I agree wit you 100%. Last year I decided to sort used parts and
label them in 3 categories: 1) Like new 2) lightly used 3) visibly used
I also had 4th category "filler" for a while but I decided to remove it
because as you say it lowers the 6 months average.
I have to say that I got feedback from a couple buyers that they found
labeling condition of the used parts very helpful. And there was people
who were buying "fillers" also.

| Good question. The best I can think of right now is buyer feedback with a new
item:
part quality accuracy: 0 .. 5
if a seller got x ratings under the avg, someone (BL admins) WILL HAVE TO take
action quite like 3 NSS leading to close a store.
Of course, NO ONE can oversight the dishonest buyers, sometimes assumption has
to be made I guess. As human are flawed, everything made by humans for managing
humans will have to be flawed.
Maybe, constantly complaining buyers have to send proof, but even that is not
100% safe as the worst can gather trash parts, buy the same and put discredit
on a seller. As someone said: people sucks !

| | Hi,
as a buyer, I found having only two choices for parts condition is far too basic
and not useful, mostly for buyers, but also for sellers who seek accuracy and
honesty regarding their inventory.
I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean  .
It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all
the used parts, both hobbyist and professional has better use of their time I
guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.
And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".
A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.
Any thoughts ?

I agree there should be different qualities of used, although it would probably
cause more arguments than it will solve.
I tend to avoid buying any used parts unless absolutely necessary simply because
for some sellers used means any old junk. It is unfair on sellers that take pride
in their used parts and sell only the best quality. I am also probably missing
out on getting decent used parts and instead pay higher for new, but I was burned
on my first few transactions here and quickly learned not to buy used. If there
was a "like new" used condition, I'd probably buy more used.

Hello,
I know as a fact that the thick clips was produced since 1985. I have evidence
that thin light gray clips came with 7745-1 in its early production, but in later
production runs, since mid 1985 or even earlier, thick light grays clips were
used?
Do we have any evidence that thin clips appeared with early releases 6677-1?
Answer: it seems to me "No".
In the photos, you can also see a NIB 6677-1 with sealed bags coming with yellow
thick clips. We can also recognize the mini catalog from 1986:
This is why I suggest to remove the yellow thin clips from this set. If later,
somebody finds any evidence that they came with this set, they can be added again,
but I dont' think they did come with this set.

I ordered all of them from Amazon a few days ago, so I guess I'll find out.
3 of the ones I bought were listed as paperbacks, but I couldn't find any

| Randy,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! (And nice avatar, Blacktron II forever!)
That makes sense, and my only counter-point to that is that Brickset uses info
from here to list minifigures, and being a collector, it's nice to be able
to have each of the alternate figs listed in a collection. Additionally, it gives
sellers more options to sell unique minifigs as well.
Just giving my two cents.
Thanks!
-Kevin
P.S. I'm curious how those decisions are made, is there one person that decides
on all these things, or do a bunch of admins just come to an agreement? Just
wondering

Yep, they definitely look tan to me. We will either correct the inventory once
the correct part is in the catalog or mark this entry for deletion and create
a new entry.

As already explained by others, this set contains a sticker that is applied across
three other parts to create the appearance of the 1x4 brick with grille pattern.
This request will be rejected.

Just wondering if I could get the pending minifigs approved so that these are

The one I have here has the no groove red and the groove green, so I can prove the red with the pic. On the green, check the logs to confirm my reasoning, if being the same mold isn't good enough. The original inventory was made 10/11/2011. The groove piece was added to the catalog on 10/15/2011. The person who made the inventory then added the red one with groove on 10/22/11 as an alternate. He didn't add the green one with groove as an alternate making me suppose that the one(s) he had didn't have the groove, so there was no reason for him to add the green alternate. Someone else did years later, but I think elias already had the grooveless green confirmed.

Nope, a new, blank sticker sheet already has the backing. The backing is like
a sprue. LEGO doesn’t put the sticker on the backing, they print on the sticker
while it’s on the backing.
So it’s the printing that makes the new, blank sticker sheet not new anymore.
A new sticker should be pristine white (or transparent), unprinted.

I was looking to define some missing parts dimensions.
With standard bricks, it's easy, but how do we define dimensions when parts

Maybe I miss something, but I didn't find the rules there:

For example:
The size is [2 x 4 x 2] or [2 x Y x 2] ?
The size is [2 x 5 x 2] or [2 x 4 x 2] ?
The size is [2 x 6] or [2 x 4] ?
[p=bb73]
The size is [4 x 4] or [Y x Y x Y] ?
PS: I put "Y" in my examples, because I don't have the parts in front of

"Pet Peeve d'jour"
I'm sure you're not peeved daily, Lisa
We're talking about adopting a dog, as my son has out grown his allergy.
If we do, what do you think about naming our new pet, Peeve?
But seriously, it makes sense what you're proposing
|
Oh, my gosh. Get a lab! I had German Shepherds for over 30 years, and we finally
let my son, Daniel, have a choice. He wanted a lab, so we found someone with
lab puppies and he chose a yellow one and named him Archer. He has been with
us almost 4 years and he is the happiest dog I know! I take him to the dog park
almost daily (it is very close to the post office!) and I love to watch him play
with other dogs, or just to play with me: he loves tennis ball, frisbee, tug
toys, etc. A really good, friendly family dog! (and doesn't have the double
coat shedding that the German Shepherds have!)

