Once there is another "lot" listing, I don't think that you can combine them
(I couldn't find anything). I know when you part a set out you can use that
if it finds an existing lot to combine them together, but you'll have to
track the parts at that time which for me was just as annoying.
What I've done is part the set out to the stock room and then when I'm
ready to move everything to my inventory, promote it all at once. This creates
duplicates, but if you use your inventory menu, search for "non-unique" items
and you will see only the duplicates. You can then manually add the lots together
and delete the dups. It's still kind of annoying, but at least you can clean
up your lots.

| | Hi everyone,
This is my first post on here, so apologies if I get the format wrong.
I recently won a large lot of loose Lego at auction, (for too much money), and
have been working my way sorting through it all.
What hooked me was that it came with 30+ instruction sheets, all from the late
80's and early 90's, plus the box for 6542 Launch and Load and 6286 Pirate
Schooner.
Having now spent a couple of surprisingly enjoyable weeks cleaning and picking
out bits, I have 21 near complete sets (minus any Minifigures), but also normally
missing a couple of special pieces.
My question is - What should I do with it now?!
should I (A) looking to buy all of the missing parts (currently 215, inc. minifigs
across 21 sets) to complete the set and sell as 100% complete.
Overall it seems that I need to spend 25-35% of the set selling price to complete.
Or (B) part out and save myself the time of buying the parts to sell them on?
Part of me feels that it would be nice to complete them, but it will also take
a lot longer to get things up and running.
Note - given their age there are also a fair few discoloured parts which I would
want to de-yellow before selling.
All lot of the left over basic part will just join my son's collection.
Any advice would be great.

I'm currently putting together some sets which need a few parts to complete.
Going by the instructions, you have a few nice ones.
You've obviously already checked the prices and weighed up your profit margin
but are those percentages of your intial cost or the selling price?
It's also worth checking how often the sets sell. In my case, that's
just in the UK for now.
Consider whether you want to sell them quickly or if you're happy to sit
on them for longer to get a better price. If you check your sets that other sellers
have in their stores, you can see when they listed them. Ebay, Gumtree, Facebook,
etc. is better for a quick sale but normally at a lower price.
I know some sellers use Ebay for complete sets and their BL store for parts.
I do when the selling fees are £1.
For example, one of my sets has only sold once on here in the UK in the last
6 months but I've seen it go several times on Ebay for what I consider good
prices.
I've freshened-up some yellowed parts, but as many people will tell you,
they discolour again and sometimes quickly, so I won't sell them. Also, even
though older sets/parts would be expected to show signs of wear, everyone has
a different idea of what's acceptable.
That's just my way of thinking but I hope it's of some help.

25-35% seems a bit high to me. I don't have a good rule of thumb because
I hardly sell any sets, but it just seems high. Are there any sets where the
cost needed to complete is a bit lower than that? Maybe focus on completing those
together with the sets for which you have boxes.

We sold some used trans-neon bricks 1x1 and the buyer is saying that they are
not trans-neon orange because they do not glow under black light.
Unless we're mistaken, the new trans-neon orange does not glow under black
light, are we wrong here? I remember the bricks as I listed them not too long
ago and I had compared the color to trans-neon orange we had from brand new sets
parted out and to some trans-orange again from parted out brand new lego sets
and the color was not trans-orange, it had the reddish tinge that the trans-neon
orange has but it's not 'milky' like the old trans-neon orange.
Are we mistaken? If we are we will correct our assumptions but we seem to recall
seeing a discussion about trans-neon orange but can't find it at the moment.

