I have never specified a box as MISB, not ever. Recently a buyer tried to tell
me that "Factory sealed in original box" meant I was claiming it was
MISB. 🤦♀️
When buyers begin to assign meanings that were never stated/intended, that's
when it is time to look out for the falling sandbag from above.
|
I tend not to describe the box at all. That is what the (new, sealed) condition
is for. Unless there is any damage, then I'd note it.
I never really know what people mean by MISB. Do they mean the parts are mint
inside the box, or that the box is mint, or that the box is in a sealed shipping
box?
|
It means mint in sealed box. I think
|
Mint is a plant that grows in my garden, it's nothing to do with box conditions.

I see
I feel like New Unopened Box would work as a replacement.
Wait is Nubs_Select a person who SELECTS NEW UNOPENED BOXES?

| | Hi all,
Lately I have been seeing more small orders where the shipping costs are many
times the actual value of the parts.
Why don't people wait until the order is a bit larger and in proportion to
the shipping costs. Are people afraid that the parts will no longer be there
(fomo)?
Are other sellers also seeing this trend?
|
I’ve have quite a few 0.10-0.25 and orders with 5-6 dollars in shipping. They
pay and sometimes leave feedback so I’m happy
As long as you aren’t losing money I wouldn’t worry about it

| | so I am in a bit of a bind, and if this isn't the right place to put it,
im sorry, feel free to delete it:
I have so many sets, and alot of the sets I own are pieced out and are all separated
by color save for the ones I put on the store. So whats better in the long run
to sell: play the game of needle in the haystack and find the pieces, or sell
the pieces individually?
|
If you’re looking to be around for a while and not necessarily get rid of your
sets I’d recommend parting them out. Doing this will increase your item/lot count
and should get you more orders/feedback

| | Need some opinions...
When you get an order and ship it out, do you print out their order and put it
in the package, and if so do you use color or black and white. Or do you not
even put one at all? Currently, I print out one sided black and white and was
told by my significant other that looks bad and cheap. Thoughts?

I do not and I haven’t had any complaints about it yet

They taste nice too, a subtle sweet taste. Pinch the stamens and pull. Pop in
a salad or G&T.

I confirm they taste very good.
We've just planted some of them in our garden.

| | Hello Lego community!
Very new here. I went to a local Lego store and they said to shop here for what
I need!
!! Hoping you can help me and my finance!!!
We are in the budget planning for our wedding in 2025 and wanted to inquire for
our Lego Guest book!
When we visited during the Adult Halloween night at the Lego location, we had
a blast and when we entered we were able to create a mini version of what we
considered, our lego-selves! we Ithought this would be the best un-traditional
way of having a memorable guest book for us and our guests.
Our guest would build the traditional or silly version of them and their family,
put them on a long/short lego block for the family - Write their names using
a special marker, and then putting themselves on a Lego “poster board”
We sre going to have about 300-350 guest so we are looking for 350 of each BYO
PARTS BELOW, they don’t have to be the same pieces because we love variation
for creativity!
350x head
350x hair/hat/accesories
350x body
350x legs
Attached is a photo of what we ideally it’s going to look like

BrickEnzo was looking to sell a bunch of head, headgear and torsos in bulk a
while back maybe ask them?

| | Hello everyone!
I’ve recently had the idea to sell Minifigure Blind Bags on my store page and
was wondering if it’s a good idea or not? They’d be Custom Items, probably Star
Wars, from my own collection, and be $5-$8. I wanted to gather any feedback and
info on this as I haven’t seen anyone else do this.
Are Blind Bags even allowed to be sold on BrickLink? (As in would it be considered
a potential scam activity?)
Is there any interest on here for anyone to buy them?
Anything info would be appreciated.
Peace!

Well some people all ready have some mystery minifigure.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=mystery
What you sell in the mystery pack just need to be close ish to the price you
sell them for just to reduce the possibility of a angry costumer

Also price depends if they are minifigures from sets or just randomly thrown
together

Yes a sand bag would be very bad especially if it was open. It would get everywhere
and you would have to wash all of your stock. Very bad indeed

Correct, it is 'hidden' in the 'add items' dialogue.
Anyway to have it shown on the menu bar or as a button?
