Want to buy blue connectors

[Khasen]

I am new to Eurobricks so I hope this gets posted in the right place.  I want to buy a number of Technic Axle Connector Smooth (with x hole + orientation), in blue.  Apparently that is a rare color.  I would like to buy up to 10 of them.  Either new or used would be fine.

Well you can have a look at bricklink of course. Welcome to Eurobricks b.t.w.

Found it for you: https://store.bricklink.com/TBS?itemID=224778291#/shop?o={"invID":"224778291"}

Maybe contact that seller?

From a functional perspective this would be a good alternative: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6538b#T=S&C=7&O={"color":7,"rpp":"10","iconly":0}

 

A non-purist option might be to use white parts and e.g. "Rit dyes" or https://www.techniques-chimiques-nouvelles.com/en/dyes-for-plastic-materials/. I don't have any experience but looks like it works well.

Thank you very much for your help, and the links.  When I tried to post this Buy request on the Buy, Sell, Trade Forum, I could only get as far as the Community level, and I could not figure out how to post my request directly on the Buy, Sell forum. Is there something I need to do before I can post directly on the Buy, Sell page?  I even looked in the New Members section and did not see anything.  I have posted on other forum sites before, and it is usually pretty easy to see where to type in a new entry, so I am not completely new to forum sites.  Any tips would be appreciated.

Pretty sure it is because of your post count. After a few more posts you will have access. Also keep in mind posts in community do not count, towards post count.

Indeed, the rules in the Buy/Sell section is only for members who have participated in the community for a while. Please see following quote from site admin Shadows (sorry, I wasn't able to directly quote as above)

" Note: Members are unable to participate in discussions here until they have reached "Vassal" rank by making 10 posts to the site. Prior to that, they are unable to use the PM system either, so it would be pointless to allow them. This is designed to reduce spam from members joining simply to post an advertisement and leave. The minimum rank for topic creation is "Citizen"(100 posts). That allows us the opportunity to get to know you before deciding if we want to be involved in a transaction with you and no exceptions will be made, so please don't ask. "

As for the OP, Bricklink or Brickowl or Brick and Pieces (currently out of stock) is the best place to get them.

Thank you to all for taking the time to answer my questions and clear up the rules for me.  I actually have a few inputs to make regarding the quality of MOCs and how they differ, so I will post them.
