I've had mixed results too.

I've bought bricks from a seller just labelled used and they've been
like new, from another labelled exactly the same and they've gone straight
into my scrap bin.

Some labelled as normal wear for age and they've been gauged, bitten numerous
times or absolutely covered in scratches,not light wear marks or odd scratches.

  Not sure if this has been brought up before, but is there a possibility to have
more options for listing used items? For example, I was shopping around for a
few hard to find, relatively expensive minifigs and in searching I notice from
lowest price to highest the Used ones of course are usually listed first, and
I appreciate sellers putting descriptions to help out, but most listings under
Used simply don't have more details. Especially if we are all using stock
photos, it's hard to discern between used minifigs when all have the same
stock photo and just listed under "used." Honestly, I just don't take a chance
on those and look for used with a description that has "like new" or "adult owner,
never played with" "displayed only" "great condition." etc.

Again, sellers have to type in those descriptions, but can there be options such
as "used - like new" "used - heavy playwear" etc. to give more accurate listings?
I guess a store's front page can be a good place to generally describe your
items too. Just a thought and if it's easier like it is then so be it and
I will advise sellers to try to give good descriptions for used expensive items

Part 15107 in two shades of trans blue, only trans light blue known in sets but
trans medium blue listed for sale.

Thought I'd just confirm there are variations/different trans blues.

Info only.

Definitely the latter, sadly.

I'd suggest paracetamol too but that would make them a drug dealer.

World production of paracetamol is concentrated in China and India, the two countries
occupy about 89.86% of the global production (China 70% India 19%, as per 2018
stats), and their marketshare has been increasing in recent years.

Today, it's over 90% of the world's production. And to be even more specific
in displaying the irony, the production is in the Wuhan area of China, where
the current Corona virus pandemic originated.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry at your attempt at levity. Maybe go with
the best emotion I know, that is a equal mixture of both.

-Cory

It's our nature biting us in our butt. In 10 years I wonder how we look back
at these times: will it be our last chance for major change in our thinking and
acting, or do we need a couple of more 'virusses' to smash our egoïstic
nature to smithereens.... I am afraid the latter is more likely to become reality.

Still Tuesday here.

  Dear BrickLink,

Considering the worldwide situation, the financial measures already started in
many countries (including the USA and the EU) and the financial measured not
yet taken, and the obvious consequences of all these (like inflation, devaluation,
and total financial and fiducial chaos), I’d like to strongly suggest BrickLink
add two new, but actually quite ancient, (mostly) universal, and staple currencies:
TP (Toilet Paper) and PST (Pasta).

Thank you,
Sylvain


PS: we’re Wednesday in France.

I have this item with solid studs, so should be under 4215a

It is currently under 4215 which is undetermined.

Can anyone check the third picture - comes up too small for me, to see the studs

If they are solid, which I think they are, this wants re-assigning to a 4215a
number

Thanks