| I have a few stickered parts, acquired second-hand, from sets 60009-1, 75872-1
and 75051-1. I'd like to be able to inventory them properly in my collection,
but all or most of the stickered part catalog entries for these sets have not
been created yet on BrickLink. I could submit catalog additions for all of them,
but I'm a bit hesitant since I've never done that before on BrickLink,
and I don't have all the stickered parts for each set. Are there any of
you guys out there who have one or more of these sets and could submit the stickered
parts? It would be a great help. (Otherwise I'll get around eventually
to figuring out how to do it myself.)

Since we are talking about stickers, I see incomplete sticker sheets listed as
"new" as well on occasion.
Since there isn't an "incomplete" option, they should be considered "used"
IMHO.

How would I list an element like this if you disabled new? Totally agree on
the applied aspect but a generic limitation may not be the way.

box and you have magically transported the contents out of the box without opening
it, then I would make an exception and it can be listed as 'new'.
|
Or you if you get them directly from LEGO (or their supplier) before they are
filled.
Unless in that case you call them “pre-new” or “not-even-new-yet”
|
If someone actually got unused boxes from lego that is the only case where they
are actually new since they were not used for their intended purpose.

"Pet Peeve d'jour"
I'm sure you're not peeved daily, Lisa
We're talking about adopting a dog, as my son has out grown his allergy.
If we do, what do you think about naming our new pet, Peeve?
But seriously, it makes sense what you're proposing
|
Oh, my gosh. Get a lab! I had German Shepherds for over 30 years, and we finally
let my son, Daniel, have a choice. He wanted a lab, so we found someone with
lab puppies and he chose a yellow one and named him Archer. He has been with
us almost 4 years and he is the happiest dog I know! I take him to the dog park
almost daily (it is very close to the post office!) and I love to watch him play
with other dogs, or just to play with me: he loves tennis ball, frisbee, tug
toys, etc. A really good, friendly family dog! (and doesn't have the double
coat shedding that the German Shepherds have!)
|
Dogs ARE the best, especially labs
My son, daughter & I like all dogs! But we did grow to LOVE a certain Dachshund
that was in our care while the owners were out of country. Hung with us on all
of our back country hikes in Utah, if you can believe that. So, any dog that
needs a home, but if we stumble upon a Dachshund, well you know...

So you are trying to replace the figure in the inventory with black hair with
a figure that has brown hair?
The correct way to do that would be to ask for a change in the inventory from
one figure to another. The request you are asking for here would add the same
exact figure to the inventory that is already in the inventory. Therefore, this
request does not solve the problem and will be rejected.
However, you have brought up an issue that needs looking into.
According to the packaging and set instructions, the figure should have brown
hair. When I look through the BrickLink catalog, I do not see a figure like this
with brown hair, only black hair. So that is question number one: Is there a
figure like this that actually exists with brown hair? If there is (and your
request as well as the instructions and packaging suggests so), then we hit the
next step: The figure with brown hair would need to be added to the BrickLink
catalog because it does not currently exist in the catalog. After that, we would
finally reach the question that concerns the set inventory: Which figure came
in this set originally? The one with black hair, the one with brown hair, or
one of them sometimes and the other one sometimes?
I don't know if I will be able to find enough information to answer and solve
all of these issues, but I will try.

| I'm 100% in agreement with you that a piece with a sticker on it is considered
used. But for example, say I have a sheet of stickers from a set that are unused
and I cut out each individually and sell the brand new piece with its unused
sticker along with it? It's similar to the Special Assemblies where they
are separated from the complete set and require their stickers to be cut from
the original sheet. I feel that the New option should still exist, but only used
for that specific case (as rare as it may be).

Thank you for your reply. I have never seen this figure with black hair. So either
there is 2 versions of this minifig - or there never was a minifig
with black hair.

highlight, prioritise, or otherwise indicate stores for which I already have
an open cart.
Ideally I'd like stores with open carts to be at the top of the list, with
an 'add to cart' button with a quantity entry box, to just add the item,

So not only the diffrence is in part 3665 which is four insetad of two but then
your copy is also missing 2 of
So this case need different approach to changes here.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
Redesigned Sets - Sometimes a set is redesigned during production. To be considered
a redesign the changes to the set must be reflected in the instructions and involve
a change in quantity or color for at least one part in the Regular Items section.
If the redesign is significant, the set is given two entries in the BrickLink
catalog. However, if the redesign involves only a few parts in the Regular Items
section, the changes are indicated in that section and this one with match ID
number 99. The earliest version of a set is always included in the Regular Items
section.
4x4665 then should be in alternates section with match ID 99 with 2665 and 3666
Can you please send a scan ot good photographs of whole instruction to our mail:
inv@BrickLink.com becose there could be other changes in this set as what I see
on photo you provided fot his step in building it also misisng
and has only one
not two.

