 | | "Default" part type. —Larry Pieniazek

| | | I buy a lot of parts to support MTW operations. I have found lately that I am getting increasingly tripped up in some of my deals because I forget to check, or the seller doesn't make it clear, whether the parts on offer are used or new. MTW sells (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

Could be some sellers are milking the situation. Maybe assume used (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

| | | | | | | (...) I don't think any kind of "rating system" is a good idea. There would just be too many problems with that. Some people would be confident that their item is in "N (new)" condition while others would think the same item fits into "U1 (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

That's because BB has a better class of buyer and a better class of seller than the mechanisms that come before it, and because most of use realise that for the most part, we can bug you for new features, but mostly need to work our (...)

| | | | | | | | | (...) One thing which is definitely one of the nagging little things which keep me from selling more stuff is that when I do go to start selling some parts, many will come out of my parts bins. In all probability, they are basically new, but some (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

I'm gearing up to another round of selling (going into the summer(1), I must be nuts!), and I'm shifting my basic parts description from "new", which still applies, but isn't as clear, or as conducive to selling as "handled only in the sorting (...)

I agree, I'd like to see something like a field which specifies new or not (I'm in the same situation as Larry, buying to put together kits). Having the seller specify it in the splash screen isn't much (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

Both MTW-3001 and 3002 are, in large part, the colors they are because (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

I haven't found this to be a problem, but perhaps that is because I am unlikely to order BrickBay stores whose "front window" just says "I accept the following forms of payment. . ." without specifying things like shipping costs.
