I have enjoyed Lego most of my life, but it seems that Lego seems to want to
make me give up on them. I have had to increase shipping rates and add a processing
fee to offset the increasing fees. The addition of the VAT taxes has made it
nearly impossible to make money on Bricklink. It increases the final sale which
in turn, increases the fees that both Bricklink and PayPal take from you. You
have to notice the huge decrease in stores and customers. What is everyone else's
thoughts on this?

Not really seeing a suggestion here to vote on. Switched topics to what I though
would do best.

btw, great username! Care to share with the others? https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1231631

PayPal offers gift cards. Many sellers here accept PayPal, so that would be
an option.

Bricklink tried that once years ago. A lot of people didn't like it, so
it didn't last long. You can always check retail prices on Brickset.

Why does bricklink show this? A simple IF statement could be used to only show
a discount when it is possible for a buyer to achieve. Then it doesn't make
the store look stupid by offering discounts that a buyer cannot possibly take
advantage of.

The older version of Bricklink used to do this automatically. It's a bug
that they've never fixed.

David

Yeah, I thought it used to work correctly but couldn't really remember. It
is difficult to tell whether something automatically disappeared or the seller
removed a discount.

Yeah, what's up with that? I thought all feedback (positive, negative and

Hi there.
Maybe one of the modulex experts here knows how many colours this brick have?
I have 14 colours and I know that I'm missing at list 4: mx medium blue,
mx violet, mx pink-red & mx light bluish grey.
Is there more colours I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance,
Yoav

There are two different M logo bricks, the old ones and the newer ones.

There are even a few very rare colors found, like dark red and a bluish green.

See picture for the standard colors, row one are the LEGO logo bricks, the middle
are the old M logo bricks etc.

Transparent M logo may not exist, I am still hoping to find one.

2. white, light gray, black, terracotta, buff, red , orange, lemon, pastel green,
pastel blue, pink

3. Light bluish gray, charcoal, light orange, light yellow, medium blue, aqua
green, pink, violet

I use my tablet to pull orders and its meh, could be better, but I've used
my phone to check prices or sell rates when in a store sometimes and its awful.

I end up just doing "lego" + "set number" + "bricklink" in google to just skip
straight to the entry. It's faster to do it that way then through the BL
site, on my old phone at least.

It depends what you are buying. If just minifigures, then a normal to larger
smart phone screen would be fine if there was a decent interface. Similarly,
if buying from an already set up wants list, a smaller screen is fine.

It seems that I don't have a choice of what I offer for PayPal payments,
even though BL says I have a choice between onsite and offsite.

So...if someone switched to Onsite Paypal, it sounds like that's been shut
down to force users to sign up for Marketplace. If you have Instant Checkout,
I'm assuming the same applies. For Non-Broken Paypal, they probably shut
off the ability to add it to your store as an option if it's not already
there. But I just placed several orders last weekend, and all of them were offering
Actually-Works Paypal as a payment option. And of course, since that's what
I selected for all of them, all I had to do was log onto that site that didn't
grind to a halt after being hacked...twice, type in some payment info, and wait
for the shipments to arrive.
