In Selling, Skullfyre writes:

So I have questions for all of the sellers here. Firstly I am not a seller here
but have sold online for a very long time, other products, other sites.

Here are my questions:

1 - Do you feel/think sellers should thoroughly clean and sanitize their used
bricks before selling?

I ask this because I haven't bought a ton here yet but I have now received
three shipments that I would consider filthy and I needed to clean. Quite disgusting
when they stink or have visible grime on them.

2 - Would you ever send a shipment of pieces to a buyer built into a large
flat brick?

I ask this because I had just received a shipment and all 400+ pieces were attached
into large bricks. This then took me around two hours to disassemble to see if
everything I ordered was actually there. In my opinion, this method of shipping
isn't acceptable.

Thanks for the feedback and opinions in advance.

Ok, so I was wondering if theres a collectors desire for manufacture error parts.
I know that prints on the wrong colour pieces are deffo desirable but what I
currently have are parts that the plastic either didn't quite fill up the
whole mould or seem to have been melted(?) during the manufacturing process.

Any thoughts or are they just trash?

I dont like asking this but my sales have been none existent for 3 weeks now
. Normally I receive 1 a day / few days . I appreciate I haven’t got a lot of
stock so this amount of orders is fine . But I just find it incredibly strange
I have had nothing . Therefore would someone please just try to buy something
from me and obviously cancel at the end point . I just want to make sure nothing
is screwed up along the way ..

Obviously if you accidentally buy I will refund asap .

Sorry to ask but not sure how I can check myself.

Greetings BrickLink catalog enthusiasts!

You will be pleased to learn that we have just today appointed a new Catalog
Associate - Randyf. Randy has served as an Inventories Administrator for the
last couple years and has done a fantastic job. We feel this promotion, though
it has been long in coming, is very well deserved.

As a reminder to those who are still learning about the BrickLink Community Expert
Program, the Catalog Associate position gives admin privileges over the entire
catalog half of our BrickLink system. After one year's experience, Catalog
Associates are eligible for promotion to full Catalog Admin, which gives them
full privileges on both sides, for both catalog and inventories.

https://www.bricklink.com/memberAdmins.asp

We plan to update the Hall of Fame page very soon. There are several things to
add, including Randy's time serving as Inventory Admin.

Please welcome our new associate!

I believe it has been done before but is this still acceptable if the Lego side
goes through BL ?

I'm talking about a vintage/antique farmhouse table with drawers ( not sure
of age ) and two vintage/antique Lead garden planters ( real Lead not faux ).

All these are heavy and or sizeable, exchange only in U.K. and would have to
be collected.

Effectively the Lego would be sold to me and I pay with these goods rather than
currency.

If it is then anyone interested can contact me and we can try to work something
out, if it isn't then please ignore this message.

So long as one side is a purchase from a store, I think it is allowed. You can
pay in any currency accepted and agreed by a seller, and if they accept furniture
then go for it.

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of ordering from me in the near future, things
may change quickly.

I'm looking to rent to begin with which may prevent me from reopening until
I find a new home, the store may be closed for a long time.

Thank you to all my customers and thanks for all those that have sold me items
so far, also thanks to all those here on the forum that have kept me informed,

showing some words: PAT PEND. The LEGO Marking on the stud is also different.
I asked the seller, the seller told me the piece are new never used.

So are these pieces fake or too old?

Or these seems not item 3063 but is 3063a (Years Released: 1955 - 1956)?

I believe you've done the right thing now, how you run your shop and how
you use the forum in future will show how heartfelt your apology is, best of
luck in the future.

In Announce, mkmbricks writes:

Hello everyone,

We realize that we made a mistake. Truly, we apologize to everyone, especially
to those that would like to retain the integrity of the friendly place these
forums are, and rather than adding to it, we took away from the ambient. We behaved
to confidently, and as we saw, we too had many mistakes. We wrote our message
to add to the community, to warn our fellow buyers and sellers, but in doing
so we took-away. We'd like to apologize for the use of duplicate accounts
- we honestly did not know that we couldn't have multiple accounts, we give
our word on that.

We are a "we". We are several people. We came across Bricklink and decided that
we could cooperate to manage one store, just as we would in real life. But, each
of us also had older accounts on Bricklink that we wanted to use solely for "shopping"
and making wanted lists. This account was designated as a seller's account.

However, we admit that we have committed trouble, and now we understand why there
shouldn't be multiple accounts. Although it did not cross our minds to commit
more treasonous things with these duplicate accounts, no one should be able to
do any of that, so we thank, in some way, that this happened.

As to those that gave us feedback on our store policies and responsibilities,
thank you. We have implemented some already, and we have removed the "All sales
final" and No refunds.

