| When I uploaded a .IO file to add to a wanted list, an error message popped up
and said,
The following errors were found in the file:
Part not found in catalog. item No:98613c01
This has never happened to me before when I was uploading a .IO file to a wanted

| I've written this long post thinking that you are also selling the parts
of that Star Wars sets but looking at your store you only sell minifigures...
Anyways, I'm still posting it, general public may find it useful.
Each theme cater to different segment of customers. You should first conceive
the final size of your store to target the different segment of customers. And
what you part out will of course definitely affect the customer segments that
purchase from your store. If you part out cars, you'll attract people that
are building / completing / buying the missing part of a car. Same with a set
that have a building.
Another thing : most of your customers are AFOLs and male, contemporary colors
(coral, dark turquoise etc.) and colors that ascribed to female (various pink,
magenta and stuff) are difficult to sell.
There are three main things you should consider, Color, Form and Quantity/Variety
The customer segments you could conceive are :
1. Reseller : One that has a better bussiness opportunity/setup/coverage/market
to sell higher than you sell.
2. MOC Designer : People that do buy regardless of immediate use. They might
buy for their conceived project, they might buy to complete their current projects
and so on. If they are not full digital then they tend to have already large
stock of Lego so their buying habits may be seasonal.
3. Set collector/builder : Collecting missing/all parts of the sets they want
to build. Main consumption segment for Lego as they would possibly end up displaying
the set they build unlike designers taking apart and reusing it in another place.
4. Figure/Animal collector : Not much to say to describe this segment. For the
minifigures : the main sources are the licensed sets. For animals : Mainly Friends,
City sets.
5. Technic designers : I'll just ignore this segment too for this post.
And in general, selling parts especially on Bricklink seems to be the easiest
to make a few sales but on the long run it's the hardest and the most labour
intensive way to sell Lego. The good thing : You'll more or less will always
appeal to all these main segments even with small quantity of stock because even
with a relatively low piece count set you'll see that you can't always
get all the parts from a single store. And with the variety of parts in Lego
sets you'll always have a few parts that will attract the other customer
segments above.
1. Color
There are colors that sell well, those classic colors mainly (white, black, yellow,
blue, red, green, both grays) but some of these colors have very high utilization
rate and have very low ownership time (kids sets, child grows and the set finds
itself in the used market) so that sell very cheap. (This is not a fact, just
my thinking by the way)
Off all these colors mainly light bluish gray stands out, it seems that every
lego enthusiast needs LBG in some way or another... If you see a set with rich
gray content and with a good part out ratio, go for it.
Then comes the white, black and a certain degree of green for certain parts...
From the other colors, IMHO, these are the colors that are much more popular
than other colors :
Dark Red, Reddish Brown, Tan, Dark Tan, All sorts of transparent colors and metallic
colors.
Lego is the depiction of the world, so popular/widely available colors in the
world reflects themselves in the popular/widely available colors in the Lego
world too. (Classic colors era is a bit exception like the currently imposed
sex-neutral colors like coral and stuff)
What you should note : Certain colors will
2. Form
Common bricks, plates and other building elements : Applies to all segments and
always in high demand if not in abundance of supply. Quantity would be the drawing
factor for the resellers / MOC designers.
Utensils : Applies to all segments and always in high demand if not in abundance
of supply. Quantity would be the drawing factor for the resellers.
Weapons : Applies to all segments and always in high demand if not in abundance
of supply. Quantity would be the drawing factor for the resellers.
Windows / Doors... all sorts of stuff pertaining to structures : Again applies
to all segments but will attract MOC designers if you supply in quantity.
A set collector/builder will purchase through a wanted list most of the time
unlike a designer which then other parts in your store if you have either stock
or price correct. List above could be extended and more refined but that should
be compiled by a computer rather than a human I think
Lost of things you'll encounter about form in your Lego selling journey,
some like
The love for the masonry bricks
People need all sorts of colors for the different shape&size tiles/shiny surfaces
and sometime in less favorable colors
People need to connect their new road plates in their cities with 2x4 dark bluish
gray tiles which are not always abundant
Large plates in different colors always in good demand
etc. etc..
Remember though all the things I've written above and down below are just
