Instant Checkout on everything and Free Shipping on orders of at least $25.
Also, the vast majority of orders ship by the next day (of course depends what
day of the week it is to make that possible).
(USA/domestic shipping only)

Don't mix: Postal Rates and Shipping Fees.
Shipping is a Service to ship at (eventually) the Postal Rate price.
To Ship is a task in itself, a service, and implies material (envelope, carton,
zip bag, chips, printing...)
Example: you can buy a single 0.02$ part in my shop.
I don't have any minimum, fee, or whatsoever.
But to ship, you'll get a Shipping fee which contains the price of an envelope,
the 2 mandatory stickers plus the eventual Customs, one or a few zip bags...
which is a different price than the Postal Rate.
So, what's the best to "retain a customer"?
Require a minimum order of 10$ (for a single part) or simply let them do what
they want but ask at the minimum to pay the packaging cost and the cost of the
service of shipping?
|
I gotcha.
Overall, I am so thankful for Instant Checkout. Avoids all these scenario's.
Take care!

You're confused, Sir.
Any shop can invoice ANY shipping price, it's not related to "actual price".
The out-of-TOS error is when you publish a 10$ price and then invoice 15$.
The fact it cost 2$ in reality is NOT a problem.
|
I don't think I'm confused. I wouldn't worry about 50 cents and
during the time when I didn't offer free shipping (pre-Instant Checkout days),
never invoiced a penny more than actual shipping costs, and also didn't charge
extra for signature if I decided to go that route, as an example. The sale and
customer satisfaction was more important than a couple dollars or cents.
Anyway, I was just offering my opinion to the OP on another perspective on how
to get the shipping cost he would like. Remember, buyers can look up pricing
too (which is why it would be so annoying, as an example, seeing USA based sellers
invoice using Retail USPS shipping rates, when I know they are paying commercial
pricing). I would not return to those stores after being invoiced and then seeing
the postal slip which says right on it what kind of shipping is being used.
I also recall a seller charging around $20 for shipping once (which was reasonable
for what I bought) then shipping the items Media Mail which probably cost $5
tops and also takes days longer.
So, overall, my opinion is not to stress the pennies from the sellers perspective
because even though not every buyer may look up actual shipping costs, everyone
still has the ability to do so, and it is easier to retain a customer when they
can see things line up as expected.

| | BrickLink offers two options for the condition of a minifigure. Used or New.
Pretty simple! :]
My thinking: it's only "new" if the minifig is still disassembled. That's
a sure sign of a new figure, when you piece it together and get that tight squeeze
for the first time, right?
However, I've come across quite a few minifigure listings that mention that
the figure has been assembled but it's still listed as New. TIL that BrickLink
still considers a minifigure's condition as New even when assembled. (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.)
I strongly disagree with that notion. What are others' thoughts on the matter?
|
Simple as this... when you buy something at a store that needs assembling and
part of that joy in purchasing an item from a store is the assembly phase...
then you would be disappointed if the assembling stage was completed for you.
So, the act of putting a minifig together and listing it as "new" removes that
assembling stage for a Buyer that wants to complete the process themselves, as
part of the purchase.
In conclusion, never assemble something that someone else wants to complete,
thus every mini-fig that is "new" in my shop is 100% always unassembled so the
buyer can have that joy passed on to them with their purchase.

| | Hi, newbie here! It's time to clear out my kid's Lego sets, c. 1990.
I have a few really basic questions. First, what is considered a 100% complete
set? Do the original "extra parts" need to be included?
Second, do any of you make an effort to clean the pieces (for sanitation purposes)?
Most of mine look very good, but since they were children's toys there are
a few that could do with a cleaning. Can I put them in a zipped net laundry
bag and throw them into the dishwasher or washing machine (obviously not tiny
ones or ones with stickers on them)? Are these methods safe or can they cause
discoloring? Do you have a better suggestion?
Third, most sets are only missing a few pieces and I'm in the process of
purchasing replacements. Is there any reason I need to inform the buyer these
are replacements?
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
|
I have no idea if we are talking 500 sets here or 5, but I'll just mention
that all the time and effort putting into ordering or figuring out missing pieces
may be off-set by simply selling everything as-is locally. Of course you can
maximize value by completing the sets, having detailed descriptions, etc... however,
that is also off-set by how much time it may take to sell each individual set
and of course, all the effort going into it, plus hanging onto items that are
not selling and playing the waiting game.
Just some advice to really think about how much time/effort to put into this
adventure to satisfy the expected outcome so frustration doesn't occur as
much.
Best of luck and some final advice... if there is any chance of grandkids or
other kids in the family that may come along, hang onto the Lego for them to
play with. You may be surprised who starts playing with them again. I took
a hiatus from age 15 or so until mid-30's when my parents bought me a Lego
set again, and I put it together with my young son... and 100's of sets later,
I wish I had my Lego from when I was young again to put them back together.

Unfortunate how unfair things can be. Even though the comments are lacking in

I would be curious if BL has any response to you about this, but am guessing

I've dabbled with this for years as well and even did ship internationally
too at one point. In the end though, I wanted to be 100% Instant Checkout, of
which I feel very comfortable having enabled for domestic only due to size/weight
being much more of a wide spectrum in shipping rates internationally compared
to domestic.
I'm sure I will revisit this approach in the future, but my goal is to also
continue to expand and part out to reach 200-250k pieces which is for me, the
current focus instead of trying to configure multiple instant checkout shipping
rates to international countries. However, even thinking about it a little now,
maybe when that time comes, I just need to focus on what is simple for shipping
rates (define the weight/size very well) vs worrying about large heavy orders
being shipped and not allowing them at all.
Good luck to you in figuring it out.

