One little problem - part 30241b should be 60475b.

| We had exactly the same issue once. I asked the buyer to compare them with a
fresh new LBG part, not old used one.
He came back acknowledged they are LG not LBG.
Good luck!

Oh, then it may be one of these changes in the ToS after the buyout.

Okay, *I*’m officially getting old: I read “2020.” 
Definitely a problem if it’s 2000.
It may also be a glitch in the app: it may still have bits of an old e-mail that
was not correctly deleted and that it “found back” today.

2000 OR 2020, OP wasn't with BL until 2021?

Thank you Randy. I thought about Magenta hands 20 mins before your message

| Got the following message regarding dark pink hands
"Hi! I think I got the wrong colored hands. I was looking for the dark pink
hands from crystalized and what I got was the pink that came from Sinestro. Its
a lighter color"
I think it's about these two parts
We have 973pb3737c01 in stock and they have regular dark pink hands. We don't
have 973pb4789c01, do you know if it has darker dark pink hands? Or if there
are darker dark pink hands ?)
Thank you.

Sorry let's forgot all the calculations.
The Item Total is the cart total BEFORE tax. I think your conversion theory might
be on the money, somewhere in the Spaghetti code USD and EUR mixed up?

VA has 5.3% sales tax but if the buyer lives in a municipality with its own sales
tax then that might make the numbers add up.
|
Unfortunately it doesn't.
We got taxed 6% here in northern Virginia. So if 20.17 is the amount including
tax, the item total should be 19.03, $0.97 shy of 20

I just got my first NSS, but he received the order, just missing 1 item. I messaged

even fully know what to do next other then write my reply to the initial filing.
Suggestions?
But it's things like this that can mess a good seller up or get them off
their game.
Also.. NEUTRAL FEEDBACK! It shouldn't go against our positive, yet it does.
There should be a disclaimer as someone hits the send button on neutral that
says "are you sure? Hitting this button makes this person's positive
feedback lessen.. are you suuuuuuuureeeee?????"
Penny for your thoughts?

Relax, you are not the only one. Read our last neutral feedback
We don't offer money for feedback removal, so our percentage isn't as
high. I don't think it affects potential buyer. Unfair buyers got on our
stop list.
As for NSS, show help desk your tracking and they'll remove it.

I don’t know the ball but the “hat post” you’re talking about is called a “small

AFAIK, it’s only on Friends accessories, with no other standard connector, or

The smallest flame is

Not always. We had twice got scratched minifig torsos from the vey top feedback
store. Since our purchases were in 200 to 500 pieces, it's not likely they
are USED. They should check their inventory more careful though.

about these sellers who list figs from the 70s and 80s as new? It’s hard to
be 100% sure they’re lying (even with feedback claiming buyers were sent used
as new), but how much circumstantial evidence is enough? I saw a seller today
who had some very rare castle figs listed as new, so I checked his parts list
and, wouldn’t you know it, some of the exclusive parts from those sets are listed
in used condition with damage noted. Really?
I’ve also sold a used fig to someone before and saw them list it as new a week
after I shipped it.
Why bother having a condition if you can just lie and there are no consequences?

Indeed. It's a travesty. These sellers are nothing more than scammers, the
lowest of the low. I've been reporting the one with the tire brand in their
name repeatedly every few months, but nothing's ever done despite the fact
that it's patently obvious from literally over 100 feedback reports that
they regularly sell new figures as used. How much more evidence is needed? Get.
Them. Off. The. Site.
|
" the one with the tire brand in their name " LOL. Never deal with them but from
all the feedbacks they should be banned.
It's very bad practice, right after fake parts. Even with comments on the
part. We purchased some transparent parts with "has been in storage, may have
slight scratching." They turned out much worse and listed as USED in our store.
The store is on our least favorite list. You may get more money for one sale,
but your customers won't come back.

We got a couple of those but the problem with them is that they just look way

I agree fully, when you mix plastic with metal (keys), the plastic won't
last too long. I'm keeping mine in its sealed bubble-wrap bag, and no plans
to let it get some fresh air

This is plain wrong - here 1€ is still 1€ !
|
1€ is still 1€, but 1€ is $1.1 before only $0.97 now. When you calculated average
price using USD, there is a big difference 😳.
|
Sylvain was half-joking
“Half-” because when you buy and sell (mostly) in € and in EU or even in your
own country, the exchange value doesn’t matter (yet).
|
It does matter for the global price guide. If a single 1 euro item sold six months
ago and another sold now then the average price in USD has gone down.
|
That’s what bahpstore said, and/therefore I was just trying to explain the not-joking
other half of Sylvain’s comment.
Besides, Yellow.Brick said it’s the opposite that happened: the prices in € are
lower now.
Prices in a weakening currency go up, not down (if the price variation is only
due to the exchange rate).
Say the $ price didn’t change / the $ is stable. Something that cost €10 6 months
ago was €10*1.1 = $11, it should cost $11/0.97 = €11.34 now. So if the item’s
at €9 (old price in € minus 10%) now, like Yellow.Brick said, that’s 20% lower
in $ (9*0.97/11 = 79.4%).
|
Let's use a simplest example:
One part sold twice, one for €1.00 another for $1.12 when the exchange rate is
€1.00 = $1.12. At that moment US buyer would see the average price was $1.12,
EU buyers would see the average price was €1.00.
Fast forward to €1.00 = $0.97, the same US buyer will find the average price
is $1.045 (1*0.97 + 1.12)/2 and the EU buyer will see the average price is €1.077
(1.12/0.97 + 1)/2
The strong dollar drag down average price for US sellers, but pop up average
price for EU sellers.

Tried one called CountThings, it doesn't have a Lego part templet, doesn't

Looks like "Count This" is a paid version, reviews also mentioned templet, I'll

My guess is that it will happen some time on September 2nd. If you had to push
me for a time of day (I'll let you convert into UTC) it would be at 3pm MST
in the US.
I hope the seller who has the order with the ID number of 20,000,000 will chime

I have a bit of a conundrum. I agreed to be the sponsor for my local LUG at a

I would get a small booth out of it. Turns out it is 20ft x 30ft space. And
I'll BE THE ONLY VENDOR THERE. It's a week-long event that is expecting

hit it out of the ball park, so to speak, but have no idea how to calculate how
much inventory I'm going to need.

We have plenty. which are closed and open and with all colors. I guess it was
from the time were they considered it a chocking hazzard and left a hole in them.
Though it has been shown that they're easier to remove when the don't
have a hole. At least it was thw case for minifig heads.

Thank you so much for confirming this, Christian.
Off-brand got into inventory is the shop's worst nightmare. This is first
time we got such question and it's from a customer I trust.
I checked our purchasing history and found most of them came from a bulk purchase
last year from a 5k+ feedback shop. I'm about to put it on our least favorite
list and never purchase from them again, thought I'd better check if they
could be an old stock.
