Had several requests in the past which resulted in a number of orders, not so
now.

A number of buyers have requested photo’s, mainly new or relatively new members,
more requests than usual and not a single order.

Most of the items are nice or in excellent condition, sadly it seems there are
a lot of time wasters out there.

Maybe some are scammers wanting images to use, I hope not.

If you think they are scammers, you can put your username across the image so
it cannot be cropped out. But don't put their username in the image if they
ask! I once had someone ask me to do that to prove that *I* was genuine.

Do I understand correctly that the hair, round plate, and light saber were missing
from the minifig? If that's the case then I could see why it was removed
- 3-4 pieces out of a total of 7-8 were missing.


The main part is only one piece, so three of the four pieces of the figure were
missing. Once we have a chance to get the inventories for these figures into
the catalog, there will be no confusion over them.


Wel, the figures are only 19 years old.


Prior administrators would not let them be inventoried. The current team decided
to allow them to be inventoried later last year. All we are waiting for are good
images of the figures without all of the pieces that can come off easily. If
you would like to help with that, please do so.

I got 1 or 2 of them (I think obi wan (and maybe Anakin?)). If you need anything
specific please let me know

You've jogged my memory that I think we had a Mace Windu at some point. Oh
no... another scavenger hunt for a piece I haven't seen in 10 years. lol

"All we are waiting for are good images of the figures without all of the

I did but wasn’t sure what it meant should I print them off and send them
to bricklink in the USA or make entires for the parts or something else

I'm still planning to get to this project and have a new Darth Vader here
to get it started, but I better won't make any promises anymore when that
will happen (likely not this or next month as we expect around 100 new sets in
June which must be inventoried).
If you want to prepare any images right now, please send them to catalog@bricklink.com.

Hi,
I wanted to see if there are any bricklink members in the Fort Worth area that
are selling. I am looking to buy some Star Wars and DC and Marvel figures/weapons
and would like to buy locally.

This another 5% currency conversation fee could be saved by paying with your
card instead of using PayPal's awful exchange rate.

I have a Wise card which is added to my PP account and if I need to pay in any
other currency than EUR, the card issuer's rate will be used and Wise charges
way less than 5% for conversation.

An example: I paid at a Hungarian gas station 16070 HUF which equaled 41,23 EUR
and Wise charged me only 0,37 EUR for exchanging my EUR to HUF which is less
than 1%.

For your sake, you better hope they don't run a queuing system where the
last email received determines the order of response, like if you deal with emails
received in order of earliest received that hasn't been answered or updated.

Flooding is also a good way to end on a stoplist.

I wouldn’t bother.... Try to be helpful, Get an unhelpful response!

I’m not sure what it means either? I could try to guess but it’s certainly not

You’ve just got the cut them a little slack, I know it’s majorly annoying but
that’s how it is. It’s also like what UTLF was saying, they’re (I suppose) understaffed
and lacking resources. (Despite being bought by LEGO 🤷‍♂️)
Sending 10-20 messages per day is effectively spamming/clogging the system even
more thus reducing the likelihood you get a response.

You need to understand that Bricklink is owned by a small family company that
struggles to make ends meet each and every month, so they don't have the
time or resources to improve things that actually matter.

The help desk has, at the very least, a 4 month backlog (as people have been
saying for the past 12 months) and there's (allegedly) only 1 guy dealing
with all the support tickets. He's locked in the cold, dark basement and
only given saltine crackers and milk for sustenance. He hasn't seen the light
of day since he was hired 5 years ago, and all he knows is the bluish hue of
the computer screen that degrades his retinas day-by-day. Please cut Bricklink
some slack, they're doing all they can to help the userbase.

Consider donating more money with your monthly fees so they can maybe hire more
customer service people for the umpteenth time in the past 2 years... maybe that'll
help, or maybe they'll just get better at brainstorming excuses as to
why they're getting nothing meaningful done; it's like gambling, but
without the fun or chance to win anything.

  Is there a way to search for multiple parts from one seller without searching
in each seller’s inventory individually? Thank you.

Just create a "wanted list" by hitting the heart button on all the parts
you want and then click "Auto-buy", and the algorithm will find a store
that has the parts you want.

That would be “EasyBuy” (from the list of lists) or “Auto-select” (from the Buy
page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ).

Prefer Auto-select because it follows the filters on the Buy page, whereas EasyBuy
has no filter (but requires fewer clicks…).


  "Heart button" I've been around kids too much...the favorite button


I generally say “heart-shaped icon”