I think it's probably your mistake, for two reasons. First, 3005 1x1 bricks
have only been produced once in Trans-Neon Orange, in 2005 for set 7258, which
only had ONE copy. So the piece is very rare, whereas 3005 in Trans-Orange has
been in over 60 sets and is currently in production. Additionally, since 3005
in Trans-Neon Orange is only from 2005, which was before the transition to the
newer, redder Trans-Neon Orange color, it's very likely that the part only
exists in the older, milkier version of Trans-Neon Orange. If you think you found
redder ones, they're probably actually Trans-Orange, which also has an older/newer
shade difference with some looking more red than others.
Second, I've been cataloging 500,000 used parts over the last 6 months, and
I've been separating the newer and older shades of Trans-Neon Orange. I've
looked at them all under a blacklight, and they ALL fluoresce. The older shade
fluoresces more brightly, but the newer redder ones definitely fluoresce as well.
Every. Single. One. Whereas Trans-Orange never fluoresces, ever.
|
I posted recently that I found out some of my Trans-Orange candle flame parts
fluoresce under black light. . This part is not supposed to exist
in Trans-Neon Orange.
| |
With how much detail-work I've been doing with colors recently, I could probably
definitely identify which color they are from a high-quality non-blacklight picture
if you can obtain one.
|
|
Weird! I'd be very interested in seeing a comparison picture of that part
next to Trans-Neon Orange parts under a blacklight. I've personally never
found a non-neon part that fluoresces, but I know they definitely exist, and
I've seen pictures of Old Dark Red fluorescing as well as comments from other
users on other colors.
On the flip side, though, I've never seen evidence of actual Neon parts NOT
fluorescing, and I'll remain skeptical without photo evidence of it.

it may look the same on the image).

With how much detail-work I've been doing with colors recently, I could probably
definitely identify which color they are from a high-quality non-blacklight picture
if you can obtain one.

I think it's probably your mistake, for two reasons. First, 3005 1x1 bricks
have only been produced once in Trans-Neon Orange, in 2005 for set 7258, which
only had ONE copy. So the piece is very rare, whereas 3005 in Trans-Orange has
been in over 60 sets and is currently in production. Additionally, since 3005
in Trans-Neon Orange is only from 2005, which was before the transition to the
newer, redder Trans-Neon Orange color, it's very likely that the part only
exists in the older, milkier version of Trans-Neon Orange. If you think you found
redder ones, they're probably actually Trans-Orange, which also has an older/newer
shade difference with some looking more red than others.
Second, I've been cataloging 500,000 used parts over the last 6 months, and
I've been separating the newer and older shades of Trans-Neon Orange. I've
looked at them all under a blacklight, and they ALL fluoresce. The older shade
fluoresces more brightly, but the newer redder ones definitely fluoresce as well.
Every. Single. One. Whereas Trans-Orange never fluoresces, ever.

I posted recently that I found out some of my Trans-Orange candle flame parts
fluoresce under black light. . This part is not supposed to exist
in Trans-Neon Orange.

Those are just variations of Trans-Purple like there are slight variations for
almost all colors. Trans-Light Purple is very obvious:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15018302947/
The lightsaber blade was the only System part ever made in that color. Besides
that, it was a Clikits exclusive.

Yes, we are aware, but none of the current admin team were admins when this problem

This set was produced after LEGO had adjusted their color palette, it is not
exactly uncommon for a mixture of new and old greys to be found in the same set
in this era. LEGO never threw anything away, so they used their remaining inventory.
The inventory will probably need to be adjusted, or at the very least a footnote.
There are other sets from the same time that are missing the same clarification.

Some sets have numbered bags. Some have clear bags. When clear bags are used,
LEGO can fiddle with how parts are bagged at the factory, so the ability to predict
that is not available.

not all parts/colours belong to a set or are catalogued on the Lego site indefinitely
The situation is then made worse by Bricklink not using Offical Lego colour names/references
which means people can translate them to the Bricklink site and colour palette
incorrectly and so although the part also shows up on BL in Pearl Light Gray
it may be that it only exists in Flat Silver or as Lego call it Silver Metalic.
This is another important reason why using Legos offical colour names should
take precedence over using colour names just because we like the sound of them

In the first link you essentially have 3 different colours and they are described
correctly by TLG?
The fact that some of these are slightly different shades I’m sure you are also
aware is common with many other colours too such as Pearl Gold and Yellow though
we don’t separate those or give them their own name either?
If people feel the need to separate those shades even though their tone can vary
to the point that its non conclusive then the comments can always be used saying
Darker/lighter than usual or if it’s a really old colour from a time before Lego
named their colours then I see no issue with Bricklink keeping its own colour
names for those but to purposely use different colour names for the bulk of colours
when TLG have already provided a name for them will always create ambiguity between
different users interpretation of how that matches to bricklinks description
of colours which is detrimental to the accuracy of the catalog? The name of a
colour is like a part number if it does'nt match exactly then you are always
going to run into problems with people guessing or making their own judgments
about what best fits the colour name given by BL?

