Very odd. The minor damage on the box should not have had such defined damage

Not here. Damaged box sets are usually perfect for a parts seller.
A strange thing I have seen recently was a part swapped out for a completely

I have the old 9V holiday train and the 9V has finally died. I'd really like

I have to agree, if just the motor died why not just go get a new 9v motor?
The lack of giant battery box plus the cost of batteries makes it a much less
desirable option if you already have all the 9v components.
Most of the retrofits of the PF components make the tender look a little funny
due to the size of the battery box.

In China, the street information often has the form of [Town name] - [Village

the brackets [ ] are optional components in the address, and may often be omitted.
- Town name: The town name is usually followed by the suffix 镇 , 乡, or 堡.
- Village name: The village name is usually followed by the suffix 村, 新村.
- Street (Road) name: The street (road) name is usually followed by one of these
suffixes 路, 大道, 街, 大街, 里.
- Block number: The block number is usually followed by one of these suffixes
弄 , 巷 , 厅 , 胡同.
- House number: The house number is followed by the suffix 号, and the house name
is a unique number within the block or street/road.
Pulled from an SAP help pages but you get the idea. You can google each one
or potions of them to determine which goes into what field you need to fill.
You can also use the Business name/company as well, that is an additional field
that will be added to the CN22. Lastly If I get an address that gives me even
the slightest amount of trouble I'll print a second label with their name
and address and slap it on the other side of the box exactly how they sent it
to me.
If you are truly stuck send me a message and I might be able to help decipher
the exact address to enter into the label creation process.

Agreed. I do like the quote option that many provide, the last step of checkout
you can quote instead of complete purchase if they have it enabled.
Though I did just make a large purchase from a polish store that had excellent
shipping breakdown in their terms and it was 100% spot on upon receipt of invoice.
Keep your eye's out for stores like this. I do know that a few countries
mail services have significant price differences based upon the thickness of
items and know that Royal Mail is one of those, often thickness questions show

Bulk minfigure lots would be best sourced on other platforms designed for bulk.
On BL you pay a premium because they are checked for quality and are also identified
parts. Sometimes sellers list bulk but they can be a bit tricky to find.
I'd say check those other bulk and auction sites and even sites like etsy.
The alternative is your post may have been seen by someone with bulk minifig
parts and may setup a listing for you but I would say that would be fairly rare.

Hey Brian,
Just a heads up, you can use the appears in search to fairly easily find these
partial builds. It may take a bit of time to identify 3 parts and their color
but this search is amazing if you spend a couple minutes using it (for the future).
Sometimes, if you pick generic parts, you may have to do it twice then cross

Also very helpful for evaluating lots you haven't purchased yet.

I am a bit surprised about this as well. Using PayPal credit was always an option
until somewhat recently. I assumed it wasn't available because my last 2
orders involved a different currency and maybe it wasn't offered for currency
conversion transactions but then I just tried with an order from Big B (clearly
a business account) and PP credit was not an option.
They should definitely think about resolving this as PP credit is a very valuable
tool to use, this is the first site I have seen that accepts PayPal but will
not take PP credit, must be something going on behind the scenes. Would be nice
to know they know there is a problem and it is being worked on.
If you think this is not a big deal as a seller think about it like; all of a
sudden they stopped accepting Amex payments and didn't tell anyone (or any
one of the major credit companies).

I don't think the pip can be used definitively in parts that are still in
production as they may have changed. I think it is the first indicator to make
you suspect a clone part though as the pip locations seems to rarely change.
In these cases you can usually determine fake part by closely examining the details
of the items, particularly with a loupe. The rounded edges are usually the biggest
giveaway of clone parts that seem close but lack that attention to detail Lego

Make sure your store is open, can change the buy limit to a huge number temporarily.

Thanks a lot for your help. It looks like you're an expert on this
I'm still working up the courage to take this step. After the backup was
saved I received 2 large orders with a total of 279 lots.
I assume I have to manually deduct this from the updated stock?
Can you use the sub command in Brincksync and then use the relevant order files
from bricksync/data/orders?
Thanks again for your help.

I never use commands in bricksync other than blmaster on/off as I tried that
once and set all my remarks to the BL part number, basically the reason why I
have an email on how to restore a backup from the developer. The easiest way
to adjust inventory is to open each order in brickstore, mulitply by -1 and upload.
You should not have any orders after the latest backup as each order triggers
a backup of inventory.
Now if you had your store closed on bricklink but not brickowl, and those orders
came in on BO then the sync should trigger and subtract those parts from your
BL inventory.

What's the best way to go from here?

First download your current inventory as a worse case scenario backup.
Directly from the developer:
Steps to restore that backup:
#0 Shutdown BrickSync
#1 Copy that backup BSX file to bricksync/data/bricksync.inventory.bsx
#2 Run BrickSync
#3 Type "sync"
Make sure your store is open, can change the buy limit to a huge number temporarily.

What could have happened?
Can I revert to my inventory from Sunday?
Help needed!

Did you also stop the software you use to keep your stock in both stores correct?
|
Generally bricksync does not work that way, it is far more likely for a closed
bricklink shop to wipe out all parts on brick owl as a closed store will look
like 0 parts in inventory.
But the doubling has me wondering what might have happened. You don't possibly
have 2 bricksync locations do you? Running an old copy of bricksync with a stale
state file can really cause major havoc.

But as another said, don't use bricklink to edit locations on a large part
out. To be fair bricklink didn't do anything wrong, you made a mistake that
was painful to fix (been there myself). Use Brickstock and save frequently for
your own peace of mind.
