I've seen one and only one instagram comment where I posted the price guide
image next to a rare figure part and someone commented "rip off".
Just because they see it as a toy and not a commodity doesn't mean they're
right.
|
Yeah. It's funny how lego is just a kids' toy when someone wants something
cheap, but it's a valuable collectable when it is in their hands.
If they want a palantir for their LOTR collection, they can buy a 20c Zamor sphere
in red and yellow instead of a black and lime one. It's just a toy, after
all.
|
Exactly! And thanks! Despite having nearly 400 lotr minifigs in the personal
collection, I had no idea the palantir part was so expensive. I've never
encountered it, probably a reason. haha

No, this is not a bug. Once you have marked the status of an order as "shipped"
you or the buyer can change it to complete. However, when a buyer changes the
status to "received", only they can mark the order complete, due to the system
giving control over the status of an order to them.
Hope this helps,

| Hello,
I am looking for a custom kit. It's the 35 pieces mentioned in Shawn Kenney's
Cool Creations in 35 Pieces book. If anyone is willing to put together and sell
or point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Ps. I'm not a brick expert looking for my 6 year old son who loves to build.
Thanks!

I can understand your frustration sorting thru and having to take extra time
to determine non LEGO parts, but what good would it do to know where it came
from? LEGO knows what is out there and have a very expensive and very knowledgeable
legal team out there to tilt at windmills. Don't obsess over these things
just put them aside and go on.

Yes, I sell used items only. Under the margin regulation. Just don't enter
your VAT ID on BrickLink otherwise VAT is charged where it should not.
|
but in email from bricklink is written:
Once registered for VAT, you will need to enter a valid VAT and/or OSS registration
number in your Store Settings page within the Management tab and enable VAT in
your settings.

| | I'm part of several non-BL Lego groups such as some of the FaceBook AFOL
groups plus some groups that are local to me (in the UK). I've noticed that
there is a range of opinions on people who sell / resell Lego and that (strangely,
IMO) some opinions can be vehemently negative. This can range from the odd comment
about how resellers are missing the "point" of Lego (i.e. it's a toy, it
shouldn't be resold for profit) to some downright nasty comments about me
being a "scalping scumbag" and that I'm "ruining the hobby, driving up prices,
taking food out of children's mouths" etc (not kidding about that last one!)
Tbh I'm never that bothered about any negativity as I'm sure you get
it everywhere, but I do think it's strange in that I guess people just misunderstand
how the market works. I can only set my own prices and not the general market
value, so if I overprice my Lego it won't sell, and if I underprice it then
I wouldn't make any money so there would be less Lego available (as I'd
be out of the market).
I guess Lego does retain it's value well when resold so maybe people are
angry about this, but I don't know of any resellers that are raking it in
at other people's expenses. In fact for the hours we put in I'd say we
generally don't get paid all that well. Especially when I put in extra time
for customer service (making sure we're good/very good at all aspects of
what we do, it takes extra time for which we don't actually get paid).
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this sort of negativity and accusation
that we're all driving up prices and making Lego unaffordable for most people
(I'd actually argue the opposite is the case as we provide an alternative
to buying from Lego themselves who would basically have a monopoly if resellers
didn't exist!)
|
People who have a problem with lego parts being sold separately just need to
see a doctor. I would read such opinions only for amusement purposes  It must
be more about some other problem they're dealing with (maybe Lego being expensive
in general, or the short shelf life of sets in stores), because it can't
seriously be 'that'.

Profit is exploitation. Profit means taking more than it has cost you. By definition
that is exploitation, consient deliberate exploitation. Letting someone else
pay more than it has cost you. On purpose. And getting away with it. We have
made it legal. Amazing.
|
How much did your cost you? And would you sell it for that?
|
Thx for the advertisement . But no, there is no profit on this (yet) because
it has not been sold/bought (yet). It's just waiting for a collector who
has made a enough profit elsewhere and therefore with enough money to spend .
That is how it all works isn't it?
|
I didn't say there was profit. I asked if you would exchange it for the amount
you actually paid for it.
| | | |
Why would anyone selling anything charge only what that item cost them? If they
only charge what it cost them, they are working for free and taking the risk
of having unsold stock. There is then no point in buying anything to sell, hence
there would be nothing for anyone to buy.
|
Exactly. Without profit no progress. However the discussion is about profit made
on toys, and profit is legal, so... the question is then how much profit is acceptable?
|
The acceptable amount of profit is the amount a buyer is willing to pay minus
the amount the seller paid, including all their costs. It is up to the seller
to judge whether that is likely to be enough to decide to invest in the widget
they are going to try to sell on.
|
So, there is no limit to the amount of profit? 10% or 1000% or even more, as
long as there is a buyer willing to pay?
|
Exactly. The profit need not be constant either. If I buy something for 50 and
you 99, and a buyer is willing to pay 100, then I'll make significantly more
profit than you. The profit does it depend only on what the buyer is willing
to pay, cost price is important too. So the buyer doesn't know what the profit
is. Someone else could have bought in at 110, and made a loss if they sell. The
buyer doesn't know.
As to the limits on the percentage profit, it depends how you decide to calculate
it. If you base it on your cost price, there is no upper limit. If you base it
on your sales price, the upper limit is 100%.
