Why not get the partout system for sellers and buyers to handle it correctly,
then make the changes. As it is, anyone parting out a set with these sleeves
in needs to manually delete each sleeve from the part out, then go back and part
out any sleeves or similar.
Although from the comment above, I assume you don't know that these are already
being added as sleeves rather than as the component parts. If the sleeves are
added but not as regular parts, and the parts are still in the regular section,
then it is fine and easy to ignore. But that isn't the case.
Also parting out as a part doesn't work quite right. You have to select a
colour for the part to be able to part it out, even if you have already selected
Not Applicable as the colour on the part's page before parting out. So this
adds yet another click to the parting out a sleeve process.
Although shouldn't the colour of most of these sleeves be white rather than
not applicable? After all, they are white!

Similar to

and the plain part)
- a combination of parts that is hard to separate is alternate (as opposed
to the parts that make up the combination)
- the parts that are removed from a sprue (as opposed to the entire sprue)

packaging)
How about this alternative?

Folks, if anything is going to improve in the catalog, we need to give some freedom
and grace to our admins so they can try things out. I can understand if people
get frustrated when they find something has changed and it no longer works for
them, but please understand that we have the long-term interests of the site
in mind, and also that we can adjust and/or reverse any decision that is made.
Regarding these sleeves, we have needed to add them to the catalog for quite
a while now, because of the need to search by the number printed on the sleeve.
Strictly speaking, this is not a PCC, but it's still a number people can
use for reference. Specifically, we want to give the ability to sellers to sell
the parts in the sleeves without having to open the sleeves. The only way they
can do this is to have a reference database showing the contents of every sleeve.
Because our partout system is not yet capable of handling subparts, we're
probably not going to be able to add these sleeves to the regular section of
inventories. Maybe if we change the image and description we can do it, but right

It is truly bizarre. There is this sleeve, for example:
which contains two minifigure capes. However, this sleeve which is called "Cardboard
Sleeve for Set 70837" doesn't actually appear in set 70837 since it contains
minifigure parts, which are listed with the minifigures. So we now have an entry
for a part that is not included in any sets and so is unlikely to ever be listed
in that way.
Then we have the same where the sleeves contain a single cape, for example:
Again it doesn't belong to any sets despite the name, since it belongs to
a minifigure.
It seems to be a case of making a rule then insisting on sticking to it for all
parts and sets, no matter how stupid the application of the rule is.

| | | Is there any demand to purchase open, empty cardboard sleeves?
|
I don't think you can buy the empty sleeve because as soon as you open it,
you have the parts inside but the sleeve itself is not in the inventory of the
sleeve. Just as a sprue contains parts on it but not the sprue itself, a sleeve
does not contain the sleeve once opened. There is no listing for the sleeve only,
only a full (unopened) sleeve.
However, I guess some sellers will open the sleeves to check the parts inside
and sell them as new with "opened" in the comments. Although I imagine the parts
will sell better than the parts in the sleeve*. It would also be possible to
list the sleeve with comments saying "no parts inside, just the sleeve" if someone
really wanted to sell just the sleeve.
* This is where there might be a problem for wants lists. I imagine most people
putting a set together want the parts, not the parts in the sleeves. However,
parting the set out to a wants list (or parting out when selling) defaults to
the user wanting the parts in a sleeve and so they may well miss sellers that
have the parts that they want as they don't have them in the sleeve. It is
the problem of having multiple entries for the same part (or parts) just differing
in whether they are in some sort of useless packaging.

| Like other have stated, this is not a really good idea.
I ran into this issue last night while trying to lookup some unsorted parts.
It just adds more steps to find an item.
Is there any demand to purchase open, empty cardboard sleeves?
This gets to the whole issue of Bricklink as a commerce platform versus Bricklink
as the unofficial catalog of all things LEGO. Making the catalog side more complicated
(or less intuitive) does not help the commerce side. Perhaps the commerce side
should take precedence in these type of situations.

| This will also screw about with the price guide and wants lists, with decisions
about how to sell the part in the sleeve.
Do you sell a single part in a cardboard sleeve or do you sell it as the part?
These are two different entries with two different price guides.
It is like sets that contain a single part or minifigure - just introducing more
difficulty for users to sell / find what they want.

| Also it seems parting out sets is now broken. Will there be an option added (like
break sets in set) to break parts in sleeves / multipacks? Selecting break sets
in set does not open up the multipacks or sleeves.
Try parting out a set, and the only option seems to be to list the sleeve, not
is what is actually in the sleeve. To list the parts you now need to do that
manually.
This is a really bad decision, Bricklink! BL should make things easier for sellers
to sell parts, not make it increasingly difficult.

