Bad practice and not normal.

We all find that for some inexplicable reason a part is missing on occasions
but I for one always inform the buyer and try to source from someone else so
I don’t let anyone down.

I offer to cancel if they prefer or ask for a few days to source the missing
part/s at my expense.

Most buyers are happy to wait a few days so that the order is complete, they
don’t have to order from another seller and incur extra costs.

  The seller does not have all the pieces I bought so they ship the package without
telling me and after it is gone they let me know and refund the pieces.
It didn't show as shipped or even packed so I asked that they cancel the
order within 4 minutes of being told and I get told sorry it is already shipped
and if I want to cancel to just reject it and when they get it back I will get
a refund.
Well it is on the other side of the world so that would be well over a month.
What a bad way to do business

  Rounded up a couple of parts that I can't seem to find. Really curious about
the black part with 4 2x2 plates hinged together, logo on the studs. Some of
the rest not Lego for sure but tossed them in when I still bother you for help
once again. The post "feels" Lego but can't find it, the gear-piece as well
but can't locate it.

Hope you don’t mind me asking.

Was this a newer buyer or an established one ?

  A buyer orders an order £25. 3 months later complaints 2 small items £3.50 each
item is missing. I can supply 2 more items but I know 100% they were in the order.
If I don’t re issue the parts the buyer demands a full order refund, and then
my 100% feedback will be ruined. What do I do ?? I have put the buyer on my stop
list.

It is indeed Lego, and quite uncommon, but does not belong to any particular

Many aren’t true sales but there are genuine examples.

I hate all these false ones but I don’t think it’s really possible to do anything
about it and I don’t think anyone should try.

Everyone is free to price things at whatever price and therefore free to discount
as they like, it’s a free market

I do have on-site payment.

So Lawrence at brickowl was able to deal with this and set it up so brickowl
takes the VAT required from sales and pays it to the relevant tax authorities
(just like Ebay, Etsy, displate, cgtrader) and I`m sure most other online sales

I really want to rant about this, but what's the point. My trade has been
moving from BL to BO more over the past year anyway.

Still odd that this brick isn't in the Modified category...

It went unseen?
Or it’s (or was) considered a standard brick?

BTW, what’s the use of the hole?  To pass a string through?

They are absolutely everywhere here too, street market stalls, numerous sellers
at carboot sales and more.

You need to check every minifigure that you find, in detail.

  I went to my local flea market this week end and there is a new Lego knockoff
store now. Beautiful Mini figures mostly. After 10 minutes of my 5 kids shopping
and gathering $20 worth of stuff I noticed no "Lego" on anything or anywhere
in the store. Kind of made me mad so I asked the woman behind the counter about
it and was told they were not allowed by owner to mention the "L word" and they
had several stores and got most of the figures from China. The first 10 minutes
I was there she made no attempt to correct anyone that said Lego. She saw I was
upset and said "Mister I'm just trying to work and support my two kids".
I can't argue with that but am still mad after two days.

Found some deadly ones in the past and am never tempted to eat any of them I
find, too dangerous .

Just my luck to choose a destroying angel.

However I have eaten wild field mushrooms picked for me, enjoyed those and tried
a young puffball of a good size, not a fan.

I love puffballs, have you baked them or eaten fresh?

But yes, mushrooms can be tricky be safe.

Plans to move to Cornwall in the U.K. if it works out, can’t find much of interest
left in my price range, don’t want and probably can’t get a mortgage at my age.

Everyone and his dog is moving there at the moment, buying second homes or buying
to let, grabbing everything within hours of them being listed.

correct me on that one.

We have found that Lego has used many different size moulds over the years for
both test and production bricks.

  Did other companies have a similar test mould of only a four at a time print?
I only know of Bayer and BASF...

  It wasn’t a production mould, it was only meant for test bricks.

The workforce decided to make marbled bricks and when Lego found out they withdrew
the mould from the test company.

Not all we’re marbled, some came in single colours.

I lose track but they do exist individually in both red and yellow.

Sorry I can’t help with an order at present.

The exceptional items like the one I used for my store photo do sell for very
high prices, the main interest in something like this is from 2 x 4 3001/3001old
collectors although this is neither as it’s from the classic range, known as
slotted bricks.

The standard ones will be from Denmark and North America ( Samsonite ).

Not sure for those with hollow studs ( hollow underneath )

The slotted I believe are from Sweden, Norway and Denmark
