|
| Hello,
Over the past half-year, I have accumulated over 1,300 Minifig heads, 800 Torsos,
and around 800 or so headgear/hair. As I do not want to sift through and upload
individually, what would be the best way to sell these? They are all clean and
free of dust and I would be willing to sell at a great discount.
Thanks!

|
| I have recently had two orders where the shipping method was marked "Request
for invoice (backup method)".
Is this an option that is always available on the checkout page?
I am trying to figure out why it looks like it was not possible to automatically
generate the invoice. Going over my shipping method, I noticed that there was
a fairly strict limit on the box size (3cm height) and the items sold were complete
sets.
The size in the Bricklink catalogue is obviously larger.
Could that have been the issue?
Is there any way to debug these kind of things? Like making a fake order in my
shop?
Thanks,
Peter

|
| If you have three tiers with the following prices:
base - 10¢
100 - 9¢
250 - 8¢
500 - 7¢
And someone orders 1000 of the lot, is the total cost $70.00 (since it's
over 500) or is it treated like tax brackets and the first 100 pieces go for
10¢, 100-250 go for 9¢, 250-500 go for 8¢ and everything else after that goes
for 7¢ for ~78.50?

| I was wondering how one would sell the minifig cmf sets? I am selling them as
new but the substatus is somewhat hazy to me. A lot of sellers sell as new and
complete but throw away the box. I would rather (for storing purposes but also
for cheaper shipping) lose the box and sell them in a ziploc bag...
What is the policy on this? And how strict is it? If it is strict, I'm just
going to scan them and sell the boxes as is

| Hello, I’m a new seller with two sales under my belt. It’s been great so far.
I have a few cool Lego Star Wars sets for sale and I’m offering them at 20% off
because, well… May the 4th be with you.
With the sale, my prices are very competitive and I would like to promote it.
Is there a way to promote stuff on sale?

How do I get the Vat and fees to Bricklink to show that the buyer has paid and
I can get a VAT invoice?

|
| Greetings fellow Bricklink sellers,
I have moved into a new place with more space and looking to reorganize my sticker
lots. I am currently using an accordion style folder organizer, which has been
ok but I have too many stickers so it is not the most ideal.
I am curious what every one else is using to organize their stickers?
Regards,
Quinton

Bricklink emailed a list of members two weeks ago allowing sellers to apply,
I responded with my sales tax certificate, they asked for an additional form
which I provided. Now its radio silence for a week and still no exemption.
I just went through the same process with Uline and it took an hour:/

|
| Hey everyone,
I've been thinking recently and I have come to the conclusion that I want
to sell a large part of my personal collection. One part of this collection includeds
a lot of older used sets, mostly ninjago and starwars. They are all mostly complete
but I don't know for sure, and I don't really have the time to check
every single one individualy. The seccond part of the collection are a lot of
minifigures, from a large variaty of themes, both new and used. How would I
best go about selling these?
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

|
| I am unsure what to do- I have sent multiple messages to the bricklink help desk
over the past weeks but they just seem to go into the ether with no acknowledgement
and no answer. I was late paying my store fees and only notcied when my store
was suspended (this is NOT my profession, just a hobby thus I dont check these
things very often). I piad the fees immediately yet STILL my store is suspended.
According to Bricklink's own rules, the suspension should be immediately
lifted when the past due is paid. I have no idea what to do here as I get no
reply from BL. I never expected such terrible service from a Lego entity. Rather
disappointing. Oh fair community of brickers, any suggestions???

| When i run an end of year report on Stripe and I look at a transaction where
Bricklink has also collected taxes, the fee amount shown consists of both the
Stripe fee and the Bricklink collected taxes. I just want to know the Stripe

|
| So I have a buyer who contacted me and asked if they could add some more items
to an order that has not yet been shipped. Of cause I'll make that happen,
but I'd prefer to let this run through Bricklinks system as well instead
of just adding the parts off the book, because this would make handling it for
me easier.
But I'm struggling to find a way to give this user free shipping without
opening it up for all buyers. So far I've tried:
- Issue a coupon for the shipping costs, this didn't work because a coupon
is limited by the value of the order and because my buyer wants to add items
for less than the shipping costs they would only get the value of the items for
free but still would have to pay the full shipping costs.
- Create a "Free Shipping Method" with a very high min-buy and a bypass
password. This didn't work because the password seems to only lift the global
minimum buy restriction, but no shipping methods are displayed during checkout.
Do you have any suggestions on how I could handle this and give this user free
shipping without asking them to upfront it and than sending it back?

| I finally got my quote requests working thanks to some help from the forum.
Then my first quote comes in from a buyer in Oregon (no sales tax). Would the
taxes field normally auto-populate or do you have to manually enter that? in
this case the field was blank and I left it blank.

| Hi
I have 412 items worth over £2,500 in my store.
If anyone is interested in buying the 412 items I will sell for £1000.00.
Please note that there maybe a few figures that are yellowed and have cracked
torso’s or arms.
I will have to charge £40 postage.

|
| Just out of curiosity, how frequently do you, as owners of large stores (I'm
thinking 1,000+ orders) get messages from buyers informing you about missing
pieces or broken pieces in their order. I have had to send multiple of these
messages during my time on BL (I really hate doing it) and I wanted to know how
irritating it is on the receiving end.

|
| A while back, I had a buyer reach out to me asserting that the
I sold them was fake due to no lego logo and that they've
often seen Ninjago theme as one of the most common themes where knock offs are
produced.
It's possible that it was fake, but there is usually more to it than just
a non logo. The difference in quality is usually glaring and would certainly
be noticeable on a trans-clear part that's also printed.
Since then, I've come across
that I know are authentic that do not have a lego logo. I've
also reached out to a few huge sellers that specialize in minifigs and they've
told me as well that some of these hemisphere parts do not have the logo.
If any sellers are able to check any of their hemisphere parts that they know
are authentic, I'd appreciate the additional data.

| Author: | NewRetroBricks | | Posted: | Apr 23, 2024 04:36 | | Subject: | Selling vintage sets with replica stickers? | | Viewed: | 132 times | | Topic: | Selling | |
|
| Hello everyone,
I´m a long-time collector but quite new in the selling game, and I have a question
that I didn´t find a clear answer to yet.
I like to restore vintage sets, and for my personal collection I sometimes use
replica stickers - usually from 'brickstickershop' - to restore and brigthen
up the sets. They´re high-quality stickers matching original size and colours,
and often are available for sets where it´s hard or even impossible to get the
original sticker sheets anymore.
So every now and then the collection gets too big, and I´d like to sell some
of the sets again.
My questions about this are:
- Is it acceptable / legal to offer vintage sets which use replica stickers?
(Of course with the explicit note in the offer listing that replicas were used.)
- If yes, should it be listed as 'custom item' or would it be okay to
list in the original category? (again, with explicit note of replica stickers
being used.)
Notes: I'm not planning to sell replica sticker sheets, which I know are
third-party items and are not allowed here. I´m just speaking of a handful of
sets where replica stickers were already applied. (picture below shows my 363/555
hospital with replica stickers.)
Sorry for the wall of text, but I want to do everything correct. I´m very thankful
for any constructive answers.
