| The track indicates a radius of 24 studs (it’s in the name) so the outer perimeter
of the circle is 2 x pi x r, which gives 150.80 studs. Inner perimeter
use 8 studs less for the radius, so the inner perimeter length is 100.50 studs.

| For me, it’s more about having to compare in the first place. If I look at several
Dark Gray or several Dark Bluish Gray parts, I can’t guess which color they are
until I can compare with a part of the other color. Then it becomes evident,
but just having to perform this comparison is tedious.

hmmm, I have difficulty telling Light Gray and Light Bluish Gray apart, sometimes,
but not so with Dark Gray and Dark Bluish Gray. But then I also have problems
with the Azures vs. Turquoise, Brown vs. Reddish Brown (due to normal color variation
some Brown parts look like Reddish Brown), etc.

| Feel free to disagree, but it is pretty clear that they are not required for
a used set based on Bricklink's definition:
Complete - Set
contains all parts necessary to build all of the models (including alternate
models) in the instructions but does not have to contain the original box/packaging
and/or extra parts.
Only the large plumes are shown in the example I give in the instructions. Smaller
plumes never make an appearance and are thus not required to build the model
and are considered extra parts. I'll still call out that they are not included,
but I will mark any sets as complete according to what Bricklink defines.

I disagree on this, because then the extra plumes should not be listed here on
bricklink as a part of the inventory of the set, but should be listed as extra
parts. IMO a set is complete, when all parts listed in the BL inventory are present,
so as it is now the extra plumes have to be there in order for you to list it
as complete.

| Black eyebrow minifigs have been created for 9348 and the changes are all finished
or pending.
In Inventories, tonnic writes:
| | I have 2 Lego education sets, 9348 and 9349.
In both sets the males have head 3626bpb0628 (head with black eyebrows) instead
of 3626bpb0121 (head with brown eyebrows).
In both sets the heads are not even with different eyebrows but also with stud
recessed instead of blocked open stud with triangle.
There is a note below the 22 minifigs of set 9348 regarding the two possible
different heads, not with the set 9349.
Also only a note below the list of 22 minifigs, NOT with the individual minifigs.
Eventhough the minifigs of set 9348 have a note regarding the black instead of
brown eyebrows I think this would not be enough, it does not show on a picture
or with the minifig inventory.
So it is very rudimentary in my opinion.
Although I have the minifigs in hands I do not have the possibility anymore to
upload the right minifigs due to the use of an iPad. Bricklink needs a code below
the minifig and parts, this cannot be done with an iPad.
Bricklink cadmin can make a note below set 9349 like with set 9348 but I think
this is not the real Bricklinkway.
If customers do not read the line below the 22 minifigs they might believe they
received the wrong minifig because inventory does not show the alternate head
and because the note regarding the different heads/eyebrows do not show at the
minifigure itself.
What can be done with this isue due to the lack of a laptop/computer?

The catalog is pretty good at showing you the similar molds for the same parts.
So you will learn along as you inventory your collection on BrickLink specifically.
| | It is my understanding that there are many, many, cases where different molds
were used to produce the same sets. Sometimes due to different factories, or
changing molds mid production. Sometimes the same factory was using different
mold variations at the same time on different machines.

Yep, the Alternatives section on set inventories will inform you of all the known
different production runs. From there you should pick the single alternative
you have the most parts of at hand and stick to it for this particular set.

I don't know about Europe, but in the U.S., sales tax is based on the location

Hi,
you can only exclude buyers with negative feedback score from buying, but not
specifically for a NPB.

| Nothing happens. I reported some members linking their Instagram and eBay pages
which is againt the TOS but BL didn't care, the report simply disappeared
after a few weeks.
I also reported some items which were listed prior to the official LEGO release
date under custom category which is also against the rules but nothing happened
either...

Ok, so what happens now? someone modifies the notes to include that the collar
is changed?

I believe the Additional Notes on part 6628a already cover the variants that
are possible, including the ring below the tow ball (what you are calling the
collar). The parts will not be split.

| As long as you get your seller status, you've jumped through enough hoops
that most buyers won't care about your feedback. I had a friend recently
go through the approval process and it's crazy what you need to provide as
proof to open a store now. It's great for buyer protection but I can't
imagine going through that myself just to sell some lego.

I have been sorting and cataloging hundreds of pounds of bricks off-and-on for

I do not intend to sell individual pieces unless they are particularly rare or

The 918 is one of my favs. I think I have five of them at the moment. I've

Buying used parts, you have to be ready to discard some lots you will receive.
Most of the time I've been able to obtain a refund, especially when it's
obviously damaged, but sometimes it's just normal play wear but I don't
feel like using it to complete a set for sale.
On the other hand I've received Used parts that were looking like New, those

I definitely do my best to get the correct mold variations/era specific pieces,
but I am open to any resources that can educate me further. Often one does not
know what they do not know.
Colours first (old grey vs Bley, old brown vs reddish brown), then things like
pips, font, underside pins, pat pending, etc. Some pieces are functionally slightly
different, such as thin-ring vs thick-ring, and those are easy to spot.
It is my understanding that there are many, many, cases where different molds
were used to produce the same sets. Sometimes due to different factories, or
changing molds mid production. Sometimes the same factory was using different
mold variations at the same time on different machines.
I definitely intend to do my best, but also lead with the possibility that mold
variation mishaps may exist, and to ask me first if there are any concerns.
This is one of several reasons why I wish to add original photos to each listing.
That may prove to simply be wasted time, but I want people to be happy with
what they receive.

