Hmmmm
On brickbay you expect a bit more.
You take a chance wherever you buy.
My rule of thumb is this - if it's a lego buff, then you should know where
you stand - if they sell
lampshades, shoes or samurai swords then, ... well, they may not know what
WE mean
by 'complete', 'good condition' etc.,
On brickbay I don't expect an 8862 'boxed' where the 'box' has no innerds at
all !!
On ebay, well ...
What's complete? An 8865 with grey hubs ?! What do you do?
When quietly suggesting to the seller that they are not being quite
truthful,
they take umbrage and scream "I am NOT a liar!" etc.
But, I have been lucky too - a MISB 6416 for c. $12. Did I complain or
shout? No sir.
So I say on brickbay there ought to be little room for misunderstanding - I
expect most
brickbay sellers are buyers too. Fudging over shipping is a bit
disingenuous.
Ebay is a different kettle of fish ... caveat emptor
