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!

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.**
”””

Okay, thx. I didn't know that.

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.

Ik doe mee aan de KOR, de omzetgrens ligt dan op 20.000 euro.

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!

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.

  Dear BrickLink Members,

We have released our Distance Selling feature for sellers who plan to or have
reached the EUR annual 10 000 distance sale of goods threshold. To see where
your current BrickLink sales totals are, you can download the order information
here:

https://www.bricklink.com/orderExcel.asp?orderType=received

To turn this feature on, navigate to your Store Settings page and enable distance
selling. You will be asked to enter your One Stop Shop (OSS) number:

https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/oss_en

or foreign VAT registration information and provide valid documentation. Once
enabled, the prices of your items will remain the same on your storefront, however
the VAT rate charged and collected will be changed to match the country’s rate
in which the buyer is located.

This has been implemented to comply with the new EU marketplace regulations.
For more information, please see the European Commission article on this topic
here:

https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/online-sellers_en

You can find additional guidance on the BrickLink EU Marketplace Changes Help
Page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2517

This message will be sent via email to all sellers at the beginning of next week.
Please add any questions about this feature (along with any bug reports) to this
thread.

Thank you,

The BrickLink Team

Bricklink, we really need a response now. It's becoming very awkward for
Bricklink and offensive for the sellers.
Simply tell us: Will the bugs be fixed or will they not be fixed. I need to know
whether I need to register for OSS and modify my software before January 1 or
not. Sellers need to be informed and be able to make a decision.

It is not as if they are on holiday or something...
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1318023

I would think with such an important feature like Distance Selling and it's
deadline, that it would be accompanied by solid explanations and quick bug fixing!

All in all I've reduced my sales on BrickLink during this and the previous
year, with the idea to "sit out" all changes but it seems to go on and on. Are
they really interested?

Anyway, alternatives are popping up and they thrive

  Hi everyone,

as I don't want to create additional bricklink users (is this even allowed)

It was a little bit quiet with new orders recently

Is "Distance Selling" now something that I need to enable (even if I don't
get anywhere near EUR 10.000 per year)?

Thanks!

It seems to work all right. I got to checkout, but did not buy as I don't
need anything.

If you do not get to 10k distance selling you do not need to enable.

  I offer the option for buyers to come over and collect orders at my location.
Recently, a buyer has chosen this method and paid using PayPal. He can't
come over and collect, and refuses to pay the extra shipping cost. So he wants
to cancel the order. Of course with me covering the PayPal fee.
It has been one day since the buyer requested the refund - didn't have time
to respond yet - and now the buyer starts sending me emails just with "???" in
the body. Wonderful! Gives me such a warm feeling.

I'll refund him of course, and I'll take the PayPal fee. And I even will
put up with the "???" mails. Sure, why not. But it's bitter I won't even
be able to leave a negative feedback, as I suspect I will get one too.

It kind of brings me down.

Just curious: why can he select "local pick-up" AND "payment via PayPal"? I mean:
in your shipment settings, how do you allow a buyer be able to choose both?!

Why not? Pickup does not mean you want to walk around with (a lot of) cash in
your pocket. Especially if the goods are of high value I prefer online payment
AND pickup.

  
If a buyer, in Canada or international, wants intentionally pay via PayPal and
pick-up the items, he simply cannot choose these two together at check-out.

Why not? Maybe the buyer can't pickup in person, but has someone else to
do it. It happens now and then.

  
For local pick-up, the only option is "payment in cash or e-transfer (Bank transfer)"

No, the two can't be linked simply for practical reasons as stated above.

This would have saved you the fee.

Hoi,

Koper uit Pensylvania wil een order plaatsen maar krijgt de melding: Seller does
not support orders shipping to Pensylvania.

Ik heb USA in mijn Shipping staan en PayPal als internationale betaalmethode.

Verder Manual invoicing, en alleen EURO.

Wat moet ik wijzigen zodat de order geplaatst kan worden?

Alvast bedankt,

  So I’m looking to track my inventory in an excel spreadsheet and use the API
to keep the brick link inventory in sync.

I’ve got a script that does a few things

1) Create new inventory item
2) Update existing inventory item
3) Update excel quantities from items in bricklink inventory

Item 1) is done
Item 2) confused me as the update inventory merged the quantities from the API
call with what was already in the inventory doubling the total.

So do I need to delete the existing inventory (I have the inventory Id in my
excel sheet) and create another one or is there a bug/limitation with the API?

Item 3) is work in progress.

Any thoughts on item 2)?

Cheers
Carl

In the upload xml version it is needed to specify + or - with the quantity, I
guess for the API version it is the same.

Apparently you did not specify (+ or -) so the system assumed + therefore merged
the quantities.

Good luck!

Yes, its looks little different arms are round not flat.

So it is probably some other brand.

Thx!

  Just realised that the arm part appears round, no flats.

Possible clone.

The waffle plates however were made from different materials(s)

From Gary Istok's collector guide: LEGO waffle bottom and early circle bottom
plates did not seem to have the same problem of warping that befell the other
LEGO elements. This appears to be due to the fact that the LEGO plates of 1955-63
were made of a composite plastic that contained other plastic materials besides
Cellulose Acetate. This appears to have stopped these 2x8, 4x8, 4x8 curved and
6x8 plates from warping. What that other additive to the Cellulose Acetate is,
has not been revealed by LEGO.

The bricks are shiny, esp the red ones. The white bricks seem brighter than typical
ABS white bricks. The 1x2 bricks (both colors) are without the pin under the
bottom.

I pulled a random 2x4 brick out of the bag, and put it under a magnifying glass/lamp.
Of the eight studs, one has the logo upside-down. Several are pitched a few degrees
out of true, but one is rotated 180-deg. I wonder if that's clue that they
are Samsonite bricks.

Some older CA bricks contained Cadmium which made the bricks having a deeper
color. Especially good seen with red bricks. Obviously because Cadmium is toxic
they had to quit using it.

  Maybe bricklink needs to hide a clause in the middle of their terms of service
saying if you link to another site selling LEGO then there is a fee of $200 per
month or part thereof.

That's an idea... instead of forbidding it, make money out of it

  Hey everyone. Just wanted to ask and this is probably not allowed as it will
take fees out of Bricklink but wanted to inquire anyways.
Since I have a 2 figure limit in my Bricklink store due to my figures being the
lowest prices in the USA, Is it allowed to link people to my brickowl store on
our splash page if they want to buy more than 2 figures as we dont have the figure
limit there but have them at way higher prices there for our customers who need
more than 2 figures.

Also please dont bash on the terms of my store. My customers like it and thats
all that matters.

Thanks for all the help!!

Have many other buyers who love my store

Yet another remark showing your ego is playing up with you.

  
  
  
  So, if I'm understanding this correctly, you are inquiring about the correctness
of using BrickLink to drive traffic to your BrickOwl store, where you charge
higher prices.

Do I understand this correctly ?

Nita Rae

A simple “ I don’t think so “ would suffice mate . You need to take a chill pill
with the sassy remarks

And there's another seller added to my least favorite list.

It was not a friendly remark. She was clearly being sarcastic.

Definitely not, it was a clear question to confirm, nothing else. You knew you're
doing something wrong and therefore interpreting this negatively. Take a step
back.

Please, you do no want your terms to be bashed, but here you get a friendly confirmation
response on your question and what do you do????

You clearly need a mirror to look into.
