Is it on bricklink?
The lot we found it in has some very old 60's bricks as well as some 70s
and 80s.
A 50*50 light gray baseplate is also included, glued on a wooden plate, exactly
matching this clip.

| Orders are always slow coming when you have the level of stock that you currently
have.
You will find that larger quantities of specific items and a greater range will
help, it does take time.
Not checked your prices as you don't currently ship to U.K. which doesn't
surprise me as you need to be comfortable supplying your home market first.
I found that when my stock reached certain counts the orders came much more readily.
Best of luck.

Have just finished a full stock take so all quantities are checked and verified
plus all prices have been adjusted to current lowest in UK in most cases.
There are about 90k parts with about 98% new condition and the used ones are
all what others would list as 'new' 
I am wanting to sell the whole store including stock and the presence here on
bricklink so the buyer can consolidate stores and get the 2k+ feedback boost
from merging stores.
This is a viable store on its own and you can see from my current feedback that
it's taking lots of orders so you could buy it as a starter store or to add
to an existing store you have.
There has been a lot of time put in to organising and updating inventory so I
think a quick sale at 1/3 current store inventory value is a fair deal. and
i will include stock, store and storage (large wilko drawer units) plus a ton
of new gripseal baggies.
I've put a fraction as the price rather than a number as that will change
as orders are taken and fulfilled.
Any serious interested parties please get in touch as I'm asking other people
direct about this and don't see it taking long to shift at almost 70% off

selling stores stock, nothing else.
Hope you find a buyer.

| | Thanks MrPetovan.
I looked and couldn't find anything stating it wasn't allowed and the
topic on merging accounts talks of merging feedback so I read that as it is possible.
Is there a way to tag an admin in this ye olde style forum to get a ruling on
it as searching doesn't yield much fruit?
If it is against the rules, and I can be shown this in black and white, then
I'm more than happy to just sell the store stock on here and then close down
the account afterwards.
thanks

You can still sell your whole inventory as a custom item for a fixed price or
on the forum if you're open to negotiations, but the feedbacks are yours
and yours only, I believe.

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.

I know that prints on the wrong colour pieces are deffo desirable but what I
currently have are parts that the plastic either didn't quite fill up the
whole mould or seem to have been melted(?) during the manufacturing process.
Any thoughts or are they just trash?

. Normally I receive 1 a day / few days . I appreciate I haven’t got a lot of
stock so this amount of orders is fine . But I just find it incredibly strange
I have had nothing . Therefore would someone please just try to buy something
from me and obviously cancel at the end point . I just want to make sure nothing
is screwed up along the way ..
Obviously if you accidentally buy I will refund asap .
Sorry to ask but not sure how I can check myself.
Thanks

| | Greetings BrickLink catalog enthusiasts!
You will be pleased to learn that we have just today appointed a new Catalog
Associate - Randyf. Randy has served as an Inventories Administrator for the
last couple years and has done a fantastic job. We feel this promotion, though
it has been long in coming, is very well deserved.
As a reminder to those who are still learning about the BrickLink Community Expert
Program, the Catalog Associate position gives admin privileges over the entire
catalog half of our BrickLink system. After one year's experience, Catalog
Associates are eligible for promotion to full Catalog Admin, which gives them
full privileges on both sides, for both catalog and inventories.
https://www.bricklink.com/memberAdmins.asp
We plan to update the Hall of Fame page very soon. There are several things to
add, including Randy's time serving as Inventory Admin.
Please welcome our new associate!

sell them somewhere, worth a try especially if I can exchange for something I

I'm talking about a vintage/antique farmhouse table with drawers ( not sure

All these are heavy and or sizeable, exchange only in U.K. and would have to
be collected.
Effectively the Lego would be sold to me and I pay with these goods rather than
currency.
If it is then anyone interested can contact me and we can try to work something
out, if it isn't then please ignore this message.