There is also an issue with the naming. For example:

the same name as
But what happens when more sets come along that use this sleeve? They need to
be added to the part description. Why not just call it "Cardboard Sleeve 4580966"
removing the set names?
already has five set numbers in the name, what will the limit be? If it appears
in 100 sets, will they all be named in the description?
And isn't a natural extension of this to catalogue, for example, bag 1 from
set XXXX, bag 2 from set XXXX, and so on (where these bags do not contain any
minifigure parts)? After all, that is how LEGO supplies them in a set. They are
not individual parts in a box, they are multiple parts in a defined bag in a
box. How big does a bag have to be before it is no longer a multipack? So when
a set contains a small bag of 1x1 parts in a larger bag, is that now considered
a multipack or is it the parts in a bag?
And what about instructions when they are supplied with a sticker sheet inside
a polythene bag and a piece of card? Is that a cardboard sleeve / multipack or
just the instructions and a sticker sheet?

| Wow, who thought that this is a good idea and why?
By the way - many sets came with labeled plastic bags (like "1", "2", "3", etc.)
- let's add them as well and move all parts that are in it to the bag item
instead of the set. But don't forget that there are even smaller bags in
the big bags, those need to be listed as well (inside the big bag, containing
the correct parts of course)!
Sorry, this is just ...

The part will still show up in the listings however, together with a "seller

It's not possible to differentiate.
In theory you could describe the item as for UK only and mark the item for manual
invoice and cancel orders with the item from other countries.
It would probably lead to issues, because many people don't read. You'll
get a discussion if it's a valid order.

As complete minfigs check how other in Harry Potter are named then name it similar.
Names of minfigs should be also how LEGO names them on the box or in the offcial
description of set. (It is on LEGO S&H page)
https://shop.lego.com/en-PL/product/the-rise-of-voldemort-75965
"Includes 4 minifigures: Harry Potter™ with wand and Triwizard Challenge outfit,
Lord Voldemort™ with wand, Peter Pettigrew with wand and a Death Eater™."
So there you have minfig names 
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&catString=227&itemBrand=1000&catType=M&v=1
as for weight it is not needed when submitting item to the catalog. Those things
are only needed to get things approved
number
name
image
and that is it.
Weight can be later added by users who can weight it.
Images also don;t need to be super professional
some examples
till we can see what item looks like it is ok.
there are many users who can later correct images to better one.
As for parts names just this advise just look how other similar parts are named
and adjust it to your part
Example one of your torso, look how other are named, there are some things which
are in all torsos names.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=973pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
last one as an example
and template for naming torsos
Torso [here you enter describtion what pattern is on torso] Pattern / [color]
Arms / [color] Hands

They are mostly minifigs parts, legs, torsos etc. For inventory you should add
comelete minifigures assemblies as showed in the instruction.

This baby infant should be also added as minfig
Here you have similar ones

After you add those as minifigs to the set than you can do their inventories
legs:
another new printed legs for the catalog

another new printed torsos

another new printed heads

You can add them as separate parts also (by checking how they are listed in the
catalog at above links) but inv admins will require complete minifigs for this
inventory
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=199
"Minifigures - Include whole minifigures as seen in the instructions without
any hand-held accessories. Parts included in minifigures should not be included
in the Regular Items section. Sometimes a set may contain more of the same parts
found on a minifigure in the set (for example: a set includes three helmets with
castle chin guard, but only one of them is on the minifigure). In these cases
include the whole minifigure and then include any additional parts in the Regular
Items section."

After having been on BL for a couple of years, both as a buyer and seller and
submitter to the catalog, I wanted to take up the challenge of making an inventory
for a set, and I chose set because I just bought it. At this point,
I have only submitted the sticker sheet to the catalog, and I'm stuck with
10 parts that seem to be new (their PCCs don't exist on BrickLink and I can't
find them through search). I have a few questions for the upcoming work.
1) Should I leave it to a professional to do all this work? I'm thinking
that I can't provide professional pictures of the new parts and I can't
name the remaining parts or supply weight for them.
2) If the answer to 1) is "no", could someone please help me identify the remaining
10 parts or provide me with good names for the parts so I can add them to the
catalog? What do I do with the weight of the parts? I don't have a weight
with the precision needed.

| Thanks for those replies.
I have done that but it is totally manual and long winded. That will show you
what is available but you have to search through and compare to find out what
is missing as far as I can see.
As a seller it would be good to have a report that shows what stock you have
already sold from a kit that has been parted out into your inventory.

Anyone know how to compare a parts list of a set (that I have previously parted
out) with my current inventory of parts in that set to see what parts have already
sold.
Thanks.

Oh, no need. It was no trouble.
I see it can be had for 20% off now. I will be at the store this evening and
I'll evaluate again.

When someone who owns the set decides to submit the inventory to BrickLink, it
will become available. Until that time, it will remain as not completed.
Cheers,

It is because I didn't think the plane was very cool and I didn't buy
it.

| | If you put all the items you want into a "want list" you can visit your own store
and see what parts you have that are on that want list.
At the top of the page under your "Shop," "Terms," and "Feedback" tabs you will
see "Wanted List." If you click on that you can cycle through your want lists
and see what you have.
