I would also hold you to a higher than standard spec. That's what you deserve!

miss something.

I’ve had the odd feedback saying they couldn’t tell the difference between my
used and new.

I want these parts to finish minifigures for sale, I can’t use damaged parts
for that.

The problem is that many are early figures and the heads are in the main, blocked
open studs and a few solid studs.

  Recently placed 21 orders, mostly small.

Received 11 so far.

Basic results to date :

3 perfect

8 with issues.

Issues range from bite marks, stress marks, strange wear problems and wrong colour.

In excess of 20 heads with bite marks of varying severity and one missing altogether.

Issues with headgear, hair and legs.

Not happy.

Let’s see what the other 10 look like.

I’m aware that some stores have notes in their terms as to possible marks but
none of the individual parts had a note, I purposely excluded any that had when
searching.

Spent a lot of time sourcing parts to avoid issues and now I’m going to spend
more time sorting this out and almost certainly trying to reorder the damaged
parts.

What’s the betting even these will have faults.

I think this is the main reason why my Buyers keep coming back to my store; even
when they pay a premium compared to other Sellers of used items, they are typically
extremely happy with the quality of the used parts they receive from me...

In my opinion, quality counts for everything; and although it can be subjective,
if you can understand the disappointment of receiving less-than-satisfactory
used parts when you were counting on them to use in a unique MOC (as I have experienced
here as a Buyer), you undoubtedly understand how critical it is to make sure
you are not selling those types of less-than-satisfactory parts to your Buyers
who would have the same feeling of disappointment when received... in essence,
never sell items that you would not want to receive yourself if you were the
Buyer (& if you do, make sure you clearly note the damage in the part listing!).


Life is Good.
