May I ask what the difference is on this 'Inside with ribs' torsos compared

Should be EST, daylight savings time hasn't started yet. And using GMT isn't
going to work with everyone, not everyone knows where they live in relation to
GMT. EST is -5 hours for example.

So us, 'CET' guys are therefor 'forced' to remember that EST
is -5 compared to GMT and since CET is currently at +1 GMT we need to add that
up to know that the difference is 6 Hours between EST and CET 
Me thinks your explanation makes no sence whatsoever, particulary as there are
more BL users 'outside' the EST zone then BL members living 'in'
the EST zone 
It's just an outdated feature, most sites run in each 'propper' timezone...

Quite right: too many people are just naive in those regards...
I recently got a mail that I considered 'strange', after reading about
10 words I dropped it in the trash can.
2 days later the receivers have been notified it was a 'test' and the
results where this:
Out of near 6000 receivers, 668 people (so over 10%) tought they could actually
'cash in' a bit of money for free by replying to the mail, about 2% actually
even provided 'personal details' in the reply.
Crazy...
Compare this to a website like BL with 613000 registered users, and you have
12260 users who might actually fall for such crap. Even if the amount of 'active
users' is only 20% of the registered members (so 122600) there is still a
potential of 2450 members who'd jump right in on offers that are 'too
good to be true'.

Reasonably sure that's not true.

Correct, sellers do need to know 'some' stuff about the country they
are 'exporting' to, as of certain thresholds (mainly over 15~18000 Euro),
they might need to 'register' in the 'receiving' country to avoid
'issues'. But the chances anyone here is exporting more then 15~18000
Euro (per year) to 1 country is quite slim...
Besides that one needs to know what is allowed and what not (not just talking
about palstic toys here), and how it needs to be presented... (return label on
front or back, CN22/CN23, invoices/billings needed above 800 Euro, pro-forma
bills, etc, etc)
Limiting oneself to 'I only need to know what my country expects/allows'
is not good enough.
So it's handy to have a forum, quite a good place to pick up some details
from other countries once in a while

The 'cash cow' ain't the postal services, it's 'customs' aka
governments), the postal services just run (aka advance it) on behalf on the
person they have to deliver it to, so yes you pay the 'postal service'
as they deliver it, but they already paid it to 'customs'.
In Belgium, Bpost even sometimes charges a cost (depending on the 'advanced'
amount) for doing the 'advanced' payment to the customs department...
Add the VAT, add handling, add 'duty' and it can be a 'killer'...
And it's no longer a 'slight chance', it's quite 'systematic'
in the whole of the EU these days, they know the have a 'cash cow' so
they are willing to pay extra personal on it

Now where on earth did you read all those EU countries do not charge duty (or
import taxes, or VAT or whatever you wanna call it)on toys
All the EU countries you state *can* charge 'import taxes' and as a matter
off fact they frequently do, the threshold for free import troughout the EU is
22 Euro, every order above that value is subject for 'import costs and/or
VAT' depending on value and content (and always a 'handling' cost
on top *if* they process the shipment).

| We used to have just 1 or 2 or 3 'payment methods' but as time goes by,
new payment methods are added to the site and one can only suspect this might
even grow in time.
Yet our 'invoice' template remains quantity '1'.
Now every 'payment method' has it's characteristics, and this implicates
that the 'template data' (whatever it contains) must be 'altered'
when sending an invoice.
Obviously the details in the invoice will differ when the payment method changes:
Paypal (manual and/or a link), paypal onsite (Pay button), IBAN (Iban/Bic details),
Stripe (PAY link), Cash(no COD): Provide cash on pickup, Money order: Please
to...
Basicly, sellers need to keep their 'head' together when sending an invoice...
and even if they have a 'template' containing all options, they still
need to remove/add lines to make it clear for buyers 'what' they need
to do.
The easiest solution: A template for each 'payment method'. It's
2017, where getting closer to 2020, time to evolve and time to add some features
that are 'usefull' IMHO
Thanks for reading
And pleas vote 'YES' (even if you don't need it right now)

NO...
Old feedbacks, including negatives and neutrals, can give you an idea on who
your dealing with and tell buyers whether there is 'pattern' when something
goes wrong.
If BL would purge those negatives and neutrals, then they would need to do that
for all sellers, do you really want that ? (showing 1 example in the screenshot
below, I could give a couple of dozens like that)?
You seem to be bothered by the few negatives you carry? Why? You've had near
4000 transactions, with 3 negatives, that's less then 1 per 1300 transactions,
neglectible
And I doubt buyers will hold it against you when they need to determine whether
or not they wanna buy from you...

He 'claims'...

That would depend on 'how' it was send, sending cash requires a certain
amount of 'intelligent' wrapping so that it ain't 'obvious'

Coins glued with tape and between cardboard.
The latter remains a problem if it goes trough 'scanners' (for airplanes

payment type even though that option states that it is for local pickup only.

