I have been browsing dutch version of eBay and I have been trying a New Way of searching. I look for sets without numbers or price. This seems to indicate that the seller is not knowing about the value of 1975 lego sets. Some sellers really don't know what they have. Is buying a 140 usd set for 32 usd good or bad ethically ?

I now have

I was able to acquire an Eiffel Tower with instructions but the box wasn't included. Does anyone have one to see / trade? As of last night, I only see one on bricklink. Heck, I would be very grateful and even will "kneel before Zod" for help.

Hello everyone, I've just scoured through "General Buying & Selling" and I don't seem to be able to find some tips on this. My wife found a set from some local seller and we are interested in getting it. The set that we found contains about 1000+ pieces, it is already assembled (according to the seller) but will be disassembled for easier transportation. We are meeting him over the weekend. We are both new to buying used Lego sets, so what tips do you have when buying a set from a local seller? How do we check each piece (or you don't?). I presume when the seller says "will be disassembled", he's not gonna disassembled it entirely. Thanks.

Does anyone have any order being shipped by UPS? I have one package from TRU and another from a seller on craigslist that show no tracking information. Is anyone experiencing the same problem? For obvious reasons this makes me nervous. The seller from craisgslist actually sent me a picture of the packaging slip (this time I paid with paypal) and I have no idea what is wrong with the TRU package other than it is getting sent via UPS Mail Innovations.

I have a relative who's been helping me out with buying lego. He works for a big box store but can't tell you which one. He basically lets me use his employee discount of 15%. He's about to quit and asks if there's anything I want to load up on. With this said, do I get the most of my money by buying exclusives (modulars, Simpsons etc) at 15% off or do I use my funds elsewhere buying up supposed EOL sets at full price? (GE, SSD etc). The "eol" exclusives are oos at the store he works for. Opinions are most welcome. Cliff notes: exclusive with discount vs eol at retail, where to tie up funds?

My local walmart has some Ghost Trains that have been sitting on the shelf for ages. They are on clearance for 54 right now, which while not being a bad deal, isn't that much below amazon has gone to, when including tax. I am thinking about offering 40 each. Has this worked for anyone? Any advice?

Hey guys! Wasn't entirely sure where to put this... I am selling it so this may be appropriate. I have a sealed 6866 which seems to have a rattling piece inside not in a bag. Now i have a couple of these left and none have this unique rattling sound which i'm %99 sure it's a very tiny loose piece not bagged rattling around. I know from experience some large pieces are not bagged in some sets, but this one sounds like a very very tiny piece. I'm more or less wondering if this is anything to be concerned about. Could one of the bags have a tiny hole it escaped from? could it be a fluke and just an extra piece? Does anyone else have any experience with this…

I was offered two of this set at 49.99 USD (for two) free shipping. New sealed box. Boxes in good condition. I do not know whether this set has any investment potential. Thanks.

My local Barnes and Noble has Sphinx sets and I stopped at an out of the way walmart yesterday and found 2 Space Police Galactic Enforcers on the shelf! Marked at $90.

Just got this email. Anyone ever use Shipstation? I'm just curious on what people think.

I just started getting ready to sell used Lego parts on Bricklink. It's very time consuming sorting everything out. Bought a 1kg bag on eBay and also my own unused parts. Any shortcut ideas? Who else does this? Any feedback would be great. I guess it gets quicker when my itinerary gets larger!

Browsed a few pages of the Buy&Sell forum and couldn't find an appropriate thread to post this in.... if a Mod sees a fitting place please feel free to move the post. Last weekend I picked up a bulk SW lot on CL. Spent the last week running the sets through Bricklink Inventory lists and verifying any missing parts. They're all older SW sets. Included are some of the original micro fighters, called Mini back then. From the sets of instructions, I've got parts of two series, but neither series is complete. [4484, 4485, 4487] is a 3/4 complete series, and I've got [4490, 4491] which is 1/2 of a complete series. Blah blah blah... what the heck am I waffling o…

May be something others already know, but if giving a refund through paypal and you don't have a balance, Paypal doesn't front the money. they contact your bank and it will usually take several days. Many of you may already know this. You also cannot cancel it once it happens. I have never had a problem before. I was trying to refund someone yesterday and it is pending until thursday and though I now have money in my account, nothing can be done paypal said. Luckily it was so we could cancel a transaction and repurchase so my ebay buyer is cool. But I wanted to alert anyone who had to give a refund to an Ebay buyer. Don't want to take a chance on getting…

Ok Guys, start posing the best deals you are seeing today

I've recently become interested in buying and re-selling lego sets. One of my first purchases was 9445 Fangpyre Truck Ambush which I picked up for $20 CAD. I recently saw it sell on ebay for about $60. Im just curious how people would expect it to be packed up. I was going to take it apart piece by piece and make sure it was complete. Is it suitable to put all the pieces in one large polybag, or should they be seperated into several? Maybe the minifigs in separate bags and everything else in one large bag? 9445-1: Fangpyre Truck Ambush

Just sold my first lego set! Dino headquarters 5887 for 105 euros!! Bought it for 50 euros so im happy with my first sale!

I am having a weird problem printing labels through paypal. When I print a label, my printer uses 3 sheets of paper to print one label. The first sheet is blank, the second has the label, and the third sheet has a line printed at the bottom. Has anyone had any similar printing problems. This started happening several months ago. Any suggestions?

Here is the link: http://www.shopko.com/detail/lego-star-wars-at-st--endor/45632 I tried to order this once before but after three weeks it was canceled out. I decided I'll try again. Results may vary. I couldn't find anything else worth ordering to get free shipping, but the planets came out to about four dollars a piece for me, and to me that's a deal. Happy Hunting!

Hey everyone, follow this link to received 5% cash back on all payments made through Paypal until Dec 12th. Seems like an easy way to get an extra 5% back on all Cyber Monday purchases! http://www.redflagdeals.com/deal/other-finance/paypal-sign-up-now-to-earn-5-cash-back-for-four-weeks-ends-december-12/ Enjoy!

How much will you be charged in fees? You'll find out after the sale is made. Your buyer chooses the "pay later" option... you get the convenience fee. Convenient!

I'm trying to collect all of the Batman 1 villains (maybe not Bane!) and wondered if any of the members here have figs for sale? Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker

I am going on about a month without any of my craigslist emails getting any responses. Does anyone have something on craigslist that I could try to reply to? I am wondering if the sellers are even getting my emails or just being douches. Most adds I respond to are around my area so I am not sure what is going on.

Does anyone use the Brother QL-700 label printer? Does it print labels through eBay well? I was looking at this one as an option with using a Mac computer. I had looked at the DYMO 450, but read it isn't compatible with OSX post 10.4. Thanks!
