  Hello...I'm thinking of buying the Orient Express Train for my Dad's
70th Birthday (with added motor parts / power up hub etc...Question: Looking
at the inventory the new tracks are similar to the old blue ones. I'm wanting
to buy extra tracks but confused where to start lol...He is currently building
Hogwarts express (with motor) but that has the City tracks different to the ones
featured in the Orient set. Any advice greatly received....Kind regards, zanneone

The regular trian tracks are the same size as the tracks in the orient express.

The only difference is the tracks in the orient express are brick built.

This is because most quotes don't result in a sale, which is a waste of the
seller's time.

66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.

I think my post was vague. I've had quotes enable in my shop since the beginning.
I even have a link in my terms to the BL help page for how to request a shipping
quote.

My own conversion rate is about 1/3, mostly because international buyers are
shocked a the shipping cost.

I found something similar.

When I was shipping internationally, most quotes were not accepted but I believe
that was mainly because (1) most domestic customers should not need to ask for
a quote as the shipping prices should have been clear from terms (or later, from
IC) so I got few domestic quote requests and (2) the high shipping prices for
lowish value international orders were nearly always rejected.

Once I stopped shipping internationally, I didn't get many quote requests
as domestic shipping was nearly always already calculated though IC so there
should not be any reason to ask for a quote. I can understand asking for a quote
when IC did not calculate shipping for larger sets or very heavy orders. But
I really don't know why some buyers were still asking for quotes when IC
would have calculated it for their prospective order. Nearly all the of the few
I received on such prospective orders did not actually lead to an order once
I entered the same postage costs as IC would have told the buyer. I can only
assume they were hoping that I would give them a lower price than what was being
shown to them through the checkout.

  Can I get help understanding what the ability is for requesting quotes?

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2437

  If a seller offers the Quote button then they presumably have to respond, but
otherwise (such as contacting them via BL messaging) there is no responsibility

A seller does not have to respond. If they do, the quote is good for 3 days.

  All too many sellers offer no clear pricing for shipping, and I'm not about
to get snookered into paying 30%+ for shipping. In addition, most sellers don't
have a Quote option. This seems quite anti-consumer.

This is because most quotes don't result in a sale, which is a waste of the
seller's time.

66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.

Of the remaining 33% that are not accepted, a good number are cancelled because
parts were purchased by someone else.

Yes and this is exactly the reason I mention in this thread why I believe stock
should be held for 24 hours during the quote period. Giving buyers confidence
in being able to secure parts without being subjected to store terms that are
easily overlooked encourages confidence in buyers to be less hesitant over placing
orders/quotes and more likely to spend more money!
Quite often if a buyer wants certain items badly enough they will just quickly
place their order before they get snapped up by someone else there is often no
further opportunity to continue browsing a store to include other items since
the order is then already placed!

I don't think it makes a difference. The ability to set your own default
settings for searches (whether on want lists or catalogue searches) has been
suggested many times before.

Hi,

Each time I have been logged out of Bricklink and I am heading to my wanted lists.
I have to manually adjust the settings I always use. From 25 per page
to 100 per page. When I change the amount per page, Bricklink always changes
the sort by from Color, Item name to Item Name. Although I want
to keep the Color, Item name as default.

Are there settings somewhere hidden in Bricklink so I can change these settings
to a default without having to do it each time?

Next Page: 5 More | 10 More | 25 More | 50 More | 100 More
