It was spectacular!! Here in Central Ohio is was forecasted to be cloudy, but
it was not cloudy at all. Superb visibility, and viewed from our own backyard
with the kids, in the path of totality, just over 2 minutes of full eclipse.
Saw Bailey's beads, felt it become chilly, and birds stopped chirping. Also
saw Jupiter and Venus pop up during the totality, just phenomenal. My second
total eclipse (after Germany 1999).

Maybe they misinterpreted "only bag 2 opened to remove Malek/stand".
They could have interpreted that you are only selling bag 2, and that this bag
was opened to remove Malek. Maybe write: "All bags still sealed except bag
2 from which Malek/stand were removed"

| I just had 2 more of such requests last night. I do not send pictures, and this
is stated in my terms. I found (20 years of experience), that only a small fraction
of these requests actually end ups in sales. Overall, it is not worth the time
to make and send pictures for these requests. In addition, I have to make sure
to include a piece of paper with my name and date in it, so the pictures are
not used to scam others on other websites.
I do understand that the condition of a box is important, and pictures would
help, but again, not worth it on average. I know of a few stores that have a
policy clause that I have considered: When asking for pictures, tell them it
is $10 per picture, and if they buy the set, you'll give them the money back
as a discount on the set. So, they can place an order for pictures only (so Bricklink
still gets the fee), and if they buy the set you can discount. I am considering
something like that, but in stead of giving them a full discount, they only get
half the picture money as a discount. After all, it is still effort to take pictures
and send them, even if they buy the set in the end.
My advice, do not send pictures, and state this clearly in your terms (so you
can refer them to your terms if someone asks for pictures), but describe the
sets well in your store. And if you send pictures, make sure you include a date
and name prominently, so you are not aiding scammers by providing them pictures
they will claim as their own to scam others into paying them for sets they do
not have.

| | I took a break from selling on bricklink and now that I am back, I see they have
moved to using ShipStation from their previous way. This has proven very frustrating
as the tracking number is not part of the purchase. The options are also more

Is there another shipping service that is super easy, free, offers the discount
from retail and provides tracking?
Thank you in advance!

| | Can anyone help me identify if seller A is selling fake Lego bricks? I purchased
Dark bluish grey 42796 and transparent 31570 from two Bricklink stores, however,
the bricks I received look different. The transparent 31570 from seller A looks
very yellowish and the Dark bluish grey 42796 has small circle and small Lego
logo compared to the ones I bought before and from another store. I never thought
that Bricklink has fake Lego bricks, please help.

Trans-clear simply comes in two varieties. The trans-clear bricks (your seller
A) that look a little bit more yellow are/were actually the norm for decades.
Only in recent years, they have gotten a little bit more of a blueish hue. These
are all LEGO, and are all new.

What I do is that I close my store, but put up a message that "I'm on

wants to place an order and accept the delay, they can use the password XXX, and
their order will be processed once I return.

| This part:
is listed as either "M" / "W", but in my opinion this is only
the "M"
This part:
is also listed as either "M" / "W", but in my opinion this is
only the "W"
These are not the same, the "M" has a full length middle leg, while the
"W" does not go full length.
One could make an argument for the other way around, but I think the first entry
is an "M" only, and the second a "W" only.
I have 17 of these, all 12 that I would call "M" have no internal lining,
and all the "W" do.
In addition, if someone likes /wants to upload items to the catalog, I will happily
send them ~20 Modulex bricks, currently not in the catalog, for free (US only,
other countries will get them free too, but you'll have to pay postage).
You get the keep the bricks of course. I can also send an "M" and a "W".

| While I am focussing on still collecting several themes, I have decided to not
hold on to the Modulex collection. These where very fun to build with and collect,
but now it is time for a new owner...
I have uploaded 48749 pieces, divided over 459 lots. For many of these lots.
I am the only one currently that has that particular element/color combination
for sale, so some are very rare, and for the majority of the lots, I'm the
only seller outside of Europe. I'm holding on to a very few for myself, like
1 copy of each module minifig, and some 2 x 4's for my 2x4 collection. Even
if you're not a Modulex collector/builder, everyone should have a few of
these cute bricks......
I found an additional 20 or so lots that are not yet in the catalog (mainly decorated
tiles), I hope to get around to upload them, along with come corrections for
already listed items.
For each order that contains Modulex bricks, I'll throw in a few extra Modulex
pieces (after sorting all I found another cup or so, and time has run out on
this upload, so I'll give those away over time).
Paul
ps. If anyone is interested in the entire collection, I'll give a hefty discount
(more than 50%), and will throw in a few $100 in very nice storage containers.

| Currently well over 300 lots in my store on discount, including some sets and
polybags. Most sale lots are 50% discounted, a few are a bit less discounted,
and a few are as much as 80% off. Most lots have high quantities, so further
discounts are available if you buy 10 or more, or even further discounts for
100 or more. Over the next days, more lots will be added to the sale.
