I'm to busy to attend LEGO conventions around the USA or in Europe... but I'm
looking for some familiar names who have a table/booth at LEGO fests/conventions
that want to earn some extra bucks selling my LEGO DVDs. I'd ship you a
quantity of DVDs, as well as advertising materials, a printed Table of Contents,
and some printed chapters for potential buyers to look thru.
Generous commissions offered.
Cheers,
Gary Istok

I now decided to give a 10% discount to anyone who clicks the link in my store
to sign up and makes a purchase in my store.
Do let me know if you do, so I can make doubly shure you get the discount.
If you fill your cart and havent opened a RME account yet, place the order,
put RME in the comments box, and pay after your RME account is live.
A 5% discount will be given to those that pay with an existing RME account.

I read the discussion on Bricklink, so I signed up for a Revolution Money
Exchange account. I added a link in
my store that shows buyers that
I accept RME, and refers them to the service. Heres some of the feaures:
FREE to register for an account
FREE to add money from your bank account
FREE to send money
FREE to receive money
FREE to request money
FREE to transfer money to your bank account
Also, you get $25 for signing up. Offer good until May 15.
Also get $10 for each person you refer to RME and opens an account.
The only things that they charge fees for are:
Check withdrawals, check stop payments, paper statements, ACH returns, and
overdrafts Currently open only to US residents.

I just developed a web application for the iPhone called iPick-a-Brick:
http://www.brickbuildr.com/iPaB/
This is the current list of part on the PaB wall at the LIC in Orlando, FL... as
of yesterday (minus a few more parts I still need to enter into the
database... I really hate data entry).
Anyway, Id like to enter PaB data from other LEGO stores. If anyone wants to
e-mail me some of that information, I would greatly appreciate it, but please
contact me first before sending data... Id like for the part information to be
mapped back to a X/Y coordinate on the PaB wall -- this will make updating the
information much easier later...
In the mean time, over the next week or so, Ill be working on a way for
trusted people to log into the web-site, and update a stores inventory in
real time. If you live close to a LEGO store with a PaB and would like to help
keep this on-line inventory up-to-date, e-mail me. Will will be able to do it
on-line via a iPhone (or any mobile device with a web-browser).
Some Disclaimers: This web-site does not guarantee the accuracy of a stores
inventory; some items may be sold out or the information on this web-site may be
inaccurate or out-of-date. Information for this web-site is only to be used for
reference. If you find this list to be out-of-date, please help us by e-mail us
with updates.

A US company states the following:
"We don't accept credit cards or on-line-payments. (...) As payment, we accept
Money Orders, Cashier Checks, www.auctionchex.com, Cash, Personal Checks(All
checks USD on US Bank), and wire transfers (expensive)."
Non of those methods is acceptable for a non-US residents due to either huge
fees or extrely slow transaction (or both). Well, cash can be sent like we used
to do before PayPal, but it doesn't feel that comfortable above, say US$50.00.
So, my first question is: what payment method is the best mix of modest fees and
speed, when PayPal and credit card are excluded, if made domestic in USA?
And question #2: Would anyone be ready to serve as a payment relay? I have been
sketching on how it may work:
* I place an order to this company and get the total with p&p invoiced.
* You add your PayPal fee, the domestic payment fee, and what you want for the
trouble.
* I accept the grand total and pay you via PayPal.
* You pay the company when you have recieved my payment. (Thus, this is risk
free from your point of view. You don't send any money before you have recieved
them from me)
If I find you trustworthy and this system works well, there are most likely more
people in Sweden that will use your "service"!
