There are a lot of minifigures from SDCC2023 with different legs, heads, and
hair. So maybe we only get the torso in the catalog.

Yeah, the press release said: Free Build Your Own Minifigure experience with
a limited-edition LEGO Brickbuster Video themed torso.

So I doubt there are any official figures, just random combinations around the
unique torso.

Thank you guys!

I have a few of the brickbuster minis from comic con 23 and am wondering how
I add them to my inventory? How long does it usually take for something like
this to get added?

welcome to bricklink!
you may want to change this
"Once your order is accepted by the USPS, we will not be held responsible
for loss, theft, or damage" as seller are fully responsible for making sure
the item arrives or not as insurance is for the seller not the buyer you can
still charge for insurance but wether a buyer pays for it or not they are still
covered by Paypal or their bank who will refund their payment for you if a claim
is filed

Thank you so much! I will change it. I did not fully realize that.

  Hi all,
just sharing this both annoying and funny story that happened yesterday. I ordered
some parts from UK store and yesterday received it.
What can I say, I was very surprised to find in the package a black shirt made
from a shiny fabric, not my taste all
I wrote the seller and he replied: I've never seen that shirt before so no
idea how that has turned up.
Of course, this is the courier company fault, not the seller fault. The seller
also refund me and received positive feedback from me.
I just wonder if any of you have more stories like this to tell.

Tow times. When I started using eBay I got a box of used Lego. Inside were
some Lego, toy soldiers, marbles, jacks, and boys underwear. Unfortunately,
the underwear did not fit me.
Then a story I have told here before. I won a bid for 30 pounds of Lego. I got
it and it was short about 5 pounds and half the box was Megabricks. I complained
to the seller and she sent me a box of Lego catalogs. So I complained, these
were not Lego bricks. She said she would not send me any more. After several
emails back and forth, I told her she did not have to ship the rest, I found
several 100 dollar bills hidden in one of the catalogs. She went ballistic on
me,demanding the money be returned. Then husband started emailing me, again
was very threatening me. There was no money in the catalogs. But, from what
went down for them I am sure they missed several hours of sleep over the next
week. That was really fun for me.

John P

I will have to remember this.

It? Who?
BrickLink?

  I have not changed anything that I know of. I broke the
inventory into two lots, erased comments and remarks, and checked for spaces.
Any help would be amazing. Thank you

Don't you mix up Mass Upload and Update?

Eventually paste this in a Notepad (txt file) and post a screen copy of it (imgur
?)
Or send it to me PM?

Thank you for some reason my sleep deprived brain didn't realize that I was
scrolling to the bottom of the page. Blah Thank you. I have been trying everything
for the last hour.

Hi I am having a problem uploading my inventory file. I have uploaded inventory
already and have no clue why it is giving me this problem. It just keeps saying
invalid file format. I have not changed anything that I know of. I broke the
inventory into two lots, erased comments and remarks, and checked for spaces.
Any help would be amazing. Thank you

BrickStoRE or BrickStoCK?

USD area???

What are you talking about? Pictures?

Its not letting me add the picture. I have to figure out how to change the size.
The problem is on my add parts screen. The area that has % USD then an amount
is highlighted red and the add button is grayed out. I will try and get A pic
asap.

You're trying to set a tiered price on a zero price.

It's the wrong field; see above there is the Price field to fill in.

Thank you so much. I see what I did now. I did not notice the tiered prices were
at zero before. I appreciate your time. Have a great day.

  Also, try to crop it to the interesting part: the forum will reduce the width
to 640 pixels anyway (so, blurry and illegible if you put too many things).

No problem, I know how to right click open the picture in another tab and hit
CTRL + "+" to enlarge it enough.

But maybe it's because I'm too old

I’m for solving the problems at the root

Also, maybe OP will need to make other pictures someday.

That fixed it thank you so much!!!!

software. This is my first inventory.

I am trying to figure out how to cost my bulk. I get my bulk at about $2#. I
focus on minis and pieces that have a value of .05 or more. I have been trying
to figure out how to cost the items I find in these bulk buys. Does anyone even
cost bulk out? does anyone have any recommendations? I want to have the money
part figured out and my book keeping up to date for taxes before I even open.
Also any advice for a new seller would be welcomed.

Welcome to BrickLink! I don't know what the laws are for California, but
as far as I'm aware, there's no need to incorporate as a business. However,
you will most likely have to declare your business income on your tax return.
There are multiple ways to do that and you may want to speak to an accountant
to figure out what option is best for you. As a small store with only a few hundred
dollars per year in sales, I typically use the standard worksheets provided by
the IRS (Schedules 1 and C).

Hope that helps.

I am new to bricklink and have just registered to become a seller. I have tons
of used parts that I want to sell and am trying to decide what program I want
to use for inventory. I first want to make as many sets as I can and then sell
the sets that I don't want and pieces that I won't use. This is more
of a hobby but I have the time to make it a business. I am looking for something
that will manage just what I want to sell. If there is a free one that would
be awesome, if not I don't mind a monthly payment for something that works
well. I tried to download one of them and it keeps saying I can't connect
to a ssg server or something. I have some knowledge about computers but not coding
or anything. Is the bricklink inventory system good? should I use something else?
Any advise is gladly welcomed. Thank you.

I want to start a store and I definitely have enough LEGO right now so I don’t
want to have to buy from a bunch of places and hope. Is there a place where sellers
list that they give feedback?