Once again, we are sorry for taking away, for we thought we were contributing
- we believe that we came off the wrong way in our message, and further so when
we, out of anger and impulse, decided to defend ourselves. We promise to do good
by everyone as so our capabilities permit us to do so, and perhaps we will listen
and ask more rather than talk and point.

Everyone, we understand that this apology may not be acceptable to many of you,
but we have no excuses. We made a mistake. We want to make up for it.

Thank you,
MKM Bricks

When I perform a search, say on Millennium Falcon sets, and then click on a set,
the weight and dimensions of the set are in Metric units. I live in the USA,
and have lived in Europe. So, metric is pretty easy for me to convert in my head.
But, for the people on the planet that use the Imperial system, and haven’t had
to use grams, millimeters, etc., metric is just a bunch of gobbley-gook that
required the extra step of converting somehow..

Feature Suggestion: Add a setting in the settings menu that allows the display
of Imperial units instead of metric units.

p.s. May the flees of a thousand camels come to rest in the armpits of all those
who comment with: “Everyone should just convert to metric!”

In a large box of loose LEGO, I came across several light gray pieces that I
can't identify the color of. They are from set 41154 and the only gray listed
in the inventory is LBG. The pieces in question are the 1x1 bricks as well as
the 1x2x5 bricks. For reference, the arch, 1x4, and 2x4 are light bluish gray.
The liftarm is very light bluish gray.

I know there is a variance in the light bluish gray, but this is a pretty dramatic
shade difference. And they ALL have the same shade, every 1x1 and 1x2x5. They
are LEGO pieces as I checked the studs and the logo is present.

Any ideas? Or have I overlooked something simple?

Had some sawn off ones once but they would probably be listed under mini figure

Hello,
I was checking the 853-1 instrunction and I noticed that on the front seat image
there was an 1x5 brick!
So I think there is a mistake in this image.
Has anyone noticed that?

Just sold one of those, looks nothing like its colour classification.

I have another which has been mentioned here before.

x1180 looks nothing like 4740 in the same colour, trans neon Orange.

Hope this post is in the right place.
It's bugged me a while now that the Bionicle eye stalk piece that is included
in 8534, 8540 and 8572 is listed as trans dark pink despite the face that it's
more of a neon red-magenta color. As far as I know there are no other pieces
in this color, so I understand that it would probably be a waste of time to create
a new color just for one piece, but it may cause confusion for some that the
listed color is not actually the color in which the piece comes.

What do you think? Should another, perhaps unique or special color brick level
be set-up, for these rarefied members to attain? https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=54

I know it’s far from an important consideration now, but it is a fun one

Maybe someone can arrange some type of choice-of-color polling or vote, to see
what the next level color brick should be?

I've seen differences in these over the years, both colour and appearance.

Some have looked more transparent than others.

Looking at the flower stems, they seem to be a bit different in form (maybe out
of an earlier mold?) and also in color, which is a bit transish. The left one
on my pic.
Anyone noticed or maybe a color error?

Thanks for help

I need some help about discolored white new parts.

How is it possible that new white parts are not really white any more?
I have part out some brand new sets (straight from the box) some months ago and
I sold some white parts. Now I get the question from the buyer that the parts
are not really white. I have stored the parts in a drawer where there is no sunlight.
How is it possible that the parts are not really white any more? is it a factory
mistake or is it the dark drawer ore what else.
Can any body help me what the problem is.

This must have been discussed before but I don't remember anything and I
can't find any postings.

Sets 501-3 and 042-1 don't have an inventory list for the vehicle although
you can often find the vehicle bases and occasionally the blue 3001oldb blue
brick seperately.

Was there a reason for not separating these components, I know the string could
pose a problem.

The 3001oldb red is listed.

I would love to see an inventory for x1447c01 in the catalog, but I don't
have the parts to add them.

And we also need a catalog entry for the Duplo pull cart with string and brick.

We're considering eliminating separate catalog entries for smooth slopes
for a number of different reasons and are seeking feedback from the community
on the decision. This change would primarily effect the five catalog entries
shown above.

Please share your thoughts.

Hey Bricklink Community,

I am in the middle of getting pieces that I am missing from my Lego sets I have
had since I was a kid. I ordered a bunch of pieces from the Lego Store. 5 pieces
I need are 4 grey pieces and 1 brown. The ones I got from the Lego Store are
not the right color of grey or brown. The grey medium stone grey and brown reddish
brown.

The sets I need the pieces for are from the 90's. On toysperiod.com they
say the pieces that I need are old grey and old brown. As I look through the
stores on this site I'm not sure which color name they fit under. If anyone
can help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
