Yeah I know, but to date I've never seen that banner when I've entered
a store, so I still don't know who it is.

Most supermarkets in the U.S. will accept plastic bags for recycling—including
resealable baggies (someone correct me if I am wrong).

You also could try to find someone local who will take them, as it's generally
cheaper to buy new ones than to ship them somewhere.

I personally use the plastic bags people send me parts in to put in the parts
I'm sending people, it doesn't completely evens out but it keeps the
invasion in check.

Hi Skullfyre!

1. Yes, especially because I buy a lot of used lots off Offer Up, eBay, etc.
I would recommend anyone selling used to wash and sanitize their items before
selling. Or even if you are buying used and keeping it for a personal collection,
which I also do.

2. No, that is very inconvenient. I wouldn't want my own order to come that
way. Like you said, it makes it more difficult to count and verify.

Best of luck to you and take care!

Hey wildchicken13, thanks for looking into it. At least I'm not missing something
obvious. Cheers.

  Hey popsicle,

When I responded, I was responding to jennifer too, but just using the string
to do so. Your response sounds a little aggressive, so I sincerely apologize
if I made you feel that way by sounding aggressive myself.

I'm not sure what's going on, but there is no way I was blocked. The
person shouldn't know who I am because we've never communicated before
in any way. I have excellent feedback and would never dream of saying or doing
anything that could warrant a block from anyone. The thought makes me really
sad.

I did see the terms in the settings regarding no contact, and that's partially
why I'm baffled. I am more than happy to admit that I'm wrong and missed
something. I certainly hope that's true. But I just can't see it in this
case. Perhaps there is a glitch with this specific individual that disallows
contact in any form? Or maybe some clause that involves a store being closed
that we've missed? I have no idea. All I know is that using that button link
allows me to write a message, but not send it. The screenshot I shared earlier
is of the dialog box generating the red text saying they don't allow contact
right after I hit send.

I haven't shared the store name because I've been protecting their privacy.
I didn't want people bombarding them with messages just to see if it worked.
I guess I'll go ahead and share, though, hoping that I can trust you guys
won't do that. (If anyone else is reading this, please leave the messaging
to popsicle and/or wildchicken13.) The store name is Pelican Bricks. Please let
me know what you find and if you are able to send a message.

Thanks everyone for your input!

I am unable to contact Pelican Bricks either The upside is that means that
you are probably not stoplisted because then that would mean that we are both
stoplisted and I find that unlikely given that neither of us have interacted
with this seller before. However, it is not unheard of for sellers to stoplist
random buyers for no reason. I am on one seller's stoplist and I have no
idea who it is or why I'm on their stoplist. I've never had a negative
experience with a seller on this site.

Perhaps BrickLink intended for the store contact tab functionality to work even
if the seller has disallowed contact from all users, but not for users on the
seller's stoplist. However, somewhere along the line, the two scenarios got
switched, and instead the feature works for users on the seller's stoplist,
but not if the seller has disallowed contact from all users. That would explain
why popsicle is able to contact a seller that has stoplisted them, but you are
not able to contact a seller that you have never interacted with before.

  1 - Do you feel/think sellers should thoroughly clean and sanitize their used
bricks before selling?


Yes, I expect the brick I buy to be clean, and I hand clean all the parts I set,
including from Used sets. It isn't enough for me to switch from Positive
to Neutral feedback on its own, but I do mention it in the message.

Still, dirty parts aren't frequent. It stings every time, but compared to
the volume I bought, it's a minor issue.

  2 - Would you ever send a shipment of pieces to a buyer built into a large
flat brick?


I do not because it represents a lot of extra work for me for a negligible shipping
volume gain. I have received a few orders out of the 80 I've placed where
some parts were stacked together with a convenient way to separate them (same
length plates are stacked a stud apart) but I do understand your frustration
with separating 400+ parts.

On the other hand I don't remember an order with stacked parts that was incomplete
on reception, so maybe it's a good way to ensure order completeness?

Sorry for omitting that. Yes, this is from a second set bought new around the
same time, and never disassembled until yesterday. I only noticed it when struggling
to remove the blue grille from the bow piece and thought it was strange that
a 1997 set would have this part variation.

Many thanks. There are already a few sets from 1997 in the catalog which still
had 2412a. Looks like 1997 was the last year of the transition period.

Could you also check the string lengh in your set and replace the undetermined
entry with the correct lengh?

We sell hundreds of thousands of used pieces. We don't necessarily wash every
single piece but do check for dirt. If we spot any, we try to remove it. If we
can't, it doesn't get listed. The exception being if it's just dusty
(such as large plates) but then we make note of that in the description.

  2 - Would you ever send a shipment of pieces to a buyer built into a large

Never. We bag everything that can fit in bags. If someone buys a bunch of 8x16
plates, for example, we stack them, but flip every other piece so they don't
attach to each other.

