It was great wheen BrickLink for about a year ago had some articles where we
could meet some sellers. Fun to read and great for any BrickLinker, I think specially
for sellers.
Coldn´t we have something just the same with some buyers? Invite them to participate
and show of their collection. What do you collect? Are you a builder or just
collecting? Any special finding to tell about? What do you seek now? Any goal
whit your project, collection?
Et c.
I been a collector my self and I often think it´s not so easy to share my passion
with ordinary friends, not that many of them understand Passion of Lego at all.
Maybe more people out there thinks the same?
I think this would be a very good byer friendly marketing thing that could increase
traffic and sales to the site.
God or bad idea?

I did see a seller that has something like "send me a pic of what you built and
I'll share it on *insert social media here*" Which is something I thought
was neat. I'd love to so something like that.
In person, meh, not if they know who I am (as in they have bought from me and
now have my address). Unfortunately being a woman in a mainly "male" hobby sets
me up for all sorts of stalkers.
Honestly, I feel your pain, not being able to share, but thats what expos/events/etc
are for right?

This is hilarious, but I do admit I'm happy to have a $30 non set order and
would consider it large. I honestly have made about 40+ orders here and don't
think I've ever spent $30 at once except when I was finishing a #6985 and
the parts were very expensive.
What I really find is when people are selling as HUGE LOT of lego online/craigslist
without pictures that some questioning reveals its like 3 lbs worth. That's
what it reminds me of.
Anyway, I see both sides,

People have different budgets and levels of disposable income. I am happy to
get a $30+ order, aren't you? Mocking the OP only reenforces his viewpoint,
so way to go, I guess.
Regardless of OP's budget, his complaint is has merit, I have felt the same
way shopping in some seller's stores.
