legoray01 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Why oh why can't people just be honest about stuff? Quote
tractorboy Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Sold a used 395 Rolls Royce set to some guy in Oz, who is now kicking off in messages to me about how it wasn't sent built.I usually mention in the listing that sets are sent disassembled, but forgot to in this one (and probably many others). I've never had someone complain about a set being sent disassembled before.Here's what he says, the ***...The Lego model arrived (at least I think it did), however I am very unhappy about the way you sold/send this item. I have purchased quite a few of these before and I have never had one arrive completely unbuilt in kit form. You have put up quite a few good pictures, however every pictures for the item on sale that I shouold receive shows themodel fully built and ready to display. In addition to that, no way in the description does it tell (warn) me that it will be sent un-made. NOT a happy customer.I got back to him apologizing for the misunderstanding, telling him I would have been glad to send it assembled if he had asked me to. I have a feeling it ain't gonna wash though. I suspect he's just looking for a few quid off or something. Quote

I'll offer him a refund and hope he doesn't leave me bad feedback. I'll be fuming if he does though. Quote

MarleyMoose Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't give a refund. It's frakking LEGO. Meant to be built by the owner. It's half the fun. Edited May 25, 2015 by CC-Marley Quote

I think the guy needs a flying headbutt, I just want to reassure that us Australians aren't all convicts or go into a a princess meltdown when our LEGO doesn't arrive constructed. All the Aussies here come from different states, so there is a good chance that one of us can deliver said flying headbutt 4 Quote

All the Aussies here come from different states, so there is a good chance that one of us can deliver said flying headbutt Haha yeah, I probably didn't need to mention he was an Aussie. I've sold a fair few used sets down under and never had a problem. Always glad to sell to our Aussie brethren. This drongo will be getting blocked though. 1 Quote
Thumper Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 indeed that's very likely just a ploy to get you to send them a refund... gee it's a "building" toy hint hint hint!!! suppose ya could tell him by disassembling it was to save him money on postage... Quote
weakside Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I had a lady buy a used Fire temple from me... said her kid had autism and loved to play with Lego, but she only had so much time to assemble sets and wondered if I could ship it assembled. It cost me a couple extra bucks to ship in a larger box (and no way it stayed 100% assembled) but I packed it up as nice as I could. It's a legit thing ... many people find building Lego therapeutic for many different reasons. Cool story and very kind of you to try accommodating her request. My 5yr old son was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) when he was 3...for him, building up his hand strength and fine motor skills was an area besides many that needed improvement - Lego was perfect. Building is fun, he can use his imagination free building and good workout for little fingers! He's hands has gotten a lot stronger with all the modulars we've been building together recently 3 Quote
TheGallows Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Dont people read the ads?? A fool and his money are soon parted.I would love to know what does everyone think the value of a Bricklinked MF is, with all the usual subs?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271873570792 This jokers backhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Lego-10179-UCS-Millennium-Falcon-/161716118430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25a708239e Quote
Ciglione Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Can anyone please explain me how to block someone from ebay? This person is bugging me. Quote
KShine Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Can anyone please explain me how to block someone from ebay? This person is bugging me.Go to Site Map (at the bottom of most every page), under Sell/Selling Activities - you will see Block Bidder/Buyer List. Edited May 27, 2015 by KShine Quote
gregpj Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Go to Site Map (at the bottom of most every page), under Sell/Selling Activities - you will see Block Bidder/Buyer List.Each eBay regional site seems to be slightly different but finding it via the Site Map feature seems pretty reliable. In fact, I can no longer find it through regular links in any of the "selling" pages. Nice work eBay. Quote
Val-E Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 a google search in your own language tends to work best. Seems ebay don´t want sellers blocking anyone. Quote

diablo2112 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Not everyday you see an auction asking 10x what the sets are worthhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MY-ENTIRE-LEGO-COLLECTION-TONS-OF-SETS-TONS-OF-MINIFIGS-LOOK-/301640872891?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276$12,000. Yep.I got about $1300 for this on the lot calculator. Granted, that doesn't include the used sets, but I seriously doubt there's $10k worth of used. Based on the pictures, I *might* go $1000 for the whole lot. Might. I dearly hope this isn't a member here. Edited May 28, 2015 by diablo2112 1 Quote

Based on the pictures, I *might* go £649.46 ($1000) for the whole lot. Might. I dearly hope this isn't a member here.If $1000 is what you think it is worth, then what is the ebay market value? I doubt the seller has got the value of the lot that wrong since he is an experience ebay lego seller (opened his ebay store in 2006)? Quote
