So are you seeking the sets or selling the sets?

Selling. Typo sorry

The BL price guide can give you an idea of how to price the sets. 928 for example:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=928-1#T=P

You'll have to upgrade to a seller account first though. Since you already
have positive feedback, it won't take as long to upgrade as a brand new member.

  I recently ordered part
 
Part No: 3625  Name: Minifigure, Hair Female Pigtails

and I believe it to be fake. It does not have LEGO or copyright symbol. If
I found it in a lot it would go in the fake bin but before I ask for a refund
from the seller I would like opinions.

If you would put that part in the fake bin, then you shouldn't be sorting
LEGO.

Normally I would brush this off but... why is it that I shouldn't be sorting
LEGO exactly?

Because I came to the forum to ask for people's help on a piece that does
not have the LEGO stamp or the copyright symbol? I can show you many examples
of fake hair/headgear that only have a number and have a different looking head
stud area.


With the influx of fake parts it seems better to be overly cautious rather than
not.

Maybe you shouldn't be replying to help threads...

1001bricks is right—MANY LEGO parts don't have the LEGO logo. Imagine if
that 3625 was a white one, and you had thrown out. Those things are rare! The
forum is replete with people asking if a part is fake because there's no
LEGO logo, and the vast majority of the time it's a legit part. It baffles
me that someone with a feedback score as good as yours doesn't know how differentiate
clones from real LEGO more thoroughly.

I realize that I care about this more than other AFOLs, but to me when a LEGO
part is thrown away, it's a mini little tragedy. Like a tiny voice crying
out in terror and then suddenly silenced.

I agree with edk and disagree with jennnifer. That inverted slope definitely
IS LEGO, and as edk said, it's an older one. It's normal for that particular
inverted slope to have those hollow studs with the thicker walls if it's
from 40+ years ago.

Are the links a problem though? How many people see an obvious spam message with
loads of links in and think it would be a good idea to follow them?

To me, the issue is that the spam exists, not that there are clickable links
in the spam. Stopping any clickable links doesn't solve the spam issue.

Luckily, enough people report them and forum moderators act quickly once they
are reported reported and then the spam disappears if you have the hide cancelled
posts setting selected.

My thought was that if a new user tries to post a message with a URL, BL would
give the user an error (URLs/links not allowed in messages from new members,
or something like that,) and the message would not go through at all. If a spammer
found that he could not post a message with a link, he would give up very soon
(hopefully,) and leave.

You're entirely right about BL members not being dumb enough to click on
obviously bogus links (which makes me wonder why the spammers go to the trouble
of posting them anyway.) I also agree with you that the moderators do a good
job of cancelling the spam posts.

Those are all legitimate parts. I just don't get the hyper paranoia buyers
have nowadays about counterfeit parts. The forum is replete with posts about
parts that people think might be fake because they don't match 100% with
the parts they have from the past few years. As time goes on LEGO makes new
molds and makes tiny changes on most iterations of parts. I suppose the Chinese
clones are to blame. Sigh...

  Got a order from a customer, all seems good. But after a month no response to

They have no feedback so they are new to the site, and I want them to have a
good experience but I don’t know what to do.

Should I leave negative feedback? I also have other user who ordered and didn’t
mark as received, but he had all good feedback. But I checked the stores that
he ordered from and he didn’t leave them any feedback ether.

What can I do?

Wait—are you asking if you should leave negative feedback for a buyer who paid
for his order just because he didn't leave feedback for you and didn't
mark the order as received/complete? If that's the case, then NO
you should NOT leave negative feedback.

Leaving feedback is nice, but it's optional, as is marking orders as received
or complete. One of the things you should understand as a seller is that not
all buyers leave feedback. (That's not just here on Bricklink; it's
the same on other sites that use feedback.) Since you've already messaged
the buyer about it, I would just leave it at that.

  The mystery to me is how sellers let that happen in the first place. When you
add a lot of something that you already have in your store, Bricklink warns you
automatically, so a seller would have to ignore that in order for the duplicate-lot-problem
to happen.

If you part out a set, it will warn you but not try to combine the lots. You
have to do that manually. Not consolidating lots is often done by sellers with
smaller storage areas, where they bag up the parts from X copies of that set,
then use the set box as the storage location. That is, they don't have a
huge storage system, one part per location. It cuts down massively on storage
volume, as you might have 100 lots in the set box. It takes longer to pick as
each part doesn't have its own location, but much more efficient for storage
of smaller lots. Of course, they could locate the other similar lot in another
set and combine them but that is more work. It can also happen if you find there
is say 10x a part and pre-bag it to sell as a fixed quantity of 10. Then you
get that part again at a later date but this time 15x, and you pre-bag it as
15 qty.

