LEGOist Personality - 20160510

What kind of a Lego personality do you have? (Closest match)

[Collector] I don’t know why, but I love ‘em boxes.
[Builder] I honor thy Lego namesake, I play with it, and I play with it well.
[Creator] I’m the MOCer - I mix and match and bricklink and break all the rules.
[Digitizer] The chains in the physical world will hold me back no more.
[Purist] I will only use parts from LEGO. only LEGO. No alternative, no modifications.
[Customiser] Blades, Paint, Flames, Glue. All will bend under my tools.
[Conqueror] Armies will gather under me! Ionioi Hetairoi!
[Visionary] I’m the Photographer that envisions a scene and captures it.
[Opportunist] I wait for the best time to buy, and wait again to sell. Chronos is on my side.
[Investor] Lets just get it when we can and sell it when we achieved our desired price.
[Scalper] When there is no market shortage, I will create the shortage.

[Collector] I don’t know why, but I love ‘em boxes.
- Buy a lot of Lego and never build anything but share many a box shots!
- Just simply DONT HAVE TIME to build the stuff and buy first and worry later.
- Sets might never be opened...

[Builder] I honor thy Lego namesake, I play with it, and I play with it well.

- Builds with a idea in mind and source for parts.
- Builds with random parts on hand.
- All MOCers will have a unsorted box or bag of random parts, no matter big or small.

[Digitizer] The chains in the physical world will hold me back no more.
- Relies on LDD to create builds. Unlimited parts to be used with no limitation of space.
- Remodification might be needed when sourcing for physical parts due to cost and rarity.

- Disregard cost just to stay true.

[Customiser] Blades, Paint, Flames, Glue. All will bend under my tools.

[Opportunist] I wait for the best time to buy, and wait again to sell. Chronos is on my side.

~[GAMES] $5 off $15
~[BAZAAR] $5 off $10
~[PAYDAY] $15- $5
~[YACHT] $10 - $5
~[FREESHIP] $6 - $3 
~[BLACK36] $6 - $3
~[FORCE] $8 - $4


Here is a slight explaination of how shopee works so that we can iron out all misunderstandings. I have my share of hiccups since my store opened.
1. Buyer Place Order - applying of promo codes are done here.
2. Shopee alerts Seller and give Buyer 3 days to make payment.
3. Buyer's Action
- Buyer makes payment and Shopee informs seller to ship.
- Buyer makes payment and clicks on items recieved : This will allow Shopee to instantly process payment to Seller.
- Buyer forgets about it and Shopee cancels the transaction; this part Sellers have no control over and Buyer might lose the promo code.
4. Seller ships items
5. Buyer's Action
- Buyer needs to acknowledge that the good are received
- or apply for extension of date
- If no action from the Buyer, it is assumed that the Buyer has received the items after 7 days and will auto close.
6. Shopee will release payment to the Seller. which will take quite a few days.
Here are a few points to take note of.
- Sellers do not see how much the buyer is paying, what kind or how much savings you managed to offset using codes is not controlled or even seen by the seller.
- Payment settlement takes very long; please do not hold back the seller by buying something and not collecting. True that you paid for the items, but the Seller wont receive anything til much later. if you wish to create an unfavourable environment for the Sellers, they will simply list at a slower pace to have more payments clearing before listing more.
- Regardless of how many account or how many codes the Buyer is using, its the Buyer putting in effort to save as much as possible. Sellers don't have to adjust your pricing accordingly. You are not LLM.
A Seller Buyer relationship can be a cooperative one. We don't have to kill one another. Think Win-Win.
