But what I do not agree with you is that "most sellers on Bricklinks are not out to rip people off". Human is a kind of creatures that you can trust and you cannot trust. I believe that most people won't rob the bank because they need to invest cost and risk and it's criminal and we have police. However, it is not convincing to quickly give a conclusion that sellers on Bricklink or any other platforms won't rip people off. It is not like robbing a bank, it doesn't have big cost, no risk, and even if Theoretically I believe that it's criminal, but police certainly won't book a flight and travel to the home of the sellers and catch him because of the complaints from the buyers who tell the police that their $100 new Lego is manipulated, who can give a proof? and no one will take it seriously. Police won't even start a file. We can't request the business world to ban return of items after payment, however, as a big services like Amazon / Lego which are the direct providers should at least emphasize to their customers that they will not just sell returned Lego without investigating the contents.

Thank you very much. You are the one so far who has my concern explained the most clearly. You have suggested a lot of possibilities that could happen, and are feasible, and there is no rocket science involved. It really depends on the individuals. I understand all these well. However, I do really want to know if big services like ebay / Amazon / supermarkets or even police are doing anything or having any strategies to take care of these rats? Or do they only try to solve problems when problems arise, when complaints arise, and just take care of this case by case? I find that KFC and McDonalds' staff will immediately throw away any returned food even if it's still wrapped and left for only one second, which is their guideline to ensure the food safety.

I've bought a "new" lego set on bricklink, box is damaged but the bags are all original and sealed. All bags are just plastic bags without printing because it's a retired set for 10+ years. I've checked them all last night and they were all sealed and unopened. Then, from what you mean, it is "possible" that the bags of my set look unopened but once resealed??

What does it mean by "Exact dimensions" Could polybag be opened and resealed like new?? I can't imagine how it could be , if it could.

How could plastic bags be resealed with a heat sealer undetected? The first point is it's almost impossible to open a plastic bag without damage like new I didn't know that otherwise than baseplates there could be larger parts which were never bagged before I started the thread.

How many bags in total for 10159 City Airport Does anyone know or does any site have such information to find Does anyone have pictures of all bags of 10159 when it is unopened?? I don't mean the total number of pieces which are easily found out on bricklinks or bricksets. I mean the number of plastic bags when it is new.

Driving and air-conditioning are far more damaging to the environment compared to plastic bag. There are tons of reasons that majority of Lego bricks should come in sealed bags, for example, to easily make sure that all parts are there and no major missing. If they just put 400 or 200 pieces into a box without any bag it's VERY LIKELY that sneaky intelligent people use heater or hair dryer to open and reseal the box like new which is a method well advertised on youtube already. Bags are just.. Critical..... at least for most parts. Could plastic bags be resealed like new and never opened???? Why do they need those plastic bags I've bought a "new" lego set from bricklink where they claim that the outer box is opened and damaged which is something I don't mind, but all bagged bricks inside are original and unopened. Yes they look unopened, but could it be once opened????

but What is the usefulness of white baseplates? How would you use it? For snow scene??

where to get? Does Amazon sell??

Regardless of the fact that many of them only ship within their own countries, which region of eBay usually has, on average, by impression, better Lego deals? I've compared eBay USA and ebay UK, ebay Deutschland. My impression is ebay UK sellers usually offer the best deal, while USA sellers usually overprice. In fact, which region of eBay usually has the best deal??

Why Lego sometimes does not bag larger parts? Do you know why

I recently bought a couple of old but "unopened" sets that includes the international airport and the police motorbike released in around 2004 and 2005. The boxes look "unopened" but are in "quite bad" condition in which I was notified and expected. However, some bigger parts were never sealed in any plastic bag, while most other parts were. Is it normal?? Did some parts really come without being sealed in any bag when they were first born in Lego

As a result, is it better and more worry-free to pay a little bit more buying on eBay instead? I've compared the price the "New" one on ebay looks like approximately double the price on that of the bricklink for their "Used" one. Um.... Or what do you think is the reasonable average price of one mini-figure that includes hat, hair and that the mini-figure is just an ordinary city person which is nothing exclusive or retired. I'd building up my city and want to get a lot of different city people

I'd like to purchase some mini-figures in lot quantities, so buying used one on bricklink is possibly my own choice. I'd like to know in case their used bricks are too bad in quality, can I return and refund? Could there be any scam by the seller during the process?

On ebay, many sellers claim that they are from pet and smoke free home while they are selling brand new and sealed Lego sets. How could pet or smoke affect brand new and sealed sets? Just wondering

Is this a deal ???? https://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-BULK-LOT-OF-50-NEW-MINIFIGURE-HEADS-FIGURE-TOWN-CITY-BODY-PARTS-YELLOW-MORE/292438429830 $11.99 for 50 minifigure heads I think they are genuine. He is a 100% positive feedback seller and so many have been sold. I just wonder how they could get this so cheaply. Is there any way to distinguish a genuine figure from the fake counterfeit....

Then where to get the hairs heads and legs etc....

On Amazon it's only $37.98 and free shipping to US. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Brand-Store-40305-Pieces/dp/B07HGHGCW2 In my country it's only approx. $20

Yes. I think so. I am very interested in it, but I certainly won't spend 799x0.6 for that

Recently I found this set (See attached image) and sold only $6 here (Sales). I am so interested. However, just one thought - I think Lego bricks are made of ABS instead of PP(Polypropylene), which is considered to be food safe. Could ABS leach into food?

Any help???? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=973pb0801#T=A Qty=44 in total from 30 different sellers. If you look closely many of them only have 1-2 qty. I am new to bricklinks. I'd like to get a lot of police officer, maybe 200+ from single sellers to save on shipping. Any advice? I am new to bricklink and Lego (left for 20+ years and only back last year)

40% off for star wars is a great deal but unfortunately I am only interested in city, trucks, vehicles and building houses....... But one of the reason for 40% off is probably because it's a really super big set taking up lots of storage space and sellers usually want to clear up big stocks So, is the starwar 40% the only deals for Lego for this black Friday on Amazon

When will be 40%? And where? Amazon US or UK??

Will there be any black Friday deals on Lego on Amazon?? Usually when will the deal start? Will it start a few days before or only on the black Friday day??

I've just finished watching its youtube video, it's great, but it's great for permanently closed windows. My windows has to be opened for fresh air because it's my rest room......... It shouldn't work for me. And my lego is just placed directly near the windows
