I agree completely.
It is completely ridiculous for someone to complain about a foreign
smelly sticky substance on Lego.
I sold a bunch of Lego that my cat had tinkled on.
The buyer had the nerve to complain about it.
So what if the pieces stuck together in one big yellow
sticky mass, the white pieces were yellow,
the blue pieces looked greenish and everything stank like
cat piss.
After all, it is lego.
Take it home, clean it, air it.
If you don't like it, buy something new.
Smoke, cat piss,
after all what's the difference.
Sarcasm aside,
Smokers stink, and I have received sets in
"mint condition" that were so stained by cigarette
smoke that the white pieces were almost the same colour
as the yellow pieces.
Another set was so bad, I couldn't even go near it because
the smell triggered my asthma.
I don't think anyone would find Lego covered in cat piss acceptable.
So why should Lego covered with a different yellow, noxious substance
be different.