Yes, this part comes in two different colors of transparent purple. One of them

Unless someone has already done it, then you will have to follow the manual part

The situation is then made worse by Bricklink not using Offical Lego colour names/references
which means people can translate them to the Bricklink site and colour palette
incorrectly and so although the part also shows up on BL in Pearl Light Gray
it may be that it only exists in Flat Silver or as Lego call it Silver Metalic.
This is another important reason why using Legos offical colour names should

In this page you can find the LXF file of the set someone made:
https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/41226-key-topic-official-lego-sets-made-in-ldd/&page=102
You can import it to Stud.io and separate the ships there, then import the file
to a wanted list. It should then be easier to check if everything is correct
against instructions.

Yes! Almost every day there is a post from a seller that does not read the forum
and is confused why they can't ship to some state. A simple email explaining
the tax situation to all sellers would suffice; there does not need to be a new

Sometimes, it’s also due to wrong inventories (colour not yet recognized…) that
were changed after the sellers put their parts in their stores.

The issue of Catalog name-standardisation is one that the Catmins have been working

This is an issue that comes up often. International standardization that appeases
everyone is not feasible without cluttering the catalogue with every possible
synonym people could potentially search for. That is not to say the entries are
perfect as they are, but it isn't a burning issue. Learn to search by part
numbers and use set inventories to find parts in the catalogue, it's a lot
easier.

live in Holland myself, and US sales tax shows on US invoices but not on e.g.
UK invoices.
Macro tag for Final Total would be highly appreciated.
Regards Peter.

Please do not request any category changes right now. They will not be approved.
We'll open a forum thread three weeks from today for our next movement of
parts that will happen in April. Mention any category changes you want to see
in that thread.

| | Hello,
I was looking through some BrickLink categories and came to 'cylinder'.
In there I found piece 44358 and its counterpart. Together these form a sphere
and don't resemble a cylinder in any way. Does anyone have an explanation
for this, or is it worth me putting in a category change request?
Thanks in advance,

Cylinder - For relatively large tubes and spheres and the parts that
form these shapes.
I guess a sphere is a cylinder?

| Hello,
I have done some research in the catalog about the difference between a ball
socket and a ball receptacle. The results for both a receptacle and a socket
were different yet had the same common element. I will put in some requests to
tweak some of these items to create a clearer common title between these parts.
Regarding your question about alternate searches, I am not aware of any ways
to do this, however it would be a great addition to searching experience. To
be honest, I think this is more of a communication problem between the people
who have named these items.
Kind Regards,

I was looking up ball socket, trying to find a part with no success.
When I did finally find the part I was looking for it was listed as having a
ball receptacle rather than socket.
Can these bricks have alternate search terms so that a search for Ball socket
will also turn up ball receptacle and vice versa?
Failing that, standardisation so that if we find the right term we'll actually
get all the matching parts.

Sorry, won't work, has been asked before, admin don't want to. To easy
then to bypass BL and make purchases directly.

Yeah, it's suggested from time to time. I like the idea as an option for
sellers, and not a default setting.
I don't know about the reasoning though. Other, arguably more guarded sites,
have the option to view vendors by distance from user. Without checking, I believe
eBay still does?

I just want to save on shipping, not avoid BrickLink... too bad..
|
You could always message the seller and ask them what city they are located in.
|
I've had my share of those potential buyers over the years. Sometimes after
a purchase or two and they know how closely located we are, I'll get the
in person request.