I agree the sticker sheet part itself can't be sold as New - Incomplete because
there is no Complete/Incomplete distinction for parts and so would have to be
sold as Used, but the set the sticker sheet comes from could be sold as New -
Incomplete with the incomplete sticker sheet.

I do agree that it is a very marginal case because incomplete sticker sheets
are unlikely to come out of new boxes, but in this case the problem wasn't
the distinction between New and Used but between Complete and Incomplete.

  This is incorrect, you can list an item as New - Incomplete, even and especially
in your case. Take the sticker sheet out of the box, take one sticker, leave
the rest on, put it in a ziploc bag, it's New - Incomplete.

Now if you found this sticker sheet (even complete) anywhere but in the original
box/bag, it should be listed as Used.

  the original item is missing stickers , if a set have 10 stickers and 9 sticker

sheet with 10 stickers and one sticker is missing the sticker sheet is no longer
new but used .even though the 9 remaining stickers have not been touched .

you are wrong , (Take the sticker sheet out of the box, take one sticker, leave
  the rest on, put it in a ziploc bag) THAT one STICKER or the STICKER SHEET IS USED . if you look to the tos and when an other mamber report your sticker sheet it will be removed from your inventory .

I only clean bricks that are not clean, but I would not sell anything dirty,
and if I could not get an item reasonably clean, I would not list it.

I've stacked used pieces on occasion but I would not build a large flat brick
out of the entire order.

  I have had so many problems with USPS this year.

It seems that every few days I get packages that will be scanned once and then
never scanned again and have a Perma banner "Arriving late"

I also have the classic, only scan is the delivery scan. This one is fun because
it looks like I never shipped it.

I normally have them come pick it up because they scan it on acceptance. Oh,
wait not anymore they just toss it into their truck, no scan.

It makes me look bad when packages are in "shipped" mode for weeks on end.

USPS needs to get better or just suspend PES altogether.

Sincerely,

A very annoyed and disgruntled customer of the United States Postal Service

I've seen some delays in letter mail heading north from Florida. One order
by mail to MN, took 25 days before the recipient acknowledged receipt. I am also
having some delays with inbound parcels to Florida, but mostly with FedEx Ground
(who seems to always estimate delivery one day before actual delivery).

If my BL order volume is any indicator, people are (yet again) pressing the Buy
button like an elevator that they have been awaiting for 20 minutes.

WTF Bricklink? I'm getting more and more motivated to start selling on the
owl.

Figured it out, it was missing stickers and thus needed to be listed as incomplete.
Angry, spiteful, and poor feedback seller reported it improperly instead of reporting
the listing for the actual offending reason. Relisted as incomplete.

Now, for another question. How can I report a user abusing the reporting system?

you don`t have to send me prived emails ,you can post it in the forum if you
have something to say.
you listed your item wrong .

but have sold online for a very long time, other products, other sites.

Here are my questions:

1 - Do you feel/think sellers should thoroughly clean and sanitize their used
bricks before selling?


I ask this because I haven't bought a ton here yet but I have now received
three shipments that I would consider filthy and I needed to clean. Quite disgusting
when they stink or have visible grime on them.

2 - Would you ever send a shipment of pieces to a buyer built into a large

I ask this because I had just received a shipment and all 400+ pieces were attached
into large bricks. This then took me around two hours to disassemble to see if
everything I ordered was actually there. In my opinion, this method of shipping
isn't acceptable.

Thanks for the feedback and opinions in advance.

1. We have also received dirty unwashed parts, and had to wash them ourselves
before using them. Personally, we wash pretty much all of our used parts before
adding them to the store. The only exception is if we are parting out a used
set that looks to have been built and put in a bag, to not be played with since,
and not show any signs of dust or wear.

2. No, we bag all of our parts Not put together.

9V was metal tracks, with the power supplied from a central control box. For
some reason I want to say that more recent RC trains do not have metal track.

I wash all my used pieces before putting them into my store and I never connect
bricks together. Both are pet peeves for a lot of buyers.

WTF Bricklink? I'm getting more and more motivated to start selling on the
owl.

Figured it out, it was missing stickers and thus needed to be listed as incomplete.
Angry, spiteful, and poor feedback seller reported it improperly instead of reporting
the listing for the actual offending reason. Relisted as incomplete.

Now, for another question. How can I report a user abusing the reporting system?

send a personal email to admin ! admin wil help you further .

So I have questions for all of the sellers here. Firstly I am not a seller here
but have sold online for a very long time, other products, other sites.

Here are my questions:

1 - Do you feel/think sellers should thoroughly clean and sanitize their used
bricks before selling?


I ask this because I haven't bought a ton here yet but I have now received
three shipments that I would consider filthy and I needed to clean. Quite disgusting
when they stink or have visible grime on them.

2 - Would you ever send a shipment of pieces to a buyer built into a large
flat brick?


I ask this because I had just received a shipment and all 400+ pieces were attached
into large bricks. This then took me around two hours to disassemble to see if
everything I ordered was actually there. In my opinion, this method of shipping
isn't acceptable.

