It doesn't like my password now. I get the "ID or Password Mismatch!"
I've tried to do a password reset but an email does not get sent to make

My user name is "jeffhau" (I created this new account to be able to post here).
My store name is THEREISNOSPOON.
I'm really at a loss here as I've sent messages to Help Desk with no
response. I've tried everything I can think of to get back in my account
but no success.
I'm guessing now that I have unfulfilled orders in my store not yet invoiced
so that's not good. BrickLink is a needed source of income for me as well
so obviously it's not good in that regard.
Hopefully someone out there can provide information that can remedy this problem.
Thanks for reading.

They are not overpriced, they are just more than you are willing to pay. Why
would someone part with one at significantly below market price when the buyer
could then quickly flip it at market price. The market price at which others
are buying/selling IS the realistic price.

There were expected shipping delays. I'm confident the buyer got his minifigs
eventually, albeit 2-4 weeks later than expected but never bothered to pay me.
Some buyers think they are stealing from a large company but they don't
stop to think that they're actually stealing from an actual person. I think
if more did, they wouldn't be so cavalier about it.

Yep - this behaviour was recently mentionned here:

Some buyers are kind and they'll pay again, apparently some are less.

that for new and used and your inventory has been picked over for the good parts

Somewhat reductive approach to evaluating inventory, isn’t it?
The man has large volumes of higher-valued minifigs and minifig parts, among
other factors to consider for an accurate resale purchase number.
After reading your “I think 50k CAD is the right price” statement, I left wondering
if you’re simply having a little fun with the 35k euro evaluation? If so, why
not just let the man try and promote his sell-off, long shot that it might be.
He’s been jammed up here a few times already.
I think he knows what’s what in this marketplace, at least as well as we do.

When somebody inventories it basically
BrickLink relies on volunteers and members to provide set inventories.
So we need somebody that
a) owns the set
b) is wiling to open it
c) is really willing to sit and count and check the inventory

| As others have pointed out, you're responsible if the package doesn't
reach the buyer.
However, I would probably ask your buyer to be a bit more patient. Ask them to
wait a few more weeks and if the order doesn't arrive, you will be happy
to offer them a refund. I've had cases where a few users got anxious and
asked for a refund prematurely and this always diffused the situation. Sometimes
they just need assurances that you're not going to scam them and by saying
you'll offer them a refund in a few weeks (be specific with a date), they'll
have it in writing and feel better about it.
In Problem Order, Friend.bricks writes:
| | Hi,
We wish to kindly ask for help with NSS. Buyer placed an order with us and asked
for cheapest shipping. We replied that it would have no tracking and no insurance
in that case. As he accepted that and paid his invoice, we shipped his order
without tracking and insurance - as he ask for. Several days ago, he contacted
us that he still did not get his order. We very politely explained that there
is not much we can do right now – maybe there is only delay with shipment (Christmas
time) and if by chance order would be returned to us we will inform him. We also
asked him if there is anything else, we could do for him. As he still did not
get his order after few next days he issued NSS and he is saying that he has
no proof no reason to believe we shipped his order and even if we shipped it
and if it is lost, it is our fault and we are responsible for it.
In our store terms and conditions is written that if order is not insured we
are not responsible for damaged or lost shipment. Isn’t it so that, if buyer
requires shipping without tracking and insurance and if we have in our store
terms and conditions written that we are not responsible for lost or damaged
shipments if they are not insured, so if he place an order he agrees with our
terms and conditions and he is accepting that risk of damaged or lost shipment
is on his shoulders?
We shipped over 2000 orders in last 10 years and even 30-50% of them were send
without tracking and insurance we did not have such a problem in the past.
Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves? Buyer paid via Paypal. We are
getting suspicious whether the buyer did not plan this. What if he already got
his order, he is saying that he do not have it and wish to get refund. We will
never get any proof if he got it or not. From buyers 24 orders he already has
1 NPB with negative feedback.
Please what can we do? Many thanks for your advices and support.

| Looks to me like one of those "ghost" stores. They don't have the parts
on hand but the prices are high (10x or higher) so even if they get an order
for something, they'll make so much on the order that they can place an order
at another store or multiple stores that have the parts at a reasonable price
and have them shipped to the end buyer directly.
For example, BuyerA buys 100 1x2 bricks for 50 cents each plus cost of shipping
from SellerA. That's a $55 order (approximately).
SellerA buys the same 100 bricks from SellerB for $10 and has the order shipped
to BuyerA and pockets $45 for doing nothing.
And before you say that'll never happen, it does. Especially to newbies
who don't realize that they're being gouged. They come looking for parts
for a moc and lo and behold, this store has all the parts they need.

