A new brick would be interesting for the high end.

What Lego color for such a special brick designation, can you envision?

-Thanks

I know the question wasn't pointed at me, but Metallic Gold first came to
mind, but might look too much like the low-class yellow. Perhaps Metallic Silver.
Some special color.

Or the "Chrome" colors? Chrome Black is extremely special and beautiful imho.
But perhaps too serious. How about one of the other Chrome colors?

Can I only sell instruction manuals for retired sets?

YES.

You can sell instruction books -- even from current sets.
But they must be original books printed by LEGO and not reproductions.

You can also sell instructions for custom sets designed by you or with authorization
from the original designer (no stolen designs).

If instruction books is ALL you wish to sell, that is fine, too.

Good Luck, Have Fun, and sell lots of stuff.

Please add the alternate number "28922" to part 90509. I have it in hand, and
28922 is molded into it.

Thanks,
Miles (C0lsanders_)

90509 Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil

The skis with numbers 28922 and 18744 are 1mm longer in length than mold number
90509, 48mm to 47mm, respectively. Although the three have their studs in the
same location from the rear of the ski, the hand ridges are slightly higher up
and the pointed ends are longer on the newer molds.

I will consider a split of this part into 90509 and 18744/28922.

Yes, that is correct, it is not the normal way it is done, this is done instantly
instead of 2 - 3 business days. I just wanted to make people aware of it if they
use this option, especially the no maximum on the fee now, for business accounts.

More importantly, I wanted more eyes on the updates linked in my OP to ensure
we am not missing something significant.

Regular transfer for me is always 1 business day. Didn't see anything else
that would warrant concern.

I will say I think it is important to offer PP and Stripe as some people feel
strongly about one of them.

Ima start siphoning all my lego profits into ebay and paypal stock. Then whenever

That wedge doesn't seem to be existing in dark gray color,
Brick 2 x 2 x 3 seems to be existing in two sets in dark gray color, you can
check if there are additional distinctive parts in your bulk lot
75 2 x 2 x 3 slope (if I'm seeing right) will tell it's age if it has
solid studs or hollow studs... according to catalog it doesn't exist in dark
gray color with solid studs...

ps: I might be wrong in any or all of the above guesses since it's just 1.5

Comments from Submitter:
This is the non-US version of this set, also sold under set number 2650-1 in the US. I will attach a photo of a listing of this set that I found online, it is from a UK seller.

Note: There seems to be an inconsistency issue with these cows on Bricklink. Not only are some of these cows under 'Rust' but a number of these are under 'Dark Orange', which was not around until 1994. I have suggested moving many of these cows from the 70s and 80s to 'Rust' as a way to circumvent having to create a new color on Bricklink for TLG 13 Red Orange. After all, if some cows are already under BL Rust, then why not move the rest over?

There was already an old request to add the Rust Cow, sorry!

Comments from Submitter:
Recently bought this set complete with original box which shows inventory and quantity of parts. A picture of this set with these changes can be seen on the internet or I could send photos.

This set is the same as the USA version

2650-1 (Inv) Farm
61 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1980
Sets: DUPLO: DUPLO, Town: Farm

I found several images on the internet of both sets boxed. All parts are the
same. The set has indeed 7 blue bricks. All animals have solid black eyes and
the color of the cow is rust. Box front, as well as parts list on box, as well
as parts pictured show indeed the yellow frame with door, instead of 4253c04.
But I also found sets with this red frame. One of them is for sale on Bricklink.

This set was produced 1980-1984. Giving the timeline of parts I will remove the
dark orange cow and keep 4253c04 as alternate for both sets.

Hey

I wonder if someone else have problems with Paypal.

I am a new seller on BrickLinks and just a couple weeks ago started to take orders
from other EU countries. When I got my first order and payment by paypal, it
almost locked my paypal account. I had to deliver alot of information to them
to get my money.

- A picture of my ID
- A copy of the invoice
- A picture of the Lego I sold
- A copy of the receipt of the payment of delivery
- A copy of receipt/invoice where i purchased my lego
- And I had to explain for them why I sold Lego
(I think there was something more I had to provide to them)

Ok after this i could finally transfer the money to my bank account.

The second payment worked just fine

The third payment was placed on hold (reserved money) for 21 days. They told
me to give them the tracknumber of package and what service I used. Didnt work,
money is still on hold.

The fourth payment is again on hold.

Does anyone else have these problems with PayPal? has anyone solved all and actually
have Paypal workin just fine?

One intriguing question - how a buyer could lower the prices of the bricks in
a checkout (no coupons, no tier prices) vs the ones we still have on offer? Is
this some kind of system error?

I mean, buyer bought 1x2 DBG bricks, eg. 70 pieces for price 0,15 USD each, whereas
the other bricks that still left in my store costs 0,20 USD each (no price change
in the meantime, nada). How is that possible then?

any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

It probably is be VAT related. Once you activate a VAT in your store this is
how pricing goes:

Base store prices include 23% VAT. Prices shown to buyers located inside the
European Union include VAT, outside the European Union excluding VAT depending
on the buyer's country.

YES, the thing is that a buyer is from non-EU country and it's a VAT-related
topic. Thank you guys for all hints and final resolution of doubts!

"Find Items in My Inventory"

Topic:

I assume I must have imagined this, but I thought there was an option somewhere
within the Wanted Lists section to search your own inventory for items, to the
extent that I'm sure I've seen a link/button captioned "Find Items in
My Inventory".