Instant checkout, in my opinion, is amazing.
I cant remember the last time I have sent an invoice, years ago.
Every order is paid for immediately and then shipped immediately. A good thing
for customers and myself.
I would suggest figuring out how to maintain instant checkout. It might be a

Your job as a seller is to invoice, pack and ship the orders as they come in,
then leave positive feedback for payment of the items and reconcile any issues
which hopefully are near zero. Everything else is at the will of the buyer to
mark packages as received, completed, and if they want to leave feedback, that
also is their choice.
That's about it. Take the time you are wasting by worrying to part out more
items, improve how your items are stored (inventory management), or watch a tv

| | Hi everyone,
I'm building a small MOC and ordered pieces from 7 sellers. On 7 orders,
3 of them had errors (43%). That is almost one order out of 2. Is that what other
buyers are experiencing?
- Missing part
- Wrong part
- One part in a lot in wrong colour
- Modified part in a non-modified lot (plate with a clip)
From my past orders, I noticed that the bigger the store is, the higher the possibility
of errors.
Errors happen, I know. I run a small BL store, and despite my double-checking,
errors do happen. On ~400 orders so far, I had errors on 4 orders. That's
like 1% of my orders.
Anyhow. I was just curious to see what other buyers were experiencing.

That is exhausting having to do all that extra work to get your orders correct.
I'll be honest, I have missed 1 lot this year in an order and it was promptly
shipped out upon being notified. It's rare, but it's part of being human
as well. However, from a cost perspective, only having to ship one extra time
this year so far is to me, not perfect, but very very good.
I have also had 1 time this year when a Used part I entered was incorrect when
pulling it, but instead of "refunding or informing the customer" I just crack
another set to go get it, even for a piece that was for a penny. Shipping the
order out as complete is much more valuable than shorting/refunding a customer
(with the assumption the piece is obtainable and not from old sets only that
I can't get in a reasonable time frame or do not have on hand either).
Hope your future orders go more smoothly. Favorite the stores that got it right,
take note of the others for yourself.

I was going to mention this more than anything else.
I would bet that anyone that sells consistently day after day, week after week,
saw a big decline about two weekends ago when the USA warmed up to 70+ nearly
everywhere so customers went outside to enjoy the outdoors rather than think
about their Lego builds. This period of the year is just dedicated to other
activities, vacations, get togethers with friends/family as the temps warm up
across the nation more consistently. Of which, I 100% understand. I'm the
same way and want to enjoy the outside too when it is warmer. It's been

That’s useful to communicate. We have them in France (things like “2CA” “3VC”).
When we get papers from banks (yearly reports of interests, capital gain, deductible

that has to be reported, we know where to report/check them on the standard form.

That is true if you are filling out the forms yourself, but no sane American
does so directly. We pay $35-$100/year for tax software that does it for us or
even more for a pro to take care of it.
The US filing system is ridiculous, at least partly on account of lobbying by
an alliance of anti-tax conservatives (who want people to hate the IRS) and the
tax prep companies (who depend on it for their livelihood). The IRS already has
almost all of this information; all they do with your filed return is double-check
that it matches what's already on file.

Sorry but I do not agree with this take. For a large percentage of Americans
that just have a W2 and take the standard deduction, yes they know "enough" about
you cause it is easier to track, but for everyone else, no, they do not know
everything about you. They have no idea which purchases are business expenses,
they can not track cash transactions as in they do not know what a payment is
for, so if we would like the American government to tax us based on all cash
flows into our bank accounts, we would all have much higher tax liabilities as
each transaction that increases our balances would get scrutinized to the highest
degree and be assumed to be revenue and taxable, and it would be on every person
to break out what is revenue vs what is not and we would have to trust each other
that friends/family would report the same gifts/trading of cash the same ; which
IMO, would be far worse than it is now.
As an example, imagine going out to dinner with a group of friends, you split
the bill with one person paying the tab and 7 others Venmo you their share to
you. The government would see all those Venmo's as revenue to you and then
2 of the 7 friends want to deduct the payments as expenses cause they want to
cheat the system. It could be an absolute nightmare and it would be.
Or you buy something at a store for $200, use it for a year, end up not liking
it so you sell it for $50 cash, then deposit that cash into your bank and boom,
another item to report as revenue, that you took a loss on (not counting depreciation
here) but the government sees it as revenue to report. An example of how keeping
money out of banks would be a valid tactic to avoid taxation.
For purposes on this topic, when I knew I was going to start selling Lego, I
immediately kept track of every purchase I ever made, every set from a store,
every expense incurred, every cash transaction through craigslist, every mile
driven, etc... to keep records of it all. This is what is expected of any citizen
that is selling anything cause it is the law. Now, there are differences between
a Hobby and Business; of which, I made sure to meet the business criteria to
be able to gain all those deductions. Thousands and thousands of records; thank
god most stores allow us to buy more than 2-3 sets at a time to reduce the paperwork.
For anyone out there that is worried about paying taxes on their revenue here,
report it to the best of your ability and expect the government to know about
it from paypal transactions. In reality, just about every State requires selling
permits, tax to be paid to your home state, and every person should be reporting
every craigslist item sold or facebook marketplace sale, etc... It all falls
under revenue/sales for taxation.
