It was great wheen BrickLink for about a year ago had some articles where we
could meet some sellers. Fun to read and great for any BrickLinker, I think specially
for sellers.
Coldn´t we have something just the same with some buyers? Invite them to participate
and show of their collection. What do you collect? Are you a builder or just
collecting? Any special finding to tell about? What do you seek now? Any goal
whit your project, collection?
Et c.
I been a collector my self and I often think it´s not so easy to share my passion
with ordinary friends, not that many of them understand Passion of Lego at all.
Maybe more people out there thinks the same?
I think this would be a very good byer friendly marketing thing that could increase
traffic and sales to the site.

God or bad idea?
I did see a seller that has something like "send me a pic of what you built and
I'll share it on *insert social media here*" Which is something I thought
was neat. I'd love to so something like that.
In person, meh, not if they know who I am (as in they have bought from me and
now have my address). Unfortunately being a woman in a mainly "male" hobby sets
me up for all sorts of stalkers.
Honestly, I feel your pain, not being able to share, but thats what expos/events/etc
are for right?

Maybe do a detour to the UK, and bring a UCS Y-wing instruction book with ya....
I'll let you build my Eiffel Tower if you want....
Looks like the “special ads” section in some 1980’s newspaper
Now you are showing your age... lol
Nah, it’s only second hand knowledge
What it shows though is I think “dirty” otherwise I’d have referred to spy stuff,
like 1940’s BBC’s “Les Français parlent aux Français” (French speak to French,
résistance’s coded messages).

Not sure if God has anything to do with it. (just yanking your chain).
I meet a few sellers and buyers when I was at a Show (called Steam) in the UK.
I had to drive to Swindon (not impressed by the way with Swindon). Met some great
Bricklinkers, I had met them when we still had a Chat section and got to know
them.
It might be a good idea to meet at a neutral place and not a dark alley or at
there house at 2 am (might be a set up). If they offer you candy and they drive
a Van with no windows don't stop just drive on!
