I have to say, I don't miss this.

That's hardly a complaint as I prefer to print my own anyway that are much easier to read and scan.

Do you get discount on shipping in UK as a top-rated seller? It's a legit complaint...

Bad things happen to people who do not ship even when it is eBay's fault

Sellers messing up the sales stats on bricklink. It was bad enough for minifigures, now they're starting to do it on large sets too

Why would they do this?

always has always was.

Can't search and find Complaint Thread and get Complaint Thread to complain about search (on mobile at least on mobile).

I know the names of threads/topics. If I enter that in search shouldn't I expect to get back at least something related to my search.

A search for "My order status" returns mostly DD topic. Topic titles should have weight. What's up with that?

Make sure you select "in content titles only"

Thanks for the hand.

Unfortunately this has no positive effect.
If I search for: My order status
With the titles option on the first Topic hit is my own post in "My order status" from today. That is about 4 scroll pages down on my phone. Mystified why with titles on the exact name of a topi/thread isn't returned (thread=topic, right?).




Anyway...

Seeing the "Exclude incomplete" checkbox is not marked, perhaps there is a chance those could have been incomplete/partial sales. I have seen very low prices that turned out to be sets listed as incomplete for missing the box, some parts, a few minifigures, building instructions, or whatever.

What is the example with minifigs?

Similar super low price sales dragging down average (maybe also from incomplete as suggested)?

There is no benefit to sellers for a lower average so I'd doubt any messing around is specifically intentional.

Not LEGO related but...

Traffic tonight. I'm at my son's preschool. A normally 25 minute drive is a 50 minute drive home. Ugh

Yeah, I know about the "exclude incomplete" checkbox. For example on Assault on Hoth, some sellers will list only the snowspeeder or just generally for sets without minifigs. But unfortunately this is not the cause over here.

Rather, it was probably someone selling a bunch of stuff in a super lot. Setting every item super cheap to catch buyers attention and then just having one set at a ridiculously high price. This would be solved if they had an "exclude super lots" checkbox.

Once again, our TV & internet are both down (CableOne)... Happy f&@king Thanksgiving!

Parents who think I should sell them Hatchimals at mrsp just because our kids are friends .. no more play dates around the holidays .

I just claim these as losses when doing my taxes.

A transparent 1x1 plate mounted on top of a transparent 1x1 plate, round ..... just spent 30 mins trying to separate them (they were part of an official LEGO build, none-the-less). Luckily I hadn't cut my fingernails in a while .....

Decided I needed to take a shower, but knew I had parcels incoming today. Had just had a delivery so decided to go for it, thinking I had a window. Got in shower at 2:08 pm, got out at 2:22. Found door tag from Purolator saying they attempted delivery at 2:11. Their pickup station is not incredibly close, and the order is probably large. I don't have a car. 

Bah.

 

Edit 30 mins later: I take it all back. Went to drop some orders off at the post office, saw the Purolator truck. Caught up and it was my regular delivery lady. She handed the parcel over, only 1 block to carry. Karma or something I guess. Whoot!

My wife (aka Mrs. Profit Eater) decided my daughter absolutely needed the American Girl of the Year doll from the year she was born, of course several years later.  Mr./Mrs Reseller helped me out with this. You're welcome, Happy ****** Holidays!!!

Does anybody here knows the Brickset admins? If so, can you please tell them to stop putting that sodding advert from blocking their articles and the Amazon EU price checker. The "X" to close it is off the screen on my tablet so I have to go upstairs and use my iMac. In your face adverts STOP me buying those products!

As for sodding cookie warnings, I bet people voted Brexit since this was an EU idea.

Oh ouch. My wife as been an AG collector since 10 years before my daughter was born. I don't even want to think about the amount of LEGO profit that has gone into paying for AG stuff through the years. (For some reason, my wife thinks the girl needs a new doll every time we visit the store).

I bet she's complaining on some AG forum right now that her husband needs a new Lego set every time you visit a Target

My wife doesn't mind me buying the LEGO, it's building the LEGO she hates.  She hates having the dining room and breakfast tables covered in LEGO when the boy drags it out all the time.
