Rather not, Milissa.
There are fairly common scenarios in which a seller might consider setting a
sent order status to “Completed” Just a few…
1) Buyer leaves positive feedback, but doesn’t change the order status from “Shipped”
|
Just file it.
| 2) Buyer messages seller, thanking and/or offering praise of service or product
without changing the status.
|
Just file it.
| 3) Buyer and seller are in communication over an order issue, which concludes
with the buyer expressing to the seller, their complete satisfaction with the
transaction. Here, the seller might not wish to task the already tasked buyer
further, by asking them to change the status and rather takes care it themself.
|
Just file it.
|
There are a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t care, or don’t
care to know about order status 'duties’ and just wanna buy LEGO, that’s
it. Which is fine. The changing of order status by the seller simply helps a
vendor clean things up a bit, to stay organized. I does for me anyway.
|
The only order duty a buyer has is to pay. After that is the seller shipping
it and nothing else, as a commerce platform there is no further need to
do anything else.
|
But just an opinion based on my experience as a BL vendor, and very obviously
not that some other sellers.

That threshold is for intra-EU sales excluding domestic. So all of EU but Spain.
Otherwise, each EU country has its own thresholds and procedures and statuses.
The domestic VAT threshold can go from €0 to €90,800. AFAICT, Spain’s threshold
is €0. So every professional should get a VAT number in Spain.

(Note that many EU countries have governmental pages in multiple languages… except
France 🤷♂️)
But as you’ll have been in Spain for many months before opening, you’ll have
time to ask a real local expert

Wow amazing!! Thanks a lot. It will be a good start for me. Getting an accountant
is also a very good idea. That’s probably what i will do. I’m so unfamiliar
with all this since i didn’t need to register here in Quebec as i didn’t reach

I’m really looking forward to moving. I spent 15 years in Quebec. It was great

A few years ago the threshold to register was if you surpassed the annual minimum

I notice you still have these item listed in your store with similar high quantities
but slightly different prices so I'm thinking it could be that Bricklink
doesn't like you duplicating such high quantity listings possibly for two
reasons:-
A) If you search for those items by highest quantity you would appear multiple
times at the very top thereby it could be deemed as listing manipulation and
at the detriment to other sellers who also have high quantities of these parts
but end up pushed further down the list
B) Just one of those listings has enough quantity in itself before anyone would
ever need to purchase from your other duplicate listings and therefore Bricklink
may be deeming this listing practice as unnecessary and clogging up the catalog
I have a feeling it may be different if you were listing duplicate times for
much smaller quantities with these varying prices as these will sell out within
a much more reasonable timeframe and have more purpose
I could be wrong but those are the reasons I take from it....

He just relisted them and priced using whatever formula they use.
I think what happened here is retaliation from another store in Spain that had
thousands of items like pins and plates 1x1 for 0.40€ each to grow their parts

I know the owner of Brikomania and they sure have that inventory.

New left shell has part number 5830.
What was the point of introducing a new mold for a perfectly fine part?
|
|
As far as I know, the old version should be cheaper to produce. It has thinner
walls, with the "supports" being there to increase the thickness where
necessary in order to still make contact with studs.
I find it strange that they made a separate ID for this change though; although
they did introduce 3556, basically 3001 with thick walls and no middle supports...
which I guess is also identical to an older edition of 3001 :/ Different times,
different qualifiers for what's a new mold?
As a general trend, they also seem to have moved a lot of parts from 5-digit
IDs to 4-digit recently without any significant changes?
|
I think it is related to the new material they are using to produce the parts
recently.

The description for this part says that it can have either a blocked open stud
or a hollow stud. To me, having one entry for a part that appears to have two
versions is a problem. For sellers, there is no way to list the two variations
separately, and for buyers there is no way to know what version they will be
receiving in an order.
This can be a problem if a buyer needs one version, but receives the other. Please
create a second catalog entry so sellers can differentiate the two versions in
their store listings. I would recommend the following...
3688a - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Blocked Open Stud
3688b - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Hollow Stud

Hi there! Are you running a string through the stud? That is the only way the
variant could matter for what you are building

This is what I am using the slope for. It's the fighter plane MOC I mentioned
a few days ago. The slope forms the nose and I want to insert the following part
into the tipe to form nose probe of sorts.
* | | 58176 Bar with Light Bulb Cover (Bionicle Barraki Eye) Parts: Bar |
I don't know if the Bionicle Barraki Eye will properly fit in the tip of
the slope if it isn't a hollow stud.
|
Both versions of the part are a Hollow Stud, just that in one the bottom is a
bar from side to side and in the other the bottom is all uniformly plain.