HI and welcome!
I hope my comments don't come off as a grumpy bubble burster, but if you
are going to sell vintage sets, you really need to have the correct era parts
to complete them with. If you mix part eras you need to state this in your listings
or you will have unhappy customers. I keep 4 completely separate collections
of spare parts from each decade to complete sets with.
Also learn the many MANY vintage mold variants. I had been collecting for 30
years and didn't know them all. Classic space buyers WILL know and WILL complain
if you don't get the set correct 100%.
OR you need to state in the listing that variants and eras are mixed
Actually the small sets sell and the big sets sit, even at good pricing.
Do not bother with the pics or watermark, spend your time double checking the
set inventory for accuracy instead.
I got my start selling vintage sets. People will buy them even if you have low
to no feedback, so let the "trust" thought go. The old stuff sells itself.
Otherwise, welcome

| Of course, you aren't in competition with all the other sellers, but you
are in competition with the sellers that have the same "business" model in your
local geographical region. I sell mostly sets and very few parts but I'm
an avid buyer for the same reason as you, so it's possible that we will be
in competition to buy parts to restore the same set, and then be in competition
to sell it. Your announce could have made me nervous if I was staking my livelihood
on my BL store which I thankfully don't need nor want to do.
Although if you're missing a bunch of Light Gray/Dark Gray parts, feel free
to browse my store, I can't stand these colors and I'd like to get rid
of my two inconvenient bags.
In Feedback, Bulklotboy writes:

Honestly, I don't see it as competition much. The people selling are also
the people who are buying, or at least that is the way it seems on Bricklink.
Vintage sets often have missing or broken pieces, discoloration, damage, etc,
and there is only so much "out there" in terms of filling that need to get a
nice complete set. No two sellers are going to have the exact inventories in
the exact same area. If there was no "competition" then there would probably
be no buyers either, hehe.
I have an extensive parts-needed list here on BL (BL is utterly fantastic in
this feature alone) that has been slowly whittled down by finding pieces I need
in additional lots I find. Inevitably I will still need to order parts from
other brick fans here on BL.
It's the circle of brick!

market is a totally different ball game from selling new pieces. There are way

I have a lot of classic castle, pirates, town, and space (which I want to keep).
I believe everything I have is at the very least retired if not vintage.
I had a large city in early 90s, and want to build one again once I have the
room. I have been planning a large Neo-Classic space MOC too.

Yes.

Not if payment was made using PayPal.

send it?

I don't know, I was only talking about PayPal.

addresses for buyers?

I can think of no other reason.
However, I must say again: Sellers *must* ship to the PayPal address or they
lose seller protection.

My invoice template does not say this. I have not changed the language of the

Yes, and the seller takes on risk when they do not use the PayPal address. Before
PayPal stopped refunding fees, there was a simple solution. The order could be
cancelled and the buyer could re-order after updating the PayPal address. Now
there is an issue as to who pays the fees for the cancelled order.

card is still registered with your old address, but you provide the new and

Lego would be at fault, because they ask for the shipping address before processing
the order. I don't know rules Lego's payment processor has.

| Just list everything that’s ready to be listed. As long as sets are accurately
described and competitively priced, they’ll sell. People will buy small sets
individually. Town sets don’t tend to sell as well, but any 80s-90s space, castle,
and pirates will move. I have not noticed people adding on small sets to larger
orders. Sets generally take a lot longer to sell so don’t get discouraged.

I can't see that your store terms says that you ship to PayPal address. Was
his bricklink address also wrong? If not, then it's seller who did a mistake.
I would also blame seller even if terms said that you ship to PayPal address.
From the eyes of a buyer, he added his shipping address in bricklink, he buys
from bricklink. Invoice says it will be shipped to bricklink address. When paying,
he doesn't see his PayPal address which could have been added years ago.
I'd say that it's sellers responsible to verify that PayPal address and
bricklink address are the same before shipping to PayPal address.
|
I disagree. Sellers *must* ship to the PayPal address or they lose seller protection.
If you do not ship to the PayPal address, the buyer can open a PayPal case and
the seller will automatically lose even if the shipping status shows that the
package was delivered to the "updated" address. This is a common scam.
|
I doubt this is common. 90% of my orders used to go untracked worldwide for many
years, so it would not even have mattered if addresses matched or not, and I
never had a single problem with that. If people want to steal, they can do this
easily whether addresses match or not. Just order untracked or disallow PayPal
to draw funds form the connected bank account. That will undo the payment without
even needing to start a claim. Bottomline, it's easy to get screwed over
as a seller with PayPal in either case But it's just not common - or,
at least, never happened in my case.
The Bricklink address is the address the buyer expects the order to be shipped
to, otherwise why would they enter it. It doesn't serve any other purpose
than that, while PayPal address do have other purposes (e.g. the billing address,
or account verification). So the most logical assumption would be that the Bricklink
address would be used (also because that's similar to entering a shipping
address in webshops).
Of course, sellers can specify otherwise in their terms if they want, but it
has to be really clear.
I agree though it's not an ideal system and ideally there'd be a system
where they automatically match so any possible confusion would disappear (or
maybe it already works like that with IC?)

