| Did they specifically state this as their reason for canceling the order?
Also, is this mentioned anywhere in their terms? If not, I would report them
to BL admins. It should be required that they notify in advance that they do
not sell to other BL sellers.
| | | | | | I have placed an order today with a seller who I have used 5 times before and
they have refused my order simply because I also have a store. They are convinced
I will resell their pieces on BL at a higher price.
I do know sellers who buy low and sell high. This seems to labour intensive to
me.
But is this a thing, sellers vetting customers?
If a seller refuses an order simpley because the buyer happens to have a store
as well, that is going to rule out a good proportion of this community.
Thoughts anyone.....

German seller? Starts with a B?
|
No, UK Seller starting with a S.
I think they could get a lot of negative feedback from this.

| It can be helpful to view the inventory on Rebrickable first. Sometimes it notes
items that do not exist in the part/color combination. This could impact your
ability to completely purchase all of the parts.
Also consider that most models on Rebrickable have not been built with actual
Lego. The model may be held together with what I call digital glue.
Here's an example of a model that is neat at first glance, but has a host
of issues making it completely awful to build (I'm still not finished after
5 months and many headaches):
https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-123471/legolot/black-falcons-grand-tower/#details
| | Use the Wanted Items tab on the left (clue (2) on the first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).
Before the selection, you’ll see all the items.
Once a store (or more) is selected, the items disappear from the list (or the
quantity goes to 0, it depends on the checkboxes on top and I don’t remember
the defaults).
So the remaining ones (or those with qty greater than 0) are not in the “pre-carts.”
Beware, due to “bulk lots” the percentage may be totally wrong… even greater
than 100%!
A bulk lot is when the seller wants you to buy by a multiple of a quantity, say
10, and the lots will have a “x10” next to them. So you want 5 but buying 10
is cheaper (or more convenient / one store less to buy from), so Auto-select
will buy 10… and count 10 fulfilled and not 5.
Don’t hesitate to play with the options, select/deselect items (you can do that
in Wanted Items!) and click here and there to see what happens.
Nothing is final before you check out. Nothing is reserved before checkout (so
you won’t annoy the sellers or the other buyers).
Also take the time to read the sellers’ terms and the items’ descriptions (the
latter especially if you buy Used).
And come back here for any other question.
Happy bricklinking

| It's been on my list for several years, but I haven't gotten to it.
I was thinking making a 12" tall base (maybe with a drawer for bulky items),
then using a heavy duty turntable and a mix of 1/2" (4 side panels) and 3/4"
(4 rear panels and other construction) birch plywood.
Each side would be offset to minimize its floor space (see diagram for frame
details). I think 12 drawer units would be fine per tower (maybe even 16).

| Good catch. My Magneto figure seems normal.
Still, the whole figure feels fake in terms of plastic (thin / semi-translucent).
Plus it has slight mold differences in the head and torso (like mentioned in
the video).

| I have a Deadpool with full Lego logos that I am willing to bet is fake. It
seems extremely fake/cheap compared to my Storm figure that also would have come
in the same set. The comments made to distinguish a fake figure by that video
also correspond to my Deadpool.
I still believe that 99.99% of all Lego with logos are real.
In Help, UTLF writes:
| | Yeah, that rumour in particular seems to be pretty bold - it makes very little
sense for a company to spend huge money on a mold with a fake Lego logo on it,
only to custom print or sell blanks for dirt cheap when you can order genuine
blanks off of PAB and make a profit
There's a video that has gone around talking about it, but it's largely
fueled by fearmongering from what I've seen
