  Would seem to be harsh on new users that may need genuine help. Especially considering
the delays with the help desk just now.

Considered that and why focusing on link restriction only. Don't think new
users need to post links to get the help needed

Circling back to: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=145974

Seems to me anyway, that simply restricting zero feedback members the use of
links in the forum, would immediately eliminate most current spam posts and deter
future ones. Haven’t been looking that close at these posts, but from what I’ve
seen, it’s presenting links they have as a common purpose or motivation. Removing
motivation is often a subtle yet effective tack in life.

Could be that it’s not all that simple, technically to implement. I don’t know,
but if doable, why not? Personally don't find the spam posts all that bothersome.
Many do though, and if there's an easy fix to tidy things up a bit...

  Not to mention that stores on BL can not have more than one physical location
from which they ship from.

That is for regular people and companies. I'm sure they could find a way
round if they wanted to do it. Such as having three different LEGO BL stores,
one for standard parts, one for bestsellers Europe and one for bestsellers North
America, or however many locations they ship from.

But it would still go back on what they said originally, and I think would damage
new parts sales from regular sellers who would then shift their stores completely
to brickowl. Moving both used and new parts sellers, moving customers and losing
BL fees.

We don't know how lucrative PaB is, but I am sure it isn't just for the
benefit of lego enthusiasts. If TLG were to capture more actual sales then just
fees, I am sure they would be making more money then just fees alone. So if a
brick only costs a few cents to manufacture and they can capture the same profit
as PaB that will be more than 3-2% of what a part sells for on here.

Example:
PaB part cost to manufacture, 5 cents, sells for 10 cents that is 5 cent profit.
Where a seller sells that part at 10 cents TLG makes 2 cents (from a major seller).

Sure you can say but TLG has overhead, where? They are already manufacturing,
storing, sorting for sets and PaB so no additional overhead.

TLG has a global foot print, way more than any seller has on here along with
better shipping rate options.

Sure they could try to capture more of the market for inividual new parts, but
at what long term cost? They cannot keep up with PAB standard as it is. PAB best
seller is OK for speed but that s relatively small inventory.

If they aim to kill small businesses selling on bricklink then there is little
point in owning bricklink. Longer term,it would be worse for sellers and buyers.

I'm not a lawyer, but would it be considered unfair competition if PaB was
added into BrickLink?

I think LEGO has more opportunities promoting BrickLink longer term for both
New and Used pieces. I've had problems in orders from PaB which weren't
ideal for me, but from the LEGO perspective this is additional cost they have
to manage.

For Used pieces, promoting their support for BrickLink helps in environmental
sustainability through recycling of used bricks.

Why is LEGO's PaB website not included among the stores on BL?

(I tried to search for this suggestion in the Forum but didn't find anything)

Anyone have the data on what percentage of parts/colors/patterns available on
BrickLink is on the current PAB menu?

They now have 15087 lots for sale, but only 14694 in stock. Bestsellers in stock
are 4180 lots.

  
Also, I think the prices would become much higher if LEGO had to pay enough people
to ship every order as quickly and accurately as a good BL shop does.

In my experience, it's rare that PaB is actually cheaper - if it were I'd
definitely be buying parts there and selling them here.

Because that would directly impact their own sales. Myself and many others focus
solely on new sets and new set part outs, buying multiple copies of high dollar
sets. How many $200, $400, $600+ sets do regular consumers (or BL buyers without
a store) buy per year, and how many do small rinky dink stores like me - or
extremely large stores not like me - buy per month? I'd argue that an enthusiastic
3PS is worth a minimum - minimum - of 40 run of the mill consumers.


  Also, third-party stores would still be indispensable, because there are so many
parts that are unavailable from the PaB website.

Indispensable and profitable are two different things. Plus how many people
place an order for 50 lots of discontinued parts? Think of at least five of
unavailable parts you're trying to find and go look at the sales history
of it. At best it's current for sale average is probably a couple of bucks
and at least three of those probably have an outlier that's ~50% below the
average. From the sounds of it, you're going to buy from the cheapest store,
and they made "a coupl'a bucks". That's not running a business,
that's running a charity without the benefits of 501c status.

When taking over bricklink, LEGO claimed they wouldn't interfere with the
marketplace, implying they wouldn't compete with sellers. If they want to
compete with sellers, then many sellers will leave and move to the independent
marketplace.

They would also need to behave like other BL sellers. I'd leave them negative
feedback unless they improved their order turn around times.

Lego owns Bricklink, and Bricklink is strictly third-party sellers; the site
would die and Lego would lose money on their investment & whatnot

If you want to source parts from PAB and Bricklink, use BrickHunter, a Chrome
extension that lets you upload a wanted list & auto-selects parts from PAB and
shows what you would need to get from Bricklink if parts are unavailable or retired

Yes, BH is amazing, and I often use it. But it adds another layer of complexity
and another step in the process.

Ever order from PAB? Enjoy your bricks 2-3 months later.

For standard bricks but yah it’s crazy.

since bricklink is specifically for 3rd party sellers, not lego themselves. if
lego came over to bricklink and started ramping up then most stores on bricklink
would have to close down as they cant compete with lego if they are on the same
site which would then just end up making bricklink a reskinned PAB.

  Why would LEGO care whether any third-party stores (i.e. competitors of LEGO's
PaB website) close down?

since they make up a good chunk of Lego's revenue. 3rd party sellers buy
from lego and then do lots of work which if lego themselves did and paid employees
minimum wage they probably couldn't make it profitable so with the current
setup all parties involved benefit. Also it seems lego is pursuing this route
as there have been surveys from lego and bricklink trying to improve the lego-reseller
connection.

  Also, third-party stores would still be indispensable, because there are so many
parts that are unavailable from the PaB website.

To a point but if lego started selling lots on bricklink then a good chunk of
sales would move to them and then the stores that could offer said parts would
have most of their stock not moving since lego takes that and then they probably
wouldn't bother with selling the few parts that lego doesn't sell as
sales would be significantly lower and make it not profitable for many

pardon my ignorance (I'm an AFOL newbie), but could you explain this a little?
what work?

Listing and pulling orders is usually extremely work intensive in comparison
to profit.

  I have seen a lot of sellers offer multiple different discounts. It would be
nice to have a filter that you can choose the discounts you want to see instead
of just all sales. Like if a shop has different sale percentages at 10, 25, 30,
50 and 75 percent off you could filter for everything above 50%.

This is a comparison to a created number. There are no sales on bricklink.
Just different prices.

  I've definitely had buyers leave feedback before they even received their
orders - rare, but it happens.

Yes but this example just illustrates someone not using the system properly and
I'm pretty sure we don't require a system built around a one off user
not using the system correctly?

A system shouldn’t allow its users to use it incorrectly.
(That includes sellers marking orders complete )

And your point? Removing the Completed option would solve this issue at the same
time?
Besides which as a Seller I have never marked an order as Complete! Once I mark
the order status as 'Shipped' I then leave the customer alone to change
the status from there on in

  “You’re holding wrong” is a registred trademark.  BrickLink is too cheap to use
it.

  I can imagine the feedback they left was interesting....

"Great Seller, Order is on its way and it will arrive in good time and be
absolutely perfect!"

Have you read the feedback left on other plateforms?  It’s sometimes worse than
that.