Thanks for the feedback and opinions in advance.

the rest on, put it in a ziploc bag, it's New - Incomplete.

Now if you found this sticker sheet (even complete) anywhere but in the original
box/bag, it should be listed as Used.

you are wrong , (Take the sticker sheet out of the box, take one sticker, leave
  the rest on, put it in a ziploc bag) THAT one STICKER or the STICKER SHEET IS USED . if you look to the tos and when an other mamber report your sticker sheet it will be removed from your inventory .

WTF Bricklink? I'm getting more and more motivated to start selling on the
owl.

in your store : Lot ID: 224098350 .

question for you and other sellers : how can you open a box remove the inventory
and list the box new when you have used the box for parting out ?

I don't sell just boxes, but I don't see why it wouldn't be new if
all you did was cut the tape and dump the contents out.

if you list the box condition is 7/10 , what is it new or used ? sold today a
used 10211 box in perfect 10/10 condition , i used the box only for parting out
and flated for storage .

It is a new box. I dinged a point for each sides tape being cut and a point
for a very minor crease that was in the box when I received it. I am very conservative
on my estimations. Better to rate it too low and have my customer be pleased
with the results, than to rate it too high and have them disappointed.

I still don't see why this thread has been hijacked to talk about boxes,
when I need to know why a user reported (or maybe it was a competitor since I
was the lowest price in NA) my set to the admin and the admin took zero time
to see that it was not infringing on any IP. AFAIK, the listing complied with
all of the rules for selling. I've not had a problem to date with any of
my listings.

you recieved 313 order , in the link that i post below the seller who recieved
only 4 orders he know how to list his set correctly . https://store.bricklink.com/emzys?p=emzys&itemID=246717746#/shop?o={%22invID%22:%22246717746%22}

OMG, so you did report this, why did you say it was AN IP VIOLATION?

I don`t report your set , all mambers can report you in the link below and admin
wil do the rest , if your set whas listed correctly admin will not remove it.
https://www.bricklink.com/problemInventory.asp .
admin removed last month all my smoking items that lego used to give to the toy
stores years ago .should I be angry with other mambers now?
whay you don`t post the picture and/or discription you used in your listing .

if you sell on brickowl and list your set complete when the set is not complete
they will remove it to .

Comments from Submitter:
From the original notice

I have this set with building instruction, but nowhere are the 2 part 3003 blue
brick 2 x 2 mentioned in the instruction. Maybe original submitter has mistaken
the set? I would say only a sealed set could confirm their presence in this set.

http://www.peeron.com/scans/3683-1/8/

Well not in mine. Does this mean they are considered as alternate parts? Note
that they are not mentioned in the instruction text in yours.

Wow this is cool - we just discovered another redesigned set!
See pics at https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/pre-owned-mint-complete-lego-3683-1910486235
(attached for future reference)

Many thanks for noticing that! I will update the inventory accordingly.

I do not. Like I said, until today I had the wanted list search page on the left
screen, and the order I was verifying/sorting on the right. As I went through
the inventory of the package, checking with the order on the right, I would fill
the Have quantity on the left.

Out of my 19 recent orders, there were 4 with missing/broken/wrong mold/wrong
color parts, so I do have to go through that manual process. However, wading
through 20+ wanted lists to find the correct item to fill wasn't fun, and
this feature will filter my wanted list to only the items that could be filled
with the order I'm verifying are shown, cutting the scrolling/paging time.

These 19 orders were generated by the Auto-Select feature in the Wanted List
Buy page, so I had no idea exactly which wanted lists were satisfied by which
orders.

Maybe it's a niche improvement, but it still is an improvement!

Hello lego fans.

New to the forum and would appreciate some advice please.
I have over the years accumulated lots of 12v classic track for a layout I will
soon start building.

Wasn't apparent unit I just cleaned all the track the various degrees of
colour discolouration.
Sleepers are ok, just the rails.

Any recommendations on how I can clean all the track and preserver the original
colour.

Picture of two of the trains and some wagons.

Cheers,
Ed.

Yes, but if the set does not have instructions, this should be mentioned in the
comments.

  or the box per https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102 and why reported
as an "IP infringement?" Just kills me how lazy the admins are if they can't
even look and see that it is not an infringing item.

I couldn't say why it was done this way - but I do know that the admins will
delete if it falls into some other category.

Just pulled my backup, it has the instructions! I put "instructions included"
in the description. So good guess, but that was not it.

I had that question too, but it seems to be accepted that if the box is not beat
up and just used for parting out, that it is okay to list as new. But the original
item was listed as used/complete.

the origenal item is missing stickers , if a set have 10 stickers and 9 sticker
are applied and 1 sticker is missing the set is incomplete , if you list a sticker
sheet with 10 stickers and one sticker is missing the sticker sheet is no longer
new but used .even though the 9 remaining stickers have not been touched .
