) while replying to post

I would really like to see more pics of our member’s pet. What do you think about
showing or introduce your animal companion to the BL membership here on the forum?

I suggest a new forum subtopic, under Off Topic: Pets

Anecdotes and/or pics of your pets? Maybe of interrupting your lego work or other
mischief. Or just an introduction of your nonhuman companion, new or old. What
your pet did today

Even though we don't have furry companions (son's allergies) we really
enjoy animal pics and stories. Think most do, evidenced by it's popularity
on youtube.

What do think? Think there is enough interest to warrant a sub-topic in the forum?

I think it's a great idea! I love my fur family, which has grown into 6
dogs and 1 cat, all rescues from terrible conditions. The only place off limits
is the Lego room, otherwise they rule the roost.

Awesome! Much respect Darcy, for taking-in and caring for so many rescue animals.
Placed your store on our favorites list, I like to support people such as yourself.

I've gotta know, though

How does the lone cat fare among the 6 dogs?

BTW, I really like your store's Splash page, beautiful!

I would really really really like to see a message when you try to list an item
in a colour that it wasn’t ever known to be in a set. This would cut down on
the HUGE number of mislisted incorrect colours. It would be a huge help. And
those of us that are really listing rare non-production colours would probably
be fine with clicking the “yes, I know this is crazy rare, I want to list it
“ button. The known colours info is already on the site, but many BL sellers
are obviously not looking at it.

Re: Sorting Wanted Lists Alphabetically

It would be really helpful if the site could memorize your last "sort by" setting
in every section and consider it your default, without exception.

For example, if I open a specific wanted list and sort it by item number, then
every next list I open will also be sorted by item number until I set it back
to "item name."

However, no matter how many times I open the master wanted list, i.e. my list
of wanted lists (lol), and sort it alphabetically, as soon as I refresh or revisit
the page the sorting is set back to "newest."

It would be really great if this could be... sorted out.

Thanks and sorry if this has been brought up before.

Yeah, this annoys me too. So "YES!"

It would be really helpful if the 'sales' posts in the marketplace discussion
page had a stores country flag icon next to the username. To be able to see at
a glance would save us having to click on each post to find out. Personally I
tend not to buy outside the EU because of shipping costs and taxes.

Maybe I'm not understanding completely, James, but it does in the forum "Marketplace".....

We both mean in the forum thread listings, not the forum posts. Unless you click
on thread, you don't see the actual post with the seller's country flag.

Thanks, Caleb! I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

That is seen his posted suggestion: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1095612

Now, you've lost me...it does show when I use the entire thread feature

I guess, I'm missing the point. Wouldn't be the first time

Okay, I think I understand you both. You're referring to when you land on
the forum's Marketplace landing page?

In which case, a very good and useful suggestion! Voted yes

I've thought this for a long time now; I agree and for exactly the same reasons.
It's a shame, as some U.S. sellers have great part-lists and excellent sales
- all negated by postage, import duty and P.O. charges (that are generally MUCH
higher than the actual duty).

Wayne's post and others like it, https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1150409
brings to mind an idea that briefly visited my headspace some time ago:

A type of reverse want list. That is, a way that sellers could peruse the current
want lists to specific buyer's needs, to then as a seller, proactively engage
members like Wayne with offers on items they have on their want list.

Kinda like amping-up the want list and selling process, by getting the sellers
more involved in increasing their sales by actually selling

It's just a rough draft of an idea. Limitations, restriction and other refinements
of the idea, expected.

But hey, BL shot-callers, it speaks directly to upping the sales numbers!

I'd really like to express, before I've had my cup of joe on this fine
morning, how much I appreciated the people (yes all the people) here on the forum.
After receiving emails of encouragement, critic, praise and ideas regarding this
posted suggestion, it struck home for me just how many read the forum without
participating.

There are many more eyes on your posts than you might think

Hello

Many times i search for a decorated items (xxxxPBxx for an exemple).
Exemple
I have this one :
2440pb002 / https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=2911#T=C

But it sadly never appears when we search for 2440 (what's only written on
the part)

And that's only thanks a long search on some other website that i finally
could find it on brickink.

So, is it possible to add all those sub-serial numbers to the normal search

For an exemple it could be a new COLOR category : decorated.
Or as for my exemple, it is a black part with decoration, so to put it in the
BLACK color.
Thanks a lot in advance

So basically having Goatleg.com as a feature to Bricklink
or try searching 2440*
Then it will list all 2440 items decorated or not.

nordbart

WOULD HELP A LOT in searches.

best wishes and long live your fabulous website

To narrow it down further - click Market, then click Search, then use this criteria
to find any decorated 2440 in black.

Only the ones inventoried to a set will show, but this definitely helps when
you're looking for a specific decorated item in a certain color as some of
the parts like tiles have a ton of decorated variations of all colors.

Hello

Thanks for your answers
I didnt know the * tip after a serial number.
It works great

Still, that might be helpful i think if for the 2440 (exemple), they all appear
in the color list may they be decorated or not

Nice day to everyone
