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.

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.

60 lots is no big deal if you're organized. ~ 4 lots per minute = 15 minutes

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.

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).

It was especially helpful hearing from the various sellers saying they would

Also, that put a smile on my face to hear about the buyer that informed Ziegelmeister

One observation that surprises me from reading this thread is just how many sellers
count and list their entire inventory on Bricklink down to the very last part?
I guess a business seller may feel the need to do this or the seller may already
know the exact quantity they have after parting out sets themselves and sorting/counting
as they go but generally speaking I feel it’s more important to be precise over
counting parts for an order rather than for inventory and by that I mean sometimes
it might be easier to only list part of your inventory at a time, that way you
can estimate the quantity listed in your store without feeling the need to count
it all
For instance if you estimate you have around 500 of a part. Maybe only list 400
and then worry about accurately counting and updating your store inventory as
you start to get down to the last 100 or so!

Also people mention human error and that's fine since we all make mistakes
but there's usually more to it than that since 1 or 2 errors in every 50-100
orders may very well be acceptable as human error but 1 or 2 errors in every
5-10 orders well that's more a case of carelessness and these types of mistakes
usually come about from cutting corners and not wanting to give the counting
process the required time and care it needs in order to be accurate. If low value
parts are not worth a sellers time to count carefully and accurately then that's
fine but then they also shouldn't mind over counting by an extra 5 or 10
pieces to be sure the buyer isn't left short!

Either way for those wanting to be more accurate I'd recommend using a bun
baking tray and counting five per section, Any section short a piece will stand
out a mile with just the quickest of glances!

As a seller I would rather someone tell me, reach out and let me know something
is wrong, even if it is one piece. I know I'll try to make things right,
and there will be less bad feelings.

Also, I have missed things even when I have printed out the invoice and checked
things off, however I was in the middle of re-organizing my entire inventory,
I just finished a few doubles at my primary job, and I'm super ADHD. Hey,
maybe I'm a crap seller and this gig is not super great for me.

Either way, I'd rather know. If a seller doesn't want to know that they

With respect, I do not agree with your opinion here at all - it’s a pretty harsh
generalization to say that a seller with no lot limits, who is willing to pick
a $20 order with 60 lots, is usually unprofessional and disorganized. Many sellers
can pick orders quickly, efficiently and accurately. I really don’t see how you
can equate a seller with no lot limits - or even a large lot order - to inaccuracy.

I agree with randyf: find sellers with excellent reputations for accuracy, favourite
them and shop among those.

These sellers aren't usually going to be professional, because they don't
know how to value their time. Not valuing their time correctly leads to other
problems, like a messy disorganized inventory, a delay in getting orders out,
incorrect variations and colors etc.

For comparison, the error rate when I buy from sellers is around 2%, and the
mistake is usually minor and is part of a large quantity (999 instead of 1000
plates).

Like most things in life, you get what you pay for.

From now on, I am gonna tolerate many mistakes from my local restaurant:

Last night in my local restaurant (for pick-up) with the guy with who I make
many jokes and teases:
I ordered food A ($19).
He: It takes 6-7 minutes.
...some conversation skipped...
Me: Few weeks ago, you made a mistake: I ordered "C" ($12) but you gave
me "D" (also $12).
He: We have the power of making decisions!
Me: That is a great power. I wonder why you don't accidentally give me "B"
($34) when I order "A" ($19). That only happened with "C" vs.
"D".
Few minutes later he brought the food and placed them in a bag. I went home and
opened the bag and food container. It was "B"!

For egregious cases the decision is easy, but I just received yet another order
leaving me with a frustrating decision to make. I understand quantity errors,
but what gets to me are the missing lots that occur in roughly 50% of all orders
that have missing lots that bother me.

In this case, I probably will not say anything, because only 2 of 60 lots are
missing, they are not minifigures, and because I can get them from Lego.com for
$4 total. However, the decision is still annoying because one of the lots is
for right wedges to match left wedges that did get included.

Notes:
-Yes, I have tried ordering fewer lots, but it seems you have to keep it under
20 lots in order to prevent most seller mistakes. Those smaller orders are usually
not cost effective for me after factoring in shipping costs.
-If you receive an order containing a printout with a hand-written check mark
next to each lot, consider favoriting that seller. Those sellers are rare and
almost never make mistakes.

I write the seller for a refund if the missing/damage is worth more than $1.00.
Otherwise I don't worry about it.

Ohhh it's soooo complex!

When I made some furnitures or home projects, even if I needed 19 screws I'd
buy a bag of 25 or why not a 250g box of them.
I would have never bought 19 exactly.

Right now on BrickLink and elsewhere, wanted-lists are made by computers and
are "perfect" (to some extent).

Reality is different; you may receive 19 screws or say 258 tiles, but you may
lose one in your own carpet, or damage it.

So the whole idea to order 258, receive and place 258 is a bit biased IMHO.

