I'm curious are their any posts ( permanent stickies) on the site for new collectors that outline some of the pitfalls many of us fall into, i. e. Fake bricks, paying with CC, etc.

I know when I purchased the fake bricks, I emailed the company and they responded that they were real and that they were liquidating their store and that was the reason they were selling below retail.  I was not yet a member here so I didn't know about the forums to ask for advice. 

When I got started on BP a few months back...I found it difficult to manuever (still do).  Basically lots of dead-end links...like entering a massive house...and then finding that 90% of the rooms are empty and most everybody just hangs out in 2 or 3 rooms.

There's isn't a "Sticky" for newbs that was obvious to me...so helpful posts eventually get buried in 10+ page threads. The main forum page has all the key categories...but again...lots of empty rooms and occasional skeletons.

 

I've found personal story threads like Phil's especially helpful and comprehensive; but simply put...Lego reselling is simple in theory but also infinitely nuanced and complex.

This is the primary blog for Beginner's, but it appears to be a dead link.

lots of dead links right now, something seems wrong with the site.

If you’re finding broken links on the site, either report the post (and give us a reason why you are reporting so we know why) or post the link in the Site Questions thread.

We can fix it if we know about it and can figure out where it was supposed to go.

FYI @Jeff Mack if you haven't seen these reports yet.
