Type color + partnumber in the search box...
That is, if I understood what you where trying to get

You did and it works but how many people would know that. It certainly isn't
in the help section. It would be much easier if the colour filter was added to
the page. Simple amendment to the page and code. It is nothing more than an 'AND'
clause as CCBricks has added to Goatleg to help find heads and torso's.
So easy to do and would be so helpful

This will allow an easy way to find a specific piece in a specified colour. At
present the only way that we know of to do this is by knowing the element ID
(PCC) and that is not known to most, without looking it up.
It might also be useful when you choose a part no say 3001 to get not only a
lot count but a summary of the total no of items (broken into new and used).
Again the only way this can be done now is to manually add these up. (That is
what we have computers for, especially ones with SQL databases)

Sorry that doesn't work. It just lists the items by colour. If you then tick
one say black and go the filters on the right hand side it ignores the black
choice.
We want to be able to define on the right hand side of the screen what colour
and part number and condition as you can do within a store and what you have
shown does not work that way. The screen shots below show what happens when you
do it that way, and that is not what we want.
If you do it in a store it works fine but in the My Inventory area, not at all.

I would like to suggest a way of preventing this. Maybe we can have an option
to ENABLE/DISABLE buying an item from other people:
[ ] reserve items in a quote to be reserved for that specific buyer
Maybe this options should be ENABLED for everyone by default (new and existing
stores).
Saso
* or am I missing something?

Voted no as well. Not enabled quotes, not necessary - all orders are processed
before advising buyer what their shipping costs will be. Tying up inventory or
'rszerving it for a quote' would not work - no one gets 10-0% of their
quotes to orders so stock would be 'tied up' rather than being available.
First come, first serve.

Whilst it is a good idea to have more options available for 'status'
- we do not allow echeques to be used (stated in our terms and conditions) as
they add complications to what should be a simple transaction. Holding on to
items and parcels for up to 7 days is not for us - some stores might not have
a problem with it but we do - hence the statement in our terms.

| | Hello! I am currently placing an order with one of the coolest store owners I've
come across, and he let me pay layaway for about 2 weeks when it hit me:
Why isn't there a layaway option? Obviously, this can benefit the seller,
and the lower-income buyers together, but before I continue, Let me explain
the concept of layaway:
Layaway is an option where you pay weekly, biweekly or monthly a set amount (agreed
on by both parties: buyer and seller) until the item is paid off.
For the seller, this means once the price is agreed on/the first payment is made,
they have to put the item aside (regardless on other buyers' offers after
an agreement is made between the first two parties)
For the buyer: This means the once the price is agreed on, you stick to the price
and stay faithful to the deal 'till the end. This also means communicating
with the seller for anything that should be noted such as change of payment account,
or change of address, etc. Missing your payment by one day could void the whole
transaction leaving the buyer at the mercy of the seller.
Both parties should remain as transparent as possible for the smoothest possible
transaction.
Due to people filing chargebacks on other people, it would be fair to give refund
permissions ONLY to the seller. This way, if the buyer breeches the contract,
or simply wants their money back, the seller could then decide if a refund is
warranted.
It's like a regular BL order, except its just broken up over time.
What do you guys think?

Voted no as this would mean tying up inventory until the process was finished
and in the UK you would have to have a credit brokers license to offer 'credit'
(which is basically what a layaway is)
Our inventory turns over far too quickly to tie up elements with this type of
idea. Not sure it would work anyway - People might get tempted to buy 'bigger'
than they can really afford - you then have 'credit control problems'.
If this were to be implemented it would have to be optional as circumstances
are different everywhere.

| | *This is the second time I've posted this two-part suggestion, and I want
to post it again now, due to the current threads about the lacking of the system
search, especially "ngdere's" search for the cuusoo tiles. I don't understand
that one. If they are in the catalog, the system should easily find the tile
with "cuu", just like I can easily find the tile with "ba" (3068bpb0821). Anyway,
read on, vote yes or no (or yes...).
I've always found the part (or set) input within "sell a part" lacking. Let's
say I look under a part, find the number, and put it in. I click "show catalog
info" (for price, etc), but it shows "page not found". Why? Because that number
that I input was not the number bricklink chose as the "main" number. Once I
track down the piece, I will often see that first number on that item's page,
as "alternate item no."
Take 42023. That has 41763 as an alternate number, but if I put that in, "page
not found".
Suggestion #1:
If there is an alternate number for an item, it will auto-redirect to the correct
page, with the correct number. A small note at the top saying it was redirected
would be nice. Also, if the number "form" spot (in add a part/set) would auto
change to the correct number, that could also be nice. No more looking right
at the item and number, but having it do no good, because there is an unknown
2nd, 3rd, etc. number.
Suggestion #2:
I find it rather annoying to put in a number, and have it not find the item,
just because I get 1 of the 4 or 5 wrong. I think BL should maybe add a number
suggestion page. Let's say I have a 3004 (you know what that is), but let's
say I can't tell the number, and I think it's 8004. That is another item
entirely. If I put that in parts, it will show "page not found". I think it could
be massively helpful if it instead said something like "no part with that
number found. One set with "8004" matches (shows set) and one part with 75% number
match, "3004" (shows part)" You can then clearly see, "oh yeah, it IS 3004" or,
"oops, I'm on add part, not add set."
It would speed some things up greatly, or at least, resolve some search issues.
You don't have to have 100% match, or even the "correct" number. Partials
and alternates are accepted, at least to show the user a suggestion, "Is this
what you are looking for?"
Thanks for reading,
Miles (C0lsanders_)

Voted yes but I believe there are better options available. As this is a SQL
database using full text search is available and should be put in place. This
would cure many of the ills in trying to find things, especially where you have
1 or more of the numbers wrong. In addition those who use Goatleg for helping
with minifigi torso and head id's know that by using more parameters in the
search you often narrow the options down considerably. Try doing a search for
Minifig heads in yellow with recessed stud - you get pages of items, but if you
use Goatleg you have options to use additional key words.
Development need to think this one through thoroughly as the search is absolutely
vital to the entire site - sellers as well as buyers.
