I can never see shipping anything wrapped in brown paper. That is just awful. Kraft paper is just not stable enough to ship Lego sets in or really much of anything else for that matter. Like FedEx stated when they refused to accept the package, the paper can easily get torn and ripped of the package during transit. I know it could reduce costs but I can imagine most buyers are happy to pay a few more bucks to receive their item undamaged in a proper box. I wish all sellers had pride in their sales and valued their customers. Proper packaging is one way to display that professionalism.

"I paid for this item this morning. Why haven't you shipped my item yet?" I can already tell that this is a person that I will wish I never sold anything too. Really? You EXPECT same day shipping? Some people are ridiculous.

Now this is a truck. Although, I do figure some of you just back-up the box truck and say "Fill it!"

when your 5 month old poops and it goes up her diaper to her shoulderblades and goes all over your sheets because mommy wont let her sleep in the crib. @4am.

Oh No you didn't!!!

They are yummy...

I actually just bought one to build and thought it was extremely fun in doing so. But the kids think it is an awesome set and are fighting over whose room it can stay in for display. My youngest has already had it invaded by the ninjas. There must be 25 ninjago guys all over it. It is very amusing to me, but very fun for them. I will be picking up more of these as I think this set for many fathers like me has hit a nostalgic nerve. The more of these UCS sets and Advanced models that come out the more I want all of them (-Ferrari). These will be winners for sure.

If this "series" continues, the WOW factor will be that it's the first of the line.

My Purolator guy refused delivery twice with weird online tracking errors such as "Loading dock unavailable". After insisting on the phone, he finally arrived, rang and asked for our help to unload. It was quite a large truck so I asked " Which boxes are ours?". His reply: " All of them." It was glorious.

I sold a used hogwarts express (4841) for $180 shipped on eBay :)

Settled a bit and sold an SSD 10221 for $850. Half price on fees and good shipping prices made the decision. Needed to clear some money for upcoming months Batcave/Funhouse combo for $135. Again, a bit low, but cheap buy-in and unsure about future for this combo.

Cant remember where this question was posted, but I just received this from Amazon and I only do FBA: Hello from Amazon Services, We are writing to let you know that your seller account currently meets the following Holiday Selling Guidelines for the Toys & Games store this holiday season: - Your first sale on Amazon.com must be prior to September 18, 2015 (sale does not need to be specific to the Toys & Games store): Yes - You must have processed and shipped at least 25 orders between September 1 and October 31, 2015 (orders do not need to be specific to the Toys & Games store): Yes - Your short term order defect rate must be no greater than 1% as of November 1, 2015.

It's been a good seller. We're down about 30 more sellers on Amazon to about 67 offerings. Buy box has risen to $90.

Via Amazon A few Halloween TOTs - $24, TMNT Kraang Lab Escapes - $27, LR Constitution Trains - $135, City: Train Stations (7937) - $95. Considering you could get 7937 for $27 when TRU clearanced them, they are doing pretty well.

It will look nice next to the UCS AT-AT when it's released.

I sometimes stop to collect my thoughts - those can be pretty worthless.

Okay, I realize there are a lot of parents here with infants or had to take of a baby at one time or another but before this conversation starts to reek like a full diaper, perhaps we can steer away from all the poop, please?

That is the purpose of this thread. Many a post put things on my radar

Klingon D5 Deuterium Tanker by Matt Bace

We have several pages of answers here, but all in all, the consensus is sorta "NO impact really".

We all know what the note from Amazon Services says now... not sure any more need to be posted. @fossilrock - I hear you about the eBay hassle. I cancelled all my listings a while back (was going on a business trip) and haven't put a single one back up. I posted some of them to Brick Classifieds instead. I'm increasingly bothered by the changes they make to not just the rules but also to the listing editor, etc. Feels like I have to learn it all over again every couple months.

I received this same message. I'm excited as I just started selling on Amazon in Aug so this will be my first year selling somewhere other than eBay during the holiday season!

If it make you feel any better, my kids are 7 and 3, and don't do that anymore. Oh, sorry. That just makes me feel better.

I got a "or do you like cars with many many miles on them" vibe off that statement.

If you put enough tape on it, even the buyer will have a hard time getting the paper off.

Thanks! To put a nice little bow on this story, I printed shipping last night and before I got to bed already received positive feedback "Thanks for the swift shipping." Seems like I can create a Saturday Night Live character based on this person "Mr. I-Have-No-Concept-of-Time".

