| Yes and no, I would use this system instead, 0001, 0002 etc etc (so draw 100
will be 0100) That'll work better.

| | Hi all,
My remarks are mixed up every time I pack orders and it's really annoying
so I decided to fix my remarks.
I've been labling my remarks starting at 01, 02, 03, 04 to 010 etc etc 022
etc 045 etc 099 and 0100
Will this fix my remarks so that when I get orders, they will be chronologically
shown?
Am I doing this right?

| I didn't notice that description, it would be better moved to the main listing
under the fig like they normally list additional notes.

| | | | Ok. Good to know! I'm still learning about all things Lego Marvel.

No worries! If you look at this part of a Minifigures description that you can
see in the photo it says if it's been found with multiple head variants.
In addition, there aren't any product listings on bricklink for fake lego
(this is different than if a seller sells fake products which will get them banned)
Also this applies to any Minifigure not just marvel.

My son got me into this and so I got him Deadpool as a present.
|
Exciting! Hopefully he enjoys it!

He doesn't know it yet and I just want to make sure it is Lego and I didn't
get sold a dud. =)

Sounds like a good plan!

| It's genuine Lego but I'm not too sure how it would affect the value.
Technically if sold here on Bricklink it wouldn't be the correct part but
on eBay may be okay. As it is a fairly valuable fig I guess whoever was to buy
would want the correct parts.

| | Thank you for the quick reply.
Do you happen to know if the blocked open type depreciates the value of the Deadpool
minifig and is it still classed as Lego or custom?

I just wanted to ask the community if anyone owns a Lego Deadpool minifig.
I won an eBay bid on one last week and it arrived today.
The feet, torso, and neck all have Lego logo on it, but the head is hollow and

Can someone please confirm that the official Lego version does have Lego written

Thanks in advance.

| The blocked open version comes from the same set that Deadpool comes so looks
like his head might have been mixed up at some point.

If you are visiting the museum and are tired of all the great sets, wooden LEGO,

Why not take a break and go see something nice and quiet 
The 26th I will be there too, if you are going, let me know and I can maybe meet
or leave something nice behind.

| I would leave them all feedback, it might encourage them to leave it back. I
always leave it as soon as I ship, not much point in holding back leaving it.
Normally I wouldn't worry about it as it's common people don't leave
you any but if you want to get your score up a little you could send them a quick
note to ask them (once you've left yours first).

| | Greetings Bricklink,
I am a new store with only 6 orders so far. the last 4 orders I sent out have
all received their parts, but haven't left any feedback. It's been a
few days for most of them and I don't think they are going to leave any.
I have posted in my terms that I will leave feedback if they do. The 4 buyers
were all new, most of them with zero feedback. Should I leave the buyers positive
feedback anyway since they were all perfectly fine and maybe it looks better
for my biz if I do, or should I stick to my terms and not leave any because
I really need their feedback too? You would think if they were trying to get
the feedback to become sellers they would be aware of all this. I also don't
want to look like I forgot to leave feedback. Let me know what you think!
Thanks,
Upstate_Brickz

| | For the last week all of the orders coming in have reverted to small parcel when
they would easily fit in a large letter. We are obviously refunding the customer
for this and losing out on the PayPal fee. This definitely feels like a bricklink
error as I haven't changed anything and it happened suddenly.
We are loosing a fair amount over this and also we will be losing custom due
to the postage being too high. Can bricklink please confirm that this is something
they are working on?

| | Hi,
I'm thinking about selling more used bricks from my private collection in
my shop.
Currently I have 98% new and 2% used parts so it's quite easy for me to organize
by putting all used parts in a separate drawer, no matter what they look like.
Used parts are roughly sorted by type: brick, tile, technic and so on.
I wonder how other sellers organize their new and used lots.
Do you put them in the same parts bin, separated in different bags (new vs. used)
or do you have two separate systems, one with new and one with used parts?
Or something else?
All thoughts welcome!

| | Have you ever wondered which side of the bubble wrap goes toward the item being

Also, do not contact U-line or any other bubble wrap sources and ask for a refund
because 17 bubbles in the roll were popped. Customer service was not very nice

| 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.

| | 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.

I have a question for you. I just bumped today into some sets of Lego Movie 2,
at a 60% discount sale. They are NIB, sealed, but the boxes are slightly damaged.
Would you suggest to part out and sell the parts or to try to sell them as whole
sets?
Is there anyone more experienced who has a good suggestion to give?
