All I suggest is that since the data parameter is already in the database, Why
not allow us to search using it? If it's off a bit who cares? It's
still better than nothing.

If the item is big enough for it's weight to be unique, I would think that
typically the element ID is molded somewhere on there large enough to see and
read without too much effort and type in to easily find with the search bar.

With a 1/100th-gram scale, lego pieces have very unique weights. Sure a dozen
pieces might have the same weight but it's easy to spot the one your holding
in your hand by looking at the results. I've weighed many bricks and have
not seen variations based on color. Some of the really old bricks vary from mold
to mold. But I don't get to many of those anyways. Usually, a single brick
type will only vary a few hundredths of a gram.

I've seen some variations on a decent scale if you take say 10 different
coloured 2x4 bricks. But then there is a similar variation if you weigh 10 of
the same colour ones. This is the problem when it is said that different colours
have different weights.

If you weigh 1 red brick and 1 blue brick, they might weigh a slightly different
amount, lets say red was heavier. That wouldn't mean all red bricks weigh
more than all blue bricks, for example. Just that the red one was taken from
the heavier end of the weight distribution and the blue from the lighter end.

So if you weigh 1000 red bricks and 1000 blue bricks, the difference between
the piles would not be 1000x(random red one - random blue one).

Yeah, but everyone entering the weights might not have the same scale calibration
so you could throw a part on the scale and type the weight into the search, and
it might not come up in the results if your scale's single weight comes back
as different than someone weighing 100 and dividing.

There are definitely variations based on color. Especially between parts made
in ABS and those made in PC using the same mold.

type will only vary a few hundredths of a gram.

  Your conclusion that it is 'a time-crunching labour-of-love process of comparing
part quantities currently for sales vs. sold in the last 6 months' is probably
right. Items sold versus available is a much more reliable source of information
than the wanted lists which are mostly shielded for privacy.

Also just because a part sells in large numbers doesn't mean it is necessarily
a good part to stock. It depends what the buy-in vs sale price is.


And even the current stock to items sold ratio might not be so good to look at,
take a fictitious example:

Part A: 0 currently on BL, 10 sold in 6 months.

Part B: 100000 on BL, 20000 sold in 6 months.

A would be ranked highly as currently understocked (they all sold!) whereas for
B there is currently 5x 6 months stock unsold so quite overstocked. But would
you buy into part B, when the sales are actually low?

There would be so many of these to sort through, unless you could set other parameters
such as minimum numbers sold and so on. Even better if you can restrict it to
specific regions too.

  Hello everyone!

I'm a long-term buyer on Bricklink, but have recently started to sell here
as well, and I've been looking through all of the various areas of data in
the site (which has been an amazing process), and I haven't been able to
find anything that shows the most commonly sought-after parts -- either by
direct request, or by inclusion on member "wanted lists".

Is there an area or process that is already programmed for the calculation and
display of the most wanted parts by the members?

Or is this a time-crunching labour-of-love process of comparing part quantities

Just want to make sure that I'm stocking what people really want to get their

Thanks for any info you can offer!

I think a Friends set had a bag of four lipsticks (when only one was needed)
inside a bag of other small parts (in one of those holey type bags), inside a
normal bag.

For various reasons the information about what is on people's wanted lists
is not freely accessible. The only information I have come across is the catalog
pages that say 'on how many wanted lists' a part-color combination occurs.

As a buyer I would not want that my action of putting item on my wanted list
would be of influence on the prices.

Whether the information 'on how many wanted lists' an item is, is reliable,
I have doubts about. For me, most of the time what is on my wanted lists does
not correspond to what I intend to buy. It either represents the preparation
of a shopping list or a notebook to remember that someday I might want to buy
these items. I might put an item on my wanted list in many non-existent or rare
colors just to see whether they become more readily available later on.

The idea is nice to have such an intelligent scale, but this is not feasible.
The weights of parts vary not only per mold variation, but also per color. And
for each weight (plus or minus a few percent) you would find thousands of parts.

However, there is something to say for the idea of using weight to discriminate
between parts:

During production of sets, TLC does use weighing to identify sets that may have
the improper number of parts in it. These are tossed out and supposedly checked
and corrected manually.
For bigger sets, LEGO carefully composes the contents of each of the numbered
bags, to minimize the number of possible mistakes and to maximize the efficiency
of the weighing test. Big and small parts are kept separate, small parts are
mixed with small parts so the relative accuracy is greater, but rarely with the
same part in another color. That is one of the reasons you may find a bag of
mixed small parts in a bag of bigger parts.
(Has anyone seen a bag in a bag in a bag? I can't remember having seen these)
Other reasons of this separation may be to be prevent damage, to distribute the
work load over multiple counting machines, to prevent tiles being caught up in
2x-bricks and so on.

As german seller in order to follow german law I want to be able to customize
the button displayed on the final checkout page (currently "Place Order") so
that it can be localized as needed by the shop owner.

Some background for emphasize the need (german only though sorry!): https://www.haendlerbund.de/de/downloads/whitepaper-button-loesung.pdf

This setting should be implemented in an optional way (when not defined default
BL text will be displayed). Furthermore a checkbox for displaying it to domestic
buyers only might be helpful.

To any other (german) seller: Please add to this idea / feature request so that
we can use BL again

sincerely

Hi there - very strange

We add the tracking url to our drive through messages and it works fine.

This is the URL that we use, replacing the [TRACKING NUMBVER] field with the
Post Office tracking number.

http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/track?trackNumber=[TRACKING NUMBER]

That already looks better than mine.

But wouldn’t it be more nicer to mention the tracking number only in the drive
through message, and this tracking number is a hyperlink, on which the buyer
can click to get routed to the courier’s statuspage?

That above URL is pasted into our drive-thru messages with the appropriate number
in it (replacing the word tracking number) and over 5000 orders later we have
never had a problem other than they click on the link and the post office haven't
updated the information yet but that always goes away after a day or so.

Go to your postal service or courier web site and I am sure in their support
section they will have a list of the URL's to use with examples. That is
what we did

We still agree with you about smartening up the message capabilities so it can
be more of a marketing tool but at least you should be able to do this without
any problems.

I guess that’ll be the most easiest solution for the time being. I’ll look into
the default message section and add some standardized URL’s with the tracking
number then added by the system.

Thanks anyway for your input!

http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/track?trackNumber=[TRACKING NUMBER]

That already looks better than mine.

But wouldn’t it be more nicer to mention the tracking number only in the drive
through message, and this tracking number is a hyperlink, on which the buyer
can click to get routed to the courier’s statuspage?

Is it a possibility there's some kind of HTML options added to the shipment
message with which we -the sellers- are able to create good looking messages?

If something like this already exists or if there are any other options I might
have overlooked, please do inform so.

Hi there - very strange

We add the tracking url to our drive through messages and it works fine.

Hello!

I mainly take payments by three different methods, PayPal, Stripe and IBAN.

I want to be able to accept any currency possible through Stripe, accept only
Euros and USD on paypal and only euros by IBAN. Currently you need to make a
note for all the payment methods, or only acccept some currencies.

For example, for IBAN, I'm sure that no one would pay in any other currency
than Euros, but I wish I would be able to tell buyers that they can pay in any
currency through Stripe, but not paypal. If I allowed all currencies, I'm
sure that a lot of buyers would mistakenly pay by paypal in other currencies,
even if I specified it in the notes. There is no way to really, automatically,
enforce that.

Thanks.