informations as operating a business is just a different endeavour one should
handle with his/her insights & financials & strategies... Like all sorts of similar
world meta a certain lego piece / set / figure has speculative, consumptive and
tradable characteristics which would also shape the way of operating your Lego
business.
3. Quantity/Variety
I combined these two together because the two are equally important. Depending
on your envisioned store size and targeted segment of customers different combinations
of these will work. You can target designers/resellers for example even with
low variety and high quantity. High variety, high quantity will work good for
all segments but definitely need much more capital and management capability.
On these front you are alone with your business skills.
And Theme wise, from my experience...
4+ sets : Mostly stay away type of sets as they don't usually have parts
that caters to set collectors/builders. Exception: When they have good and in
quantity licensed figures. Large / complex parts are only viable if employed
in future favorable design or in some obscure design.
To note another thing : Simplicity, Reusability, Need in Quantity and the supply/rarity
are the main factors that drive the market price of the parts, the same way it's
the deciding factor for the designers as well.. Exception: a rare complex/less
reusable part's use in a MOC design or future favorable Lego design.
City : Rich in classic colors, will surely attract set collectors/builders that
want to complete their classic sets. Parts are in abundance and in relatively
good demand. Downside : Parts are cheaper then same form different color. Big
sets have parts that would complete other sets from more favourable themes. Note:
Recents sets have a different choice of colors which I think doesn't fit
very well in any of the above customer segment's appreciation.
Friends : Rich in white color, structural parts. The overall percentage of favourable
colors is the deciding factor to buy an part out a Friends set, color theme generally
doesn't suit well to wide segments of customers. Sets with nature scenes
have good reddish brown content. Minidolls performs way bad then city figures
but the animals are in good demand.
Disney : Good source for lavish structural stuff. Good pearl gold content. Minidolls
from these sets I guess much more favorable.
Ninjago : Good blend of classical and recent favourable colors but depending
on the set has less reuse possibility for parts especially big dragon sets. Good
thing about those sets is though they are symmetrical so that you always end
up with 2x, 4x of some parts. Elaborate parts like dragon wings and stuff not
always sell well. Figures sure better than city counterparts even some surpassing
star wars/marvel/dc popularity (akita for ex.). Ninjago is a good source of weaponry
though it oversupplies it with both new and used markets. Being esentially Near
adolescent+20 years theme sure takes attention from AFOLs but AFOLs tend to favour
larger sets. With oriental architechture they don't seem to cater for every
designer out there. Also rich in pearl gold stuff. A good source for certain
rare colors. (Dark green for example)
Brickheadz : Has good parts for more Brickheadz, lots of shiny surfaces (tiles,
slopes) when in quantity. Rich in snot design elements. A curse to 2x2 Bright
Pink Brick.
Classic : Excess stock of Lego poured down onto the newcomers. Mostly contains
unfavourable colors in quantities and favourable colors in tiny quantities.
Advent Calendars : Since they contain microbuilds they are most of the time rich
in snot design elements (studs on 2 sides 3 sides etc.) that are used in tiny
details. Don't count on them though as Lego sells the same elements through
Pick a Brick. Also has a good quantity of exclusive figures.
Harry Potter : Overally has good form & color. Figures tend to be overcrowded
and saturated. A good source for certain rare colors. (Some dark,sand green for
example)
Minecraft : Rich in Bricks & Plates in established colors. Figures doesn't
seem to sell well but Minecraft fans are not AFOLs yet.
Creator 3 in 1 : Same thoughts as Classic
DC & Marvel : You should mainly think about the figures for these sets, then
comes the parts. Some Marvel sets rich in dark blue which doesn't well fit
into other themes so easily. Adults take the figures and toss the parts so....
Star wars : A good mixture of both form & color and minifigures are sought for,
what else can you expect? Main source to cater for the Light bluish gray greed
Also has nearly exclusive big parts that both do sell well and can be speculated
for price appreciation.
Creator expert : Minus the figures like Star Wars has good combination of both
form and color.
To sum it up : Parts selling (as I understood some 2 years of selling here) is
not as simple as : "See the high partout ratio (name some multiplicant here**),
partout and dump it onto Bricklink" . You should understand your targeted customers
needs, and your financial abilities to decide what to part out in how many quantities
to sell here...
** : Always approach with caution for new sets with high partout ratios as they
tend to contain rare but low market color/parts which may bloat the overall partout
ratio.

