| I was an active seller on this site 15 years ago. I recently have began to buy
new sets and lots as my son is 4 years old and he seems to enjoy it. I like the
creator houses from the past couple of years.
Anyway, I bought a 40 lb lot from a garage sale last summer ($120). I've
been wanting to get rid of it as we just don't have the room and my son isn't
ready for the types of pieces in this lot.
I noticed is has an unusual number of DARK GREEN 1x3 bricks, maybe 100 to 150!
In the past thirty minutes or so I have discovered that this piece is quite rare
and evidently worth about $6.00 A PIECE(?)! I see it was only available in the
10133 BNSF Locomotive. It came with two.
How is it that I would have so many in this box? Obviously they did not own 50+
Locomotive sets based on the parts in the lot. I really believe I have the dark
green parts. They are not regular green, sand green, teal, or lime, and they
are certainly not a clone brick. At a glance, I have a 2x2 invert slope, 4x8
plate and a forestman style large plant piece that are the same color.
Could they have been in a LEGO Store pick-a-brick? When I have time, possibly
tomorrow I will see how many there actually are. Any thought or comments would
be appreciated.

It should be the same when sellers have a stupid rule similar to described.
If a seller wants to have a stupid rule so be it, but it should be more obvious
to the buyer when selecting quantities to purchase.

When a store has that option enabled, it will show up on that grey line next
to the green cart button. Even then, it is always best to read through a stores
terms before preparing a cart.

I know the original LEGO set (Resistance Bomber) was released in 2017, but the
re-release of the set - which included the new Finch Dallow minifig - is from
late 2018.
Or am I wrong?

If minifig dates work the same way than for parts, they are automatically set
from the (oldest) set they are from.
So, unless the new version of the set gets its own entry, the minifig’s date
will stay 2017.

| | Hello
is it possible that this brick is not listed ? i only find the 2015 2016 and
2012 Version.

I have a couple of similar bricks I can't find listed.
I'm pretty sure I read on here (can't remember if it was on the forum,
or the guidelines for part submission) that no more of this type of part would
be accepted as they are considered custom items, rather than an official LEGO
printed brick.

| It doesn't work, because not all items have the same distribution globally.
Some are prevalent in the VAT zone (closer to 20% difference with the BL priceguide),
some more outside of it (closer to no difference with the BL priceguide). Any
+% would be an estimation that will be off. Maybe not by a whole lot, but a 5
cent difference off the average can already make alot of difference in terms
of your place in the rankings and how fast the item will be sold.
It's not difficult at all, and there is no dilemma or tradeoff. The Brickstick
priceguide prices simply have to be identical to the Bricklink priceguide prices.
To do this, Brickstock simply has to access the priceguide including VAT. That
is a parameter that already exists. Either Brickstock has to perform a very simple
update, or, if this parameter is not available to them, Bricklink should make
it available in the API. It's really very simple.
I think it's very problematic doesn't even warn sellers, so they could
be underpricing without being aware of it.

It would be useless to business users if it included tax, with all the different
tax rates globally it wouldn’t work for anyone.

I know there are third party software used to upload parts to your inventory,
but think a much more powerful way to part out set should be offered by BrickLink.
Maybe a software you download to your computer, but it could also just be a massive
redesign of the existing tool online.
What I miss the most is easier ways to manage lots that already exist in my inventory.
I don't want to open a new page just to check the remarks for a certain lot,
because if I forget to open that link in a new tab I will loose all progress
made with the other lots. This information should be visible on the same page,
or I should be able to open it in a pop-up window.
When parting out huge sets with thousands of pieces, it would also be nice to
be able to save the progress and continue later. Maybe there should be one upload
button for each lot, so I don't have to go through the entire list first
and then submit all changes at once.
There are of course lots of different features that could be implemented to make
the Part Out tool even more powerful, like more advanced ways to set up automatic
prices, like 10% below average etc.

Brickstock. Best $20 I spent. Super Easy. Do I wish it did more, of course,
but it does enough to satisfy me.

Yep, Brickstock is US oriented so it works for you, not for us  Prices exclude
VAT, so it renders it useless to me. I'd rather go through the Bricklink
part out process, have it crash, throw away my progress with a misclick, and
some other frustrations than to end up with prices that are off. It sounds like
everyone has slightly different wishes about what they like to see exactly in
the update, but making the BL part out process have all the benefits of Brickstock
would probably be a great place to start. That way European sellers can benefit
from all the benefits of Brickstock as well.
