Hurricane Sandy (4 years ago today, blow me)
Build It Back NYC (Can I move back into my home yet?)
Kmart (Thanks for splitting my 4 set order into 4 separate orders and shipping them in plastic bags)

So i was looking for other places to sell apart from ebay so listed a few sets on gumtree, all was going well then suddenly my account got banned. Contacted their customer servies and they were of no help. Said I violated the terms & conditions but would not tell me what i did. I have no idea why i was banned as all i did was list 4 sets and listed as i usually would on ebay. Tried making a new account and got banned again lol

Does anybody have any recommendations to alternatives to selling sets locally in uk?

Anyone sold any lego using facebook marketplace? Might give that a try as would be alot easier selling sets locally.

Why is it so awfully quiet on ebay? 

People should not start buying Xmas gifts by now?

Tesco?

Last year the feverish buying started late.
Complaint of the day- buying something that looked too good to be true- and then finding out that it is.

Spending an hour with my micro counting scale trying to decypher the confusing English written by someone in China to figure out how to make the scale work the way I want.

I kept figuring it out but kept getting confused on exactly what I did. Finally did get it (and wrote it down!)

Crappy walking dead episode

Crappy walking dead episode

The series is a shell of its former self. Se2-4 were greatness. They've consistently flubbed character development and seasonal plot arcs ever since. And its already apparent se7 is just going into completely silliness.

Its a shame, too, cause Neagan had a chance to revive the series.

Never read the comics, but I've heard plenty about Ezekiel and Negan.  I was totally engrossed in the Ezekiel and Carol conversation.  Maybe I'm in a good mood knowing Cleveland is on the cusp of winning The World Series.

I'm on Verizon too and I like the coverage, but don't care for the data plans.

So I needed a bathroom break while shopping. Well as I was washing my hands, the guy who came in a bit after me finished up, left the stall, then went right past me and out the door. You know, that "wash hands" sign is not just for employees.

Probably a future customer of yours.

Reminds me of the old story of the Navy and Army guy in a latrine together...

Soldier walks out without washing. Sailor says "In the Navy, they teach us to wash our hands."

Soldier replies "In the Army, they teach us not to piss on our hands."

Future reference lower the resolution to 720 or if it's bad outside 480. HD requires more signal strength. If you have 480 on chances are you won't see any 771 or 772. If it's REALLY bad watch it through the app (as long as you have wifi or LTE) some TVs have the app built in if not laptop,tablet, smart phone, media hub, etc.

My day job prevented me from putting as much time to my side job (selling craps on eBay)...

Not sure if this should be posted on complaint or "I love it" thread

Amazon SC arrived with less than prime condition box. Creases clearly visible. I know box condition is not the end all be all to a buyer who plans to build it down the line..but just a pain to look at... I've received better boxes via ebay. At least I can see pictures there.

Great tip. It came back quickly but still can't believe I missed it.

Buyer purchased a large set from me on EBay. Sends email asking me to correct a mistake in his address (he put in Hawthorne, TX instead of Hawthorne, CA). I replied courteously with the message that I will refund him his money and cancel the order so he can make the update himself and repurchase, because that keeps us both safe. I proceeded with the cancellation.

Since then, crickets. Obviously used the opportunity to find the same set elsewhere cheaper. *sigh*.

My jobs firewall decided to classify brickpicker as a gaming site, so now it's blocked.  Now I have to figure out another way to look busy.
