Interesting type of “sale” but you’ve already posted 6 times in 3 days. Looks
like you average 10 sales a month so just hoping we don’t see this announcement
175 more times. 😀

Fake sale because they always have a "sale" going on:

And everything in the store that is on my wanted list is *way* above the six-month
average even while being on "sale".

Out of curiosity I’ve probably checked 30 or 40 “sales” over the past couple
years and saw exactly 1 that had a decent price after the discount.

Seems like it somehow works sometimes though. I see people having a fake sale
and then buyers respond with “order placed!” 🤷‍♂️

The replies above are terrible to read. Another seller on this platform is trying
something out which will either be successful or not. I'm sure the user
will learn from it with either outcome.

We don't have to agree to the prices, we don't have to agree on anything
the store is trying to do with the promotion or sale, whatever it is going on.
If it doesn't interest you, you look and leave the store, simple as that,
but to publicly bash their efforts, drag the store through the mud as it seems...
come on.

When it pretty much amounts to spamming the forum at this point, I don't
mind calling it out for what it is.

Taz,

If what you have going on is working out for you, that's great, however,
here is some feedback I have from checking out your terms vs what appears to
be for sale in the store (sets/parts/etc..)

I would recommend that you look over your shipping terms. As a potential buyer,
I am not certain I understand the options available as all I see is "flat
rate small box" for an option. I fully understand that if I checkout I will
see a TBD and I'm sure an invoice with shipping will appear, but there is
no indication from your terms, on what to expect for shipping/handling costs.


Also, shipping flat rate is seen as a disadvantage to buyers as flat rate shipping
for Lego is generally not a favorable option as the containers are small and
more Lego can be shipped in a 16 oz commercial rate bubble mailer vs how much
weight would fit in a small flat rate box.

I'm sure if you browse around various stores, that ideas to research could
be found to modify from to use for what works for you.

I also mention that option as sets don't fit in small flat rate packages.

So either way, just some advice that you can take or leave as you manage your
shop. Again, if nothing changes and you like how it is, I don't have an issue
with that at all either.

Take care
