listing specialized used parts moving forward. However, due to some behind-the-scenes

So, you know what that means—it’s sale time! 🎉
We're kicking off the sale with a 15% discount on all used parts, and every
few weeks, the discount will increase. The sale will continue until late December/early
January, by which time we expect to reach our maximum discount. At that point,
any remaining items will be delisted.
Please note that this sale is for used parts only. While I don’t always use the
6-month average for pricing, if you’re patient and your favourite pieces don’t
sell, they’ll get even cheaper as the discounts grow!
Thank you for your support, and happy shopping!

We are now at 65% off! In (approx) 2 weeks. we will do 1 last increase in the
sale to 75% off! then January 1st we will purge all remaining used inventory!
Also please note, once we increase the sale % to 75% off, we will also be purging
additional lots like is done at recent sale increases. The purge will consist
mostly of parts that after the sale % fall below 3 cents each

| | Just wanted to check whether if I left neutral/negative feedback for a seller
they would then have the opportunity to leave negative feedback about me?
I placed a £20+ order with a seller. It was received in a timely manner and everything
was ok bar one piece. The piece was a variant of another item (both with different
codes - so they are recognised as distinct) but it would be a simple mistake
to get them mixed up.
I emailed the seller (offering to return it) and it took them a week to respond.
They apologised for the delayed response and the error and offered a refund.
All reasonable so far. Two weeks later no refund, tried to contact them over
the weekend and no response yet (admittedly it has only been 48 hours).
Am considering leaving neutral feedback - as it is a simple mistake (not malicious
I am sure) but I am irked by the offer a refund and no follow through and the
delay.
If I do leave netural feedback and they retaliate - how could I get the feedback
deleted?
Thanks

Based on my buying experience here, if a seller accepts to refund, he either
has already done it (check PayPal transaction and the order's page to see
whether a refund is made).
It is possible the seller forgot since this is not his main job but only a hobby.
Since the refund value is low and seller accepted to refund, I would message
him again, and wait a few weeks. You have 180 days to leave a bad feedback so
there is no need to rush for that.
A neutral feedback is considered nearly like a negative feedback. Simply think:
neutral = negative = BAD
I would not just leave a bad feedback unless for more serious issue. If you leave
many bad feedbacks, you would be perceived as a buyer who is likely to leave
bad feedbacks -- a difficult buyer who can easily harm seller's reputation.
Sellers can check feedbacks left by buyer and they can stoplist any buyer so
the issue is not just whether you have received a negative/neutral feedback or
not.
This is something to consider so I would make sure the reason for a bad feedback
is strong enough.

| Have you checked your PayPal account? Some older (as in long time) sellers might
still be refunding via PayPal rather than via bricklink, as that is the way it
used to get done. Check the payment you sent to see if a follow-up credit was
made.

Who would have thought the word mint would cause so much chaos in the Lego community.
Bricklink is not the same place it used to be. I will be manually going through
my entire store to reassess whether the box and instructions for each set are
mint or good, where mint means perfect and good means 1 or two creases. And
I must restate that these are my own photos. None of them have been taken from
the Lego website. For proof, my full collection video can be found at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1koWi3MtZ0

I would also have a look at your sets you have listed as complete but then missing
minifigs e.g. your sith infiltrator missing Darth Maul. I notice that several
have already been reported.

And look at the manuals for the Saturn V, Y Wing and Ferrari. They look very
curved and the Ferrari one looks like it was forced a bit to keep it open. A
mint condition manual shouldn't look like that. The Ferrari box also looks
a bit creased by the open end.

yeah I would definitely not call those instructions "mint"

ONE of your lists has duplicate items and that blocks ALL your lists.
If you try to edit a list, you’ll see the message “Only one item/color combination
is allowed per wanted list.” There’s no message when you use Apply Order….
Check on the list of WLs, the culprit should be marked: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/list.page
Then open it, the duplicate(s) should be marked.
Delete the duplicate(s) and it should work again.

Wrong analogy here, using numismatics. That's to say "has not been circulated"
or "came straight from the mint" is simply termed as Uncirculated and
is only a partial descriptor of condition.
Mint is a grading term not to be conflated with the process of minting. The US
does mint a line of coins strictly intended for collectors and collecting, which
does not factor the circulated/uncirculated term at all, and which are only pressed
or stamped in MS or Mint State and higher, the term for these is Proof
| | It is arguable that it is not actually possible for any used item of lego to be "mint"
Using "mint" to mean "not obviously damaged" is so vague and
meaningless that it borders on misrepresentation.
The word has particular limitations when it comes to Lego. Check item listings
for minifigs for example, where it is fairly common to find listings like: "Mint
condition, just missing the head". All mint seems to mean is that there
are no obvious surface scratches, which isn't any different from other descriptions
such as "Very good." The way this word gets used on Bricklink, (including
boxes that have been opened, and instructions that have been thumbed through)
has rendered it completely meaningless as a descriptor of quality and condition.
It conveys no information other than the excited sellers judgement that his item
is awesome in his own opinion.
|
|
So you could agree then mint is not a proper word to describe lego, as in that
context its either circulated or uncirculated. which means new or used? Or are
we going to confuse this more as "proof" being a mint item, that is new
but contained in a minted coin cover by the mint to represent a mint condition?
Asking for a friend

Yeah, I’ve no idea where you or your friend, are going with this
Put more directly, the point being argued by calebfishn would be better served
with a more suitable analogy. That's all...
Wrong analogy here, using numismatics. That's to say "has not been
circulated" or "came straight from the mint" is simply termed as
Uncirculated and is only a partial descriptor of condition.
As to the topic, I've heard it hashed-out so many times here, I’m no longer
interested in enjoining my opinion. It is good reading, though. Mostly for the
interactions
