. With
all the volatility that exists, it is reasonable to ask if this has started already.
And to complete the circle: If this becomes generally understood by the population
of potential users, it is very reasonable to assume that bitcoins will not become
widely used. Currencies that have already reached critical mass do not have
this problem. Subdivisability creates its own reason for a small currency to
fail.

I will not bother to address your argument in detail. Suffice to say that it
is a myth that people don't liquidate their appreciating bitcoins and buy
goods with them. For example on Black Friday Gyft did more bitcoin business than
CC business. None of this has any bearing on whether or not is it worthwhile
for a merchant of Lego or any other goods to add Bitcoin payments to their current
list of payment options. If nobody uses this option you've lost nothing.

"once per working day" + high volatility = counterparty risk. I invest in lots
of companies. They do not have the right to tap my bank account when they are
a bit(coin) short. It would be interesting to see what currency used by paypal
is its most volatile and what percentage of their total business it represents.

I don't mind your not "bothering" to address an argument in detail. But
your non-response response makes little sense. If a currency is infinitely
divisible, the volume of use says nothing about the percentage that is held off-market.
I'm happy that Gyft is happy. They do not represent a meaningful percentage
of holiday sales. In fact, I doubt they represent a meaningful percentage of
one tenth of one percent of holiday sales. Didn't Silk Road have more bitcoin
sales than CC sales too? Though, I understand they had a drop off during the
holidays.

If it is a myth that a significant portion of the bitcoin inventory is held off
the market, can you please point me to a resource that debunks it? I'm happy
to be wrong about bitcoins, but need a lot more convincing.

Of course you are welcome to transact in a currency that I shun. If BL can add
it without using scarce resources, then why not?

Having looked briefly into bitcoins,I see no reason to become less sceptical
about their usage.
If they are to be used between companies,institutions etc. then I'm sure
there's a niche which they seem to have found.
Used by the general public who in the main do not deal in stocks and shares,in
my opinion,never.
I watched an on-line latest price site showing the price rising and falling around
the $740.00 U.S. mark.
Is a buyer going to pay for £20-£200/$20-$200 or €20-€200 worth of Lego in 0.?????????
- 2.????????? bitcoins ( or whatever a partial bitcoin will be known as ),I don't
think so.
However there's no reason why it shouldn't be an option if admin want
to give sellers a choice,but I see little return for the time taken to adjust
splash and store term pages.
The no charge back possibility of this type of transaction must have it's
appeal to the seller to protect from the scam buyers but it then takes the perceived
safety away from the buyer protecting them from scam sellers,I know which one
buyers will prefer. Bitcoin purchases are also irreversible,you cannot change

This is a very ignorant comment. I think bitcoin payments could work very well
with bitcoin. Wake up and smell the coffee.

I would accept coffee as a payment. But that has little to do with Bitcoin.

M

Joking aside,I know little about this form of transaction only heard of numerous
concerns about their safety.
I heard India suspended their use,I may be wrong,over concerns of possible misuse.
Wasn't there alledged organised crime involvement in their usage as exposed
by the American authorities?
These included money laundering worries,on-line theft and others.
I think the general public,I'm included in this,doesn't understand it
and would have concerns as to whether governments and financial institutions
will react favourably in the long run.
Are they not subject to exchange rates also? Is their value artificially high
at the moment as were some shares in "on-line companies" of the past.

Most of this is FUD. Drug barons and money launderers currency of choice is US
dollar bills. Sure bitcoins can be used for illicit transactions just like cash
can. Email can be used to send child pornography but you don't hear of people
wanting to shut down email (although you did in the very early days of the Internet).
Bitcoin is a disruptive technology and it is gaining ground because it has great
benefits. It's digital cash. As mentioned elsewhere if you use a service
like BitPay the price of bitcoin is transparent to you as a merchant. You're
just adding another option for the customer. See this article about the take-up
of BitPay http://www.coindesk.com/merchants-love-bitcoin-bitpay-100-million-reasons-prove/

I've no doubt that most of the worrying headlines we will see are scare mongering
as is the usual.
However I know that if I mention Bitpay or bitcoins to a group of people,most
will not know what I'm talking about.
It's quite clear that I know of this form of payment but not how it works.
This,I will have to look up and teach myself,I've no idea how I get these
bitcoins or how i use them.
Sadly I'm not happy using most forms of Internet banking,too many clever