That simply looks like a print fidelity difference. This happens with many parts.
The printing can change as the equipment wears down, the printing can change
as advances are made in printing technology, the printing can change with part
alignment during the printing process, etc.
In other words, looks like the same minifig to me.

This argument has come up time and time again on BrickLink. The information in
the BrickLink inventories is meant to be used as a guide and is not guaranteed
to be correct. In fact, there is a disclaimer at the bottom of every inventory
page:
"Disclaimer: BrickLink does not guarantee an inventory to be correct and
therefore an inventory should be only used as a guide."
It is up to each seller when parting out a set using the provided BrickLink inventories
to ensure that their store inventories are correct. In other words, the argument
you are putting forth for the Extra Items section in a BrickLink inventory can
just as easily apply to all of the other sections of said inventory. What if
the Regular Items section of the BrickLink inventory contains errors? Do you
just blindly accept that it is completely right when parting out the set or do
you actually check your stock?
As you can see by the number of Inventory Change Requests that come through the
forums, there are always errors in BrickLink inventories being fixed. If sellers
are not careful when using the BrickLink inventories, then *any* errors in them
get passed on to their store inventories, whether it be parts in the wrong color,
part shortages, part overages, wrong part variants, etc. So you can see that
the same exact logic applies to every section of the BrickLink inventories including
the Extra Items section.
| | How do I/can I challenge the original accepted inventory entry? Again, based
on these pieces, I've NEVER come across these specific parts as extras in
any other Lego sets...
|
What exactly do you want to challenge? The pieces were found as extras in some
sets and not in others. Therefore, they meet the BrickLink definition of an Extra
Item as far as the BrickLink inventories are concerned and they will not be removed.
You may also want to look at the history of the parts you are discussing to see
what has occurred with them in the past.
has appeared as an extra in 41 sets to date. I have personally confirmed quite
a few of those sets from sealed set contents, so I have seen them as extra parts
a number of times.
has appeared as an extra in 30 sets to date. I have not personally confirmed
any of those sets, but I do trust the members that added those parts as extras
(which just so happen to include our other current Inventory Admin as well as
admin Russell at BrickLink headquarters).
| | Anyone else out these experience this error?
|
As stated above, these extras are not errors in the BrickLink inventory. They
are just the data as is. You were just one of the unlucky ones to not get more
extra pieces in your set.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Randy

| Quite unfortunate, as this creates far more headaches for sellers parting it
out, creating potential inventory shortages. Perhaps there is another way to
document the extra pieces being present in some (perhaps a small quantity) of
this set? There must be a better way to document this, especially if unknown
quantities of these released sets exist.
How do I/can I challenge the original accepted inventory entry? Again, based
on these pieces, I've NEVER come across these specific parts as extras in
any other Lego sets...
Anyone else out these experience this error?

I have now had tree sets where this plate were "bright green". When I google
I can find pictures of more sets like mine.
Thanks

To make changes like this, I need to have convincing evidence, since the inventories
were originally submitted to BrickLink by a prior Inventory Administrator.
Were all of your sets purchased new by you or used? If they were new, did
you build the sets yourself and have the pieces of them always remained separate
from other sets?
Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
This minifig has brown (not black) hair in all the sets of 5895 I have seen.

So you are trying to replace the figure in the inventory with black hair with
a figure that has brown hair?
The correct way to do that would be to ask for a change in the inventory from
one figure to another. The request you are asking for here would add the same
exact figure to the inventory that is already in the inventory. Therefore, this
request does not solve the problem and will be rejected.
However, you have brought up an issue that needs looking into.
According to the packaging and set instructions, the figure should have brown
hair. When I look through the BrickLink catalog, I do not see a figure like this
with brown hair, only black hair. So that is question number one: Is there a
figure like this that actually exists with brown hair? If there is (and your
request as well as the instructions and packaging suggests so), then we hit the
next step: The figure with brown hair would need to be added to the BrickLink
catalog because it does not currently exist in the catalog. After that, we would
finally reach the question that concerns the set inventory: Which figure came
in this set originally? The one with black hair, the one with brown hair, or
one of them sometimes and the other one sometimes?
I don't know if I will be able to find enough information to answer and solve
all of these issues, but I will try.
Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
On the picture of the set, the bad Guy is on the motor, wearing a back-pack. The back-pack isn’t in the inventory
|
As Fred already states in a prior message, part
in Dark Tan is already included in
[m=cty203]
which is in the inventory.
You can verify this by clicking on the "Break Minifigs" hyperlink near the top
of the inventory page to see all of the minifig parts listed with the rest of
the parts of the inventory.
Since the set inventory is correct concerning this part, this request will
be rejected.

As Stefaan already states in a prior message, part
is already listed as an alternate item in the set inventory.
However, I cannot find any sealed set or used set photos that actually show part

as coming with the set. I wonder if that is a legacy mistake.
For now, the inventory will be left as is, so this request will be rejected.
