" or additional promoting for profit "

so, you are saying it is 'Additional Promotion' to repost it, but it's
only a "problem" to do that if it's for Profit...

ok gotcha..
so, it's worse than i thought, they aren't even getting anything out
of the deal, just 100% free promotion for that website.

duh.....

also, i used the terminology "Likely" not "assume"

i never assumed anything

here, see.

on Aug. 11th, i finally recieved it, the stupid email you all have been talking

nothing
i ignored it,
i didn't reply,
i didn't repost it for them here in the forum...
i didn't even read it

Congratulations, you read the forum and had the information provided to you already
so you knew exactly what to do with it. Guess what, I did the same thing when
I got it. But you know what else, it came to my email account which is where
I saw it first and for those that don't look at or view their incite BL messages,
that's quite possible where these members are seeing it first as well.

It's not the fact that they posted it, or the call out that it was the full

they are allowed to. The problem here is the manner and attitude used with the
assumptions made that it is malicious or additional promoting for profit. I
think you need to have a more open mindset in understanding all perspectives
to grasp what is being communicated. Additionally, the original poster has realized
that this thread has already been started many times over and has since removed
the post, so again this is all mute.

no wonder sellers are joining the other site.. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN PROMOTING IT

-- good job..

ok, well i guess someone might as well say it..
if you are reposting the ad , an exact word for word copy & paste... likely you
have already opened your store on that website & are getting paid a commission
for reposting the ad.

It's amazing the assumptions that you make for everyone. Posting a message
like this in the forum is to let everyone know that when they get it that it
is Spam and they can ignore it rather than question it again and again.

no it's not amazing & it's not an assumption... it's a simple marketing
ploy...

you all are promoting the website, word for word, for free for them... all they
had to do was private message a few 'white knights' & wha-bam!

This is a forum to inform people and that is exactly what is being done. If
someone is of the wrong mindset and doesn't listen and follows through with
all of us saying it's bad, kind of a "shame on them" moment.

if it's not a problem to post it publicly, why is it a problem to get the

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 do the same. I keep new and used separate anyway, but it is a useful internal
check that I have picked the correct condition. If it is assembled it is used,
unassembled means new. The few I have that are new assembled, I make a note or
put an N on the bag.

Ermmmmm...

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

Considering they open up several accounts here everyday just to send spam messages
knowing that it is against the TOS when they sign up and also knowing that their
accounts will be quickly closed down but they still repeatedly do it several
times a day knowing then I would say that kind of constitutes it being a scam
site or at least a very scummy site.

I meant...
Apparently (but I didn't check much) it's a working marketplace.
So it doesn't seem to be a scam.
But the way they promote their website is pure spam.

If you wish, it's like if BrickOwl would send messages to all sellers here...
But BO isn't this kind of business, of course.

I see your point and I agree, their spamming here dose not prove that the site
itself is a scam. I should have read your post more carefully before I replied
to it. I apologize for any offence given.

Jim.

Not a mystery...

That’s the rub when using such adjectives or descriptors, they’re subjective
in nature. It’s why they say that vendors should under-pitch, rather than use
such absolutes in sales. Every expectation of "pristine" condition, is unique.

The only instance I've ever felt comfortable in using such terms in sales,
is with our certified/graded trading cards we're selling. And not even with
all grading companies either, PSA only. Otherwise I steer clear of using such
absolute terms in sales.

Tell me about it... People often think their stuff is "like new". They have
an issue where they can't be objective over their own items. I drove 70
miles to get some "absolutely brand new" rims and then see these marks on almost
every spoke and this rash. I didn't even need them to be perfect, but I
felt let down after that description.

If a Minifigure is in MINT condition or a set along with whatever else comes

The use of adjectives such as “Mint, Pristine, Flawless, Perfect, etc” to better
describe with more accuracy the true condition, is a good thing imho. Just as
the proper use of adjectives would be to better describe the honest condition
of flawed/damaged/worn items.

However terms "Like-new or As New" as descriptors can add confusion
to a listing (I assume is the reasoning applied

) and therefore discouraged
within the TOS.

of any item, regardless of whether it is being listed as NEW or USED”

Shipping method when BL has no dimensions

Topic:

Shipping

I run a UK-based store, and ship within the UK. A few months ago a Canada buyer
contacted me as he wanted an instruction sheet sent to Canada. I obliged, and
set up a shipping method for letters (max thickness 0.5cm) so he could place
the order. All went fine and he received his instrcution sheet a couple of weeks
later.

Today I have received an order through instant checkout for a minifigure from
a Canada buyer, using the shipping method that should restrict dimensions to
0.5cm. Now I dont ship parts and figures overseas anyway but I did some digging
and it turns out BL does not have dimensions in the inventory for the minifigure....presumbaly
this is how it slipped through and the buyer was able to order it.

I have suggested to the buyer that we should cancel the order...waiting to hear
back

Question: is there any way to stop Bricklink allowing orders through instant
checkout when there are no dimensions loaded, so I can prevent this from happening
again.

TIA

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).

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

I look at it like this, you are bound to turn off some people by assembling figures

New Minifigures - Minifigures are brand new, taken directly from new sets or
were purchased "as new" in another form such as accessory packs or Pick A Brick
and have been handled only for sorting. Minifigures may be listed as new either
assembled or unassembled.

IIRC Russell clarified that (1) minifigures that are not assembled out of the
box can be assembled and (2) minifigures that come factory assembled can be disassembled,
and sold as New.

In 2022 I still don't understand why:

Since it’s almost 2023

* assembling Minifigures is allowed (why not Sets?),

But there is a difference. 3-4 parts connected (most cases) won’t get moved around
or damaged in shipping as opposed to sets which would break apart, etc

* people WISH to assemble Minfigs (when not from Factory), and why they like
to "play" with the buyer's items.

It has multiple benefits for some storage systems. Mine I have hundreds of different
minifigure in the same container and if they weren’t assembled I wouldn’t be
able to find them.

Personnaly I won't buy assembled Minifigs.

Personal preference I guess. I can’t say I’ve ever had a problem shipping figures
assembled and I’ve received many assembled and haven’t had a problem with buyers
either. If anything if they are assembled they are less likely to get damaged
in shipping since the parts can’t move around and hit each other during shipping.

Also - and still in 2022, some sellers assemble parts for stocking or shipping,
making big heavy compact 4x6 Plates blocks (yes, seen this!!!) that makes even
more damages and can take an hour to disassemble the whole order, wearing white
gloves

I hate this.

That is crazy and I agree. If you have to assemble new bricks to ship it out
always ask they buyer first since most won’t approve and will pay what it would
normally cost to ship it.

Those fly directly to my Least Fav.

I would do the same. People who assemble new bricks (especially plates) are physcopaths