I even got a couple of 'international' ones, without any hastle, but
those where 'bills' only (and invisably wrapped by the buyer).

this until after he mailed the money, frankly because I've never had anyone
do this before!

Don't consider it 'unique'
| | I accept lots of cash payments from members of my LUG, but it
doesn't usually occur outside of that.
|
Once had someone send me a 'ton' of coins between cardboard, I suspected
him to be a minor emptying his 'piggy bank' , it arrived, I shipped,
no hastle
| |
Can we get BrickLink to only accept "Cash" payments on an order if that buyer's
postal code is on a seller-selected list? I don't know how postal codes
work in other countries, but in the US (and Canada to, I think) the zip code
gets more specific as you go from left to right. So for example, using wildcard
characters, I could allow cash payments from anyone in Lincoln, NE with a single
entry: 685**.
|
Sounds complicated, as BL would need to split the 'national buyers' into
thousands of states and provinces all around the world, with the option the be
able to select 'multiple' regions in 'multiple' countries (I've
had international buyers picking up orders because they only live about 100 miles
away - I'm in a small country-)
Deactivate 'Cash' if you don't want the hastle, people who wanna
pickup will usually send a mail anyway after seeing your address (and usually
that is *after* they already made the purchase), so just leave in a non instant
payment method (Paypal onsite 'only' would be a problem)

In all fairness to myself: the item number at the end of the existing entry is
wrong, it is possibly inventoried in the wrong sets (unless included as an alternate,
since both sets had their own instruction booklets), it does not have the 1090/1092
identifiers in the item number or title, the year is missing, and the title does
not include the words written on the front of the booklet. All of these things
together made it difficult to locate and I've submitted change requests to
fix the entry.
But I'm only making excuses, am I not? I have failed and can certainly understand
your disappointment in seeing your hero stagger drunkenly away from perfection
toward ineptitude.

It is the ultimate disappointment when it comes down to your catalog actions,
it is extremely frustrating seeing someone mess up the catalog like that, 'sorry'
is not an acceptable excuse, you should now stop contributions for the rest of
the year and meditate about it, then come back next year and start with an apology,
then 'maybe', just 'maybe' we'll forgive. BUT: we're
not going to forget (just to be clear)

I currently have 3 original Used copies of this set. Each was purchased from its original owner. All 3 versions have the "Thin U Clip" variant (Part 4085b) of all 8 Medium Blue Plate Modified 1x1 with Clip Vertical. This coincides with its appearance in the Grand Carousel that same year. Some of the last produced copies might contain part variant 4085d, but I believe these to be extremely rare. Please change this variant appearance to Alternate.

If you look at the logs, the 'regular' and 'alternate' have been
changed 3 times so far (and so this is the 4th one *sigh*).
How hard can it be to 'invetory' a set with a certain type (first one
found by the sumitter of the inventory), and then simply add alternates along
the way
The b, c, d, versions of this part are being found randomly in sets and there
isn't a clear call as to 'when' LEGO uses them, as it depends which
'plant' produces them and 'where' TLG stocks them...
I found all 'd' types in my copy of the winter holiday train, except
1, which was a 'b' type. I assume a few where at the bottom of TLG's
storage box... Why? because TLG doesn't differentiate them and put's
tem all together

Yes I have, but as I said this is not quite right. The original minifigure has
the solid stud head, and the newest ones had the blocked open stud
|
The notes say that early copies have the solid stud head, so it's the same
as you said, just differently worded.
|
As far as I know, minifigs are inventoried with the first head they are 'found'
with.
This means that if someone finds it with a 'b' type head first, then
the fig get's inventoried with that head (alltough it is possible many more
figs are found with the 'c'type head). Occasionaly figs are found with
a 'c' type, and later on people find the 'b' type of heads, but
the figs remain with 'c' type, as that's how they are first found
with...
Following that logic, the 'a' type was 'before' the 'b'
type, so the first one found, is 'a' type, the 'b' type for this
particular fig came much much later. It has only been recently BL inventory admins
started to approve changes from 'b' to 'a' type 'still whished
there would be the 'alternate' head option), so from a logic point of
view the request should be 'approved' by the IA's and the cadmins
should change the note towards Y2K re-issues would carry a 'blocked open
stud', as it would better fit the timeline and current 'policy' on
the heads.

What do you mean? That's what Paypal Onsite is.

