  Hi,

I have had my Bricklink shop open for about 6 months and I have only received
10 sales. Can someone tell me a way to increase my sales? Look through my shop
and tell me what I should do to increase my sales. Thanks for your help!


More inventory, minifigures, minifigure parts.

Also your shipping cost is way too expensive. $7.70 to ship a 3 ounce package
from Jersey to CT in almost double cost if you purchase the label online.

  I was looking through a bulk lot I bought and I think I may have found a misprint.
I see
Part, Minifigure Head 3626bpx119 but the printed hair on the head above the eyes
and eyepatch is missing, as well as the stubble. The picture is a bit blurry
but it looks clear enough to tell that it’s a misprint. Let me know what you
guys think about this.

There is a hair piece covering where all the printed hair would be. And as far
as the stubble, it may be worn off but can't tell from the photo.

Take a better photo of just the head without the hair piece.

  This is my first time trying to buy parts. I have a wanted list that has 156
items on it. I select BUY ALL and multiple stores pop up. I select a store and
it says "84 matching lots found." Does that mean it does not include
all 156 items on my list even though I selected that I wanted to buy all the
parts? Thanks!

They buy all will create carts in multiple stores, but the least amount needed
to buy all the parts.

  This is annoying. I sold to two people a bunch of expensive figures in excellent
condition for a great deal. At least one of the buyers has a store, and will
probably resell them for a profit. Yet they didn't leave me feedback. As
a new store, this is important to me to have positive feedback. I mailed the
orders same or next day, and even saved one of the buyers $15 on shipping. I
sent them "friendly reminders" to post feedback, but still nothing. What
do I do, what can I do?

You have to learn to not care A LOT of buyers do not leave feedback.

  I have been using Bricklink as a buyer for a little less than a year now. I have
a question for the Sellers out there. When a lot for sale has a number of items
just slightly more than what I need, I always buy out the rest of the lot thinking
that I was helping the Seller by cleaning out those parts for them. As a result,
I then have some more off the shelf parts in my collection for my building purposes.(ie.
I need 4 of the part and the seller has 7 so I buy all 7).

Is my thinking clear on this or does it help the Seller to retain those parts
as they have more Lots in their store? It may not matter at all, but I was wondering
if my logic may have been making their store seem "smaller" to some degree
because they had fewer lots for sale.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Best Regards!

I would prefer a buyer buying them all, but as a buyer don't feel obligated
to not leave 1 or 2 parts per lot.

  ... about contests with prizes that excite, resuming?

It’s been awhile since ConstrucToys ran its last contest. I actually thought
that our contests we've run throughout the years, would continue without
the popsicle influence. That’s clearly not the case, it seems now. Don’t know
why, really. But the why doesn’t really matter, does it? What does matter, is
whether there any longer exists an appreciation for the contest in the
forum?

Let us know and we’ll consider sponsoring them again. It could be that today’s
forum no longer needs the dynamic excitement and distraction the forum contest
has offered members over the years.

-ConstrucToys

I always enjoy the contests.

  Hello,

Fond these in a bulk lot a while ago, was sure they were badly made counterfeit
figs. They are all one single mold and have no movable parts.

Then a friend of mine stopped by and looked a bit closer - and actually he found
that under the feet they are molded with whats looks like "C) and LEGO".
A bit hard to tell 100 % but at least four of them have pretty clear LEGO marking.

Usually counterfeit parts do not have the word LEGO marked.

Anyone else have seen them and may know what they are?

Thanks for any insight,

/Niclas

ya they look someone put them in the oven for awhile and melted them

Offer a refund if they send it back.

But I will say that should NOT have been listed in great condition. If you do
add words like great or like new make sure it really is.

If i purchased that and the listing said great condition I would be upset. If
it was just listed as used I would be happy with it.

Also just have a look at the instructions for a set that contains the motors,
you will see how they attach and how the parts are hidden ect.

one, is it the same as the one in the video or another reason? Sixteen curved
or straight? Don't see a number for the straight so you can add however many
as long as you have sixteen curves? Sorry for the many questions and thanks for
the help!

Sorry 16 curve and 2 straight for a loop. I listed 9v stuff since that is what
is in the video but you can use modern motors as well and they are cheaper.

all the modern train stuff is compatible with the plastic track

So you make a train by attaching the motor to the bottom and adding wheels, on
top goes a battery pack and you hide it with the exterior of the train. You will
also need a remote that is compatibel with the motor. Do I understand it correctly?

bb0892c01 is a very chonkey looking boi. 58123c01 Confused me what does it do?

So you make a train by attaching the motor to the bottom and adding wheels?
yes with a boogie plate the motor attaches to the bottom of the train plate.
add wheels to the motor.

on top goes a battery pack and you hide it with the exterior of the train.?
yes the motor needs power and you hide the battery inside the train compartment.

you will also need a remote that is compatibel with the motor?
yes certain motor use certain controllers.

This might be the cheapest solution to motorize it but you need to check if the
Harry Potter train is 30 studs long.

https://youtu.be/umFZekC4mOw?feature=shared

Would love to buy the train and get it running as well. I own a lot of 2001-2002
HP sets and want a train to use as a Pokemon go egg hatcher so why not kill two
birds with one stone? Problem is am not an experienced with the pieces required
to get a train running. Stuck on how he got wheels that can turn. But also don’t
know anything about Lego motors.

for a loop

Are other rails like the modern ones also compatible with this train motor?
Or is the iron needed for whats the word.. forming a circuit? Why recommend that
one, is it the same as the one in the video or another reason? Sixteen curved
or straight? Don't see a number for the straight so you can add however many
as long as you have sixteen curves? Sorry for the many questions and thanks for
the help!

Sorry 16 curve and 2 straight for a loop. I listed 9v stuff since that is what
is in the video but you can use modern motors as well and they are cheaper.
