One of the trails we use for our regular hikes.

Look like lilies or orchids, right? They’re not, they are fungi. Beautiful nonetheless!

Ferns are a big part of the forests here in the rainy Pacific Northwest. Some
sections are stunningly beautiful with them. Not necessarily those on this trail
though, that sits just on the Puget Sound shoreline, which the creek flows into.

Have a wonderful Sunday

  Maybe post the query in French as well?

A tous les acheteurs français,

À partir de juillet 2021, tout les marchés enligne étaient tenues de récupérer
les frais de TVA (VAT) pour tout achat inférieur à 150 EUR provenant de l'extérieur
de l'UE.

Cette année en France, cette règle a été élargie à toutes les importations en
provenance de l'extérieur de l'UE, en particulier pour les achats supérieurs
à 150 EUR.

La question que nous avons est :

D'après votre expérience, les autorités douanières perçoivent-elles la TVA
sur les importations d'une valeur de plus de 150 EUR qui ont été expédiés
au cours de cette année (2022) ?

Nous contactons directement plusieurs acheteurs français sur BrickLink pour leur
contribution, mais nous voulions également poser cette question aux acheteurs
français qui
être dans le Forum. Veuillez ajouter votre réponse à ce fil.

Merci,

L'équipe Brick Link

Very considerate of you. Well done.

-Thanks

I said “fine, here you go”

But seriously, this is an update to a post some have asked about in the interum:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1302554

Almost lost them over the winter. Not so much the lack of UV or growth cycles,
but because of a toxic-to-plants substance, I knew nothing about: cat piss! I
understand it's use as a derogatory, now

My son was away on business and had us sit his (unbeknownst to us) pregnant cat,
this she-demon: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1329051 She had for
some reason been pissing in the saplings' pots at night. Almost killing them
within hours. I have never smelt ammonia as strongly as her urine, pungent as
Hell itself.

Well, I did the Botany ER thing with them for two months, I wasn't gonna
give up on them! I believe they’ll pull-through, against all odds.

The First is now nearly 5 feet tall now, she is Jazz. The second is doing well
too with beautiful dark green foliage, is Gavin.

  Happy Father's Day to you too.

I've got 4 boys and we have certainly had fun building together over the
years. Here we are at BrickFair Alabama this year. My brother (far right) claims
that I took all of his LEGO as a child and wouldn't let him play with anything
but the train caboose My nephew is front and center and loves to build as
well.

Having children is awesome, so congrats. Enjoy every moment and soak it in.
They grow up very quickly.

Nice looking family, Wesley!

Thanks for sharing

This will be my first Father's Day as a Father (just missed it last year).
Thanks for the offer Cory, no need for any cards. I more just wanted to say
I am a very proud father to my almost 1 year old now.

Congrats, Pete! Boy or girl?

I'm sure it doesn't have to be said that it's life changing, that
fact has no doubt become visceral for you by now.

Though you as one of the site's more serious Lego Star Wars collectors, surely
you wouldn't mind receiving one of these vintage SW items? Just DM your address,
if that's the case.

That is very very generous! Thank you so much! Happy Father’s Day to you too!

I would very much appreciate it! I’ll take you up on this amazing offer! I will
send my postage address privately! Thanks again! Happy Dad’s Day!

Got your address, Bricks of faith. I assume you're a father?

Yep! One teen boy and a 6 year old girl!

Very nice. Thanks proud father!

Thank you! It’s actually my son’s old collection that is being sold in our store!
He does most of the listing and I am just there for moral support 😂

Very nice. He's doing a good job, let him know for me. Your gift has been
packaged and will be mailed tomorrow.

-Thanks

Nothing that involves adjustments on your end though. An explanation was given

nature) what it was beyond something with browsing limitations

  Hello, helpful people!
I have a quick question on how Bricklink charges fees. If a credit is applied
to an order after it has been placed (but before it is paid), will the seller
still be charged BL's fee on that amount, or on the final total?

Thanks!

It's a good question, the terms covering this can seem ambiguous.

As I understand it, seller fees are applied to what is itemized as “Order Total”
within the transaction's details. Straightforward so far, right

When an order is credited via the use of a coupon during checkout, it remains
the fee’d amount. But if an order is credited retroactively by the seller, then
the “Order Total” though still the fee’d amount, is now on the wrong side of
itemization and therefore fee-considerations.

Not many sets with that part in that color, with that particular sticker. I could
