These are going to be a real problem in supermarket stores.
They seem to be in an outer display box like bagged minifigures with partitions
behind the first batch etc.
Nearly every minifigure box in the front section had been opened, some parts
spilling out, had to check quite a few before I found a sealed one.

I read replies from Lego on their website and they are determined to keep the
boxes as a way to reduce a carbon footprint. It seems ironic to me because they
deal in PLASTIC toys. And they have been spending billions on new facilities
around the world. This is one set of minifigs I will do without.

the Dutch tax agency only counts profit as income in that situation. I know there
are vastly different rules in different countries but you would think that it's
universal maths that private possessions (all taxes paid) being turned back into
money doesn't count as "income"...

If you sell something you own for less than you paid for it, you don't have
to pay taxes on it, if you sell it for more than you paid for it, you have to
pay taxes on the difference as capital gains:

I'd strongly advise hobby sellers in the USA to consult an accountant. I
don't think you would pay income tax on the whole $2,000 for an item you
originally bought for $1,500.

Here is the wording of the new law on the IRS website; "Separate reporting of
these transactions is not required. However, you should follow the return instructions
on the form you are completing to report your gross receipts or sales. You should
report items that qualify as a trade or business expense on the appropriate line
item of Schedules C, E and F." Since most of us are not businesses we will not
get to use the forms for expenses, hence we will have to report the gross amount
as income.

It is incredibly unfair. If you buy something at a cost of $1500 and sell it
for $2000, your gain in income is $500. That should be what is reported and taxed.
But that is not how this works. You will show $2000 gain in income and have to
pay taxes on all above the $600 threshold. Only businesses can write off expenses,
we cannot. It may be time to go back to craigslist and sell for cash.

| I don't know when it started or why but I keep receiving new Lego parts that
smell strongly of perfume or scented detergent. Why? I have to air them out
for several days before I can use them. I cannot reuse any of the plastic bags
or envelopes so they are thrown out without repurposing them. If you are a seller
who keeps your Legos in areas where they can pick up offensive odors, or worse
wash them in scented soap, please list it in your terms. As soon as someone says
they wash the Legos, I look elsewhere. So give the buyers a heads up.