| Sounds like you're trying to make a mosaic.
I've made a few so let me offer some advice. There are 1x1 plates in colours
that you can obtain in quantity for reasonable prices (5 cents each or less).
Most of the stores that have them in quantity and for those prices are in Germany.
Also, if you know what you're making, you can buy larger plates as well.
1x2, 1x3, 2x2 corners and so on. A 1x2 plate is usually cheaper than two 1x1
plates. If you're looking to reduce your cost per stud, buying larger plates
will help. If you're not making a mosaic but are buying parts for a classroom
for example (to have the kids make mosaics), you might want to skip the larger
plates.
The parts you're looking for are
and the colours that you'll most likely find in quantity are
Black
Blue
Bright Light Blue
Bright Light Orange
Bright Light Yellow
Bright Pink
Coral
Dark Azure
Dark Blue
Dark Bluish Gray
Dark Brown
Dark Green
Dark Orange
Dark Pink
Dark Purple
Dark Red
Dark Tan
Dark Turquoise
Green
Light Aqua
Light Bluish Gray
Lime
Magenta
Medium Azure
Medium Blue
Medium Lavender
Medium Nougat
Olive Green
Orange
Red
Reddish Brown
Sand Green
Tan
White
Yellow
Yellowish Green
That's a lot of colours! Even if you got 500 of each colour at 5 cents each,
you're looking at almost $1000, probably more when you factor in multiple
shipping costs and possibly duties.
You could narrow down the colours. Do you need 6 shades of blue? Do you need
5 shades of green? If you're making a mosaic of the Hulk, maybe you want
all the different greens.
The last part is to make a wanted list. Add each of the parts in the colours
you are looking for and search. Or, pick one of the 1x1 plates in a particular
colour and look at who has the highest quantity at the cheapest prices. Then
visit that store and see what other 1x1 plates they have at prices you're
comfortable paying. As I mentioned, they will most likely be in Germany.
Good luck!

| Fair points but at $160 to get it, I'd argue most parents aren't buying
their kids sets to reach that threshold. Should have been a $50 GWP. So that
leaves the adult market who will buy $200 sets to get it. Most of those adults
will be waiting until a better GWP.

You're not spending $160 to get it. You're spending $160 to get $160
worth of LEGO products, and getting a bonus along with it (unless you tell them
"no, I don't want a free set", which is always your right).
Picture a little kid who thinks they can never build something as good as a real
Lego set, but then they see this set built in their own style and realizes that
they're on the right path. To me, this set embodies the true spirit of Lego
— even if you only have a handful of parts in mismatched colors, your imagination
is really the limit. Got a pretzel? why not build a flying car! That's true
creativity.
Personally I'll be skipping this one, but I don't buy many sets to begin
with and the parts don't interest me. It's not for me in the first place,
and that's okay.

On the subject of capes I don't know how many variations there are but can
I suggest that we add the word 'Rigid' to all those capes that hold their
form when lightly pinched at one end and then add the word 'Soft' to
all those capes that flop down under the same test
This would at least give people a rough idea of the style of cape with just a
quick glance

The correct terms to describe these fabrics would be Woven and Knit. (basically
the difference between a dress shirt and a T-shirt) However, not everyone understands
fabric construction.
As we already use Starched and Spongy, I just don't think adding even more
subjective terms would be very helpful.

Well isn't 'Starched' just a further fabric construction that most
people don't understand? I certainly did'nt until I just keyed it into
google. At least everyone will understand the basic principal of a firm, stiff
or rigid cape compared to one that is not hence my suggestion to include it
|
Well, maybe my age is showing but I would think Starched is a very common term?
Also, as these capes age, they lose the rigidity and that could create some confusion
with the term. Of course, it's the starch wearing off that causes this. So,
now we are back to Woven and Knit.
I could create a simple image to add to the additional images that could cleary
show the differences in fabric type for lay people.

I've had a similar situation happen to me (not instructions but parts). Had
a user in another country claim to be from Canada and clearly wasn't. If
they are trying to circumvent the countries you ship to, then you can cancel
it. You can also report their account and they'll have their buying privileges
revoked. If they leave negative feedback, it'll be removed.
Of course, this is just my experience. I can't imagine the policy changing
in the past 8 months but you never know!

my custom MOC instructions that I sell on this site, I do not want to purse with
the order and just refund the buyer and cancel the order. I specifically chose
to use BL for select MOCs to be sold here on BL because it gives me more control
over this problem, compared to Rebrickable site which has not been able to stop
MOC instruction theft. Waiting on BL customer support e-mail.

| Maybe a hybrid model would work. 6 months sales or last 100 sales, whichever

I think if you have an older set that sells once every 3 months, why not keep
the historical data from years past? For example, this set has sold once new
and seven times used in the last 6 months. More historical data on this would
be great. Even with eight sales, it's still a lot more than some of the much
older sets.
In Price Guide, simmony96 writes:
| | Hello,
Bricklink's price guide tool is incredibly powerful, but seems hellbent on
periodic amnesia, resulting in anything older than 6 months not existing at all.
It would be interesting to see graphs of how several items have evolved over
the years, and how the supply of certain sets were exhausted. I also would love
to use it to see if certain parts have ever sold in unreleased colours. Is a
longer price guide history something that has been considered?
(Same with orders really, but I guess it's a limit of the site's servers?)

They have some large scale models you can purchase instructions for and build
it yourself with your own bricks or bricks you can buy on Bricklink. If you

start a paypal claim.

| Contact the seller. A good seller will offer you different options. If I sent
the wrong parts, I would offer the buyer a refund plus additional cost for having
the items shipped (about $2.30 CAD for a bubble mailer). If I had the items,
I would offer to send them and mention that since I'm already shipping, they
could tack on to the order as long as it doesn't jump a shipping tier. Most
buyers like this option.
It's all about communication. The seller should ask you what you would like,
not assume what they offer is a good solution.
