My Walmart orders started arriving today, several missing small amounts of the image on the front of the box (box fully closed up). Do you have post anywhere that talks about quality control and what you will accept and what you have your fulfillment center return? Seems like 10% of shipped items come with some sort of dent or ding. Thank you in advance.

I don’t but that’s a great post idea.

In general, small rips or dents are okay.

I will return or exchange all that have punctures or are crushed though.

Some people keep and sell as “open box” and still make a solid return.

I appreciate the quick responses. Hope to to sign up for your mentorship group early next year. Thank you for the Q&A in the meantime.

These items are listed as out of stock as shipped items but I search my local Walmarts and they had inventory so I was able to get the 50% off by purchasing online and choosing to pick up. Also, I’m not a Walmart + member as far as I know

Nice! You only had to be a Walmart+ member for the first 3 hours of the sale.

Anyone know if there's a cap on the cash back amount per session from raukaten, at least for this 10% walmart deal that's going on. I couldn't seem to find any fine print, though I might have just missed it. I think RetailMeNot often caps at like $50, so I wasn't sure if Raukaten does similar or not with their cash back offers?

Not sure, I've never hit it personally.

Alrighty, that must just be more of a RetailMeNot limitation. Good to know

I am restricted in these two for some reason but I’m able to sale other LEGO items

Is there something additional that I need to do?

No.

Amazon clamps down on certain items during Q4. They open back up later.

With rakuten, do you need to click their link before each individual order? Or can you click it once and then place 10 orders in a row on Walmart getting 10% cash back each time? Thanks!

I use the Chrome extension and make sure it's enabled before I place the order.

If you aren't using that, you'll need to go through their website for each order.

Although I'm gated in the "official" (lower sales rank) listing. I am ungated in the higher sales ranked secondary listing - gonna go for it and hope to not get stuck with dead stock in 1 year :)

I do not recommend selling on secondary listings. They get deleted often.

Almost all listings open up post retirement.

Whichever set you buy will still be a profitable sale on other marketplaces worst case.

Thanks for the input, as always

Looks like you can only get access to the Walmart deals if you have Walmart+

Yes, I say that in the post...

Sorry, I misinterpreted the last line about unlimited orders without a subscription. I see where you said it earlier, my bad!
