  Hi --

This thread was the catalyst for this suggestion:

https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=277741

I'd like to see a help page added that notes that not all Lego parts will
have the Lego logo on them. Sellers could then, if they wish, link to this page
from their terms.

Thanks!

I'm ambivalent about this. There is in business a certain minimum standard
of knowledge which applies in a transaction. Thus we can be reasonably sure that
if a consumer buys vanilla ice cream, this might refer to ice cream flavoured
with a by product of paper manufacturing, an ooze from an animal's castor
sack, a toxic extract from a bean, or real grade A, B or C pods or any combination
of any of these ingredients. If the consumer cares then the consumer must ask
what is in here. If the consumer does not care, he does ask. Simple.

On the other hand, the site is gearing itself for one-off buyers viz expee. So
probably to these users who might not have any standard of knowledge at all,
it might be useful to explain this sad reality. Provided of course users can
actually find the help page.

Probably we will all be heading to the point where we have to put a million warnings
with every listing - take a look at some German stores if you want to see what
that looks like.

  Hi, I searched but found no explanation, I’m afraid I might not be using the
right words.

When I search using a part-number from the inventory (in the back of a lego instruction
booklet) bricklink gives me the right part in the right colour. So bricklink
knows those numbers. But on that page, where is that same number? For example:
if I select a specific in a specific colour, where (on the bricklink page for
that brick&colour) can I find the number that would be used in an inventory (as
it would appear in the back of an instruction book)?

Click on the "color images" link for any part and then scroll down to the list
of Part Color Codes.

  I understand the desire to eliminate the incomplete minifigures from the listings.
But is there any chance that actual "minifigure" listings could come without
all the accessories?

For example sw0824 has 3 actual minifigure parts, and a 14 piece backpack. Wouldn't
the acutal minifigure end at the 3 actual minifigure parts, and not include the
random bricks?

Then you would need subsets or counterparts for minifigures in set inventories.
Which conceivably might be a good idea, but it will not happen since that would
probably require the ever elusive resources.

The case of
 
Minifig No: mba002  Name: MBA Level Two Minifigure
* 
mba002 (Inv) MBA Level Two Minifigure
Minifigures: Master Builder Academy
springs to mind - the minifgure (head, torso and legs
assemblies) used in three sets with three different sets of headgear but only
one minifigure assembly with the headgear in the first set is recognised in the
catalogue. Presumably there is a market for the other two sets' minifigures
included in the instructions for those sets, but until such time as these can
reasonably be accommodated in set inventories as alternate minifigures or counterparts,
it is doubtful that such a market can be explored by sellers as a reasonable
alternative.

Sorry I just can't get my brain going enough to understand fully, Milissa.
Kinda feels like a Zen riddle at this point for me

I get that it's the Orders Received Page, but...

~On the right of each line & on the bottom of each line, or on the right-bottom?

~To the right of which "My Notes" notes on the order, or notes on the user?

popsicle

To the right of My notes of the order

Thank you Yes, and can I as a buyer have the tracking number on my own orders
screen as well please? Same place obviously.
