| Hey everyone,
I'm after a part No. 6147448 from set 75150 (star wars set)
Was wondering if anyone also has the sticker set to go with this part??
Really just need the wings stickers but don't mind buying the full set.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
Paul

If you have a video photos I'd love to see them.

I don't - yet, but someone else asked, so I can make that happen. A video
would be easier because you need to make a small adjustment for tiles. I need
to get about 15,000 pieces off the sorting table and I'll put something together.
Meanwhile, I came here to point out that LEGO themselves sent me too many parts
on an order this week. It's better than an under count, but I'll still
let them know for their own inventory purposes.

Yes, but the thermal paper isn't free, Einstein!
|
Last I checked thermal paper isn’t “ink/toner”
| | Ah, and you need paper and toner sometimes if you do real business - unlike clowns
like you.
Ha!
|
besides how I used to do taxes with my old method I never use ink
or toner at all for anything that stuff is expensive so if it ain’t important
it’s best to avoid it

60 lots is no big deal if you're organized. ~ 4 lots per minute = 15 minutes
+ packing up the order. Say 20 minutes in total. $20 for 20 minutes or $60/hour
isn't bad for low value parts.
|
 Because these parts cost you nothing and magically appeared already sorted
in your stock?
With a 2:1 return on cost, those $20 are actually $10.
And those 20 min are more like 40 min if you took as long to sort and store them
as it takes you to pick them.
So your $60/hour are now down to $15/hour.
|
Then double the time to stock and pick because you've a large shop, with
1000s drawers and hundred square meters to walk.
Then add time to manage everything, research and development, cost of packaging,
going to the post office, replying to buyers communication, toner or ink, stickers,
paper, tape, packaging materials, client zip bags, stock bags...
Then add accounting costs (here 2500€/year), insurance, legal costs (company
taxes) and of course eventual taxes on profit, power bill, internet (2 different
here, in case of), PCs, printers, routers, cables (all has to be replaced at
one moment), software licences...
Remember 3-6% PayPal fees, ah and the roughly 3% BrickLink fees of course, count
the lost orders you've to refund, various extra costs like Fuel Surcharge
we've here and which varies (and can't count), etc.
So many things that you end up to $5/hour.
| | But then, it’s selling LEGO, not pushing rocks around
|
... and then you realize you may have end up picking the wrong one 
Tonight we'll have a (super) rare KFC, yay!!!
We'll be soooooo happy !!!
Until we'll realize the 19 yrs girl serving earns more than us.

| | How many mistakes in an order do you all tolerate before contacting a seller?
|
Zero. As a seller, I don't accept any errors on my part, seeking 100% accuracy.
As a buyer, I reach out to the seller even with small issues. Even if not seeking
a replacement or refund, it may help them become better sellers (or help straighten
their inventories).
