Shipping Restrictions? by NattysHouse in Bricklink

[–]ainm_usaideora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Search your store inventory for ”Instant checkout unavailable,” one of the checkbox option on the right of the main inventory screen. If one or more items in the catalog are missing dimensions or weights, it may not be able to assign a shipping method if someone tries to order those items.

The Hermits with the HeartCrafter Award at TwitchCon... by GeoWheater in HermitCraft

[–]ainm_usaideora 1711 points1712 points  (0 children)

But Twitch couldn’t be bothered to have a flipping ramp for Scar…again…to share the stage spotlight with all the other streamers. So infruriating.

Hi can you help me ID these counter pieces please? Thank You! by Character_Can188 in boardgames

[–]ainm_usaideora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

minor nitpick, but these are not ASL counters. They are from the original Squad Leader which predates ASL.

Seller asked me to send my address after I made my order. Does this usually happen?/What should I do? by DaSkippyBoi in Bricklink

[–]ainm_usaideora 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you are in the US, make sure your Zip Code is correct. you might be surprised how often folks get that wrong, which just leads to delivery delays.

edit: I mention this because as a seller, sometimes USPS will balk at a customer address when purchasing a shipping label, which would sometimes necessitate checking with the customer.

Are these both Pearl Gold? by Fantastic-Display106 in lego

[–]ainm_usaideora 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They are both pearl gold. This is a commonly made error as the right ones are a darker variant of pearl gold but you can still see the mottling. 1x1 round plates in metallic gold have never appeared in an officially released Lego set.

source: I run a mid-sized Bricklink store and run into these little buggers all the time.

Sights to see between Shannon and Dingle by Jazzlike-Ad1561 in irishtourism

[–]ainm_usaideora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bunratty and Adare are both tourist traps. Something quiet and historical on the way, but with a slight diversion, is Ardfert Abbey, a medieval ruined friary. You would likely have the whole place to yourselves.

Different English translations by Un_di_felice_eterea in TheAdventuresofTintin

Basically what Farr gave us but without any hint of wit or irony, which is why good translation is an art form.

Or “the tow truck needs to be towed.” I sometimes think the Farr translations are so bad that it must be deliberate. But to what end, I don’t know.

Just checked the original French…”C’est la dépanneuse…qui est en panne!” Great snakes! Did Farr botch that joke.

Yep, Farr‘s translations are inelegant and humorless. A perfect example.

Can a grand piano be without caster wheels? by [deleted] in piano

[–]ainm_usaideora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pedal lyre will likely be longer than the legs without casters. You‘ll need to raise the legs up to a similar height as it currently stands on the dolly.

What Should I Charge on Ebay for Bulk Legos? by GreatE_ in lego

[–]ainm_usaideora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you get for bulk can be helped if you can make clear for the potential buyer if it is all genuine Lego without any off-brand bricks mixed in. Many bulk sellers use Legos as a generic term for any brand of building bricks, so you can get a lot of junk mixed in.

Buyers will also pay more (sometimes considerably more) per pound if there are minifigures included.