What a ridiculous excuse. Those sellers with a bunch of lots for each parts
go straight to my least favorite list, and they completely deserve it.

Yes! Or at least there's an easy way to find all of the duplicate
lots in your store. Bricklink has a search function in the My Store Inventory
page (https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp) on the right side. Check the
"Non-Unique" box and then the Go! button. It will show you all of the
duplicate lots in your store.

You have so many lots of the exact same same items that it makes browsing your

Opening a store is the only way you're allowed to sell here. There's
nothing wrong with opening a store and only selling one set though. After that,
if you want to leave your store empty, you can.

That is normal. An invoice to a buyer in the USA almost always has sales tax

It's

That sucks that your first purchase on Bricklink turned out so poorly. Maybe
the seller is in the hospital, or maybe he went on a Christmas vacation for December
and forgot to close his store. Whatever the reason, you were totally justified
to start an NSS after 2 weeks of nothing from the seller.

At this point it is possible but unlikely that the seller is ever going to fulfill
your order, so I think that buying the MFs from a different store is your best
option.

I can't say for sure, but I imagine the buyer probably paid with an e-check.
When someone pays with PayPal, and the funds in their PayPal account don't
cover the amount, he can transfer funds from a linked bank account. That transfer
is not instantaneous. It usually takes about 3 business days.

The chain is attached to the back of the head. That was one of the early styles:

One other thought that occurs to me is that the Jim Spaceborn comics also depict
space figures as having yellow hands, but the only thing is that it seems like
the keychains predate the comics.

Thanks for that great photo reference! When I saw the yellow hands in Jim Spaceborn,
I just assumed that they had taken their gloves off.

I have bricks from that era and the logo is completely wrong.
These letters are more square and blocky compared to the lettering of the time

"Completely wrong" would be if it said something besides LEGO.

The 1960's and 70's were a time of inconsistent logo fonts on studs.
The red one you have is older than the white one you compared it to, but it's
definitely LEGO.

The quality feels like mega, but it says Lego on it. Also on the inside it says

It’s also not quite the same red as regular Lego bricks.
If you know what this is let me know.

That is definitely LEGO. It's just old; from the 1970's or earlier.

  Hi,

As a classic space fan I regularly come across white and red classic space astronauts
which have yellow hands. These minifigs are not in the catalogue, but I see them
often enough to believe they are not modified.

Does anybody have more information about those astronauts? I've never seen
the black and blue astronauts with yellow hands..

Thanks, F.J.

The only Classic Space torso to come with yellow hands is the all yellow one.
Some kids just love swapping hands for some reason. Torsos from Classic Space
sets always came with hands that matched the arms and torsos.

Was there any reason for you leaving neutral feedback other than the seller not
leaving feedback for you?

  Hello
The actual parts are real Lego, but I can't find the patterns. Could it be
that they are custom prints?
Thanks in advance!

The middle and bottom heads are custom prints. I'm not sure about the yellow
one.

  Hi

Hasn't it taken very long with inventory approval on Gringotts Wizarding
Bank?
It's been over 3 months since it came on the market :o

It's a very large set, so if someone is working on the inventory, it will
take a while.

If you have the set, you can add the inventory here:

  Hi all, I have noticed lately as a buyer and seller that the system is generating

The two aren't mutually exclusive. A seller can create an invoice, and the
buyer can then use the Pay Onsite method to pay through PayPal.

At what point in the buying process do you see the request for an invoice?

David

The buyer requests to purchase the item and instead of being sent to paypal to
finish the process, the buyer is sent a notice that an invoice will be generated
for the purchase by the seller.

That's normal. Once the seller creates an invoice and sends it to the buyer,
the buyer can click the Pay button to pay through PayPal.

There are 2 main ways that a buyer can be invoiced:
1. The store the buyer makes a purchase from has Instant Checkout. In that case,
the seller has set up shipping options to automatically assign a cost to orders,
so the invoice is there right away, and the buyer can pay right after he clicks
the Submit Order button.
2. The store does not have Instant Checkout (or the particular order does not
qualify for it.) In that case, the seller must manually create an invoice for
the buyer. Once the buyer has it, he can pay through PayPal.

In both scenarios the buyer pays through PayPal. In the Instant Checkout method,
the order placement and payment are one right after the other and thus seem like
one process, whereas in the manual invoice method, the order is placed, and the
length of time between that and payment is dependent on the speed of the seller
sending an invoice and then the speed of the buyer paying for the order.

Hope this helps,
David

  Hello Bricklinkers!

I am wondering if I am missing a spot to put in "My Collection" section
of instruction booklets.
I love that you can put in all your sets on a list to look them over.

