I’ll include pics. Does anyone have this same color?

These are regular blue. Some blue bricks when they age turn this color.
|
Yes, you are right, I now see what parts it is and this is probably a lot of
discoloration due to the sunlight.
|
This discoloration is not due to sunlight, just the age of the bricks. They uniformly
turn this color, exposed to light or not. Just something in the dye that is causing
this. It mainly impacts a specific set of parts, over a specific set of years
that this was used.

| I would like this! I would love to offer some of the items I have in my store
for a low price. For instance, I have lots of poly bags of the same type that
I would love for customers to be able to get for just $1 or $2 (or even for free).
However, if I'd list them for $1 or $2, someone would buy them all. Listing
them with "you may only buy one" does not work, someone will just buy them all
anyway, and I'll have to re-upload them. A big Yes from me.

I would suggest that if they ask for falsification of customs AFTER they place
an order, you should NOT let them cancel but file NPB. This way, the buyer will
learn and either ask before placing an order, or better yet, accept that it is
not OK to ask sellers to lie on official custom forms.
In my experience, after filing NPB, more than half pay for the order, while the
other ones get a strike, and will have to be more careful going forward. If you
merely cancel the order the buyer will keep doing this behavior. If you are a
good seller and value the community, you file NPB, not cancel the order.

| | | I would be very happy to see BrickLink move to a very simple invoice involving
the below.
1. Cost for items purchased
2. Shipping
3. Handling (material costs for packaging)
That's it; nothing else. Any fees or other costs should all be worked into the
pricing in a sellers items. Ideally all of this should be seen on the final
checkout page prior to submitting your order.
|
That is quite shortsided. It is simply not possible to work everything into the
cost of the item. Picking and packing a 1x1 plate with a value of $0.01 will
take at least a few seconds, of not many 10's of seconds. Even at minimum wage,
that is a cost that is many times more the price of the item. Per this reasoning,
all pieces would have to cost a minimum of about $0.20 or so, if not even more.
That would defeat the whole purpose of getting simple parts cheap. The potential
low item cost of a lot makes the bricklink business unlike every other model.
You can't buy 2 peas at the supermarket, and 2 slices of bread, and half-a-cup
of milk. Many stores that change lot fees have always advocated that they'd want
this to be incorporated into bricklink, so each store could upfront be very clear
and open about fees per lot if they do not meet certain requirements. These fees
are perfectly fine, and perfectly understandable, but it is also clear that they
must be very clearly written into the terms. Complaining after the fact is moot.
Either accept the terms as is, or shop elsewhere, but it is not feasible to force
sellers to work for less than minimum wage by forcing a non-economically-sensible
restriction onto their terms.

You are wrong here Troy. At work, any time people want something from me, I gather
a few of these people that always have slightly different opinions and ideas,
and tell them to form a committee, and report their findings to me. That is usually
the end of it. So, they are a good thing if used "properly"

| I'm all for option B) only complete figs.
This is VERY easy to understand, there is NO confusion possible.
I also am still strongly against the implementation of listing incomplete new
sets, I can understand that older sets' parts may be hard to find, but taking
specific pieces out of a new set and still listing it under the same breath/listing
as a complete set is, plain and simple, ridiculous. I'd love to see new sets
and ALL figs (new and used) only be listed when complete, anything else is just
a bunch of parts, and should be listed under custom lot.

| I would certainly support this. For those that do not know, for a 5 year period
I had free shipping, so it would be easier for newbies to buy while knowing how
much their total would be. I had to do away with it, because in order to offer
free shipping, I had to raise prices above stores that do not offer free shipping.
In many instances, with free shipping I was significantly cheaper than others,
but because my store was much lower in the rankings, I in the end decided to
lower prices, and made buyers pay for shipping.
I would love the following system, as an OPTION:
Upon checkout, offer the buyer to pay either my "standard shipping fee", or else
elect to wait for an invoice to be send within 3 days that will reflect actual
postage.
If they select "standard shipping fee", I would charge them something like $2
plus 10% of order domestic and $4 per oder plus 20% for international.
This way, buyers can know upfront what the charges are and pay instantly, which
would be great for newbies.
Moreover, option 1 could be executed without signing up for a BL account, whereas
option 2 (invoiced) would only be for registered members.
Paul
ps. this is a coarse idea, and can use fine-tuning.
