Looks to be one of the parts from a 4548 9Volt speed regulator that attaches the wire to the track. This one without wire and metal tab that makes connection to metal rail on track.

We do on more expensive sets. Primary reason is for lost. Which has happened a few times.

Also, in our experience, if all the pieces are present and unbroken, USPS does not consider a crushed/damaged Lego box as a damaged item even if insured. Even if it is looked upon by many as a high value collectable. Partial negotiated refund or return have been options we have used.

Wow he's confused why I will not let him ship the label to me and I will have 0 costs on my end. He also said its for him and his son to build, so I do not have to worry about packaging it really well. I think I am more upset by that statement. See, I am a box snob and take great pride in my packing. LOL He's blocked now, so hopefully it's over. With over 3000 feedback I expected more understanding from a buyer. Thanks all! You just confirmed what my spidey senses were telling me. Run.. Run

MarleyMoose and Junkrigger That is what I am afraid of - the shipping label will not protect me. Just cause more headaches. I don't need him to buy this. He just made a higher offer - which I declined saying that we needed to work through his request to send me a shipping label. He responded he is confused because I won't have any shipping fees so he is not sure why I will not accept his offer. Seriously, he wants to pay a lot more in shipping but will not pay an additional $10 (now thats the difference) to just buy at the BIN price. Nothing makes sense. So I have blocked and he can buy it from someone else. We aren't the only one of these out there.

Yes, that's why my senses are up. I've had drop shippers purchase other things without incident. I ship with insurance and signature required for sets over $300. He and his kid have to have this set to build. That's the story I am getting on why he can't wait. For a drop shipper to send a label that is 1/3 the cost of the item- that seemed steep. Thanks Junkrigger- I will just tell him no. Then pray that someone else buys it in the meantime.

I have a buyer who made a not too terrible offer on an item. It was auto declined but he has been messaging me. Wants to purchase at his figure and then send me a USPS overnight shipping label- at his expense, because he wants it sooner. We offer free economy shipping (which would be FedEx at $25... UPS overnight would cost me, through ebay, $135 where 2nd day would be $50ish). Maybe he has a sweet shipping deal he can get on his end that I can't.. I don't know and I don't want to overly engage with him if I am not going to do it. The only reason I have any thoughts of consideration is that they have over 3,000 feedback at 100%. Anyone have experience with buyers wanting to pay for their own shipping as opposed to just paying more to upgrade on my end?

When will they remove the word UNEXPECTED from the pop up error message? One time, yes. For 55 minutes straight, no.

A couple of Big Ben at retail price at Target

Testing out a new scale we received as a gift. It accurately weighs a test weight, however, while weighing a number of sealed sets (all of which were purchased from Lego shop at home or in store) we are getting different weights. For example, all of 6 Old Fishing Stores are showing different weights. The differences range from 2 to 8 grams. One box seems weigh out of the range at 30 grams heavier. We are finding a 2 to 10 gram variation in a number of sealed sets. We were hoping to use weight when checking other set purchases from retailers such as Walmart. Is this variance in weight of sealed sets normal? Is there a variance range that would be considered "safe" to confirm box contents? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Had this type of incident twice in December. On one received similar email and told them to notify ebay. Shortly after contact received email from ebay stating fraudulent transaction, do not ship, and fees refunded. Other one, transaction was cancelled out right by ebay stating fraud. Fees refunded. Then had to relist items.

Is there a way to tell if a sealed 21103 set contains the "sheild" misprint? Thanks

I tried a forum search for "sales trend chart" and "monthly listings value". This post was all that I came up with. I have a question regarding charts for sales trends. Reviewing the monthly listings value chart I see that it covers a time frame for 1 year, is this the same 1 year data that is reflected in the "1 year" performance line of the "pricing and performance information" chart? I just want to make sure that I am looking at the same starting point while cross referencing. Thank you

Ordered at 10:32 PM EST, Cancelled email at 2:03 AM. Other orders still awaiting ready for pickup email.

Kid is in 9th grade and interested in computer programming/science. He is currently taking a web programming course and is participating on a school team in the 2014 picoCTF. Future courses offered at the school are additional web programming, Java, Advanced Java and AP Computer Science. His home machine is currently an older Quad core, 3 Gb Ram desktop running Windows XP. It doesn't seem to be keeping up any more. I am looking for suggestions of system requirements for a new desktop or laptop for him to use over the next few years in these courses. Reading through the forums, it appears that many of you are well versed in this area. Thanks

When I have had similar requests, I have contacted EBay and explained the situation. Made sure the EBay rep said I was good to go and covered under the EBay policies. I make sure that I record the time, date and name/number of the EBay rep. I then send a message to the buyer, through EBay, having them confirm their request and spelling out the actions that I will be taking, (ie. opening the sealed boxes, re-packaging the sealed bags, etc). I also mention my contact with EBay stating the date, time and rep's information. This is for EBay's use in the future if necessary. A return message from the buyer acknowledging that email should cover you. As an extra CYA, I also video the opening of the set boxes, the packaging and sealing of the shipping box for proof that all items were packed, nothing missing. Your buyers rating also helps.

Having dealt with shipping numerous Lego sets and Lionel trains exceeding $250 in price, I have always just seen the insurance and signature confirmation costs simply as "the cost of doing business". Both are there to protect you the seller. A small amount to pay for the peace of mind. As others have said, you can factor the costs into the amount you are willing to accept for the item.

Random end dates are usual for me. Sometimes one month or so, others a couple of weeks. Also mine sometimes state in store only. The biggest pain though is the rewards coupons will not combine online. When I have two five dollar coupons, I can't add them both to the same purchase. i.e. Want to buy an item priced at 12.99, it will only let you use one 5 dollar coupon. In store you can use them both at the same time for 10 off.

Sets based on the Septimus Heap series of books by Angie Sage. And if Warner Bros would ever release a movie since they bought the rights to the first book a couple years ago...

Looks great, but disappointed that no Slimer is included. Will have to repurpose a Rotta.

Sorry, didn't know if I was allowed to post that. Short answer in my opinion is it appears to be a good deal.

If complete, I'd buy the 10194 from you for $150 and pay for shipping.

Received 2 HH today from Bentonville. Both were boxed and in very good shape. Looks like someone actually made the boxes to size.