So long as one side is a purchase from a store, I think it is allowed. You can
pay in any currency accepted and agreed by a seller, and if they accept furniture
then go for it.

| It's been a crazy 12 months for me and the next 12 months look similar.
I've packed all my unlisted Lego as I'm hoping to move in the next few
months.
Just a heads up for anyone thinking of ordering from me in the near future, things
may change quickly.
I'm looking to rent to begin with which may prevent me from reopening until
I find a new home, the store may be closed for a long time.
Thank you to all my customers and thanks for all those that have sold me items
so far, also thanks to all those here on the forum that have kept me informed,
entertained etc, even if we don't always agree.
Here's to a new, even brighter future and if all goes well a bigger more

showing some words: PAT PEND. The LEGO Marking on the stud is also different.
I asked the seller, the seller told me the piece are new never used.
So are these pieces fake or too old?
Or these seems not item 3063 but is 3063a (Years Released: 1955 - 1956)?
Check my attached pics, left one is the one I just purchased, right one is a
new piece for compare.

In Announce, mkmbricks writes:
| | Hello everyone,
We realize that we made a mistake. Truly, we apologize to everyone, especially
to those that would like to retain the integrity of the friendly place these
forums are, and rather than adding to it, we took away from the ambient. We behaved
to confidently, and as we saw, we too had many mistakes. We wrote our message
to add to the community, to warn our fellow buyers and sellers, but in doing
so we took-away. We'd like to apologize for the use of duplicate accounts
- we honestly did not know that we couldn't have multiple accounts, we give
our word on that.
We are a "we". We are several people. We came across Bricklink and decided that
we could cooperate to manage one store, just as we would in real life. But, each
of us also had older accounts on Bricklink that we wanted to use solely for "shopping"
and making wanted lists. This account was designated as a seller's account.
However, we admit that we have committed trouble, and now we understand why there
shouldn't be multiple accounts. Although it did not cross our minds to commit
more treasonous things with these duplicate accounts, no one should be able to
do any of that, so we thank, in some way, that this happened.
As to those that gave us feedback on our store policies and responsibilities,
thank you. We have implemented some already, and we have removed the "All sales
final" and No refunds.
Once again, we are sorry for taking away, for we thought we were contributing
- we believe that we came off the wrong way in our message, and further so when
we, out of anger and impulse, decided to defend ourselves. We promise to do good
by everyone as so our capabilities permit us to do so, and perhaps we will listen
and ask more rather than talk and point.
Everyone, we understand that this apology may not be acceptable to many of you,
but we have no excuses. We made a mistake. We want to make up for it.
Thank you,
MKM Bricks

the weight and dimensions of the set are in Metric units. I live in the USA,

But, for the people on the planet that use the Imperial system, and haven’t had
to use grams, millimeters, etc., metric is just a bunch of gobbley-gook that
required the extra step of converting somehow..
Feature Suggestion: Add a setting in the settings menu that allows the display
of Imperial units instead of metric units.
p.s. May the flees of a thousand camels come to rest in the armpits of all those
who comment with: “Everyone should just convert to metric!”

| | In a large box of loose LEGO, I came across several light gray pieces that I
can't identify the color of. They are from set 41154 and the only gray listed
in the inventory is LBG. The pieces in question are the 1x1 bricks as well as
the 1x2x5 bricks. For reference, the arch, 1x4, and 2x4 are light bluish gray.
The liftarm is very light bluish gray.
I know there is a variance in the light bluish gray, but this is a pretty dramatic
shade difference. And they ALL have the same shade, every 1x1 and 1x2x5. They
are LEGO pieces as I checked the studs and the logo is present.
Any ideas? Or have I overlooked something simple?

| You can find early bricks without Lego logo on the studs but not often seen these
days, most have slots but not all.
The long side fill gate was used on a few odd moulds, usually test moulds I believe.
I have seen clone brands with the colour shown by OP.

As stated in other posts, the fact that the fill gate is on the long side of
the part is another sure sign that this is not LEGO.