| There used to be people on eBay selling the Yoda NY torsos ten at a time. The
same sellers also sold Deadpool heads and occasionally other body parts, and
comic con figure parts, and so on. No doubt many collectors have them in their
collections. Genuine or not? Who knows. Personally I wouldn't pay a high
price for any of them.

| It seems like some of your stuff are highly-priced which won't help sales.
for example,
you're used
is listed for $23 CAD when it normally sells in used condition for $10 CAD. Also,
you don't have many lots for sale, only 372 and 1952 bricks I didn't
get consistent sales till I was closer to 6-7k lots and about 100k-150k bricks.
Also, you might want to change this line here "We do not take responsibility
once items have been shipped" as it's not true as Paypal and banks always
side with the buyer no matter what. if you are worried it might get damaged it's
best to buy insurance.
Also, it looks like you only ship to the UK and USA. I'm not sure if I'm
missing something but most European stores sell to all of Europe which helps
increase sales

I have 3 of these. One of them is still sealed in it's original bag, and
I got two from very reputable sellers many years ago, with documentation and
history. All three I have are like the other posters described, letters are a

For me, the first question is where / who did you buy it from, then what is their
history selling lego, where did they say they got it from, how many have they
sold or still have for sale.
Although given the value of this part and the number of bulk lots that were sold
on ebay and various other sites (including here), I imagine it is fake.

What the others said - but I'd be extremely cautious due to its commercial
value.
I guess a bad brick printer guy/company could print this on a basic white torso...
And did you carefully check it's not a simple transfer? You know, mainly
for kids, you apply with water...

Honestly, out of my own, non-expert opinion of staring because I have nothing
else to do, and everything everyone else has said, I’d say it’s real!

The "TM" is not higher up - it's that the heart in the BL image is lower,
not lined up with the lettering, unlike the OP's, which is lined up.

The heart in the BL picture has a point at the bottom. The heart in the picture
appears to be more rounded.

It looks like the letters are laid on a bit thicker than in the figure image
here on BL, but that's not an uncommon variation in Lego printing:
The heart also appears to be in a slightly different location relative to the
lettering and trademark symbol but I'm assuming the black and red print were
applied separately, so that is not particularly weird either.

I never have an issue on a PC. But on both my tablets, probably once a month
I get an error where I get logged out and my saved password fails to log me in.
So I have to request a new password each time, and set it to what it already
is and the saved password then works. I assume it is down to programming that
worked 20 years ago when first tested and never retested on more modern browsers.

The cookies here have been terrible for ages, the amount of times that I've
had to re-login, check the checkbox and have that ID mismatch error so I have
to clear my cookies and cache and then the browser and re-load is beyond embarrassing
for any self-respecting developer, but lately they've gotten worse. It's
like the timeout for them has been changed to just a couple of hours, so much
so that even though I continue to check the "Keep me logged in" checkbox, I've
had to re-login about 3-4 times in the last 24hrs.
"Oh, it's just logging in, what's the problem?" some might say, but the
cookies aren't working how they SHOULD be working, even before all this it
was ridiculous, but now it's getting beyond a joke.
It's not my browser, I have experienced this across different computers over
the years. Any help or just reassurance that it's not just me would be helpful...
Thanks

'Across different computers' might be the issue. I've experienced
the need to login again usually after I have logged in at another computer and
come back to my normal laptop. As if only one 'keep me logged in' setting
can stay active at a time.