Some orders are 3000 or 10000 parts, whith many of them counted by an human being
who basically counts every day - just imagine.

Which is also why, in my Country anyway, nuts & bolts shops won't sell you
19 screws, but by bags of 25, or per bow, or by weight like 1 lbs.

We've to tolerate the human part of an human job, and requiring 3707 little
parts should show some tolerance.

Personnaly I don't care about missing parts or even lots.

I prefer to know if something's missing, and have a little compensation -
any kind, like coupon, partial refund, or a couple more of another lot...

Even if missing, and in a general meaning, I really don't care for small
bits - like less than $1 or 1€.

I'd be you, I'd notice the seller if something's missing.

But again, and IMHO, many times it's not important, especially considering
the hours of an human work an order can take.

HTH?

In regards to errors we have found close to 100% pulling accuracy upto about
100 lots (our lot limit), and a single error occurs about every three months
or 100 orders.

Mistakes are never "OK".

But they happen. When handling thousands of parts in thousands of variations,
human fallibility means mistakes will happen from time to time.

Because of this, what becomes most important is how the mistakes is dealt with,
i.e. what the seller does to try to fix the mistake, so that the buyer has an
enjoyable and satisfying experience.

As a seller, I hope that I never make a mistake, of course. But I also hope that
if I do make a mistake the buyer will contact me and let me know about it. Two
reasons what this is important.

1. Sellers want to fix mistakes, and make things right. They can't offer
a resolution to a problem they don't know about.

2. Mistakes on orders, especially in parts, result in inventory errors. Inventory
errors beget more mistakes on orders, and more unhappy buyers. If I sent the
wrong number, or wrong color of a particular part, it may be no big deal to the
buyer who just lets it slide. But next time someone orders, I would be going
nuts trying to figure out why I don't have the part that person ordered.

Please, always inform sellers you found a mistake. I always value when people
do this for me, and I appreciate how amazingly patient and understanding my buyers
are.

None.

If it is a glaring issue (e.g. used sold as new), I will ask for a refund.

If it is something simple (e.g. a missing part), I will just send a friendly
notice to the seller so that they can adjust their inventory accordingly. When
I do this, sellers have always been very appreciative.

However, I rarely get errors in orders. Order from stores you know are good and
keep them on a short list to check when it comes time to purchase something again.

For egregious cases the decision is easy, but I just received yet another order

If the mistakes are only a few cents worth of items then I don't bother.
Doesn't have much to do with the number of lots - I don't tend to order
larger quantities, but I've definitely fulfilled such orders!

Even then, I'd still inform (without complaining) the seller about it. At
least they know they have made an error and can correct their inventory and hopefully
avoid making the error again. I don't think informing has to be complaining.
I've told a seller before that a couple of cents part was the wrong one or
was missing but don't worry about sending the right one or refunding. Especially
if it is the wrong part, they might have a lot more of the same part incorrectly
inventoried and will make the same mistake again and again until told about it.

It helps keep inventory accurate, especially if a buyer was sent too many of
something. For larger stores, they won't know there's a performance problem
with an employee unless buyers speak up.

I was a seller for many years and if you feel like not telling them because you
are nice, it is a nice sentiment, but it may not actually be nice. A seller
who makes a mistake with your order now has incorrect inventory and may not notice
it before that in turn causes ANOTHER order error. It can be difficult to figure
out where things went wrong. So a good expression of niceness is to start you
message to them nicely, but send the message.

Hi and welcome

Use the Wanted Items tab on the Buy page (mark (2) on first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).

If the box “Show excluded items” is NOT ticked, the items that are “selected”
/ in the pre-cart(s) will be hidden.
If the box is ticked, they will still show but they’ll have a quantity (number
just below the image) of zero.

You can also see what a shop has without selecting them: just click on the line
of the store in the list (not its name, not the select button, but somewhere
in the line) and the quantity of each item will be changed to N/M and there’ll
be a colour frame around the item (green = full quantity, orange = some but not
enough).

already inconvenienced you and therefore it only right that you inconvenience
them in return else there is no incentive for a seller to improve on their service
and attention to detail.

As a seller myself I know how costly and time consuming it can be to respond
to and rectify mistakes and issues therefore you soon learn that it better to
try and get things correct to begin with and that's the message we should
try to convey to all that sell here!

Frustratingly I often find that if you buy out all the remaining stock of an
item shown in a sellers store quite often they will just give you whatever they
have left assuming its correct quantity but without wanting to bother to check,
this often means a buyer ends up doing the counting job of the seller which seems
wrong to me especially since a buyer may feel the need to count for a second
time just to make sure its not them that's counted incorrectly!? (After all
you would assume a seller has sent correct amount!!)

Since accuracy is important I actually think Bricklink should implement an Accuracy
rating that is separate from main feedback where after leaving positive, Neutral
of Negative the buyer can also leave 1-5 stars for things like accuracy, condition
etc.. else how else do we improve the overall service here and keep sellers on
their toes?

