God, I hope it is not raw SQL. Can you imagine someone searching for "Drop Table
Users"

Or SQL injection attacks. Well, not "raw."

BTW, I'm not sure it's a scam, but it's spam for sure.

I got one too, went to report and message said store suspended. A short break
until another account is created, I suppose.

I got it this morning, reported the user, Askungen34 (0), with the message id
(46047664).

Report them here: https://www.bricklink.com/problemMember.asp

This spam appears to be working, I went to look for a physical address, found
2. One is a virtual office in Vancouver, BC and a house in San Francisco, CA.

While there I searched for Lego and I found multiple Lego sellers on there, some
did not even bother to change their store name from Bricklink. This is likely
why they keep spamming our message boxes, because it works. SMH.

I received a similar email,although mine came from cat9040265, who has an email
in Russia. I looked up the company. The Canadian address is a "virtual office".
The US address is a 2 bed 1 bath apartment.

Place an order in my store and I'll leave you feedback today.

That said, if selling your Lego is a matter of urgency, there are better places
to get rid of it all at once (e.g. FB marketplace).

OTOH, if you sell a used minifigure unassembled and the torso cracks when the
buyer first assembles it?

Not saying that there's a clear right or wrong answer, just that there's
always some other consideration. In my own store, new minifigures are unassembled
(unless factory assembled) and used are assembled. I did have one case where
I sold a new, but older, minifigure that was already partially assembled (head
on the torso as in the old days).

  These aren't rare. There are thousands upon thousands of them made. They
are sought after though and so far not available in all BAM locations so demand
is high and so can command a reasonable price.

Ah OK, interesting. I didn't know they released ones only in certain locations.

  How do you list used Legos with Different color tones.
As the photo shows, The browns are slightly different and so are the grays.

Would you place in the comments something like "The color tones may varies from
age"

Thank you

Thank you so much - LOVE LOVE how you labeled these!

or help and haven’t gotten a thing..

Yes, it is the third time you asked the same thing. You dud get replies before,
and just because they were not the reply you might have wanted doesn't mean
they were nothing.

No - it's BrickLink's Terms having a problem.
Assembling Sets is wrong.
Assembling Minifigs is right.

I'd more follow the Items Condition Terms: assembled = not New.

I think the rubbing part (ooo-er) is way less for one minifig-in-parts in its
own little baggie then it is for a new off-the-shelf LEGO set where minifig parts
are mixed in with other sharp-edged parts in larger bags.

When we put a minifig from a new set into our inventory, we put all the relevant
parts of the fig in its onw little baggie. It does not get disturbed again until
we grab that baggie from storage and ship it out. Because the baggie is way smaller
(like a 3"x2"), the parts don't have much "freedom" (if any) to do any rubbing,
even while in transport.

Niek.

I guess it’s more of personal preference ultimately

are mixed in with other sharp-edged parts in larger bags.

When we put a minifig from a new set into our inventory, we put all the relevant
parts of the fig in its onw little baggie. It does not get disturbed again until
we grab that baggie from storage and ship it out. Because the baggie is way smaller
(like a 3"x2"), the parts don't have much "freedom" (if any) to do any rubbing,
even while in transport.

Agreed - but the same for Minifigs

So, your buyers are psychopaths?  Because I’m pretty sure a lot them will assemble
the bricks and minifigures they bought


People buy LEGO to be able to have the pleasure to successfully assemble kits
themselves.

This kit or an other one; they wish to decide what to do of those parts.

If I buy this Minifig, it may be to use some of the parts to do something else.
It'd be stupid to get them assembled, THEN have to disasemble them.

It's just "stacked for shipping", silly IMO.

Agreed totally.  I was just making fun of the blanket statement

I think that depends how you store and manipulate your bags afterward.

If you put them all loose in a big box and need to stir them to find one, then
yes, they’ll rub.
If they are neatly stored and easy to reach without moving them, then no.

From your own terms: Minifigures new and used are assembled and placed into individual
bags excluding some animals and some non-standard figures.

Why would you need to assemble them if they are bagged?

Yep - makes no sense.

If a minifigure has been built and only display it is still used.

a miniFIGURE only becomes a miniFIGURE after it has been assembled,not before..then
its a set,puzzle,parts....but not a minifigure Yet....like to buy my new car
assembled too

Good analogy, except for one glaring oversight.

Unlike a "new car" purchase, we buy Lego for the expressed purpose of assembling,
the process itself. Otherwise, Lego would cease to be a building toy and would
mainly sell assembled sets, including minifigures therein.


Not every shop on bl is the same Cory...mine mainly sells minifigures...a separate
category in the inventory...and I sell them as presented in the bricklink catalog...very
handy when you have many look alikes with minor differences...of course those
who want to constuct can buy pieces or sets.

The parts can definitely rub together in the bag. Now I don't assemble new
minifigures but I totally understand why a seller might do so.

  If you were to go to the LEGO store, would you ask "Do you have the Chevrolet
Camaro Z28", or ask "Do you have the set of parts to build a Chevrolet Camaro
Z28"? If you ask the former question, and they show up with a new box for set
10304, would you then complain that you asked for the car, not its building parts
and instructions?

Semantics are just that - semantics. They don't bear relevancy on this particular
issue.

  Never went to a legoshop to buy a car...I go to a car dealer for that...so your
answer is quite moot...You are mixing up sets and minifigures....like apples
and oranges.

Uhmmmm - my "apples and oranges" (both LEGO products) are actually way closer
related than your "apples and oranges" (a LEGO minifigure and a new car you buy).
So is your answer "quite moot" as well?

From your own terms: Minifigures new and used are assembled and placed into individual
bags excluding some animals and some non-standard figures.

Why would you need to assemble them if they are bagged?

For identification, on many occasions when listing from new sets that have lots
of different figures Ive noticed that if I didn’t assemble them then I would
have stored them incorrect with a part misidentified (head, torso, etc) but during
assembly I’ve caught those errors and prevented future problems

  
I look at it like this, you are bound to turn off some people by assembling figures
(proof above) and exactly how many people are going to be bothered by having
to assemble the figure they purchased?

I can’t say I’ve lost out on that many sales and I can’t say I’ve had any complaints
about it so I’d say other than for a smaller community of people the majority
of people don’t mind if it’s assembled, unassembled, or carved out of rock, so
for the most part I don’t think I’ve lost that many customers . But also the
lost customers that has always been something thats confusing to me since (sorry
if I butcher the explanation and confuse you) but if I don’t sell something to
someone in an order, than eventually someone else will come along and purchase
that item and eventually the same will happen for every item in the order, some
new orders might even be placed which in the end equal more since the first order
never happened.
