Guest betsy805 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Putting together a couple sets from the last used lot I bought, and getting a missing pieces list going. Indiana Jones, Temple Escape, missing a light gray ball.....$25 to replace??!!!! What's worse.... I think I threw it away as I was sorting random crap from the LEGO. Didn't even occur to me that the stupid thing wasn't just another random toy thrown in the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hxckid88 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Why would they. They havnt done a thing about all the fake nfl jerseys for years. And that trumps lego figures by the thousands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even occur to me that the stupid thing wasn't just another random toy thrown in the lot. Did the same thing 6 months ago. I have no problem spending extra money on bricklink to complete sets but $25 for that ball is ridiculous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Here's some school logic that never made sense to me. Honestly, how asinine is it when you end up in detention more than the punks causing trouble just because you stood up for yourself and said "No"?

Didn't even occur to me that the stupid thing wasn't just another random toy thrown in the lot. One of the first bulk lots I bought I tossed the head from the creature in 7255. Oops. Now everything that I don't think is Lego goes in a box to be tossed out when I am done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd rather watch Sliders. Netflix! At least in Canada they have all seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd rather watch Sliders. Well, once the Professor dies and the whole interdimensional invasion f-tard begins, then what are you going to do ? :P With DS9 you have rather solid continuity, engaging storyline, and they show most of the space battles in the wars. At least go watch Babylon 5 and figure out why Sheldon(BBT) hates it so much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'll just say this much. I am so not a Trekkie by any stretch of the conceivable imagination. I still seem to be the only person to remember let alone watched Stargate (film & TV series') and Farscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought dark gray for 9 bucks and put it up on ebay as 100% complete with minor flaw . I can get minifig getting expensive but this silly round thing is just nuts.

nolanfan34 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've sold here and there on eBay for like 15 years, ramping up more lately of course, and have rarely run into non-paying bidders. Now I'm having to list the same item for the THIRD time! I think it's cursed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just bought some pieces from bricklink. Parts came in yesterday. Get ready to sit down and finish the Queen Ann which was missing 2 pieces. Pull out the 2 missing pieces from their bags and noticed they are the wrong length Seller gave me 1 x 6 instead of 1 x 8. Now I have to wait to hear back from the seller then wait again to receive the correct parts (hoping they even do have the correct parts). Was planning on finishing the ship this weekend.

Hate that too. Love the ship though, just got done building/selling that one last week. It's crazy how close the new/used values are on that one.

Big cool ships belong in that category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yesterday, someone on CL listed two of the Winter Village pieces, the Market and the Cottage. Listed them in separate posts. I wrote them and told them I was interested in picking them both up, and ask (nicely), if they would consider a combined price $20 less than the two individual prices. I was polite, and indicated that I had interest. No email back. Look - I've expressed interest. I'm asking you for a small price reduction. If you don't want to offer it to me at that price reduction, just write me back and tell me. That's fine. But don't go silent. Even if they're already sold, don't go silent, Just talk to me!

That has happened to me on several occasions too. I would write to the seller to inquire about a listing and even follow up with another email a day or two later and would get the silent treatment. To date, I would still see the same listings a few weeks later. Scam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
