probably just missing it.

There are differing views on this but I always wait until I believe the buyer
is happy with the order, most probably post after shipping, some like myself
choose to wait.

So do you tend to leave feedback after the buyer has left feedback? So far I've
always left feedback as soon as I have shipped the order.

  If you get no response on status or feedback at all, you just have to accept
it and let it go.

  Hi all,
I'm sure this has probably happened to most sellers so any advice is appreciated.
A little over a week ago I sent an order to a new Bricklink user, their first
ever order was at my store and they haven't placed one since. However since
I sent the order they haven't updated the status to complete, although it
should have arrived by now. As a seller I can update the order status to complete
myself, although I feel that this is wrong.

Is it common for buyers (especially new buyers) to never update the order status,
or take extra long to do so? If so is there anything I can do to prompt them
other than message them? I have messaged this buyer but he hasn't gotten
back to me for a few days.

It's not a massive problem, it just annoys me a little as it looks untidy
with the rest of my completed orders lol.

Also I had another buyer (also new to Bricklink) who updated the status to complete
but never left feedback. Again is this a common occurrence?

Many thanks, and enjoy your evening, Stan.

Having struggled to cope with long distance house hunting, now made an offer,
selling a property, under offer , crazy work conditions, caring, running a BL
store and changing jobs it's now evident that something has to give.

I've decided that my store will remain closed indefinitely, almost certainly
until 2022, anything outstanding will be shipped and one order on hold will be
invoiced and shipped when requested by buyer.

If I understand correctly, I have to be active in my store from time to time
to prevent my listings from being deleted, please advise if this is correct and/or
whatever else I need to do.

I'll still be active on the forum and may still purchase anything of interest
that may turn up.

Hope to add large number of items when I reopen.

Packing unlisted stock into moving boxes, can't believe how many I've
used and nowhere near finished.

Here's to a more settled 2022 and finally a less stressful job, cheers everyone.

Stuart

In Suggestions, E.Leslie writes:
  I imagine I'm not the only one to be aware of this grammar mistake. When
searching a store's inventory, there's a drop-down menu that says "All
Filters." Once it's been expanded, it can be minimized by clicking "Less
Filters."

Properly, in English grammar, when there is a countable noun, we do not use the
quantitative adjective "less". That's flat-out wrong. We must say "fewer".

We can say "less milk," but not "less cookies." We must say "fewer cookies."

So here, English grammar demands that we say "Fewer Filters."

I do think that correcting this error will enhance the site's professionalism.

I organise my stock by colour, sub divided by categories for used, soon to do
the same with new, works for me.

Only manually add used stock and odd new items, most new by auto part out, reuse
larger boxes for shipping but I buy new large letter boxes in two sizes.

Had to add minimum order value due to far too many low value orders that I was
losing money on.

I add everything, who knows what might bring a buyer to my store.







In Help, cycbuild writes:
  What is your BrickLink rule of thumb to organizing inventory and pulling orders?

I've heard that sorting by parts not color is a good one. Another is cutting/taping
your own boxes to save on shipping. And a lot of pros and cons to setting a minimum
price/lots. My sub-query would be; are there any slow sellers that you
leave in the odd parts bin, or push to the end of the queue (of listing parts)?
Lastly, is BrickStock worth it or is Rebrickable a nice alternative?

Thanks,
cycbuild

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.

It's a global problem it appears, the midday update seemed to not help anything,
hence why admin hasn't commented as most likely they have no fix currently.

  So I was using Bricklink to sell off spare LEGO to make a little money on the
side but am going back to work soon so won't have time for it.

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

thanks

It's correct, you cannot pass on feedback when a store is sold, you are only
selling stores stock, nothing else.

Hope you find a buyer.



In Selling, Sheffbricks writes:
  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
Dita




In Selling, MrPetovan writes:
  I don't think you can sell your account with the associated feedback.

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.

I let germinate the seed of something I’ve enjoyed my entire life without ever
having considered it’s seed. Thanks to this year’s slow-to-start spring here
in Washington, I’ve taken to growing a few things indoors, including this
guy…


The contest is a three-part question: 1) The plant’s latin name? 2) Time in days,
it took to successfully germinate the seed before placing into soil? 3) The number
of days it took to grow into what you currently see, using only the weak ambient
(window) sunlight we have at this latitude? No grow-light use so far.

That’s three bits of information to enter with each posted entry.

Contest rules are simple:

~ One post per day per member, otherwise no limit to the number of entry-days.
~ Entry must be made as a reply to this contest post.
~ All three questions must be made in a single post.
~ First to correctly answer to all three questions in a single post, wins!

