I do have to disagree to some extent with that. if a brick has anything other
than normal minor wear it should be mentioned in the parts description
|
So.. and what is 'normal' 
There is no objective classification possible for used items.

It's said it's possible that rubber part like the truck tyre degrade
or melt into paste, is
it really that bad? I am living where in the summer the temperature could reach
35 degree cel outdoor.
How about the remote control for train? Will it have any problem after long term
storage?
Probably I am talking about after 10-20 years before I may open it for the first
time

On a similar note, do lego bricks still discolor if kept in the dark? Or is the
discoloration due to ultraviolet light?
|
Darkness is the perfect condition for avoiding discoloration as far as I know.
|
I don't know about that... lego is meant to be in the light to play with,
so the materials are chosen to be colorproof in the light not in the dark 
Older parts I know of have been faded in the dark, white-greyish, blue-greenish,
but when I put them in the sunlight (behind the windowglass) the color comes
back to original. Hence "proving" my point above

There are many more humans spending years for honest jobs and do not want to
lose that either. Still, they do currently in the blink of an eye. Ask yourself
why that is. Your problem with paying BrickLink fees will seem a minor issue.

It seems to me that you will need to go to PayPal or your Bank, since they do
not allow payments anymore. That is not caused by BrickLink, so BrickLink cannot
solve it either.

| | Are there any good resources for figuring out which bricks are genuine and which

I assume there's lots of sorting taking place and some people have more experience
telling stuff apart. The bulk of stuff is pretty obvious. Color sets certain
brands easily apart. Specific parts are unique to certain brands. Some Lego
has brand identification on it but not all. Or, may be there but too small to
actually see.
However, there still are near identical parts with near identical colors. Has
anyone found resources to help tell them apart?
This is of benefit to the community. This would help avoid the problem of an
inexperienced seller accidentally sending a non-Lego item improperly sorted from
a used lot.

I am puzzled by the fact that I receive most orders on Monday and not on Saturday

I understand that you use the weekend to spend on your hobby, but why do you
place the order on Monday, the day you should be at work? And not on Sunday evening?
Do you use Sunday night to 'sleep on it?' And if so, why?
Of course I understand that orders from the USA that are placed on Sunday evening
will only arrive on Monday evening. But I'm not talking about that.
It is the orders from Europe that always arrive on Mondays. And the rest of the
week you can just forget about: no orders. This, of course, only pertains to
my small shop.
Anyway, I have packed my weekly 3 orders placed on Monday (all from The Netherlands)
and ship them tomorrow.

Monday is not a busy day at work? So best spent (work) time for your hobby purchases

From a legal point of view, if you are an business and bought the items new from
another business (and have not played with it) you may resell it as new. However,
if you are a private person, or you bought the items from a private person, it
is used even if you have never played with it.
In this particular case... new but damaged? What's the point in selling it
as new? Do you think it will go for a higher price? It is damaged! Sigh...

| | Hello,
AGAIN I received the customs for an order from EU to extra-EU for which I already
paid taxes in advance.
AGAIN I will have to start a fight with the seller who will try any way to avoid
refunding me, as it happened before.
AGAIN the seller attached the BL invoice that seems to be USELESS right now.
Now, let's face it, it was easier back then. You don't pay taxes in advance,
you pay them when you receive your goods and it's all.
What will happen? Either of:
1) People from outside EU will stop selling to EU sellers, losing a lot of money.
2) If the order is small, people will contact the seller, ask if they can buy
those 3 4 items and do it OUTSIDE bricklink. So they don't pay taxes, they
don't pay 3% of BL fees, and everyone is happy.
Has BL to collect taxes due to some laws? That is fine. I can cope with that.
But this doesn't mean any way that a buyer must pay two times taxes. This
is a theft. I'm not
exaggerating. It's purely a theft. I am asked to pay something that I already
paid for!
And... btw if BL is forced to do this, why isn't that happening with eBay
purchases? With eBay, everything is going well as usual. Shouldn't eBay be
forced to follow the same rules?
Sorry... but something is wrong here.
I see no solutions, and this is going to be very very bad for Bricklink.
It's somewhat downfall... and I was really afraid to witness it sooner or
later.
|
This happens because BL is not implementing it full service. They just do what
the must do only nothing more. However if BL is doing things as ebay they will
become the seller and you are no longer the seller, just a provider of goods.
Do you want that?