| Hey Guys,
I got this lego set about 4 years ago from Toys R Us. It has a Santa minifigure
at the beach with a cooler, small table and a parasol. I have spent an hour or
so looking for it on Bricklink but cannot find it.
This part here was used for the parasol but it isn't listed in the Item appears
in section.
3960pb027
I know the minifigure also wore this hat element.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

|
The buyer has to complete the NSS don't they, leaving at least two weeks
after they filed it? It is not like they are opening a claim, getting the item
delivered and forgetting about stopping the NSS and it still happening automatically.
The buyer needs to complete it for the NSS to stand.
|
We had answer from admins and we checked all completed NSS and as we said - all
of them had tracking numbers, two of them even were delivered in time of NSS
completed...
|
And unfortunately it will happen again and again until you either speed up delivery
(for example, by having the stock in the same country as your business) or stop
these buyers making complaints by highlighting even more clearly that there are
very extended processing times before you post orders. As mentioned yesterday,
putting a big warning in your slogan and your banner rather than just saying
"see shipping terms" would help here. It might put off a few buyers but if they
are the ones not reading terms and then complaining then maybe that is a good
thing. The "good" buyers that read and understand your delays will presumably
still place their orders. If you can reduce the numbers filing NSS even by 1
then it slows down how quickly you get the auto suspension and so gives you longer
to resolve the NSS complaints you get.
Your business model of operating inside the EU but processing in Russia might
have worked before covid and the invasion of Ukraine but with extended delivery
times now it seems to be breaking down. It will only get worse if the Kaliningrad
issues escalate and transportation between Russia and Lithuania breaks down further.
It might partly be the buyers' fault for not reading terms but the end effect
is on your store, so you need to minimise the number of complaints.
15-20 years ago there used to be a similar oroblem on ebay. Some Chinese sellers
would claim to be in the UK but in reality were posting items from China to a
UK warehouse before posting on. So while they were eventually posted within the
UK, the delays could be very long and many complaints made. Ebay finally cleaned
that up, so any Chinese sellers have to have the product in a UK warehouse if
they claim to be in the UK. Now it works much better.
|
You are absolutely correct and we know it and work on it.
From the February we start to preparing the process when we split storage to
make separate store in Vilnius and the second selling store in Russia just for
Russian customers.
But it is a large changes with large ammount of money needed for all steps and
we can't do it momently.
Now we are in process to finish the first step - own websyte to sell parts in
Russia to have some additional profit for future changes.
It will take about a month more.
Than we will start to earn and find money for growing our inventories to make
wide stock for both stores. It can take 2-3 months.
Finaly about a month will take the process to open storage in Vilnius and manage
all processes.
We hope that at the end of this year / begining of next one we will have our
worldwide business full in Vilnius.

The buyer has to complete the NSS don't they, leaving at least two weeks
after they filed it? It is not like they are opening a claim, getting the item
delivered and forgetting about stopping the NSS and it still happening automatically.
The buyer needs to complete it for the NSS to stand.

We had answer from admins and we checked all completed NSS and as we said - all
of them had tracking numbers, two of them even were delivered in time of NSS
completed...

And unfortunately it will happen again and again until you either speed up delivery
(for example, by having the stock in the same country as your business) or stop
these buyers making complaints by highlighting even more clearly that there are
very extended processing times before you post orders. As mentioned yesterday,
putting a big warning in your slogan and your banner rather than just saying
"see shipping terms" would help here. It might put off a few buyers but if they
are the ones not reading terms and then complaining then maybe that is a good
thing. The "good" buyers that read and understand your delays will presumably
still place their orders. If you can reduce the numbers filing NSS even by 1
then it slows down how quickly you get the auto suspension and so gives you longer
to resolve the NSS complaints you get.
Your business model of operating inside the EU but processing in Russia might
have worked before covid and the invasion of Ukraine but with extended delivery
times now it seems to be breaking down. It will only get worse if the Kaliningrad
issues escalate and transportation between Russia and Lithuania breaks down further.
It might partly be the buyers' fault for not reading terms but the end effect
is on your store, so you need to minimise the number of complaints.
15-20 years ago there used to be a similar oroblem on ebay. Some Chinese sellers
would claim to be in the UK but in reality were posting items from China to a
UK warehouse before posting on. So while they were eventually posted within the
UK, the delays could be very long and many complaints made. Ebay finally cleaned
that up, so any Chinese sellers have to have the product in a UK warehouse if
they claim to be in the UK. Now it works much better.