If you are searching starting in the color guide page the bottom head will not
appear because it needs to be in an inventory with an assigned color to be shown
there.

I think this is one of the reasons of the merge of heads, they will create new
minifigure entries for the ones that came in both solid stud and hollow, so all
are linked.

After I added the reserved lot, on the My Bricklink page, the link that says
"1 Lot in my store inventory not yet notified" showed up. In theory
sending out a notification should only email the member who I reserved the lot
for, but also in theory he already received a notification when I added the lot
to my store.
Is the ability to send out a notification for a reserved lot sort of a function
that's effectively doubled in the system?

The send notifications page only works if the user has it in a WL and notifications
enabled for that item. Else it will return it was sent to 0 users.
As far as I know you don't get any email or message, what you get is a icon
on My BL page that links to the items in the store reserved. You can check how
it is displayed by reserving a lot for your username.

For as long as alternate IDs are in the database.
The site can be smart and recognize them when it reads them in older files.
Yes, the field (as we see it on the part pages) is simple text and would need
to be normalized (and reversed: alt ID » correct ID/part, for now it’s part »
alt ID).
But the site already knows how to convert from LDraw and LXF files. So there’s
already a conversion table (or two) somewhere to convert LDraw’s IDs and LDD’s
IDs to BL’s IDs.
And while they are at it, add XML as a full-citizen file format, like LDR, LXF,
BSX: one that can be uploaded as a file, not copy-pasted.

Exactly...

Both PayPal and Stripe allow you to pay with a card, but that only works if the

I do believe BrickLink has a lot of potential, but, for whatever reason (lack

Rebrickable is correct. Part 48723 is no longer in production and has been replaced
with 68888 and 3803. 48723 has an axle hole on one side and a pin hole on the
other side. Most sets require the axle hole, so 68888 can be used as an alternate
part. But in set 71043 the pin hole is needed, therefore later copies of that
set probably come with 3803. Maybe that is already the case, but we need proof
from a sealed set before we can add the alternate part.

It is available in PaB since 18/01/23 so it could be that was designed for a

If you read my post carefully, you'll notice that I am referring to the diversity
of the BrickLink member base (there's no such thing as the "average

The catalog is a mere reflection of the member base.
The current catalog structure, as well as many of the variants in question, date
back to the early days of the site (or at least before I joined), when BrickLink
was just a community of AFOLs.
But BrickLink is more of an ecommerce marketplace now; the majority of current

How are you creating the Wanted List? Regarding the merge you would need to just

Can't the image be accepted and stay just here:

| Had this first image cross my path today, a supposedly non-glittery Avohkii.
It reminded me of a damaged one I had in my sad bin, which had a chunk of its
crest missing its trademark shininess. I had to mess with a bunch of other stripping
chemicals anyway (bonus pic of my shiny new dechromed Light Grey Hau) so I figured
I'd chuck this in some chems and see what happened.
Evapo-Rust was unreactive, unsurprisingly. I only used that because I knew it
could strip galvanisation off screws and I had the ex-chrome Hau to test (also
no reaction). Simple Green concentrate was similarly unreactive, but stripped
the Hau perfectly when used with the ultrasonic cleaner. I did manage to get
a positive reaction with IPA, and was able to get the glitter layer to go tacky.
I scraped off the majority of the central crest with my thumbnail as a proof
of concept sorta thing. I can confirm that it's just a layer over top. There's
a milky white transparent mask underneath. I feel cheated.
I've currently got it sitting overnight in a bath of acetone-based nail polish
remover (hardware store was closed, supermarket was not lmao) and will strip
the glitter 'varnish' off entirely. I'd love to know exactly what
this glitter layer is made of, if anyone has any insight? It might make removing
it a little easier.
The next question here is: what colour actually is this? I was under the impression
117 Glitter Trans-Clear was plastic with embedded glitter, not just a coating.
Would this just be 40 Trans-Clear + shiny varnish?
