Tria Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 PLEASE HELP I really want to hear your opinion about that... I ve won in ebay.de this: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320901817620&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:DE:1123 please look carefully the photos. the description says: Lego XXL Knights Kingdoms Ritteburgset.8877 und 8802 translated description: Hi I sell here one giant castle from lego. 8877 and 8802. The castles are in great condition but maybe some small bricks missing, because the sets for so long in children's room was. But no big brickg only small-smaller-tiny. We have also the original box and instructions for the castles. For questions just contact me. Check also my other auctions. but the photos of the actual items in the listing show also 8876. Since I am new in collecting, I didnt notice-figure out that. I liked how the lot looks like so big in the first four pictures and I ve bidded and won it. Now the seller, realised that his lot includes also 8876 and asks me 10euros more, otherwise he will remove the 8876 from the package, which he will send me. What do you think? Should I demand the photos' items without the 10euro extra? Or does he have right asking the 10euros? Pics or description wins? thank you in advance for your help!
Shadows Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 What do you think? Should I demand the photos' items without the 10euro extra? Or does he have right asking the 10euros? Pics or description wins? Description wins in this case, though I'll admit that the pictures are misleading because of the additional set. Considering the value of 8876 though, I'd pay the extra to have it included and doubt he intended to make the mistake (or he'd be asking more than 10 for the additional set). I wouldn't bother with additional pictures. This is one of those situations where you hopefully see the auction early enough to ask questions when pictures and descriptions don't match. I've adjusted the title of your topic to make it a little less of an emergency and moved your topic to B/S/T/F where it belongs. Good luck.

I wouldn't bother with additional pictures. I agree with this, it's still a good price for what you get.

roamingstop Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 thanks for the answer and the move! I wanted to start it in b-s-t-f , but I cannot start a topic there (I am still a vassal member)... For 10 euros - take it and enjoy! Sometimes these mistakes can be very helpful to make nice scenes for low €€€
Tria Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 I decided to pay the 10euros extra but when I asked him to specify some things about description and items he told me that I am going to receive the items as pictured without paying 10euros extra! So problem solved! Thanks for the help!
dtrzippy Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Let me know where the best location for this post would be. I live in the US so I was able to go to one of the store opening events and get the Lego Mini Retail store 3300003. I'm trying to start a Lego club at my church so I wanted to auction the set to help cover costs. Since (as I understand) this item isn't available in Europe, I had several inquiries about shipping to Europe. I tried searching online since I got the set over the weekend and was getting fees like $50-75 to ship to Italy and Sweeden. Does anyone who purchases Legos internationally have recommendations on how to best ship and purchase internationally? Thanks
Donut Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Does anyone who purchases Legos internationally have recommendations on how to best ship and purchase internationally? The most affordable method to ship is using your local post office, USPS First Class International Mail. You can calculate the postage cost from this website. Shipping cost varies by weight and location (with Australia being the most expensive). This method does not include insurance, if your buyer requests it you'll have to ship through the more expensive options (like the prices you've found online).
dtrzippy Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Thank you, Is there anythoughts about trying to ship multiple items or even flattening boxes to get a cheaper shipping option due to size?