Never mind, I think Ray stopped reading about new features in 2014
Sorry, Ray, but in another thread people already explained to you that there
is no involvemend between BL and PP, it is simply a sellers setting, you 'hook'
your Paypal account to your store and offer your buyers a 'PAY' button,
the rest is API calls between BL and PP
An API works like a phonecall:
BL dials PP
Hi PP, this is BL, we have one of our members who bought from one of our sellers,
and we would like to use your service to do the payment transaction.
PP: OK, send us the details...
BL: Sellers PP email is:xxxxx, amount is xxx, currency is xx
PP: OK, thanks, we'll send the details to the buyer for confirmation.
PP: hello buyer, please login in and press confirm on this 'presetted'
transaction.
Buyer (logs in): OK, go ahead
PP hangs up and calls BL
PP: Hi BL, payment has been transferred, order can be set as 'paid'.
BL: Thank you, we'll do so right away...
This is what 'PP onsite' is about, I stopped using 'regular PP'
over a year ago.
And buyers still 'mess up' because not all sellers are using this method
 
and so buyers don't get 'used' to it (reason they mess up)

well, some things simply aren't

So easy to do and would be so helpful

Granted it can be a burdon to type the exact color name, particulary for long
colornames
So an additional filter for the color might be a nice thing indeed

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

Voted No.
As with any items in a store, first one who check out gets the item...
Automaticly reserving something for a buyer has the inconveniance that an item
is 'blocked' for other buyers, nice, but not all buyers 'getting
a quote' check out, so during that time items would be 'blocked'
(imagine the potential abuse by competitor sellers of certain items).
What needs to be changed on BL is that when an item from an existing quoted cart
has been purchased by another buyer, the existing cart is simply 'adjusted'
and the potential buyer would need to be able to checkout on the cart 'minus'
the item(s) that went to another buyer.
Such functionality works perfect on BO, BL just hasn't figured out 'how'
to implement it after near 2 years now...

there has been a time when MSRP was 'mentioned' in the menus, I'm
glad (and many others with me) it got removed. MSRP is different in different
parts of the world and is only a guideline / valid when a set is still *actively*
running. Once it's end-of-life it becomes irrelevant what MSRP *used to be*,
so it would require active 'control' over the database and the priceguide
and even that wouldn't be accurate, as end-of-life ain't equal in all
regions at the same time... So it's falsified data that has no place whatsoever
on a selling website, such data is available on 'non commercial' websites,
quite fine IMHO.

No...
and yes...
For startes, BL allows 'individuals' to have each their account, so within
a household it is perfectly possible husband and wife (or husband and husband
or wife and wife) to have each their account, even an adult 'kid' of
both can have his/her account.
And as a matter of fact, I know several households who each have their account
and some even their own shop... There are also members who have accounts which
are registered differently, one as an individual, one as a 'company',
also perfectly possible.
It is clear these situations must be mentioned to the adminstration, to avoid
conflicts, particulary in regards to IP matching...
Now your case seems a bit different... The secondary account is in your wifes
name, but she didn't actually opened the account, you did, as you clearly
state 'I set up' and 'I created' and 'she never uses it',
so technicly it is not 'her' account, it is your account and you just
used her name (hopefully with her consent, otherwise it's theft of identity
LOL), so the purpose of that account is in conflict with the ToS. I would strongly
suggest to shut down that account (= unregister), particulary if it was only
for testing purposes when you first opened, so not much point to keep it around
anyway

of course, that's even worse than what you describe.)

As far as I know, they do stay, unless something changed in those regards since
the site upgrade, or unless one of the admins was proactive about it (while IMO
they shouldn't).

In thee case of the person who prompted this suggestion, I think that they removed
both feedbacks themselves after the problem was noted in that thread.

That is indeed the other option, but both? And *after* the merge (or was it done
before the merge)? The feedback removal system allows to choose 'feedback
I posted', but if an account was merged in the mean while, does it mean both
feedbacks are removed at the same time, or only the one as a seller (as the main
account would be the seller). I'd love to find out, but without active testing
(which would imply to create another account), it won't be easy to figure
it out

Regardless, I agree with the suggestion.

My suggestion is that when such a merge includes feedback that it becomes a negative

intentions.
P.S. My only concern is that it may be pointless as the member would just create
a different account to sell under. Thoughts?

I wouldn't go by images too much and rather stick to 'owned sets'
before making such changes. Images are made months before actual release and
setlayouts are made from 'stock' items of the designers, but that doesn't
mean there can't be a differences 'in production'
I suggest you have a look here, to stick to the timeline in regards to head versions:

And that timeline is pretty accurate when compared to actual setcontents

I agree that based on available instructions there are only 13, but considering

I would leave it like that untill a real comparison is made and it might be wise

Agreed. And maybe it should also say superseded by a new entry...

My only concern regarding the new sticker entry would be the additional note
which equates cm to stud measurement, which are two different measurements.
|
yes noticed that as well, but it's not the first time sheets are being mismeasured,
I noticed a couple of people submit in cm, in stead of stud dimensions. Why on
earth is it stud dimensipons anyway on stickersheets, you don't measure an
instruction or box either in 'studs'
But I assume it's because stickers are still considered 'parts' (sigh)
and it's the main configuration of 'parts' that sets the dimensions
to 'stud' size.

