  Got refund and store shut down.
Feel bad !
But it is a way to protect buyer !!!



A refund in the beginning would have eliminated all of the trouble.

How did you get these? This is only one set, how likely is it that a bulk purchase
would have had 3 of these sets included?

  A seller is NRS, and after having a problem ticket filed, is then messaging me
in making threats and saying that orders are legally binding contracts.
*Dispute is over additional charges*
Can I please have some clarity from the community if orders are in fact legally
binding contracts, and if so which legal system governs them, and how are they
enforced?
Thank you kindly,
CBS

Sure they are legally binding, but lawyers are expensive and likely the fee for
1 hour of a lawyer would be more than the value of your order.

So enforcement of the contract is highly unlikely. The typical recourse is handled
through the non-paying buyer section of BrickLink.

  Hi everyone,

I moved to USA recently but once I want to change my address in my personal profile

This situation always happen on my account,once I chose a new country, that "Change
Address" bottom will turn into unvalid status and can not be clicked. I try to
refresh my page, but it was no use. I upload a image to show how the situation
is.

Anyone has occur this situation? Does Bricklink has some restrict on this change
? If you have some solution plan, please let me know, Thanks

I didn't change my address, but I went through the steps.

Make sure you put in all the required fields (Address, City, State, Zip) and
then it should allow you to click the "Change Address" button.

You can contact the stores and tell them what you need and ask if they will give
you a bypass password if they are willing to allow you to order more than their
limit.

Good to know, I didn't know the bypass password worked for lot limits too.

Send a message to the seller asking to remove the lot limit temporarily.

Or

Place an order under the lot limit. Send an email to the seller stating you
want to purchase more. Have the seller mark the order so that no further orders
can be combined with the first order.

Place a second/third/fourth... order under the lot limit.

The seller may requirement payment before an additional order is placed.

Have seller send you an invoice for combined shipping.

  hello,
I sent order out, tracking shows delivered, buyer says he did not receive.

what is my obligation at this point?
i dont feel that I have any obligation to refund or send duplicate parts to the
buyer. what say you?

If you ordered a package from Amazon/Best Buy/Target and you never received it,
what you would expect of Amazon/Best Buy/Target?

You should do the same.

I expect to get my package and would request a refund or another package sent.

  Saw this article pop up on reddit and thought it was interesting. Who's
up for the challenge?

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20578627

Ugh so is this the state of science writing?

"The average maximum force the bricks can stand is 4,240N. That's equivalent
to a mass of 432kg (950lbs). If you divide that by the mass of a single brick,
which is 1.152g, then you get the grand total of bricks a single piece of Lego
could support: 375,000."

Bricks have mass, of course, and technically speaking grams and kg are units
of mass, but weight is the issue. On the moon a brick could support many more
bricks.

Really? Why be "Ugh" over this article, I thought the article was neat and interesting.


Why discuss building on the moon when only a handful of LEGO pieces have even
been to space? Why didn't you mention Mars? Appreciate the point of the
article that LEGO bricks can support a lot of force, instead of finding problems.

Look hard enough and errors will be discovered in anything written.

  It would be nice to see what items are on the most wanted lists. For example,
I was looking at the goat and noticed it's on more than 3000 wanted lists.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=95341pb01&name=Goat%20with%20Dark%20Tan%20Horns%20and%20Medium%20Nougat%20Spots%20Pattern&category=%5BAnimal,%20Land%5D#T=C&C=1

Maybe I have something stashed away that people really want. Also, it would
be nice to filter the list to average price or category. I probably don't
need to know that black technic pins are on 581291 Wanted Lists.

Does this feature already exist?

What you are really requesting is a report of how much more an item is wanted
than for sale.

wanted list to items for sale
or
wanted list to lot for sale

Wanted 3212 / Lots for sale 14 = 229.4 times more wanted than lots for sale
Wanted 3212 / Items for sale 108 = 29.7 times more wanted that items for sale

  There are many old minifig pics in the catalog. Made with 2010 digital cameras
or so.

So I wonder: does it make sense to update those old - and often not so very clear
- pictures with newer ones?
I understand that the first person who submits the picture receives the credit
for the picture, so this might be a sensitive area.

Today I scanned
 
Minifig No: twn155  Name: Mayor

twn155 (Inv) Mayor
Minifigures: Town
with my Instabrick. With very minor modifications the result is the attached
picture.
Personally I think this is a better picture than the one currently in the catalog.

What do you think?

How true is the color of the tie in your photo?

Looks the same as the torso picture

  Incomplete sets are an exception that we tolerate
for some very specific reasons, such as vintage stickers.

Please explain further what is meant by "very specific reasons"

To me it means that BrickLink does not want incomplete sets and an incomplete
set is the exception and should be a low percentage of the lots for sale.

  Hi, I don't know about you, but I'm mad about those sellers that destroy
the sale price average with sky high prices.

Easy remedy, kick them out or change the rules. But since that won't happen,
I thought of something else, a median price in the price guide.

A median price average removes the higher and lower values and gives a more realistic
or typical price for an item.

We could have and option between average or median, or have the two displayed
in the price guide. I think it should be pretty easy to code and add to Bricklink.
And a much needed improvement.

Any thoughts ?

BrickTinker has this option

  But kids today have seen a lot worse then that before they find this site. And while I
didn't study the picture in detail,
I don't remember it being any worse than prime time tv.

