| As well as the light suggestion which is really important I'd get yourself
a stack of 2x4 bricks in the old and new greys (light and dark) as well as the
reddish browns and browns. If you stick your bricks together when you want to
compare your light / light bluish grey part putting them to the stack of bricks
really makes it stand out as the new and old colours will stand out next to each
other. I wouldn't be without my stack of 2x4 bricks for double-checking colours.

I sort a decent bit of used lego parts and it is always a struggle for me to

| | Hi
I have this weird case where the buyer ordered from my store and send me his
own shipping label with tracking number. He said he had a better price on his
side. I say ok, no problem.
Order was returned to me because the buyer failed to pick it up at the post office
within 14 days. Of course I have to pay fees on the returned package.
I contacted the buyer a first time to inform him of the returned package and
the fees. He tells me to keep the order and that he will recontact me.
A few days ago I recontacted him again because I'm closing my store temporarily
for the holidays and asked him clearly if he wants me to cancel the order and
refund the money or if he wants me to ship it again, and charge him shipping
and the extra fees.
He said to cancel the order but keep his money. I'm not sure what I should
do, especially since the amount of the order is a few dollars more that the fees
that I had to pay. I don't want to risk any negative feedback or recourse
against me, etc.
Thanks for your advice.

| If it were me I'd part them out as it will be more profitable, unless you
need a fast return on your investment and they are particularly in demand sets
of course. It'll take a lot longer to sell all the parts compared to selling
the whole set but it depends on the store business model you have developed.

| Hi, can anyone help with the diameters of pneumatic hoses, please?
I have a huge amount to list and I have noted some are thinker than the Bricklink
catalog of 4mm. I understand the length can vary as Lego used to supply a 'whole'
length with the user needing to cut to the correct size.
I have some that vary in diameter from 4.3 / 4.4mm and some that are slightly
smaller than 4mm (3.7/3.8). Would this variance be normal for this part?

| | Hello there,
Just a thought everyone.
I’ve just taken a couple of Lego kits out of the washing machine (which if you’re
not into Lego, may sound rather odd!?)
As I lay the bricks out to dry, I needed to separate a few that have randomly
joined together. This made me think of the infinite monkey theorem.
This states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for
an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the
complete works of William Shakespeare.
My thought/question is – if you had a washing machine run an infinite number
of wash cycles, with the same kit, would you, on one occasion find that the bricks
have joined together in the correct order and the kit is correctly built?
For more detail, have a look at this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem
Anyone able to prove the theorem?

LOL, this one made me chuckle 
Ok, so there's this setting in My Store - Settings - Management called
"Show price guide as a summary (pop up)."
When they remade the inventory pages in new code, we had a silly situation where
checking the box would result in having the pop up in the one version, and the
full page in the other version. Unchecking it would do the reverse. I had reported
that long ago.
Seems now they "fixed" it by making *BOTH* pages respond in the wrong way 
:
When you UNcheck the box, you DO get the popup version. When you CHECK the
box, you get the FULL PAGE version.
Let's say that at least it's good to see that Bricklink has been putting
"some" work into it, and that the old and new version of the pages finally respond
the same way...
So the answer to your question is: Uncheck the popup box, and you will get the
popup again

This part is being sold for €.10 to €.20 in LBG and €6 to €8 in LG.

I have a bunch of minifigs of unknown origin/set/year/theme. It would be cool

Trouble is that the category "minifig-torso-assembly-decorated" has 4k items.
There is no option to SORT by COLOR, even this data is in the database of BL.
When not knowing the origin of the item, the basecolor (of body and arms) is
the only thing I know for sure, so I would like to narrow down the list by this,
then look over the pictures until I find which one it is.
Tried this in Brickstore, it also does not allowing sorting this category by
color. Also same in add-brick in rebrickable.

We're considering eliminating separate catalog entries for smooth slopes
for a number of different reasons and are seeking feedback from the community
on the decision. This change would primarily effect the five catalog entries
shown above.
Please share your thoughts.

The color Dark Pink was changed around the same time that the new grays replaced
the old grays in 2004. So there are two true distinct shades of Dark Pink:
LEGO color 22 Medium Reddish Violet (early Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14777415117/
LEGO color 221 Bright Purple (modern Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14988645798/
I don't know if this explains the difference in the color of your parts,
but I thought you should be aware of the history of the color.
Cheers,
Randy

| | Hello everyone,
I have some long-awaited news for you! We have created a new Catalog Admin position
which has privileges on both sides of the system, the catalog and inventories.
This is a culmination of about 3 years of work, and we are so proud of our first
ever member to take this position, Hygrotus.
He has steadily worked his way up to this level from his years of being an outstanding
and reliable contributor, to a special class of contributor known as an Inventories
Verifier, to one year experience as an Inv Admin, and then most recently about
14 months as a Catalog Associate. We are pleased that he has stuck with the program
and now is going to forge ahead.
We are combining the two "halves" of the system for many reasons, but the main
one being efficiency. If only one admin is available on a given weekend, for
example, we can take care of contributions on both sides, which are often dependent
on each other.
We will retain the Catalog Associate and Inv Admin positions for the purpose
of training new Catalog Admins. They will be considered transitory positions.

It happened yesterday, and the color does exist.
Basically, the one and only Trans-Bright Green that was in the catalog up until
yesterday contained two different colors: one that was pre-2010 (lighter and
less saturated) and one that is post-2010 (brighter and more saturated).
Pre-2010 color:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15193963935/
Post-2010 color:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15041232150/
The new color was added to separate out the pre-2010 from the post-2010. All
Clikits pieces that were listed as Trans-Bright Green will be moved to the new
Trans-Light Bright Green as well as some parts that were in DUPLO and Belville
sets.
Cheers,
Randy
P.S. Another color was also added yesterday called "Clikits Lavender" which describes
the lavender-type color used only in the Clikits line.

| I use two axles and a tee part to get these apart and press down onto a solid

them and give up. I'd also check to make sure nothing is damaged afterwards
(apart from the axles which will be bent).

Thanks in advance for assistance. And then probably after, too.

| I say yes to this too, I had my first neutral quite early on and it killed my
100% there and then. It was a positive too and the customer wasn't sure how
to change it. On the flip side it means you don't ever have to worry about
maintaining 100% anymore But yeah feedback I believe has become more and
more dated across platforms. I only ever bother to look at feedback if it's
a significant amount I'm spending.

It’s a valid point made by member agulus, that has unfortunately been ongoing
as an issue, in the face of contrary input towards the feedback policy.
I’ve brought it up in the past, that a neutral should be just that, neutral,
and not effect your feedback percentage number displayed, up or down.
Beyond the obvious reasons, is the fact that there are many newish buyers that
mistakenly see BL’s neutral, as neutral. Silly people Meanwhile, it continues
to result in an amount of havoc in that arena of BrickLink.
I look forward to reading your honest thoughts