How many mistakes in an order do you all tolerate before contacting a seller?

Zero!

If I order a set consisting of 300 parts and only a few common parts are missing,
I won't bother. Mistakes happen.

I guess I make one mistake over 100 lots.
As a buyer, most my orders are very small, like 3-10 lots and only one mistake
in the last 15-20 orders happened: from a friendly seller with very high feedback
rate in UK.

I don’t believe so.

You need to use the Buy page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
(Hover over the white heart-shaped Want icon on top of almost every page and
select Buy.
Or open a Wanted List and choose Buy All.)

See the help page for more info: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445

Alternatively is there a way to get a second option to stop it defaulting to

Just dislike the seller that it’s defaulting to and that should work.

You can do that from the store, through the “Favorite Stores” dropdown on the
top right.

Note: Sellers don’t know who stoplists them.

For commercial or business accounts, the restriction is still in place, I believe.
Ukrainian personal PayPal account holders are able to send with some restrictions,
but only receive via what they've termed as "Expansion of Services"
in the updated contract. Essentially, what we know as "Friends and Family"
type of transaction, with it's limits

I don't think there's a legal restriction, but PayPal as a Company is
free to determine if it's too complicated, too expensive or too risky...
and then deciding to temporarily not provide their service there.

Even if payment service would be possible, PayPal may also NOT provide Buyer
Protection when the Country is in war/such events.

All this's probably in their fine terms somewhere...

So buy wisely, and communicate with the to shops there before anything.

It's because you browsed too much BrickLink for today, you're "blocked"

One shop page of 50 lots makes already 100 or 150 requests, the limit of 5000
is easily reached.

Hello Everyone

I want to expand the station platform to it runs the length of the train and

platform. Does anyone have all the parts i would need?

Thanks

Hi,

The problem with asking this way is that:
— We don’t know what’s in those bags exactly.
— The only ones who would know are sellers who have the set still in one spot,
who want to sell the parts, and who have not yet distributed the parts into their
inventories. Rare beasts.

The best for you would be to find the list of parts you need (not funny to do)
and put them in a Wanted list (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1 )
and then search for sellers who have the parts with the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).

Good luck

Hi,

I was going through BrickLink yesterday and came upon some very good deal - maybe
too good to be true. I know that some ID verification if being done before someone
can have selling privilege but I wanted to ask the community if "fraud store"
are a thing and if yes how to confront them? On one hand I don't want to
have to go through a claim process if I don't receive goods and on the other
hand I would be disappointed to miss an opportunity...

P.S: to be more detailed - I saw two store created the same day with pretty similar
set being sold at (very) low prices. Both seller made only one purchase on the
same day but to two different stores (I trust to get selling privilege) and then
left same feedback...

Thanks,
Thibaud

I saw it too, and it smells like scam. I´m monitoring the accounts to see if
there is negative feedback or not.
Regards Gerhard

You have a choice:

Do not buy from them. No hassle to you, but you miss out if genuine.

Buy, but pay using a secure form of paypal with buyer protection. Maybe some
hassle to file a complaint later, you don't miss out if genuine. I had to
do this with a store that turned out to be a fraud recently. It wasn't that
hard. A few clicks at PayPal and filing a NSS here.

Buy and use a form of payment with no buyer protection. You get the deal if genuine,
you lose out if fraud.

Re: How to exclude shops from want lists

I`m not sure if that function even works.

You can work around this problem by:
- click on want in the menu
- in the dark blue menu bar click buy
- on the left check/click the wanted list you want to include, and click apply
- in the middle open store filters (if not already open then it says collapse)
- adjust the pull down menu`s to the european union, and only european union
stores will come up.

If you go to "buy" on your wanted list, you can exclude dislike stores.

Hi everyone,

I keep fumbling on a theoretically easy-to-solve thing, but apparently it's
beyond my capabilities.

I have a want-list I'd like to convert in bricks. Every time I go to the
Easy Buy button, I'm prompted to a Thailand shop as supplier. Nothing against
Thailand, and the shop has a lot of good feedback, but it's absolutely not
practical (I'm in Italy and customs and shipping will kill me). So, I thought
there should be a way to let's say buy from the European Union, but apparently
it's not working.

This is what I did:

- opened the want list
- clicked on more options
- then from the dropdown menu, I checked in the rightmost column, under region,
ship from European Union (both as "Hide" and "Show", whatever
they mean)
- clicked apply
- moved out of the want list to the main page where all my want-lists are
- clicked on Easy Buy
- and voilà, Thailand shop returned

Can anyone kindly point me at the mistakes that I might have been making?

Thanks in advance

Thank you.

Click on the heart for "Want" then choose buy. It will give you the option
of selecting a region. Then select your wanted list on the left and search.
