|
| I always assumed the 45 in Slope 45 means 45 degrees, and in Slope 33 it means
33 degrees, however if you calculate the exact degrees based on brick measures
it is not.
A standard 1 x 1 brick measures 7.9375 mm x 9.5250 mm (length/width x height
without the stud).
Building with Slope 45 bricks results in a slope of 50 degrees, not 45.
Building with Slope 33 bricks results in a slope of 31 degrees, not 33.
As is well know, assumptions are the mother of all f*ups, so I most likely assumed
wrong 
Therefore... just curious, where do the 45 and 33 come from?

| | Hi there. I hope everybody is fine. I recently found my old Pokemon English 1st
Edition Dschungel Booster Box. The box is open and only three boosters are missing
the other 33 are all present and still factory fresh sealed. My question is now,
where can I sell those for a good price. Okey a lot will say Ebay, but are there
any other market plattforms in the internet ? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

| | Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is listing both there new and used Lego as used. I
can see a lot of benefit to it and very little reasons why I shouldn't. Just
wondering if anyone has tried it and how it effected sales.
Thanks

Yes, i've done that a long time it works just fine. There is a saying to
support this kind of approach to selling.
Better to underpromise and overperform, that the other way round.
It's all about managing expectations.
Good luck!

Does anyone know what it is?

You can see on the picture that the red brick is a bit higher than the lego bricks,
which I have not seen on old lego bricks.
Also a metallic sound, or a sound as if it was made of glass, is not found in
lego bricks.
IMO it is not lego. My best guess is still ABC Copex.

Look under Settings - Payments - Offsite Payments - Add an offsite payment method

It doesn’t work like that for new sellers:
“““
Offsite payment methods are no longer available for new sellers as of June 8,
2017. However, you may request special permission to enable IBAN during or after
the New Seller Verification process by contacting the Help Desk.
***All new sellers will be required to have at least one onsite payment method
available in their store to receive IBAN permission.**

Well you can buy used stuff with the intention of making profit, but yes, technically
if they are selling off their own collection without a significant profit margin
(basically getting spent money back), then it is ok. I guess it would take a
huge amount of space to have a collection that's good for several years of
€20000+ sales but well, some people have the space.. I just know that I don't
|
Selling your own collection is not seen as income, you can do that only once.
Buying LEGO just to sell it again with the intention to make a profit, that is
income and must be reported. However if the cost of doing so is higher than what
you earn, then not. Obviously you cannot report a loss as income hahaha.

| | Bricklink is a place for selling and buying Lego, that appears to think the part
where you can actually buy stuff properly, as well as the part where you can
actually sell stuff properly, are overrated. I don't think there's any
rationale behind any of it, it's just Bricklink's empty cockpit again.
I think the simple answer is that currently there are no people who have an immediate
interest in a prospering Bricklink. The people who work there simply want job
security, and seem OK with spending their working hours in this stagnant system,
and TLG hasn't really taken the lead yet - on purpose, because they respect
Bricklink and the AFOL community and want to watch it from a distance before
changing anything. Maybe once the new head of Bricklink is properly installed,
the cockpit will, finally after all these years, no longer be empty and we might
see a bit of vision.
For now, I'm also very happy to sell outside of Bricklink. It's just
very annoying that this 10K limit is for your whole business, so having to stay
under it because of Bricklink's mess-ups means you have to do that both on
and off Bricklink, so it's also impacting our business outside of Bricklink.

| | Hi!
I strongly support what others wrote here; we in Europe need to be able to manage
B2B orders.
IOSS or not, but with the legal choice to account VAT or not.
Concerning our shop, those B2B sales represent approx 10 to 15% of our recent
yearly sales.
I guess that it's even higher for bulk/wholesalers - like those in Germany,
Netherlands, Poland, Czech Rep, Hungary, in no specific order - etc.
Also, forgive me if I remind you that B2B may represent *more than a double income*
for BrickLink: you get BrickLink fees when a shop is buying PLUS an higher fee
when the shop is reselling at higher price...
In short: for the sake of all of us, including yours - see above - PLEASE do
consider IOSS (which is mandatory) along with a VAT check box exclusion (or such
feature), which is also mandatory, in case of B2B transactions.
Thank you!
PS: While I'm still reading Forum for now 15 years (yes!), I've voluntarily
been off of it those last years for personal reasons (too few time...)
But now this feature / decision directly concerns us and many others - including
friendly shop owners here (hi !) - it forces me to post again.
Please all of you who remember my zillion posts  please thank you, you wonderful
people - wishing you the best.

Everything that concerns VAT is a mess.
- EU VAT has to be calculated on NET price
- B2B as said (no VAT-id registered on Store Terms Page)
- Price Guide is a mess, within EU it's registered with VAT and outside EU
without VAT, while my sale price is in both cases exactly the same
The first problem shouldn't be there in the first place, because it has been
on the forum 6 months ago, HOW it should be done. And now there are no replies
at all from Bricklink.
I really don't know what to do, I didn't register for OSS yet.
Thinking about removing EU shipping every year when I'm about to reach the
10.000
$$$$$

It all seems quite clear... BrickLink complies with law as far as they absolutely
need to, but that is about it. Sellers position is not interesting, and why should
it? It seems to me TLG is more interested in selling directly from them, then
selling indirectly through BrickLink. The profit resellers make on BrickLink
is a loss for TLG. So... discourage selelrs on BrickLink.
|
Why would this be a loss for TLG? Alle Lego that is sold on Bricklink comes from
TLG.
As I see it, they earn an extra 3% (on a much higher price) for every part they
ever sold from every seller on Bricklink. A lot of parts are even sold several
times. They are also still making profit on parts that they produced in the 50's,
etc. 
|
Profit on direct sales is higher then profit on indirect sales.
It is nonetheless a weird situation that TLG first sells directly to resellers
and then earn 3% fee on sales by those resellers on the SAME item!
Do they count direct sales to resellers as turn-over and profit? Although these
items are not sold to consumers? If TLG would be registered on the NY stock exchange
they would have a major issue on this, because it is not real turn-over or profit.
The items are just lying around with resellers. And TLG owns the OMP those resellers
are active on. Weird.
| |
Imo TLG earns a lot on every single part they produce.
| |
Move away is what it suggest, implicitly.
Well.. there are alternatives.
