| Add a one-week cooling off period before you could leave neutral or negative
feedback on the seller. Along with a pop-up recommendation that you contact the
seller to work out your grievances.
Just my two cents worth.

I know that allowing removals of these negs is a slippery slope so I wont go

I'm suggesting that until the covid crisis is over that BL puts an extra
disclaimer on the feedback area explaining that postal delays are not our fault.
It doesn't even need to be permanent. Just something official. They aren't

Yeah, I don't recall if I saw it on EBAY or AMAZON, but I have for sure seen
checkout or tracking number warnings somewhere. Also I've gotten
emails that my parcels arrival dates have been bumped.
I think its a legit concern, esp if the big platforms are doing something about
it.

There is a bright red banner on the USPS tracking page announcing that there
are delays in transporting the mail...
I've been following several packages that just seem to get stuck in limbo...
Taking 2-3 days to get from one facility to the next - in the SAME city...
So buyers should know it's not you, the sender...

What they should know and what they do seem to not be the same. I've gotten
many messages.

| Voted yes.
I too have had a few customers asking where their packages are after explicitly
telling them before I shipped out that it could take longer than normal. One
buyer did reply back and say his package arrived and apologized for not being
more patient. Haven't got a negative or neutral yet but I'm sure you're
not the only one who has.
This warning should be on the feedback area AND on checkout. Buyers should see
this warning and maybe have to check the box that they have read and understood
that shipping delays are to be expected.

I do agree with you.
I also feel to a certain degree that us sending out thousands of packages of
kids toy parts a day using a highly stressed postal system, is bringing problems

The inventory is being worked on by another BrickLink member right now. I would
estimate that the inventory will be available within the week, and then you could
use that inventory to part out the set into a wanted list.

We have both ways in that category so far but there have only been 2 examples

This is one with N/A as the color:

Yes. If the part is not all one color, then N/A. Easy and simple.

It is probably 1967. I say that because of the set 331 in the picture.

As far as I can tell the Lego part number is 4275491 and so if Lego uses this
same part code for all its set appearances then it must be a misprint. I guess
the only way to be sure would be to try using Legos Broken/missing parts service
and then painstakingly check all the sets it appears in and check the toros part
number is the same for all. […]

LEGO uses the same element ID for different variants and prints.
E.g. according to BL,
* | | 3626bpb0203 Minifigure, Head Dark Bluish Gray Moustache and Bushy Eyebrows, Black Cheek Lines, White Pupils Pattern - Blocked Open Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Head |
share the PCC 4524911.
(Happy example with both colour and variant differences. Grey/brown is not a
misprint.)
So you wouldn’t know whether it’s a misprint or a new “revised” print.

I’m sure there will be some anomalies but in your example whilst you are correct
that the brown and grey are intentional print differences and not misprints I
don’t think they actually share the same part number it’s just bricklink has
made it seem that way and for understandable reasons...
|
So all of the decorated parts (with their own TLG numbers) must be renumbered
because for sure TLG does not number all of the decorated 1 x 2 tiles the same
number with an pb extension - they give each one a different number as best I
know. And then only keep the number available for a little while and do not supply
it for parts from collectible minifigs etc etc.

The problem is Lego did some weird stuff back in that era where they merged some
head and torsos together using one single part number!? See Brickset link which
shows the combined part (Grey + Torso) as 4227735 and not 4524911
https://brickset.com/parts/4227735/mini-upper-part-no-970
So we are definitely looking at a different part in that instance but if you
search for 4227735 on Bricklink it doesn’t appear probably because a merger of
parts like this wouldn’t have fit in with the way BL do things hence why they
probably just used the same code as the brown version?
As for Lego using the same part number for mold variants this is another example
of where Lego themselves never intended anyone to take those differences so literally
|
Hmm, no, the example of jumper studs was given already. It is not a matter of
being anal to recognise mold differences. You can try it yourself with this part:
Newer parts clutches, older ones fall off. I would like to think that TLG intended
that improvement, that they stopped making the old part becasue it was not doing
the job it was supposed to do and that the new part should be sold with new sets.
However, the old part came in older sets and what will you do if a buyer tells
you the old part you sent him is a fake becasue there is no way for him to know
otherwise?
| | because in Legos eyes whatever stud type was used it’s still the same part number
and it’s the all-important and relevant print decal that warrants a different
part code so in my view it’s just unfortunate the BL community has gone to such
lengths to essentially separate the same parts when most people just want the
correct print decal and don’t really care which mold was used!
|
I have no idea what TLG's intentions are with mold changes and mold variants.
My question was posted in catalogue, not selling. You sell lots, not catalogue
entries. You can refer to the catalogue entry in your listing, you could also
use the catalogue image and you might even end up in the price guide for your
listing, but that all has nothing to do with the catalogue entry as reference
source, which is where my question was posted.
The only requirement BL has for you to list a lot with a refrence to the catalogue
entry, is that you must not mix new and used in the same lot. It is a general
selling offence to sell used as new in a lot, but generally not to mix variants.
So I do not think it unfortunate the catalogue can serve as a reference guide
but also as a sales tool. To do both qually well, will always be a challenge.
If every car manufacturer only makes white cars, there will be no other colours.
This does not mean that all consumers by default mostly want a white car, it
just means that car manufacturers are all the same and treat their customers
all the same, no matter what their customers might say or think.
What does happen in the BL listings though is that you frequenlty get a seller
who tells you that it is too much effort to list properly in variants, but price
their non-specific and incorrect unsorted parts at the high price for the scarcer
out of production part. In essence it is not too much work to look up the part
in priceguide, but it is too much work to list it properly. Strange - doing half
a job for the full gain.