Yeah, well, I thought you already had some of the parts but if you haven’t any,

Fellow sellers, what do you think is the right course of action?

How slight is the change? We had a similar case and was able to remove the return
stickers, change the address with a pen, and reship it. It arrived no problem
and no one had to pay another shipping charge.
Then there was another case where the post office returned the package even though
the address was correct. We just reshipped it with the same label and it got
to the customer.
So no one may have to pay another shipping charge.

okay
i think i got it
so say i was going to get "Electric Light Brick 1 x 8 with 3 Front Light Prisms"
would i just connect "Electric Plate 2 x 4 with Contacts" to the things on the
bottom?

Nope, it’s a brick with prisms, there’s no light. But there’s two holes on the
bottom in which you can put the light of a light brick (and the prisms then redirect
the light to the front).
So you need two 1x2 light bricks (with light on top) between the plate and the
1x8 prisms brick.
So, a 2x8 plate with contacts, two 1x2 light brick on top, on the long side (2
studs occupied by a light brick, 4 empty studs, 2 studs for the other light brick
= 8 studs long), then the 1x8 prisms brick on top of the lights.

| I have no idea where your characterization could have come in, but that is not
even close to what I said. We parted out set 10257, which had the alternate
minifigure twn292a included (torso for twn292a, NOT twn292). We listed the complete
minifigure twn292a. The difference between twn292a and its alternate twn292
in set 10257 is the torso. One torso makes that minifigure twn292 (not the one
we had). The other makes it twn292a (the one we had). We never had the torso
to make twn292. We had the torso to make twn292a. So we listed twn292a. We
were trying to indicate that there is a difference between twn292a and twn292,
and that difference is a different torso.
We never listed 10257 in our inventory so your comment about complete/incomplete
set is not applicable.
We never listed an incomplete minifigure, so comments about incomplete minifigures
is not applicable.
We never indicated the minifigure was incomplete, so comments about incomplete
minifigures is not applicable.
We never substituted a different torso trying to sell it as a different minifigure.
It was not, in fact, the cheaper minifigure. In fact, when the minifigure was
first listed in 2019, there was no price difference between the two, and I take
exception to your suggestion that anything done was inappropriate.

is complete with either minifigure. Maybe it was an honest mistake on your part,
but the appearance is that you tried to list it as the more expensive minifigure
with a description that it was in fact the cheaper minifigure.

Our comments indicated that the minifigure torso was an alternate to twn292

(You may notice that this note is now included in the official database). No
clue how that note could be misinterpreted as indicating the minifigure was incomplete,
but to your point, there are reports being made in error and items getting deleted
without question off of them. It sure would be nice if they were placed in stockroom
rather than dumped, especially when the report itself is the error, but that's
where we find ourselves.

Figures cannot be listed as incomplete. Either they are complete per the instructions

In my settings i only see "sending to 100% of all countries worldwide". Where
is a setting for single US states? Interesting also that states like Florida,

I haven't received any bug-reports for such a problem.
There are however three things to check:
1) In the case the BrickStore installer told you to restart your system, you
really should do it. This is not my idea of aggravating users, but Microsoft
decided to distribute mini-Windows updates with their C/C++ runtime packages
that I have to install alongside BrickStore.
2) Disable your anti-virus (all of them) and see if BrickStore starts now
3) Update the drivers of your graphics card (especially if you don't have
a dedicated one and you are using the integrated Intel graphics)
See also here for currently known problems and workarounds (also has a link to
the Intel drivers):

PS: Use the x64 version if possible - the 32bit x86 one is constantly running
out of memory with the high-resolution item images in use nowadays.

By what?
There are metallic connectors on the side of the studs and on the anti-stud at
the bottom.
They are more visible on the black plate-connectors of the wire.
The “cabinets” go on top of a light brick (here a 1x4, with two lights).
The light brick has metallic connectors at the bottom.
These connect to the metallic connectors on the studs on on of the plate-ends
of the wire.
The other plate-end of the wire connect, by the metallic connectors it has at
the bottom, on the top of the yellow battery box (in which you have to put a
9V battery before).
They connect to the studs on top of the yellow battery also include metallic
connectors.
So the wire goes from the bottom of one side of the battery box to the top of
the other side.
And another light brick (a 1x2) is put on top on the wire’s plate connector.
When you push the grey button on the battery, the lights light. If you turn
the light brick around, it behaves differently (blink / continuous).
Anyway, page 6 explains the general principle.