I guess since the minifig heads are hollow and won't block your airway if swallowed babies can play with minifigs? Good to know we still have baby toys in the house if anyone brings one over!!!

they know me by now. when i got there the one associate called out to the other behind the partition "hey - the lego guy is here" and that sales associate got very excited and said that it was the largest site-to-store palette they had ever gotten. they know the lego investing spiel by now.

Yes you can, I bought several Slave 1 & Sea Cow over the Summer using rewards.

yes, yes & yes...

It's all how you drive your car. I have a 2007 jetta and I get 5,3 l/100km. That is under what is said is average consumption. So yes, there are people that achieve this. It's hypocryte to point at VW and moan about they cheated. I don't approve and VW deserves to be punished for lying, but all those people that drive like morons and pull up like they are in a Fast and Furious movie are probably the first to moan about this scandal. So overrated, this crisis. Edit: And to stay just a bit on topic, I do not think this scandal will have a big impact on the sales for this LEGO set

I was never interested in them, since I lack service centers for many foreign models in my area. If you ain't got a Mopar, Ford, or GM product in my neck of the woods, you isn't getting service.

We service VWs everyday and they are way overrated. Sorry to any fans out there. German cars are generally overrated IMO. I've had my share of BMWs and Mercedes and they are pricey and unreliable.

What was all that "one in a million" talk? Honestly...if it wasn't for this forum, I probably would have quit ebay all together. It's nice to hear other people's stories of woe Thanks for keeping me sane!

Yes...this is what I do too. Turns out this person was just impatient more so then an a-hole. My message to them was "Sorry, I have been at work all day but will ship this when I get home"....to which they replied "Thanks, have a great evening." I think what happens a lot in this day and age is that people forget they are talking to a person. The person probably works, has kids, goes to school, etc (I do all of these). Until you respond with a "human" response, they think they are talking to Amazon or some other huge corporation. Anyways...still think there is 92% chance I end up eating something on this transaction.

On a bad day it might result in me becoming single again.... gotta watch where I leave those boxes and receipts. Out of sight out of mind argument

Smart.

Art deco spaceships? Oh yeah. S80-Deluxe by Vince Toulouse

I have to admit, I grudgingly moved over to amazon from ebay this year... and it's the best move I made. A few months ago, I started noticing that things that took months to move on ebay were moving two to three times as fast on Amazon. I can barely put in the effort anymore to post listings on ebay, because I just do a lot more solid business on amazon. And I have an excellent 100% rating on ebay that I built up since 98.. But, it's just a joke anymore trying to sell over there. The only thing I'll use ebay for is selling lots of used items that would be a choir to bundle on amazon. Literally, for every 5 things I sell on amazon, I get maybe 1 sale on ebay. Amazon is a touch more expensive in fees, but it's a lot more worth my time. I like the fact amazon is more stringent with it's sellers. This keeps the riff-raff that floods ebay, limited from the site, and as long as you are usually a decent seller with accurate postings, decent prices, and quick fullfillment rates, you are more than likely going to do well there. ----- I'm in too.. part-ae... ---Hello from Amazon Services, We are writing to let you know that your seller account currently meets the following Holiday Selling Guidelines for the Toys & Games store this holiday season: - Your first sale on Amazon.com must be prior to September 18, 2015 (sale does not need to be specific to the Toys & Games store): Yes - You must have processed and shipped at least 25 orders between September 1 and October 31, 2015 (orders do not need to be specific to the Toys & Games store): Yes - Your short term order defect rate must be no greater than 1% as of November 1, 2015.

Poop up the back is the worst!! Sorry bro.

In that case, I collect dust, dirt, and debris. Empty Capri Sun pouches, too, but those really belong to the kids.

That may be your opinion but it is not an accurate definition of the word collector. Anything someone collects of a certain thing regardless of value or rarity is a collector.

Thanks DCD, wanted a few more. Hoping to sell it paired with I-Rex in bundles Nov-early Dec.

as long as you have this guy too, you can be a coin collector

Zombie Sales Meeting

It's in the Fall catalog, and 60050/60052 are not. For what that's worth. Hard to see 3 City trains be carried at the same time.

Meh, already sold off all my benny spaceships.

The two that I know of are brickficiency and thebrickwizard. Google either and their respective site should come up.
