Official Press Release Mark your Calendars, fellow BrickPickers! July 16, 2018 at 3 PM EST the madness starts! (If there's a pricing glitch again...) Or otherwise, just meh disappointment.

AZ CLAIMS Main goal is to defend and maintain successful business so: · Always be professional and maintain your composure. If you want to vent, punch a wall, use the forum or PM me · Only state facts. Amazon cares little to rants, accusations , and claims that can’t be proven · Use bullet points in your reply to AZ claim · Try to quote Amazon’s polices when applicable · Never refund an AZ without trying to defend it since the damage has been done already · Reaching out to a customer is up to your discretion, but don’t wait too long to reply to AZ claim other with Amazon will rule in the b…

I know the site encourages users to click through deal links when buying Legos, but is there a generic affiliate link to use (that I can make my browser shortcut). That way whenever I purchase anything from Amazon, Brick Picker gets a taste. I searched around but nothing popped out at me. Might be something helpful to put in the FAQ too.

Almost a full year ago, Bold-Arrow started a thread about his experience with Amazon Warehouse Deals. As I mentioned in today's Daily Deal thread, we recently had our third child, and there was a ton of down time in the hospital. I spent a lot of time browsing the back alley's of Brickpicker's forums, and Bold-Arrow's thread was one I stumbled across. About every 15 minutes or so, I'd refresh the listing of AWD and browse through the results. It's amazing some of the cool older sets that pop up on there! Many of them aren't investment worthy, or even buy and build worthy, but they are interesting to discover even if I ultimately decide not to purchase. I have bought 13 se…

Hi during a clear out I have found 3 Lego Sets in the loft. All 3 are around the 1980s, but would appreciate some help as to there value. theses are the following: Lego Set 366: suitable age 3 and up. Lego Set 733: suitable age 7 and up. Lego Set 744: suitable age 7 and up. I did find a website where people were selling sets, some of which appeared expensive even though the boxes were opened or had no boxes at all. The above 3 sets are still sealed and unopened, so never used. So although they are the classic Lego sets from the 80's, and not the themed ones that are around these days, it would be interesting to know their value. Thanks t…

I just found out AMZ has brand gated me to sell all LEGO products without any explanations, remedy or timeframe. I don't even have an "apply to Sell" button when I tried to add a product. I have been selling for years and over 1000+ sets and my acct health has always been in good standing with only a handful of returns. I really don't understand where this is coming from. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any help would be much appreciated. THX! Here is a screenshot when I tried to "request for approval": Selling Application We are not accepting applications to sell: Other $LEGO branded in New, Used, Refurbished, Coll…

I recently cleaned up my AMZ listings and a load of old collectible minifig listings are gone. Trying to make a new listing on AMZ doesn't ever seem to work for me. Anybody run into this? These POS minifigs are finally starting to be worth something, I was hoping to just update my inventory and start moving them. Looks like ebay may be my only move. sorry, meant to post in the selling on amazon thread

Since Lego is restricted does anyone know of a consignment service that I can send my Lego unopened sets to and they will then list them through Amazon? If anyone knows of a work around also I would love to hear it.

https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/#1071f979251c Thanks to all you FBAers out there, he has overtaken Bill Gates. Americans lead the way with a record 585 billionaires, followed by mainland China with 373. Centi-billionaire Jeff Bezos secures the list’s top spot for the first time, becoming the only person to appear in the Forbes ranks with a 12-figure fortune. Bezos’s fortune leapt more than $39 billion, the list’s biggest one-year gain ever. He moves ahead of Bill Gates, who is now number 2. It is the biggest gap between no. 1 and 2 since 2001.

I would like to resell lego online, but where could I find some distributor with good price? I talked with some big toys online store, they told me Lego waived the wholesale price for them, so they can only sell lego to me at retail price Thanks Bati

In the last week I have noticed a glitch (or is it?) in Amazon listings. It started with 21309, when Amazon got it in stock my listing disappeared off the site. In my inventory the link to the listing is broken and it doesn't display the lowest price available anymore - it looks like what my inventory shows when I am out of stock, except I do have it in stock. This happened once before, but then the listing was eventually fixed. This time when Amazon went out of stock, the listing didn't come back. No big deal on that one as my listing price is super high and I'm not looking to move them any time soon. But... Today I noticed it on two more listings - Eiffel Tower and…

If anyone has been thinking about joining Amazon Business (why haven't you by now?), they have a referral offer going on right now. I got an email offering me a 7" tablet for referring other businesses. If you're interested in getting a Business Account, shoot me your address and I'll send you a link to sign up.

Welcome to Brickpicker's Amazon Prime Day 2017 thread! Amazon Prime Day will be Tuesday, July 11. Link to the 2016 thread. Some general info: Try to put all conversation/rumors/speculation/facts here in this thread. Use this thread for ALL deals that you want to share (not just LEGO deals). We will try to cross post LEGO deals to both this thread and Daily Deals. We will try to sticky the deals list and keep it up to date (as best we can).

So I'm a long time lurker here, and a long time seller on Amazon. Sold a 10221 SSD FBM, purchased it at discount many years ago. A week after the user received it I get a counterfeit claim, buyer claims it was not authentic. I immediately send the buyer a return label. And surprisingly enough, the buyer actually sends it back without an issue. It arrives opened so I inspect the pieces. It surely is a SSD, but a knockoff version. Tons of bags of pieces and a lovely book that has "bogus bricks" stamped on the front. All stuffed in my previously minty LEGO SSD box. I talk to many people at Amazon... they don't care. Tell me that it could have been like th…

Interesting development... http://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-counterfeit-idUSKBN16S2EU

Came across this on CNN today: http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/06/investing/retail-stress-great-recession-amazon/index.html?iid=EL Bold highlight is mine - You'd think perhaps if they had sold their Dimensions score for a few times higher, they could have paid off some debt?

I'd like opinions on the Amazon Business Accounts for Lego reselling. Since many of the deals and no-limits buying seems to be coming into the Business Accounts. I assume I wouldn't have any problems getting an account and I've had a reseller certificate for years if I wanted to submit that as an option. Right now, I ship more out of state than in state, so I don't charge in-state customers sales tax since I more than offset all the necessary collected sales taxes with originally paid sales taxes. Even with the offset, I'm leaving money on the table that the state gladly keeps. I haven't ever tried to avoid sales taxes with the retailers in order to stay …

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/first-amazon-suing-companies-sell-192002335.html "The e-commerce giant for the first time has filed lawsuits against counterfeit sellers, after a number of businesses on Amazon voiced concern that knockoffs were killing their sales and endangering consumers." Could eventually help the reseller community by further weeding out the knockoffs. If nothing else, it shows that Amazon is willing to bend to the pressure of sellers if they get hit in great numbers. LEGO putting some pressure would certainly assist in this matter. Not that they may take initiative, but I messaged LEGO pointing to this new development. Maybe if enough of …

Just wondering how many of you are starting to receive Amazon Prime Same Day shipping. I noticed this has become available to me and its been fun ordering before noon and getting my stuff around 6pm or so. A few times it came in handy. I just have no idea how they can afford to do this and pay the extra delivery people. They seem to have created their own "Uber" system of delivery people. The orders are not delivered by USPS or UPS/Fedex. Some info on Same Day Delivery: http://amzn.to/283CRjf