Now that I have my first opportunity to use it, I can't find it anywhere.
I can see an option within Inventory to show items on wanted wists, but this
doesn't show which list or allow filtering for "have" quantities.

Alternatively, is there an option I'm missing to search a set inventory for
items already on a wanted list, similar to the option to search against an order
number? This would allow the same results for me.

When I look at the price guide it shows 50 sold @ €14.12
maybe it shows the higher price for buyers outside the EU ?

I agree it should be what the buyer paid no matter all the other stuff. If they
were $17.66 I would not of bought them so now it appears I paid that even though
I did not. It may lead others to think they are selling for more.

Copper was only for the noble Huna and Komau. You can still find those.

Bionicle Copper != Copper

Yeah, but it's the only Copper in Bionicle.

A 22.3% difference… looks like VAT (and some, or minus some).

You said “not Euro,” but still from EU, no?

If seller is VAT-registered, their prices show VAT in the PG, whether the VAT
was collected or not (and it’s not collected for non-EU buyers).

(Works for UK too.)

It is in your store settings. Go to My Store , top of the page, click on Settings
(under Account). Then click Management and under store currency , change it back
to whatever you had before. Then click "save changes" at bottom of page . I
would then check your store to see if the changes took place. If not, try clearing

Please make changes to the following inventory:

218066 (Inv) Knights' Kingdom Das Spiel (Ravensburger - German) with 5 Minifigures
Gear: Game: Castle: Knights Kingdom II

* Change 1 Part {Copper to Reddish Gold} 48495 Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Greatsword Angular
* Change 1 Part {Flat Silver to Pearl Light Gray} 48495 Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Greatsword Angular

Comments from Submitter:
Pre-2010 Silver = Pearl Light Gray.

I will follow this post with a photo, but it is quite grainy. Is it safe to assume that every other version of this puzzle includes Reddish Gold swords if this one does? These aren’t exactly the easiest to find.

To change the last copper swords I would like to see definitive proof from at
least one original game/set (language version doesn't matter).
They are not that rare here in Europe, I'm sure we will find one sooner or
later.

Yeah, it is a tricky area. I was unpacking an order yesterday and got this head
(new). It looks perfectly fine by itself, but stick it on a torso neck (or here
putting a fingernail in the fault to show it) and you can see it is badly cracked
even though it is new.

Luckily it is a cheap head so not a big deal and I wouldn't bother the seller
with it but if it was an expensive part, should the seller refund for sending
a damaged part if there was no way they could know it was damaged. You have to
use it to know. A minifig head should surely last more than a fraction of a second
when assembled, so it was obviously substandard.

That makes it a head dual-sided on one side?

Maybe I should sell it as a custom Two-face from Batman.

Only thing I can think of is that you had 2 lots in your store at different prices

You can check if the Lot ID is the same, hover with the mouse on the image of
the item inside the order and it shows the lot id.

Looks fine to me, at least for UK parts orders. Strangely I had a couple of parts
in my cart already, presumably intending to look around properly at some point,
and it shows them as 2nd class large letter at £2.10.

* Add 3 Part 766c28 Light Gray Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 28 Studs (22cm) Long with 2 Light Gray Electric, Connector, 2-Way Male Squared Narrow Long with Center Post

Comments from Submitter:
Just parted-out this set. These wires added by axaday are the same as those I request to add to this set.
For example, the length of wire alone for 766c23 is about 18-19cm. I compare it with 766c28 from my personal collection and they are almost of the same length. As a note, the length of wires were never that exact. I have tested wires of 5 copies of 7722 from my personal collection and the length of wires of max length and min length were about 2cm different.

You want to change a 23 studs wire to a 28 studs wire, saying that your wire
is (also) about 18-19 cm. But 28 studs is 22.4 cm and 23 studs is 18.4 cm

You say the difference between minimum and maximum length is about 2cm.
Which means:
- a 22.4 cm wire (28 studs) can be 21.4 - 23.4 cm
- a 18.4 cm wire (23 studs) can be 17.4 - 19.4 cm

Personally I think a difference of 1cm either way, is already a big difference.

Could you please check all 3 wires in your set 9605-2 and measure the
length of the complete wire in centimeters (so including the pieces that
are in the connectors)?

Reading also the other post of this set, you are saying your wires in set 9605-2
are

766c96 (Inv) Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 96 Studs Long with 2 Light Gray Electric, Connector, 2-Way Male Squared Narrow Long with Center Post (x466c96 / 766c01)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector {Light Gray}

766c28 (Inv) Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 28 Studs (22cm) Long with 2 Light Gray Electric, Connector, 2-Way Male Squared Narrow Long with Center Post
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector {Light Gray}

you say almost about 18-19 cm

765c96 (Inv) Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 96 Studs Long with 4 Light Gray Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Squared (x466c96 / 765c01)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector {Light Gray}

Thanks,
Diana

The 3 wires above and the 3 wires in the inventory are:
- duplicates of each other, or
- alternates of each other, or
- the inventory is correct as it is

Either way, this request can not be approved.

I did my best to determine if these 3 are all duplicates, by messaging both submitters.
So far I only received the length of 1 wire out of six during 2 weeks.

If we want all electric wires in the catalog to be correct, we really need information
about the length of these wires in centimeters. We also need to know if this
length is of the total wire (including piece of wire in connectors) or if
it's measured from connector to connector (length between connectors).
