It's a global problem it appears, the midday update seemed to not help anything,
hence why admin hasn't commented as most likely they have no fix currently.
We are all in the same boat.

So I was using Bricklink to sell off spare LEGO to make a little money on the
side but am going back to work soon so won't have time for it.

Have just finished a full stock take so all quantities are checked and verified
plus all prices have been adjusted to current lowest in UK in most cases.

There are about 90k parts with about 98% new condition and the used ones are
all what others would list as 'new'

I am wanting to sell the whole store including stock and the presence here on
bricklink so the buyer can consolidate stores and get the 2k+ feedback boost
from merging stores.

This is a viable store on its own and you can see from my current feedback that
it's taking lots of orders so you could buy it as a starter store or to add
to an existing store you have.

There has been a lot of time put in to organising and updating inventory so I
think a quick sale at 1/3 current store inventory value is a fair deal. and
i will include stock, store and storage (large wilko drawer units) plus a ton
of new gripseal baggies.

I've put a fraction as the price rather than a number as that will change
as orders are taken and fulfilled.

Any serious interested parties please get in touch as I'm asking other people
direct about this and don't see it taking long to shift at almost 70% off

thanks

It's correct, you cannot pass on feedback when a store is sold, you are only
selling stores stock, nothing else.

Hope you find a buyer.

In Selling, Sheffbricks writes:

Thanks MrPetovan.

I looked and couldn't find anything stating it wasn't allowed and the
topic on merging accounts talks of merging feedback so I read that as it is possible.

Is there a way to tag an admin in this ye olde style forum to get a ruling on
it as searching doesn't yield much fruit?

If it is against the rules, and I can be shown this in black and white, then
I'm more than happy to just sell the store stock on here and then close down
the account afterwards.

thanks
Dita

In Selling, MrPetovan writes:

I don't think you can sell your account with the associated feedback.

You can still sell your whole inventory as a custom item for a fixed price or
on the forum if you're open to negotiations, but the feedbacks are yours
and yours only, I believe.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Avast so I don't know how to silence

antivirus software on Windows, Windows 10 already has Windows Defender that does
the same job, and layering antivirus software is never a good idea.

So my suggestion would be to uninstall Avast but it really is up to you.

Just thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience in : buying, selling

These are extremely heavy and not sure I'll need them in Cornwall, hoping

Also have a large vintage farmhouse table that I might part with too, all would
be collection only.

I've really no idea what to ask for them and I'll probably have to sell
via eBay if I can't find a buyer myself, might advertise at work if I can
value them.

Checked online but didn't help much as I can't find anything similar.

I know it's unlikely that anyone can help but worth a try.

Thanks for any help.

It such a slight difference from the light yellow...

"Bright light yellow" and "light yellow" are two different colors; the pieces
you have circled look to be bright light yellow according to the chart you have.
The pieces you aren't sure of look to be just light yellow.

Not all sellers separate parts with variations like these, might they have added

I do but when I'm buying I like to check that the seller has at least two

a thought.

Hi,

I recently ordered 6 x

But I believe I received 6 x

48729b Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Cut Edges and Hole on Side
Parts: Bar {Dark Bluish Gray}

However I've never seen an original 48729 part before and I couldn't
find a side-by-side comparison picture so I'd like to be sure before asking
for a reship/refund.

Please find attached the picture of the parts I received, half of them are flipped
but they all look the same on both sides. They were listed as New which tells
me there's a good chance they are 48729b but I'd prefer having a second
opinion.

Thanks in advance!

48729b has a hole on one side, 48729 does not. So you received 48729b.

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!

We've never truly made a complete switch.

Re: Feature Suggestion: Imperial/Metric Units

Suggestions

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?

You can find early bricks without Lego logo on the studs but not often seen these

The long side fill gate was used on a few odd moulds, usually test moulds I believe.

If LEGO is not on the studs, then it is not a LEGO. I have never seen a part

As stated in other posts, the fact that the fill gate is on the long side of
the part is another sure sign that this is not LEGO.