We understand your concern.
We would like to stress that the initial course of action in order to remove
the NSS alerts is to contact buyers directly. The Help Desk is a secondary source
for when buyers are not replying and/ or other emergencies occur. Extended waiting
times is unfortunately a serious inconvenience for buyers and we would advise
looking into ways of reducing buyer waiting time which will in turn reduce the
number of NSSs.
We have replied in more detail to the ticket you created in the Help Desk.

Thanks a lot, we love you so much that you answered!
We always try to contact buyers.
I checked ticked answer - all 3 completed NSS had tracking before they completed
it...
Thats the main problem - orders shipped but buyers who we contacted with - complete
NSS instead of Cancel it.
We know that sometimes they did it just because didn't know the difference
clear...
But we always contact with buyers and try to solve any problem asap

| | Hello, we have our store suspended because of completed NSS that has tracking
and was delivered to our customer some time before he completed this NSS.
We provide all info about this NSS at Help Desk, if you need more info please
write us.
We have a top-50 store on bricklink with hundreds of orders a month and we always
ship our orders and always solve any problems with our orders.
Please answer on the ticket asap, cause our customers are worried cause of suspended
store (that thay will not receive orders they placed, but they will)
And cause we need to sell our parts (we have 15 employes now whom we need to
pay salary)
It is auful to lose money cause of buyer who can stop NSS after he receive his
order.
Thanks a lot for your help
We always work for our customers and hope you know it.

One possible explanation …
There are (still) a few small towns, where the only USPS service is post office
boxes. That is, the post office (and the community it serves) is sufficiently
small, that USPS does not offer street address delivery. In those communities,
every resident is given a free post office box. Ask your customer if they receive
their mail at a PO Box.
Note that in those communities, UPS may offer street delivery.

I find it outrageous this store is still suspended for 3 NSS that never should

There was one time I dropped off over 60 orders at the post office. Unfortunately
all of those packages got missplaced for a couple weeks. All of the buyers who

We solved all NSS before they appeared, what is the reason of store suspending

Yes, it looks like a big problem for large stores with many orders...
We were in Feautured and Highlited stores all months last years and we afraid
every time we received NSS even we know we do best to solve the problem.
But every time this problems happened - we were in contact with Bricklink administration
and help us and we very grateful for it and hope it will be solved this time
soon
Just right now I am afraid that the reason why we have no answer from the side
of administration - that our business model include parts from Russia.
We know that Russian stores were banned because of problems with payment and
shipping
We can provide all documentation that we are Lithuanian Business, that buyers
pay to our Lithuanian account and we ship orders from our Lithuanian address.
We hope that the native of parts is not a reason to ban us as Russian store.
We always do best to our buyers and in time of NSS we solve it - make refunds
/ provide trackings of shipped / delivered orders and we can do it this time
too.

Not sure what you see, but when I try to print a label for a (somewhat) recent
order, I can see a mix of UPS/USPS options. Maybe double-check your presets (package
weight, dimensions, etc.) and make sure that the values are correct. Or just
ship UPS, I guess?
|
Hi yes, I usually get a mix and for whatever reason all the USPS options are
missing!
|
Strange. Have you tried printing a label manually? Maybe try again later. The
only other thing I can think of is maybe USPS doesn't deliver to that particular
address, but UPS does. Is that even possible?
|
That was my first thought was it wasn't a serviced area, but then I saw I've
shipped to them before. I try not to use UPS because the drop off is a different
side of town, I would have remembered doing it.
I haven't tried manual label yet, I've been a bit swamped at the just
ordered today, I plan to give that a shot tomorrow, I'll let you know.
Thanks for the imput