My kids don't watch prime time tv, internet website filters consider BrickLink
to be a safe site.

I agree with you about protecting the kids. But what about the adults that don't
want to be protected? Don't they have rights too?

What rights (within the terms and conditions of BrickLink) are not protected

Thanks to the members who reported the threads.

This has been suggested before.

Bricklink is a 18+ site. Kids are supposedly supervised by the accountholder.

It was a rare incident with nothing to see.
Text was clearly spam encouraging to not click on links.

Approving first posts doesn't help much.
Then it's the second or third post violating the rules.

Please keep reporting rule breaking posts.
A forum moderator wil cancel them asap.

It is insulting how you have minimized what happened.

This forum is open to anyone in the world, you don't have to be a registered
user to see the forum. Ban all the kids until 18 in the world and they can still
see the site without a login.

My suggestion is because of the posts that were removed this morning that all
new users must have their post approved by the moderator until they have 1 positive
feedback score. This is the same requirement to open a store.

As one person said, there are kids on this website, something should be done
to protect the incident.

  While I have no Horse in this race. I personally DO not only NOT want to see
these on Bricklink but anyone SELLING them should get an Arrow to the Knee. The
Purpose of these are for Blind Children, Not so there is a Scummy market of third
party sellers making a profit and I know we have a few here that would do it.

Question

What if a blind person loses a blind LEGO brick and it needs to be replaced.
If they are not for sale on BrickLink and they are discontinued by LEGO, how
is the blind person supposed to get replacement bricks?

  Hi all,

yesterday i recovered my roborider wheel collection from early this century and
decided to sell it.

In the meantime i know about the metallic gold ones (from e. g. promo pack 800010,
see also my store).

What i am still interested in are 2 chrome silver chainsaw wheels (part 32362).

Does anyone know, if these were official parts or just a misprint?
They do not look like some just painted a normal one.

Best regards,
Manfred

There was a shop who would chrome parts, maybe it is a custom chrome job.

BrickLink search is very specific.

In this situation apple is incorrect, you must search for either apple* or apples

Bricklink consists of thousands of stores.
Who should hold the funds for the card?

970c00pb0052 Hips and Legs with Lime Boots and Belt Pattern (Buzz Lightyear)

needs to be broken up into 2 separate entries. Currently we only have one for
a lime printing. I have been listing legs recently and came across 4 of these
legs. Three of them had lime printing, the fourth has bright green printing(verified
as Lego). Searching for "Buzz Lightyear" figures, I came across minifig toy004
from which the picture seems to show bright green printing, yet inventory says
it has the legs with lime print.

My guess is that it hasn't been discovered yet that there is a bright green
version, so all the figures with it are being inventoried as having the lime
version.

All of the parts of the minifig appear to have bright green print, not lime.

  Hello,

It came to my attention that the following parts Pin006 & pin005 are only listed
in the color red. Although there are much more colors: green, blue, white, silver,
yellow and black. I hope these could be added!

Yours sincerely,
Hendrik Brands

Wow, what a nice collection!

  Hi,

The reason why 3830c01 Hinge Brick 1 x 4 Swivel is marked for deletion is not
justified IMHO ("it sets a precedent for adding dozens of unnecessary combinations
of hinges").

I don't think anyone has the intention to create colour-combinations for
these two parts combined.

Most sellers just want to sell the two parts together to avoid unequal (worthless)
quantities of the underlying parts.

So can this decision be undone please so that new items can be listed?

  Hello

We have 2 sets with faulty print box of Pet Shop (front of box shows 1332 pieces
vs 2032 official) - as relative new to selling appreciate help how best to put
it into the store inventory? Should it be a custom item, or should it be 10218-1
with custom image?

Many thanks in advance

I would list with the rest of the sets, note the faulty print and provide pictures.
I provide dropbox links in the comments so the buyer can see high quality pictures.

Example here:

  It wouldn't be a comprehensive list of every combination of Minifigure components.
Users would submit their figure, and then there would be a list of components
that correspond to the appropriate official pieces within the market. I hope
that makes sense.

This would work well at the beginning, then someone would modify a minifig changing
the hair color or hair style. This would create a new catalog item. Repeat
this over time and then there are 1000+ custom minifigs. After more time there
are 10,000+ and so forth. At a certain point the entire catalog becomes useless
and impossible to manage because there so many custom minifigs it is difficult
to find the correct one.

This looks like a administrative nightmare for those maintaining the "Purist
Custom Figures" catalog. Endless submissions with endless part inventories and
alternative parts.

I know, there'll be pain with the renaming and whatnot, but it would be nice
if all the axle holes on all the pieces were named consistently and were referred
to in a consistent manner in the item number.

Then there's the issue of sometimes two things that are the similar have
two different catalog numbers and other times two things that are similar have
a single number and a note. So the whole handling of naming and suffixing is
kind of all over the place.

If that page isn't clear, hit me up.

Wow, that is a really good idea.

Wouldn't it be better to simply title him "Pants Guy" and leave it at that?

If you use the search at the top of the page the results are correct.

I don't read many of the forum posts so this is the first of yours I have

If had to had guess, I say clone. Does it have LEGO printed on the neck?

Voted no, I prefer to look at all the tiles at once. I lay out all my tiles
and pick out the same patterns, then I will separate later by printed or stickers
for the hard to determine items.