If it is not already a section that I can't find, I think a spot for instruction
books in the "My Collection" section would be awesome.
As a collector/buyer who can't always remember what they have this would
help to not buy more then I need.


It appears that you can add sets to My Collection, but not instructions or
boxes. Now here's the funny part. Let's say you go to a set in the
BL catalog that has both instructions and a box. To the right of the set picture
there are 3 main info blocks: My Store Inventory, My Wanted List and My Collection.
Now if you click on the Instructions Entry link for that set, the My Collection
info block disappears, but it's there for just a split second. It's
the same if you go to the Original Box Entry link. Try picking a set and clicking
back and forth between the Instructions Entry link and the Original Box Entry
link. The My Collection info block will show up in both, but if you blink, you
miss it.

Is it because BL has plans to implement the My Collection feature for instructions
and boxes in the future? Is it just a brief visual effect from the system starting
to load something that doesn't connect to anything? Is it just something
I see on my browser (Firefox) that some other users aren't going to see?
I'm not sure, but it's there.

Since you're in Minnesota, you could try asking someone in TwinLUG.

Of course, you'll have to buy from at least 1 store and get a positive feedback

It is fairly easy to get ahold of Customer Service. They have a published phone
number.

Yes of course, but if you call them and ask for element IDs of parts that have
never been in sets, I imagine you're not going to get very far before the
person on the other end starts wondering why on earth you'd want that information.
I'm not saying it couldn't happen, it just sounds very odd.

I bought my 6285 in the USA, and it did not come with the game, so maybe just
the European version included it?

As far as pricing, when a new item is added to the catalog, and you have the
only one, you just have to take a guess as to how much you think it's worth.

It looks like your store only has 22 recent sets. Most buyers on Bricklink are
after parts. People who buy sets are generally looking for ones that are older
than what you have. When I sell sets, I know that it's a waiting game.
Sets have sat in my store for several years before selling sometimes.

This makes perfect sense. I hope that they have already been considering and
planning to do this for a while because the catalog is an essential part of the
BL system. While I'm fine with the myriad of catalog contributions being
made by nonemployees, it seems odd that the catalog administrative duties are
not handles by employees.

Like everyone else, I received an email notification to change my Bricklink password.
I changed it and after I did, I received an email titled "Successfully reset
password."

The password reset worked fine, but the email that let me know it had been reset
said:

Your password was successfully reset.
Details:
Time: Wed Nov 08 14:30:09 EST 2023
Location: Texas, USA

That seems benign, only I'm not in Texas; I'm in Indiana. I imagine
that it's just a small glitch causing this, but considering that Bricklink
just had a cyber attack, a mistake like this doesn't exactly put my mind
at ease.

Years ago I suggested that sellers be allowed to have a local pickup option for

It appears to show the years when each part went into production, but I have

Looking at the picture, it would be the piece on the right.
I believe Mega Bloks (now Mega Construx) has some but was wanting to use LEGO
brand.

Thank you in advance!

If it can be longer/thicker than a 1X1 plate, you can use either of these parts

  I have about 40 32x32 baseplates I'd like to add to my store. Problem is
that I'm not sure of the best way to ship them. Do sellers just typically
ship them in large bubble envelopes or boxes? Large envelopes seem the most economical
but I'm concerned about damage to the plates. Boxes seem the most safe but
more costly to ship. What are your recommendations? Thanks.

The difference between the weight of a box and the weight of a large envelope
is tiny compared to the weight of the baseplates. A box is the only sane way
to ship baseplates.

This set is listed as released in 1993, but the note specifies that the set inventory
is from the 2009 version. This pretty problematic, as it causes a lot of modern
colors - orange, medium blue, reddish brown, lime etc. - to be listed as found
in 1993, which is obviously plain inaccurate. Why is this not split into a 9090-1
for the 1993 version, and 9090-2 for the 2009 version (and etc. for whatever
known versions there are)?

I agree. You should add a 1993 version of the set so that it will be split into
2 different versions.

I honestly don't know why anyone orders from him. It was annoying having
parts from that store show up in searches, so I just put it on my least favorite
list.

Sounds like the buyer bought used and expected new. The condition shown in the

You need to list it in your store. That's the only way you're allowed
to sell on Bricklink.

looks like pencils in the catalog is something that is done already. seeing that
the sets aren't marked as cannot be inventoried or something I guess no one
has submitted an inventory rather then it being not allowed which you could add
here
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvAdd.asp?viewType=G

But only after I add the weird 2X2 thing and have it approved.

