Bought a new Bricklink set on ebay. It looks like there is one broken seal beneath another seal that is intact. What do you think about this?

Pretty much new to BrickLink. From what I’ve heard I’m probably not getting this. Am I cooked? Or is there hope.

First time I've had USPS damage a BL order so wanted to confirm what to do next. I thought I filed a claim with USPS for a refund but after looking into it it sounds like the seller should refund me and file a claim themselves? That sounds wrong but wanted to reach out for some help with anyone that's dealt with this before. I did message the seller yesterday asking them but they read it and didnt respond

So I’m a young guy trying to figure out how to sell this stuff from my childhood, what are some ways I can figure out how much things are worth and strategic ways of taking inventory/grouping things together for selling

Tried out this label print for my inventory, works pretty well !

Hey guys, moving soon and really don’t have time to list the filing cabinet full of wheels, tires.
Can I bag them up and list them in my store as
“Big freaking bag of wheels/tires?”.
If I can, someone PLEASE shoot me some “third-grader” style instructions

How would you list these? I have them listed as Trans orange as that's the closest official color? If theyre both technically Orange just different versions how would you list them so the buyer knows there is a possibility in different hues? Just add it in the comments?

Thanks!

[United Kingdom] I have slowly been bagging all my Lego sets and creating wanted lists on bricklink for all the missing parts in them. There are about 40 sets overall mostly from the 80s and 90s. The sets are mostly complete with the exception of a couple.

I don't have the time to order all the missing parts and build the sets to take photos of them to list ebay. I have already done most of the hard work for you. Each set is in a numbered polyzip bag and any missing pieces are assigned to numbered wantlists on my bricklink account. Also have a big bag of "spare parts" I couldn't find belonging to any sets.

I would give you a reasonable price and I'm sure you could make quite a bit of cash of them if you already have some of the parts to complete the sets.

My username is clearbricks. I have attached a screenshot of all the sets I want to sell. Any with a zero are complete (with the exception of a couple that have notes beneath them).

Hope I'm using the subreddit correctly.

Kind regards

Update: After further research there are multiple websites that WILL buy incomplete sets wholesale.

I wondered why the bicorne is placed parallel to the shoulders (En Bataille) in the instructies of Fortuna, instead of front to back (fore and aft, or En Colonne), that would be more appropriate around the historical time period ~ 1798, seeing there are also golden epaulettes on the shoulders.

I’ve changed therefore the side to side to a front to back (en colonne), because it seems the right way to do so

TLDR: I just launched Figventory, an app that identifies up to 200 minifig parts/figs from a single photo, prices them, checks figs for completeness (and flags what's missing), and shows every figure you can build from your loose parts. My favorite feature prices bulk lots before you buy. Free full-access month at the end.

The Long Version:

Hey everyone, first post here. I'm Matt... lifelong LEGO® fan, and this started the way I suspect a lot of your collections did: my childhood LEGO® came back to me in a couple of big bins, and I fell down the rabbit hole of identifying the minifigures hiding inside, one part at a time. That process TOOK FOREVER and after months of lost weekends, I couldnt manually identify parts one by one anymore and started building the tool I kept wishing existed.

I ran the beta through a few of the LEGO® communities on here ( r/legostorage, r/Bricklink )... five months of their bug reports and feature requests later, Figventory launched on August 1st and was shaped by community on Reddit!

My favorite thing in it... the bulk lot pricer:

I just finished a Chrome extension that prices a bulk lot right on the listing page, before you buy. Its the part in the video above. It just cleared Chrome's review and it's unlisted while I shake it out... happy to drop the link in the comments if there's interest.

What the app does:

• Identifies up to 200 minifigure parts or figs from a single photo, with automatic color identification and pricing.
• AI Smart Verify: computer vision checks each identified fig against its official parts list (down to the arms and hands) and flags exactly what's missing or wrong
• Every fig tracked as complete, partial or mixed... and when you add new loose parts, it tells you which partials you can now complete
• Worth Completing ranking: which figs to finish next, by profit and ROI
• Containers and container groups, so every part and fig has a physical home... plus printable QR bin labels: stick one on a bin, scan it with any phone camera, and the bin opens instantly with everything inside. No more opening five bins to find one torso.
• Interactive picking lists: queue up figs to build and it tells you exactly which container to pull each part from, with real-time check-off as you build
• Wishlists, BrickLink-ready exports... and a whole lot more in the works (SETS COMING NEXT)

The Hook Up:

You can fully just kick the tires on the free tier. It was intentionally built with more features and access than I saw in other apps, and part identification is unlimited during launch so you can get as much use out of it as possible. Everything you upload stays yours to access and build on, paid plan or not.

That said, I set aside a pool of free-month codes for the LEGO® communities that helped build this thing, and I'd love for this sub to be part of that. >!FIGS-MINIFIG!< (FYI: the only way for me to do this was a checkout promo code, but you won't be charged and you can cancel right after without losing the month :)

No pressure on any of it. Truly. If this saves even one person an afternoon of squinting at torsos, that's the greatest thing I could ask for.

I'm always around... comment or DM anytime and I'll respond ASAP.