Hi Maggie,
Thanks for pointing towards it.
I cleared my browser history, logged off and in again, now it shows properly
for me (nice image btw), if others have the same error they might need to do
the same thing.
so problem solved on the image
While where at it
I have an unlisted
[p=BA06pb02]
However mine comes with stickers both sides (as there are 2 stickers on the sheet)
However the entry for the assembly does not say 'both sides' (stickers).
Another seller is also selling with stickers both sides.
Is it plausible this assembly should have stickers both sides.

Originally yes, they came undecorated with the stickers on a sheet. So they are

I would've saved myself some extra work if I had given these reasons in my
initial post:
1. There is no accountability when multiple people use the same account
to make catalog changes/additions. Is it okay for me to give my password to
a handful of trusted BrickLink members so that StormChaser may be used as a group
account for catalog contributions? How will anyone know if it's me or RobErNat
submitting something to the catalog?
|
1. Thanks for (still) considering me as a trusted BL member I feel honered
reading that from you
2.It would only amplify the issue, as RobErNat technicly *might* be accessed
by 3 people if one checkes my 'ME' page
| |
2. The person making catalog changes/additions does not get credit for
the contributions when multiple people use the same account for catalog work.
|
True
| |
3. The Admin account being used was not originally a pool account to
the best of my knowledge. It was an account/username used exclusively by a single
person (Daniel Jezek). Therefore, nearly all of the catalog contributions currently
credited to Admin were made not by a collective, but by a single person.
|
True, and a long time ago, when Admin Eric became Admin I suggested to have a
clear seperation between Admin Dan's account and Admin Eric's account,
this was not done, and next Admins just kept using the same account...
| |
4. Dan's contributions have a higher value, I would argue, than contributions
of others. They show his intentions for the site, among other reasons.
|
Agreed.
| |
5. I hope that when I die BrickLink members will have the courtesy not
to use my account to make contributions to the catalog. I feel like it would
diminish the work I did while alive. This is a nice way of saying that I feel
it's morally wrong to use the Admin account to make any catalog contributions
whatsoever.
|
Personally I wouldn't mind if one day my son (for instance) would take over
my account (and technicly he is allowed, as he's being part of the username
since many years), but I would indeed be favorable to a clear 'break'
on contributions/owner runnings between more then one accountholder. Right now,
the BL system isn't set up for that however...
This issue has been raised in the past when SimplyBricks was Inventory Admin:
Simply Bricks is being runned by 2 people: Emma, the IA and Mike, the second
person behind the SimplyBricks account with his own opinions as a pretty regular
member, always clearly identified by his signature, but also always 'tagged'
as being an IA (because the ID card said so), while he was not...
| |
I'm sure there are other reasons which I'm too tired to think of at the
moment.
|
Responsability, credebility, legacy.
Analyse everything on those words, and you'll have *all* the anwsers

Comments from Submitter:
head is totally different, I checked it with the inventory listed in the instructions.

The box shows the head that is currently listed:
Are you working with a sealed set?

According to a doublecheck on another database which pulls it's data from
TLG, the OP is right.
|
How do you know that TLG's box image is wrong but their inventory data is
right
The OP worked "with the inventory listed in the instructions". These printed
inventories have been shown to be wrong in many instances (as well as some box
images). The OP should answer Russell's question.

Read my statement again. I did not state 'I Know', I stated 'according'
(with reason)

Is that linked to the fact an original box would be listed as being 'new',
or is that linked to the fact the 'standard description' isn't explicit
enough?
Let me rephrase: Say a brand new user ends up browings here and finds
Listed used...
The seller is smart enough to state it's an EMPTY box, but what if he didn't,
do you think the potential buyer will KNOW that it's not a full set because
it's listed 'used' ?
Can we assume that the buyer would 'snatch' it because for him the price
seems reasonable for such a set?
The fact it is listed used doesn't make a difference, it's the description
that fails, and it would take BL 2 minutes to add the word empty between original
and box to solve that particular issue: original(empty)box
Luckely the seller here is smart enough to state it himself.

New does not mean perfect.

OK, so a set with broken seals ain't 'new' either? According to the
classification BL gives, such a set is still 'new', it's just no
longer sealed. So technicly, an open 'new' box *with content* is still
considered 'new', but an empty one would not be 'new', because
you took out the lego
Now I'm pretty sure every seller with a 'seals broken' set, actually
took out the LEGO to check the content, then placed it back in, so as 'used'
set then (soon 1 item is used, a whole set becomes used)
This is nitpicking and leads us nowhere IMHO, as long as there are no real issues
between buyers and sellers because of it (think I've never seen a complaint
about such on the forum and I've been around for a while now). I really don't
see the point of discussing it, as long as there aren't frequent complaints.
