.. when I don't get feedback. Out of 5 eBay and 4 Bricklink sales I got what - one feedback. I cannot imagine that the feedback ratings are that low usually - just bad luck on my side.

actually you are on the high side :) compared to me.

 

i only sell via amazon and for me its about 1 ratings/50sells. { most of the buyers get item within 2-4 days.fed-ex delivery in a week. well packaged. still not getting any feed back. probably that is what's expected in the secondary lego sales! quick delivery and good packaging.} i don't blame them. they are buying @ premium so its ok.

That is especially low, however, even after requesting buyers leave feedback if they are happy with their purchase I usually only get about 30-35% of ebay buyers leaving feedback, bricklink is usually more like 75% so that seems really low. Though I don't do a ton of bricklink sales.

When people list opened, removed minifig, no instructions, no box sets as "New" on ebay. Anytime I select "New" on ebay a good 2/3 of the listings are not what I or even what ebay's official definition would consider new.

I was at the mall last weekend.  There is a mom & pop toy shop in there.  They don't usually have any good deals on Lego (despite their signage saying that they beat TRU; I guess sometimes they do, but that's an easy feat).  Lego doesn't move here, though, which is no surprise.  There's still some Alien Conquest on their shelves.

 

As I approached the story, I see a "everything must go!" sign.  They are going out of business, and everything is 40-60% off.  I thought maybe, just maybe, there might be a deal or two on a Lego set.

 

Instead, they've jacked up their prices on all the Lego, and have them only at 30% off.  They used to have the Pirate Ship Ambush (RRP $99) at $109.  Now it's been jacked to $156!  Yes, that's right.  $156.  So, 30% off still $109.  Meanwhile, same weekend, my local Target had them marked down to $75.  And I got them at $40 yesterday.

 

If there was even anything of any value there, I'd have left my name and asked them to give me a call when they were serious about discounting.  But it's not even worth it with these guys.

I think they try everything to sell something. All the tricks in the book. However, they can never match up to Target, Walmart, etc. To me, it is a shame these small shops disappear. They very often have older EOL sets that I buy and sell for profit on ebay.

If it's a BIN item, I know these are just competitors trying to see if my item sells.

What do you all think the record for most number of views and watchers before an item sells is? I have an item with 679 views and 27 watchers. Usually stuff sells long before that for me.

When your boss keeps lying to you in your face with dry eyes and as a consequence you will loose 8 days of leave you earned and are manifested in your labour rights. But... he makes sure he gets his leave and leaves you cleaning up the mess and rubbles he left behind due to his incapacity.

I had one with just over 500 views and 30ish watchers when someone bought it, I now have a non-paying bidder case opened against them so I'll try and break that record in a couple days.

I have a complaint: 22 seconds to order a HH from Target.

I have another complaint: the Aflac Duck. I'm supposed to want to switch insurance based on that duck? Idiots.

The Progressive lady is almost as annoying as the duck.  I avoid both insurance companies ;)

 

On topic: Darn eBay and their glitches.  As if I did not already have things to do on Sunday night :(

I had a buddy that had a huge crush on flow. Truth.

I was on hold with eBay for over 7 hours the other day... In no way is that an exaggeration and can be validated with a screenshot.

You know how hard it is to workout to eBay elevator music and every three minutes they tell u to keep holding as ur call is important to us.