Several years ago I received
 
Gear No: 5005111  Name: Pencil, 9 Pack with 2 Toppers
* 
5005111 Pencil, 9 Pack with 2 Toppers
Gear: School Supplies
and
 
Gear No: LE51515  Name: Pencil, Colored 9 Pack Classic with 2 Toppers
* 
LE51515 Pencil, Colored 9 Pack Classic with 2 Toppers
Gear: School Supplies
for Christmas, and although they consist mainly of pencils, there are a couple
of regular plastic LEGO parts that you can put on the pencils.

Neither one of these gear items are inventoried. I was wondering if it's
because they're rare items (and also something that would be very unlikely
to be parted out into a store), and no one has bothered to inventory them, or
are they not supposed to be inventoried because then we'd have to decide
on whether to add the individual pencils to the catalog, and that would open
up a can of worms of which items are parts and which are not?

I looked in the catalog for the individual plastic parts that fit onto the pencils,
but I didn't find them. (I could've just missed them though.) I do
NOT want to add the pencils individually to the catalog, but I thought that the
plastic 2X2 thingies that attach to the pencils should be in the catalog since
they attach to studs. Is that an addition that the catalog administrators would
approve?

Both for your wanted list and for your item for sale you can select any color,
even if that color is not a 'known color'.
The way it works is that the colors of a part will show as 'known' if
and only if the part-color combination is used in an inventory. Since you have
the part, you probably have the set where it came in, so maybe, just maybe, you
could contribute to the catalog by adding the inventory of the set.

I don't have the set. Came in a bunch of bulk bricks. I am trying to list
for sale and I can not select white. It is a legit lego piece and is available
as such on rebrickable and only comes in one set.

Of course you can list in white. You can list any part in any color that's
in the BL catalog.

  Hi everyone,

I had a buyer buy a sealed battle of the black gate from me. Payment went smooth
especially since it was his first buy, I communicated every step with him and
shipped his package off within 24 hours. Upon delivery he was not at home and
since it was a $500 set I added the signature option, it was then taken to the
nearest Canada post awaiting his pickup. I followed up with him sending 3 separate
Bricklink messages letting him know that he had to pick it up, I used both Bricklink
and his email. after 14 days he didnt pick it up and its now on its way back
to me. Am I liable for the 40$ of return shipping and should issue him a full
refund or what is my move from here, he still hasn't contacted me as of now.

Thanks for the help!

It sounds like you did everything you could on your end of the transaction.
I would say that you should not be liable for the shipping, and if a refund is
done, you should only refund the order total and tax. However, I do not know
what rules may bind you in this situation since I do not know the rules for such
occurrences in Canada, so I can only offer my opinion.

You can add a store to your Least Favorite list. Then it doesn't show up
when you search.

If you're going to be away that long, just close your store. At bare minimum,
put that info in your store's terms page instead of in the banner.

Alguien que me pueda dar un tip para hacer compras en tiendas de USA desde Mexico?
Lo intente una vez por envio ordinario y al llegar a la aduana el seguimiento
se detuvo, el paquete se perdio y nunca llego.

Alguna tienda que me recomienden o metodo de entrega que si llegue?

Saludos.

Creo que necesitas encontrar una tienda que utilice FedEx o DHL para el envío.

I just saw this on FB. Look at step 1. The turntable outer can be either yellow
or grey.

Full credit to Erik Lucas for this discovery.

But were light gray turntables ever found in that set? A color error in the
instructions doesn't mean that the set's inventory gets an alternate
added. However, finding a set that actually came with a light gray turntable
instead of a yellow one does.

  I cannot identify the stickers 🤔

Hi,

After more than an hour looking for these stickers in the catalog (I searched
for stickers sheet by year, descending), I finally found them
Here is the sticker sheet:

 
Part No: 3059stk01  Name: Sticker Sheet for Set 3059 - (23104/4142045)
* 
3059stk01 Sticker Sheet for Set 3059 - (23104/4142045)
Parts: Sticker Sheet

from the set:

 
Set No: 3059  Name: Mars Mission - Master Builders (Masterbuilders)
* 
3059-1 (Inv) Mars Mission - Master Builders (Masterbuilders)
85 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1 Book, 2000
Sets: Town: Space Port

If these stickers are on the right parts, you could still add them to the catalog


Nicolas

That set/book is the Space equivalent of
 
Set No: 3058  Name: Busy City - Master Builders (Masterbuilders)
* 
3058-1 (Inv) Busy City - Master Builders (Masterbuilders)
73 Parts, 1 Book, 2000
Sets: Town: Town Jr.: Construction
In 3058 there is a sticker sheet, but none of the instructions show using any
of the stickers. (There are instructions for multiple models in the book.)
If 3059 is the same, then there is a sticker sheet, but no official counterparts.

Very interesting! I have not seen that one before, but I did find an online

It looks like the one you have is in great condition for its age.
