Which preset am I supposed to select when submitting a change request for instructions?

I assumed it was just the Catalog one.
However when submitting it tells me; "Item No to Change does not exist in
Catalog."
I am copy/pasting them Item No from the existing entry.

I've tried changing to Book rather than Catalog as well as attempting to
change the Item No by removing both the -1 and "Instructions Entry" Text.
I did not expect these to work and indeed they did not.

Looking at the Catalog Add or Change menu, there is an option for instructions
under Add Image but not under Change Item.

I just wanted to submit weight and dimensions for an instruction manual.
Perhaps I am missing something. But the guide just leads to the same Change Item
form, which is where I started.

Hello,

The Bricklink administration removed one of my selling listings. The reason was
that the parts were listed in a non existent color.
The part was actually a genuine lego part, listed in the correct color. Only
was it never released in an official set, so it does not show up in the color
guide in any set. Is it no longer allowed to list such parts? As far as i know
this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.

Please tell us which part it was that was removed. It could have been a mistake,
but it could have also been an unwritten rule that we have had to enforce because
of the problem of fake parts. Unfortunately we do not have a log of deletions.

I wonder what would that proof could look like....
An invoice from PAB with a line 'prototype part'?

Can someone give an actual example of proof of purchase that would be accepted
by BL?

If bought from online PAB, then the paper invoice they send has all parts listed.
If instore PAB, maybe a photo of the PAB tower, although the majority of parts
I have ever seen on a PAB wall have already been common parts. Whereas online
PAB has had parts that were not (yet) released in the past.

It is more likely that they would be from one of the German warehouse type stores
or LEGOLAND builder stock than from PAB.

Now we currently have for the same range

This is an error.

The error there is yours. You shouldn't be searching "3068bp*".
If you go look, nothing is named that. They just put the old numbers in as
alternates so people who were unaware of the change will be able to find things
labelled with the old numbers. You are aware of the change and should only be
searching "3068p*".

If 3068b doesn't exist anymore ALL the 3068bp should change to 3068p

They did. You are finding the same pieces in both searches, except the "bp"
search will omit new ones going forward and also the peeron, LDraw, and I guess
Star Wars ones.

But old tiles are under 3068bp.

Only in their alternate numbers.

Do you understand now?

Yes

The search is fine, it is searching alternate numbers. So those 3068p- that have
a 3068bp- alternate number will be returned on a search for 3068bp*

This works only for OLD tiles.

So if you look for the 3068bp* in your inventory, only some will spawn.
This is wrong.

We have now 3068 for the regular current tile with groove and 3068a for the old
tile without groove.

Thus printed tiles with groove are now 3068p*

Hope that helps?

But there are many tile printed in 3068bp*

I don't see any. Can you give an example?

So either all are moved to 3068p* or not.
This is inconsistent.

You are right.

The problem is not the result, but the research.

3068bp* finds SOME result of the 3068p* but not ALL THE results.

Instead, it should return nothing.

The search is broken, not the inventory

The old item numbers 3068bpXXXX were put as Alternate IDs in the corresponding
parts to help locate them for users who don't know about the changes.

Hello,

probably I'm not the first person to point this out but there are a lot of
2x2 printed tiles listed in the wrong way.

I suppose the part code is 3068b, so all the printed tiles should be 3068bp*,
but many are 3068pb*

Like : https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3068pb2361&in=S

I believe that this is an error.

Can you confirm me?

Because when searching 3068bp*, as it should, many do not appear.

3068apb are old, old ones without groove.

3068p are printed ones that were described by LDraw before Bricklink was created.
Dan used their designations to harmonize and gave them credit.

3068px are printed ones that were described by Peeron before Bricklink was created.
Dan used their designations to harmonize and gave them credit.

3068pb are printed ones that were described on Bricklink after creation.

What about ps?

If you have proof of purchase before listing again I would recommend contacting
the Help Desk.

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1465103

I wonder what would that proof could look like....
An invoice from PAB with a line 'prototype part'?

Can someone give an actual example of proof of purchase that would be accepted

A rhetorical question more than anything but I'd love if someone entertained
me with an answer still. This is the same as discovering that something that
you bought at a grocery store has mold in it, but the store refusing a refund
because you did not save the receipt.

If such an imaginary proof existed even theoretically - fine. But otherwise -
owners of legitimate parts are getting slapped in the face once for having their
listing removed, and then getting laughed in their faces by 'show me a receipt
from 30 years ago, then we will allow you to list the item".

If 3068b doesn't exist anymore ALL the 3068bp should change to 3068p

So, actually the inventory is inconsistent because new tiles are under the 3068p
following the new rule that 3068b doesn't exist anymore.

But old tiles are under 3068bp.
