I have sold these two Booklets:

 
Catalog No: c82uspg  Name: 1982 Medium Parents Guide US (114717/114817-US)
* 
c82uspg 1982 Medium Parents Guide US (114717/114817-US)
Catalogs: 1982

and :

 
Catalog No: C83uspg  Name: 1983 Medium Parents Guide US (100317/100417-US)
* 
c83uspg 1983 Medium Parents Guide US (100317/100417-US)
Catalogs: 1983

But the covers don't look like the ones shown. The c82 looks like the first
pic and the c83 like the second one.They have the right numbers on them. Should
the images be updated? I can it if it's ok, just wanted to ask first.

  I found this in my inventory last week. The first is these new brackets. The
brick with clip is normal Dark Bluish Gray, the bracket on the bottom is normal
Light Bluish Gray. The two in the middle, well, ???. I know this happens when
they change colors in the molding machine, I just never saw two with that much
difference before

The second is a slope I found and I can't really explain the speckle. It
is a LEGO part, seems to be mostly Light Bluish Gray. When I looked at it through
a loop, as you can see here, it has small shafts of black. I would expect round
beads, but not shafts.

Does anyone know how the slope got speckled?
Anyone interested in owning them?

Donna

Thanks for all of your input. I will double check that is or isn't LEGO.

I searched the most recent suggestions but didn't find anything about this.

Can a link to the Problem Order page be put on the Order Details Page (anywhere)
and be pre-populated with the order number when clicked?

I find it cumbersome to have to either remember the order number or copy and
paste it after navigating to the Problem order page. I can't be the only
one who has accidently canceled the wrong order (only once, but almost a few
other times).

I can't see that this would be hard to do since there is already a link to
message the buyer/seller on that page and is pre-populated with the order number
as the title.

Thanks,
Donna

  I seem to be receiving this type of request more frequently. I would say every
other day......

Hello, i want to buy some minifigs in your store, is there some discount for
reseller if i buy more than 50usd, and can u lower the custom declare / invoice
letter under 50usd and mark as a gift or just sent with no value and no invoice
in the package, coz there is a high price tax in indonesia if i buy more than
50usd, thanks before


As most seem to come from a particular region of the world, I understand it's
often a simple cultural difference, but not always.

I have standard form reply, that I copy and paste. However, maybe some thought
can be given to addressing this increasingly common issue, site-wide.

I have one member from Germany who first placed the order and paid, then pretty
much demanded customs fraud. Still dealing with that shipped order. If I pasted
his correspondence here, many would most likely think it fiction

Here's where I'm way over my head....can code be written that would give
a pop-up banner, when a member attempts to message or order from another member
of a differing country? Maybe something with a fairly benign statement regarding
customs forms.

Until then, I'll just keep copying and pasting

Let me expand my thoughts a little more here.....

I don't really know what constitutes customs fraud as per US import and customs
statute.

Stating anything other than the truth about what you are shipping. Sending merchandise
as a gift, stating the value is anything other than the actual value that should
be on an invoice attached to the outside of the package, filling out anything
on the form with info that is not true.

  
I know there are cultural difference to consider

Definitely...I think most of us in the US feel badly for buyers in other countries
that have to live with extra taxes or even government corruption to buy items
from around the world. I know I do.

  
I know it's fraudulent

It's a felony if you get caught. I don't want to go to jail for doing
it!

  
I know it's dishonest

I know having a stranger ask me to lie, feels bitting. Personally I can't
feature asking another to lie on my behalf. Especially, to save a few bucks....

In some countries it can be a lot more than a few bucks...several hundred can
be common depending on the order amount.

It's a tough situation to have to deal with...unfortunately the only choice
for sellers in the US is to fill it out honestly.

Foster has had a number of deep threads on this subject. Maybe he will chime
in.