We’ll cover the shipping cost domestically (free shipping) All members are welcome
to participate though, if you can offer a US shipping address should you win.
For non US based members, any address within the US will do: a friend, family
member or fellow BL member is fine.

The contest moderator will be the all powerful, all knowing and all around good
guy known as Johan (jbroman) of Big Boy’s Bricks

I’ll soon send Johan the winning answers, he’ll determine and announce the winner.
Please direct any questions Johan's way, our contest moderator: https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=jbroman

Not all seeds germinate. If interested in how I aided this seed to do so,
feel free to contact me via pm, after the contest has concluded


Have fun!

I think the problem here is that you've got to get three correct answers
all at once,

The first is now all too obvious but it's a complete guess on the other two.

I've made a couple of guesses myself.

So my suggestion would be to uninstall Avast but it really is up to you.

I need to pay more attention, the title is obviously "Blue"

Please read Lead planters as subject.

I have two matching planters :

10" x 11.5" x 23"

  Just thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience in : buying, selling

These are extremely heavy and not sure I'll need them in Cornwall, hoping
to find someone who buys or deals in more than Lego.

Also have a large vintage farmhouse table that I might part with too, all would
be collection only.

I've really no idea what to ask for them and I'll probably have to sell
via eBay if I can't find a buyer myself, might advertise at work if I can
value them.

Checked online but didn't help much as I can't find anything similar.

I know it's unlikely that anyone can help but worth a try.

Thanks for any help.

Agree, this item is listed in Light yellow too, not bright light yellow.

  Good morning.
I bought one of those elemental chart of colors, but still can't identify
this shade of yellow.
In the picture I have Light Yellow at the top, and Bright (plain) Yellow at the
bottom and a couple tan pillars for reference.
It such a slight difference from the light yellow...


"Bright light yellow" and "light yellow" are two different colors; the pieces
you have circled look to be bright light yellow according to the chart you have.
The pieces you aren't sure of look to be just light yellow.

Not all sellers separate parts with variations like these, might they have added
a note to their terms ?

I do but when I'm buying I like to check that the seller has at least two
variations listed, if they exist, so that I'm sure they separate them, just
a thought.

However I've never seen an original 48729 part before and I couldn't
find a side-by-side comparison picture so I'd like to be sure before asking
for a reship/refund.

Please find attached the picture of the parts I received, half of them are flipped
but they all look the same on both sides. They were listed as New which tells
me there's a good chance they are 48729b but I'd prefer having a second
opinion.

Thanks in advance!

48729b has a hole on one side, 48729 does not. So you received 48729b.

  Hi everyone.

I'm sorting a load of classic Lego and have about a dozen of these pieces
in red, yellow, blue and black.

My camera is crap so the colour is washed out, but they are identical to Lego
yellow, blue etc.

I can't see a Lego logo or part number.

Has anyone seen them before?

New, never assembled

I let germinate the seed of something I’ve enjoyed my entire life without ever
having considered it’s seed. Thanks to this year’s slow-to-start spring here
in Washington, I’ve taken to growing a few things indoors, including this
guy…


The contest is a three-part question: 1) The plant’s latin name? 2) Time in days,
it took to successfully germinate the seed before placing into soil? 3) The number
of days it took to grow into what you currently see, using only the weak ambient
(window) sunlight we have at this latitude? No grow-light use so far.

That’s three bits of information to enter with each posted entry.

Contest rules are simple:

~ One post per day per member, otherwise no limit to the number of entry-days.
~ Entry must be made as a reply to this contest post.
~ All three questions must be made in a single post.
~ First to correctly answer to all three questions in a single post, wins!

We’ll cover the shipping cost domestically (free shipping) All members are welcome
to participate though, if you can offer a US shipping address should you win.
For non US based members, any address within the US will do: a friend, family
member or fellow BL member is fine.

The contest moderator will be the all powerful, all knowing and all around good
guy known as Johan (jbroman) of Big Boy’s Bricks

I’ll soon send Johan the winning answers, he’ll determine and announce the winner.
Please direct any questions Johan's way, our contest moderator: https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=jbroman

Not all seeds germinate. If interested in how I aided this seed to do so,
feel free to contact me via pm, after the contest has concluded


Have fun!

Very common to find these with the gold worn off.

Was it common for the gold to wear off on these sort of figures, or is this torso
from something else with a similar torso print?

In Selling, Skullfyre writes:
  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.

  Ok, so I was wondering if theres a collectors desire for manufacture error parts.
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?

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.

  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!

Thanks for the input, unlikely that anyone would be interested but I need to
sell them somewhere, worth a try especially if I can exchange for something I
can sell in my shop..

Suspect I'll have to advertise in a few places, not really happy using eBay.

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
organised store.
