I happened to randomly google BrickLink today.

One of the first things to appear was the question,
"Is BrickLink a trusted site?"

And it took me to sitejobber which has a generally unfavorable view of BrickLink.

To be fair the sample size they are using is totally irrelevant. The site has
over 11k in stores and approaching 1 million in members. To take those review
seriously you need a much larger sample size. .

First thing I thought of, too. However, the BL customer service one is spot
one, therefore sample size may be moot.

Apples and oranges are being compared here. BL is a sales platform and not a
single store.

I doubt it matters. How many people go to sitejabber to get reviews when visiting
a new retail site?

Trustpilot has a mid score but more reviews although many are about the BDP.

It’s an interesting question because what is BrickLink?

Is it the preeminent marketplace to buy and sell Lego 2nd hand?
Is it home of one of the best, free Lego computer aided design programs?
Is it where Lego rejected designs are picked up by the AFOL community into 10K
Lots that sell out in 48 hours?
Is it home of the best and most complete Lego part photo library on the internet?


I feel like Bricklink excels at all these things!
