If you wanted to list it now, you would have to list it as incomplete since what
you have doesn't match the BrickLink inventory. You could suggest changes
with your parts listed as alternates. The printed tiles are definitely interesting
as I don't know where else you would have gotten them - they are not "known"
to have come with any set.

[P=3068bp23]
Alternately you could acquire the parts needed to complete the set - doesn't
sound like anything rare or expensive.

Stickered version of the title is cataloged in light gray

And in 1988 was lego still licensing independent manufacturers? There certainly
wasnt as much consistency as there is now, and bricklink wasnt as thorough in
documenting variations that could appear in sealed sets.

| | I have a question for you all…
I’m inventorying set 6394 – Metro Park & Service Tower. I purchased this set
new, built it once and had it on display for years. I eventually bagged it up
whole when I had to move. Now that I’m inventorying it I’m finding that:
• Two of the hoses were listed as White when they were Light Gray in mine
• The 2348b is Trans-Light Blue when the one in my set is Trans-Clear
• Parts 3068bp22 and 3068bp23 are listed a White while mine are Light Gray
• The flowers are randomly off by color. I have Blue but no Blue are listed
Should I worry about this when listing this as complete? Should I suggest changes
to the inventory of this set? Should I just stop worrying and go to bed? 😊
Thanks,
-Dwight

List it as incomplete with the details you provided here. It's possible those
were the original parts, but more likely it was played with, parts were switched
from other sets. No the inventory won't be updated based on a model that
was on display for years, packed, moved, unpacked and then checked.

| | I ordered 3 items and 1 of them could not be fulfilled but I was taxed for all
3. I got a refund for the item that could not be sent but I didn’t see any refund
for the tax on the item. The seller says taxes are taken by Bricklink. Can anyone
tell me how Bricklink refunds the tax money?

The page for sellers to issue a refund was programmed wrong. I submitted a bug
report months ago, but had a refund earlier this week and noticed it still hasn't
been fixed.
There is an input field labeled "Refund amount Buyer will receive"
However the number the seller enters there isn't the amount the buyer will
receive. Bricklink removes taxes from that amount and the buyer receives the
difference.
There are two display fields that show the split between tax and refund, and
so the seller has to keep guessing/adjusting the amount entered until the numbers
are correct.
However, I don't think many sellers know this. You should contact your seller
and ask them to make another refund to you. Tell them the amount of refund you
actually received, and the amount still owing. They will have to guess/adjust
the number they enter on the refund screen for the second refund until the "Estimated
refund amount from Seller and PayPal" display field shows this o/s amount.
Confusing? Yes it's terrible programming.
(Also, the tax rate BL uses for the refund is the overall effective rate for
the entire order. In some states, the tax rate on shipping is different than
the products. So the refund will always be slightly wrong. There is no way for
it to calculate correctly because the refund page doesn't ask whether the
refund is for product or shipping. I mentioned this to Bricklink too, but don't
think they plan to fix it)

| | Hi - Question for the parts experts please.
Are all parts stamped with the Lego brand/number? I am asking because I have
quite a few x346 Bionicle 1x3 tooth parts that I cannot see a stamp on. Does
that mean they are fake or are there some parts that didn't/don't have
visable stamps?
I used my magnifier app to close in and take a pic.
trans purple - no marks
trans dk. blue no marks
trans lt. blue - number on outer edge & Lego imprint inside
yellow - also has number and stamp.
If these are fakes they are damn good ones.....
any help would be great!
thanks!

There are many parts that don't have any logo or number. The moulds change
over time too, so some older parts don't have it but a newer version of the
same part does.
As with all fine artworks, provenance is more important than markings on the
object itself.
You've shipped 12,000 orders... that should qualify you as a parts expert?

Horrible feedback? I really think if they were as horrible as you say, that,
they wouldn't have a 98.5 positive percentage or be one of the top ten stores.

Where do you think 98.5 would rank them among the stores on Bricklink? I would
be willing to bet they are in the bottom 1 percentile of all sellers. Probably
even smaller than that.
Very few buyers are willing to post neutral or negative feedback. Especially
since sellers like this one will give a negative to a buyer for no reason other
than retaliation.
It's a shame that Bricklink chose to highlight this figure because it really
is misleading for buyers.
