| Hello,
New uses, sorry if this has already been suggested and/or is available and I
can't figure it out, but I'm wondering if you can sort by county of seller?

It's still a work in progress I think and it will be released at some point
when Bricklink feels like it.
But until they will add payment methods other than PayPal it's just a gimmic
to me, I am opting out for it and so are some other sellers. Of the remaining
sellers, only a small portion has Instant Checkout, so there is no real reason
using the Bricklink app if you get 10x as many results using a computer. To me
that's easily worth navigating a non mobile friendly Bricklink for.
So I guess the answer is, nope, "proper" Bricklink is not going to be mobile
friendly.

This is a great idea! I personally use my phone for shopping and that would make
it much easier for me!

|
| Some pages use page titles specified, some don't (for instance wanted lists).
I wish we could get better pagetitles (in the tags) programmed. If i
open up multiple tabs of bricklink pages (multiple wanted lists or sets, parts
etc) they all look alike and i have no idea which is which because the site does
not use page titles.
Instead of:
Bricklink - Search your wanted list
I would like to see:
SC Scale Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Wanted list - Bricklink
Pushing the sitename to the end of the page title would already be a helping
factor but you could make better titles.
This would also help the sites SEO, but it's just easier to work with and
use multiple tabs.
my 2 cents/wish.
Thanks for listening

| 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).

My point is that it would be a simple and useful search criteria.

But do the people entering the weights into the database have a 1/100th gram
scale?
|
|
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.

| | Firstly love the site.
Been a buyer for a few years now.
And I'm starting to use wanted lists.
And while I'm gooding through a store for a particular part, I'll come
across and item listed in one of my Wanted lists.
If I'm at a large store their maybe a few.
It would be nice to have an option / filter to just list parts in your wanted
list(s).
You may decide to get more parts from that sttore than intended.
