How are we supposed to know for sure if a item was not released if no one can
put one up for sale?!?
So my request is that you allow sellers to sell the item, but only in the conditions
of sealed or new.
|
If anyone has one of the unreleased items and would like to list it for sale,
they can inform us. Then we'll look into it and remove the "not released"
flag if necessary.
|
But most sellers won't think of that or have the time to bother.
|
Have you seen the BrickLink catalog? There is so much stuff here that is not
cataloged anywhere else. Over the 24 years that this site has existed, I would
say that almost anything that any user has had has found its way into the catalog
somehow. And we still get rare and old stuff submitted all of the time. If any
of these sets actually existed, they would have most likely turned up by now.
And like Jonas said, if they do turn up, all they have to do is send a message
or make a request like everyone else who wants to contribute.
|
Ok, but could you put a note on the items stating, that if you have one to contact
the admins?
| |
| | | | Since there isn't anything here that we can do from the catalog side regarding
the unreleased items (we can neither change the wording nor the listing policy),
I have moved this thread to "General".
|
I do have a set to be added to the unreleased catagoy though.
(No I don't have it, but I know of it)
Where do I add it?
|
What set would that be?

I have had prototype parts that I actually have in-hand rejected from the BrickLink
catalog because they were never officially released. My impression is that those
sets existing in the catalog at all is really just a remnant from a more permissive
BrickLink era.

No. They are just undecorated versions of items that were released. They definitely
exist, because they have to exist as a plain part first before being printed.
And some are just test run colors to test molds.

I am a bit confused, is this a used set, and you did not check to make sure that
it was complete before you listed it? Did you know it was complete, and the buyer
is saying it is not?
seems very fishy that the buyer is wanting replacement parts that are the expensive
ones that sends up red flags.
I would offer a refund as the other member suggested, try that first then if
not get the parts from bricklink dont break up a bunch of sets that will cost
you more in the long run.

If it were me I would buy the parts on BL and have them sent directly to the
buyer or offer a refund. That way you don't have to mess up your other sets.
|
Might be better to send what he has, then replenish from BrickLink sellers later.
That way he's not giving out a buyer's address to a third party and can
account for the parts' condition directly.

Well, BrickLink terms of service say you can’t transfer an account. You can
sell (or give away) your items, but not the account & feedback.
OTOH, your situation is particular (incorporation & between spouses… but OTOOH,
you’re still two different people (or three, if there’s a “corporate/juridical
person”)).
Try asking the Help Desk… but then, the answer may take some time.

I'd trust bricklink over brickset when it comes to Inventories. Brickset
imports them from other places.

It might be helpful to name the set? I don't see how one can troubleshoot
a problem, or even determine whether a problem exists, without this information.
Did you confirm that the BL and Brickset inventories differ?

You should check yourself to see if there are any differences in the databases.
