Thank you.

I have seen quite the spike in "we did not get our package" things.

One guy refused due to VAT
Another said he did not get his package when the track clearly says it was delivered.

No clue.

We have had around 10 of these in the past 3 months.

Maybe it is time to just go domestic?

Your thoughts?

***Communications in French***

I think I'm just banging my head against a wall.

I have regular communication with a nice buyer and collector. He wrote me:

Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu les boites 118-2 et 118-3 ??? Merci [his
name]

I answered:

...
Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas de
boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:

https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533

Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111.

Bien a vous


His response:

Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu une boite occasion du 118-2 et 118-3 ??
Car moi jamais. Connaissez vous quelqu’un qui en a une ??


My response:

Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas
de boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:

https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533

Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111."

Donc, comme le set 118-2 n'exist pas, personne ne l'a vu ne plus.
Le set 118-3 exist main il n'a pas de boite. Il etait juste emballe dans
un carton ou quelque chose pareil comme quelque chose que vous pouvez voire dans
le lien:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Donc, comme la boite de set 118-3 n'exist pas, personne ne 'a vu, personne
ne l'a et il n'y a pas de photo de la boite ne plus car on peut pas prendre
une photo de quelque chose qui n'a jamais existe 🙂


At this point, I am convinced either I did't explaing things properly or
I'm just banging my head against a wall.

Now, those who know French, please tell me if you were initially looking for
boxes of these two sets, what would you have understood from my responses and
if you would continue looking to find the boxes? What would you have answered
me after my two responses.

Once, a few of you French guys kindly reply to this, I write what his third message
was!

Is this considered a misprint LEGO? Does it have any value?

Thank you.

Are any other US Stores having shipping issues to international addresses lately?

We have had 3 lost in the last 60 days. No trace after it reaches country arrival.
All 3, the tracking info stops at that point.

Hey All, ive been a seller for a good few years but now im looking to do bricklink
as a full time job, i believe all the best ideas are stolen from other people.

ive got some Racco draws to start with, so what im asking is how you number things/also
what do you use to put numbers on the draws.

ive watched countless youtube vids talking about bricklink.

So if you all could show me how you organise/label your draws or drop me any
hints or tips.

I hope your all having a great day

Jim

Hello All,

I'm relatively new to Bricklink, so my apologies if this is in the wrong
section of the forum. (If so, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me
to the correct section.)

 
Set No: 7637  Name: Farm
* 
7637-1 (Inv) Farm
597 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2009
Sets: Town: City: Farm

I recently acquired a 7637 Farm that's mostly complete. Unfortunately, while
there are very few stickers in the set, it seems that most of them are either
misaligned so they overlap two bricks, or placed on the wrong brick.

The most serious cases are two of the cylinder quarters, which have the ends
of their stickers hanging off the edge of the brick by almost a full stud. The
adhesive backing seems to have attracted dust and lint. Fortunately, these are
the only stickers that have lost any stickiness.

The support crane stands have their stickers swapped - so the arrows are pointing
the wrong way. But luckily, these appear to be perfectly intact.

Is there any method that I can use to safely remove/clean/re-stick stickers?
Also, is it necessary or worthwhile to put some sort of sealer (Mod Podge, etc.)
over the top of stickers?

Hi All, I'm building CHIMA 70149 and an illustrated brick is not in the
bricklink All Items catalogue so I can't even order it - I've checked
that the item number is correct - 6030442 - in the leaflet and other sites but
am stumped as to know how to put it on my wanted list, any suggestions?
Thanks greenbricabrac

The reporter let me know that the video was released on Friday, but I forgot
to post it until one of my buyers messaged me that he had seen it.

Was thinking more about the doomed sets in the unreleased catagory, and went
for a second look.

I clicked on a item and noticed that the banner on the top said, "This Item
was Likely Not Released".

Key word for me "LIKELY".
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.

I recently sold a set, and the buyer came back saying there are SEVERAL missing
pieces. Those are all LARGE pieces (not real cheap). He also said he checked
inventory against BrickSet (Not BrickLink). I'd like to give the buyer the
benefit of the doubt, but when there are 20 large missing parts (Including a
linear actuator), I'm rather not sure.

We have been on BL for 18 years and selling for all of those 18 years, why is
BL now wanting us to do a seller verification? We were hacked and we are fixing
things as we go and we found the verification? Is this new and why would it
come up after 18 years?

Is it a new thing to require a code to leave feedback for a seller. It says
to access my seller features. I am a buyer, if this is a new requirement people
will stop leaving feedback. I am very disinclined to deal with this.

We have just realized that someone has added sets to our inventory that we do
not have and never had.

Set in questions is 10123 Cloud City, We DO NOT have this set for sale, it is
a fake listing added to our inventory.

If you are using a modern smartphone to satisfy picture requests, it is very
likely that the pictures contain location data as to precisely where you were
located when you took the picture. Unless you turn that off, or strip the EXIF
data, you are telling the recipient where you store your inventory.

Something to keep in mind.

I have received two separate "Login From New Device" emails in the last
six hours. I am well aware of all the hacking attempts and fraudulent sites pretending
to be Bricklink out there.

Both emails game from "support@policyking.net". I don't believe either
email was legit and I have ignored both so far. Still, I did login briefly last
night and thought that I should ask if they were legit incase they were.

I still doubt their legitimacy and logged in from a "bricklink.com" shortcut
saved in my browser favorites.

I apologize to the forum for spamming, I am just trying to get an admins attention
and protect my livelihood.

ADMIN,

NEW INFO 2: I believe this was done so that I cannot send the request to change
emails as it now says there is already an account with that email.

NEW INFO 1: I got 2 more weird emails. One was confirmation for signing up
to BrickLink under the username par16 asking for email confirmation. another
was a login from a new device. I did not click either.


I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times
phishing email and the hacker got access to my account.


The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload
expensive sets to my store. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Hacker, continues to delete all my messages, re-open my store, add inventory
etc.

Hello folks! Hope you are doing well)
I've looked at ~50 stores and I didn't see any social media links on
the Terms&Conditions page (except for YouTube). I guess most of you have some.

I would like to get some inspiration for my builds, as well as to learn more
about selling/buying on Bricklink.

It would be nice if you can share some Instagram/TikTok/YouTube blogs. Thanks!
