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

Today, it's over 90% of the world's production. And to be even more specific
in displaying the irony, the production is in the Wuhan area of China, where
the current Corona virus pandemic originated.

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
yet taken, and the obvious consequences of all these (like inflation, devaluation,

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

Thank you,

returned to the site.

We're delighted he has decided to come back, and I know many of you missed
him as well. He has many ambitious plans for the catalog, and now that we have
more staff on board, it's looking as though we can start making some serious
headway.

So please join me in welcoming him.

You can see his familiar profile in line

If a buyer orders an item incorrectly listed as Dark Nougat, then the seller
has no leg to stand on

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
it, no more, no less.

So far I've sold two lots - one common larger lot of 8xC bricks priced high,

I didn't only get bricks - I got minifigures, cases, parts.

That's always the problem with special bricks, rarely is there something
to compare them with to make a judgement.

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
pick out other than the waxy looking bricks are those UK sideways logo bricks.

Samsonite of North America produced these sideways logo bricks too but the mould
markings, studs, logo style, spruce position are different as are the colours