As for the Black Torso in question, this is still quite a current part and the
OP should still be able to determine whether it’s a misprint or intended difference
from using brickset and/or Lego site as a reference source!
|
Nope, the differences in question arised in a certain time period, continued
for awhile and then stopped, as I have them from three different sets from three
different years, as I mentioned from 2008 - 2010. I also have the current catalogue
entry for that torso assembly from prior to that period and after that period.
I would agree that for reference purposes it would not even be important if it
occured in only one set at one time. I've had some misprints on tiles like
that and do not bother with it. This however, stood out for the reasons I gave
above.
The LEGO site does not keep its information nor keep a snapshot of the situation
as it was 10 years ago. The information you refer to is either:
1. kept current with current part numbers and current designs; or
2. Not a historical record of what happened.
The LEGO site is not a reference source by any stretch of the imaginaition as
it is designed as a site to sell current replacement parts, not serve as a reference
work (which is what a catalogue does).
And for reference purposes, the part in question was submitted as new entry.

| Hello
I find lego catalog which I can not find in BL inventory.
Code is 3245-Ju. Is seams it is print for Yugoslavia (language is Slovenian).
Does anyone know the year. In my opinion it is something around middle 60s.
I put picture.

As far as I can tell the Lego part number is 4275491 and so if Lego uses this
same part code for all its set appearances then it must be a misprint. I guess
the only way to be sure would be to try using Legos Broken/missing parts service
and then painstakingly check all the sets it appears in and check the toros part
number is the same for all. […]

LEGO uses the same element ID for different variants and prints.
E.g. according to BL,
* | | 3626bpb0203 Minifigure, Head Dark Bluish Gray Moustache and Bushy Eyebrows, Black Cheek Lines, White Pupils Pattern - Blocked Open Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Head |
share the PCC 4524911.
(Happy example with both colour and variant differences. Grey/brown is not a
misprint.)
So you wouldn’t know whether it’s a misprint or a new “revised” print.

There must be different versions of the inventory card. I've attached the

Can you upload a picture of the inventory card you have that only shows one plate?

The Lego catalog
98763-EU
from 1977 was included in the box.
One extra yellow plate
was included. I did not find any use of a third 1*1 plate in any of the alternate
models so it should be an extra.

Hey Randy,
You mentioned "symmetry" here,
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1186509
Now we have a serious problem, because of "symmetry". What can we do?!
My new copy came with three
and four
Four red 1*1 plates are apparently needed to build this alternate model
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1186318
My new copy is a very early version because the instructions has a mistake. This
mistake is corrected on the instructions of my other used copy! See photo attached.(the
mistake is on step 7, a 1*2 black plate is put but no part is underneath to hold
it.)
I requested a collector who has this copy in new condition to check everything
that I submitted in this request. Everything matched in his copy too (good) but
the red and yellow plates (oh no!). In his copy, there are three
and four
Did one plate fall off the box in my or his copy (or both)? Not likely.
The other thing that is different in his copy is the trainrims that are loose,
instead of being assembled to
The instructions in his copy is the later copy (since that mistake is corrected
on it.)
Two 1*1 red plates are needed for that alternate model. So I do not know should
be done here.

The 12v train sets such as

The trainsrims were separate from middle wheels
