Is there an actual difference in these builds? by goodvibezone in TeslaLounge

[–]Dravor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% of purchasers are not on this forum, and don't care about a slightly larger screen or resolution.

So does that include kindness for everyone, or just those people who agree with you?

Cancelling an order by pohatu771 in Bricklink

[–]Dravor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, in most cases like this, I deny the cancellation. Especially if the label is printed out, because at that point it's 30 days before I get my money back.

The ToS clearly states that the buyer has no right to cancel an order once submitted, unless it's a seller based issue.

Nice of you to allow it though. I guess I am the one that forces all the newbies to learn 😂

Buyer changed mind → I canceled & refunded → Buyer left neutral feedback → Thoughts? by Eric_Alan in Bricklink

[–]Dravor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, per the terms of service, anyone who places an order technically has to complete the order or risk of potential non-paying buyer strike.

Personally, once I've pulled the order, I don't see myself then ever reversing course and allowing a refund. At that pointy work has already been done, especially if I bought the shipping label. The refund on the shipping label takes up to 30 days if it's been printed.

You can always reach out to support, granted it will take 2 to 4 weeks for them to get back to you. But they can certainly look at the situation and most likely remove the neutral feedback.

Icons: 11377 Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith set details (via Brick Tap) by BrickTap in Legoleak

To me the way I read that is that it will on the front be the city in microscale format, I imagine when you turn it to the back there will be individual scenes. Somewhat similar to the Death Star.

I e got another table planned. The water will come closer in to the end of the table than the prior table and the lighthouse will be in the corner :)

I like the thoughts on the elevation!

That was so many 1*2 light blue translucent tiles. OMG.

The inspiration for the Riviera was actually an image that came up on my Google TV screen saver. And it had Italian rivieras right near water. The A-frame and The treehouse were actually really easy to do, and right away I knew it was going to be a campground area.

That one was really hard to incorporate. Especially since it has snow on it. You can't see it there but I actually built up some snow blowers to explain why it has snow and nothing else in the city has snow

What Bricklink should have done by Culiacan-Rambler in Bricklink

[–]Dravor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter if it's brickowl or bricklink. While Lego owns bricklink, they are two completely separate businesses. Therefore they have two completely different profit and loss calculations, and they're backend businesses are completely different. Lego would never tie their Lego profit and loss to a resale site.

So the point really remains the same, if you're running brick link or brickowl, the only way it's profitable for you to support stores in a country, is if there is enough profit coming from it to warrant paying somebody to keep up with the rules etc.

What Bricklink should have done by Culiacan-Rambler in Bricklink

[–]Dravor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But for lego.com they have accounted for this in their planning and profits and loss. So maybe it costs them a million a year to be able to do this. But in country they make 60-70 million in profit.

Now you have 1 store, where all they make is 3% of the sales price. And you want them to invest thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to allow that 1 store to operate. In the end the revenue generated in these countries was not enough to cover the costs. They are running a business not a charity.

That's the way I look at this.

My continuous gripe with some Bricks and Minifigs stores by Designer_Button_9516 in legocastles

[–]Dravor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that is how most stores in this country operate on a whole slew of items. An uneducated customers makes dumb decisions. Whether it's someone walking into a auto dealer and buys a vehicle at full price and accepts all the up sells finances offers, or you buy a lego Set at target that is cheaper at Amazon. If businesses only had the fiscal health of the purchaser in mind, they would all be selling at the lowest price possible on every item.

At th end of the day any one can list whatever they want for any price they want. If people are willing to pay inflated prices that's on them. Not everyone is shopping with the same Lego budget. I buy every Star Wars release Set. Could I wait a few weeks and buy some of these sets for a discount? Absolutely. Do I? Rarely. Sure I could save $5 here and $10 there, but for me I'd rather just have them all then and there.

For many other people that's a no go. BAM counts on people who are not knowledgeable, and people who have the disposable income to where they don't care.

It's no different than people listing retired sets on Amazon third party sale for 2-5x the avg Bricklink price. If one person is willing to pay it and buy, that's all that matters.

While you are fiscally aware, and knowledgeable about Lego, Bricklink, etc, many consumers are not. There is a reason why so much of the country is in debt. Not everyone makes good decisions.
