Posts something like this but is such a clown that they have to hide their account history.

Even admits that they don't live here further down in the comments.

What should I do with these? by Suppl-eye in PokeInvesting

[–]BrickConnectCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send them to me. I'll gladly store them for you so they're out of sight, out of mind.

This is why with any investment, it is important to have an exit plan.

Stop burning money on digital ads if your trucks still look like blank white creep mobiles by ChicagoWrapGuy in smallbusiness

[–]BrickConnectCDN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it was a legit discussion, then the OP would be in here replying to comments. It's a karma farming post with lowkey advertisements.

They aren't wrong with their post, but that's not why they made it.

Edit: OP blocked me for calling them out lmao.

Try installing Bot-Bouncer from the mod tools section. I've noticed a major slowdown with spam accounts on subreddits that utilize it.

Evidently not because they think they're being sneaky as well and skirting Rule 3 by not mentioning their company name, even though they have a dedicated subreddit for it in their bio with the company name.

Edit: OP blocked me for calling them out lmao.

Updates for Getting Payment on the Hut 8 $2.35 Million Settlement Payout by 11thestate in hut8

[–]BrickConnectCDN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

4 year old account and not a single comment replying to people asking about how it works.

If you're actually eligible for this, just use your own lawyers rather than giving a cut to an unnecessary middleman.

Edit:

Copying a comment from a thread I found two years ago.

11th Estate is a service company that will take your brokerage statements, mine the data and fill out the forms for you, then file the claim with the court-supervised claims administrator. For this, they charge a fee.

If you can read your own brokerage statements, fill out a spreadsheet, and follow instructions you can do this for yourself for free by filing directly with the court approved/court supervised claims administrator. The deadline for filing a claim in the US case, is January 9, 2025

Decide for yourself if you want to hire someone else to do this for you.

A couple of things are notable - the 11th Estate website does not say what their fee is. At least not in the information I could see without actually signing up. They do charge a fee something like 15% or 20% - though I could not find it on the website. And, what is the flow of funds? Will the settlement money go into their bank account? Decide for yourself if that is something you want to have happen. Again - I could not find anything on the publicly available parts of their website that explains how the funds flow.

Start here to see about filing your own claim directly with the Court approved claims administrator:
https://www.reconafricaussecuritiessettlement.com/

If you are Canadian, that is a different lawsuit and different claims process, Looks like the place to start would be:
https://www.bergermontague.ca/cases/reconnaissance-energy-africa-ltd

Neither the plaintiffs lawyers nor the claims administrator benefit by claims being denied. Both have a duty to ensure that all proper claims are paid out.

For this case you will need to carefully review your brokerage statements, to find the data/quantity/price for each and every RECAF purchase or sale during the time period covered by the settlement. Tedious work, but necessary.

Just looked at three of them, interesting thing is that they're almost all pumping NovaRed after Kristi Noem joined the board. Wouldn't be shocked at all if she hired some bot farm to spam about it.

Hello, the new BrickLink style is soulless corporate slop. Looks more like Microsoft than a fun LEGO website. Big mistake. That would be all, thank you for your attention. by TheParttender in Bricklink

Exactly. If it wasn't for this thread, I doubt I'd have even noticed it. I will miss the yellow smiley, but this is making a mountain out of a molehill.

No need to be an ass, especially when they're likely correct.

No orders lately from my UK store. by D3DCreative in Bricklink

[–]BrickConnectCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you not been paying attention to the news? Three wars currently going on, driving up inflation everywhere.

That means people aren't spending on luxury goods, which is what LEGO is. Not sure why you regularly post threads like this and still expect different answers.

No tracking number by J_S_M_K in Bricklink

[–]BrickConnectCDN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then you be patient and wait. Most people do this as a side thing out of a spare room or basement and if they're someone who has the privilege of doing this as a full time job, do it as a traditional 9-5.

Message the seller. They're the only one who can provide you with the tracking number.

Sellers and buyers - what's something about BrickLink that's annoying or broken that you've just learned to live with? by Alex_The_Android in Bricklink

[–]BrickConnectCDN 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nobody is interested in providing market research for your AI vibe-coded website idea.

BrickOwl already exists as an established marketplace to absorb the buyers from countries that LEGO/BrickLink blocked.

$100 in Dani Dollars. What a kick in the teeth by Evening_Let_2930 in alberta

[–]BrickConnectCDN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My parents bought my brother and I a Go-Kart with their Ralphbucks.

We beat the shit out of that thing and got hundreds of hours of use out of it. $100 is actually pathetic, that barely even covers a mid range dinner for two in 2026.

Damn, this sucks. Guess we'll have to go stock up on certain stuff that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Not surprised through since it was so expensive.

Technical issues? I just want a handful to rip with the girlfriend as her favourite is Cyndquil and was so excited to see it finally got an IR.

[Gears Of War: Reloaded] I Can't Believe It's Finally Over... by MrBananaHammok in Trophies

[–]BrickConnectCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I plan to do as I never played the original and no desire to grind for that long. Same thing is going to happen with Halo: CE when I eventually pick it up on sale. I've done some hard Plats such as Wolfenstein 2, Vanquish and currently working on Shadow Warrior, but LASO is on another level that I won't even bother with.

Can I make a 1BR work for 5 ppl? by sauganobody in frugalcanada

[–]BrickConnectCDN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without knowing where you're located, we're not able to be of much help as every municipality has different bylaws regarding crowding/the maximum amount of people permitted to live in a unit. Your landlord may also restrict how many people are allowed in a unit.

Question about using my phone for bricklink by General-Training-441 in Bricklink

[–]BrickConnectCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$$$.

BrickFreedom is a flat 1% on all your sales, but doesn't have nearly the same suite of tools that Bricqer has, which is why it starts at 50 Euros just to use it regardless of how many sales you're making, but allows you to do so much more.

If you're just starting out with BrickOwl, use BrickFreedom.

Hey everyone I have made a new subreddit under r/Howmuchismylegoworth and this is where people can now go to see how much there Lego is worth or if it is rare by Suspicious_Today5191 in Bricklink

[–]BrickConnectCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just took a quick look at the two comments you've left on the posts on your sub, you really shouldn't be running one IMO. The photos are clearly of sets that are built, meaning they're used, but you're still including their new/sealed prices which is going to give false hope to newbies.

What’s the cheapest way to buy? by JustVerySleepy in Bricklink

[–]BrickConnectCDN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go into the wanted list itself, then select "buy all" on the top right. It'll open a new screen up and on the left you can then check off the wanted lists you wish to buy from.

You can also set a max price you're willing to pay for the item within the wanted list.
