I know there are quite a few members in this area, today it would have been really
handy as I needed a set in a hurry, the seller I chose just went out of town
after I placed the order, so my urgent is now at least 5days out!!

Yes, this would be incredibly handy if I knew to filter other sellers in mid/east
sussex then I could go and pick up my parts the same day.
Although, to be fair, the postage is probably a lot cheaper than the train fares

| I think this would be fairly easy to implement, with many benefits.
Please add to location at the top of store landing page (where the flags are)
Either or both. Town/City and/or post/zip code.
It would be nice to know where - in (my case) England - you are, and you me!
For example if it was urgent and you knew I was in Worthing, you being in Brighton
(15miles) - you could likely get parts the same day.
Or if it was a set it would save on shipping
I can't see any reason why not - PLEASE consider
Thank You

I *KNOW* for a fact that the modelmakers at LLW (that's Legoland Windsor to the
uninitiated) sometimes have surplus stock that they then have put into the PAB
walls.
Also, on the two occasions I have been to Billund Legoland, there has been stuff
in their walls and dotted around the shop which are previously unreleased items
and some which have only been released small scale in Denmark.
Those places are not 'leaky' as you like to refer to it, but if you're there
at the right time you can pick up some unique bits.
For most AFOLs clone brands are those which are trying to take market share of
the construction toy industry from LEGO.
Custom parts are those which are manufactured on a smaller scale enterprise and
made to be used WITH Lego to enhance collections and playability.
Simples.

there is no PAB "wall" !

I (and others) would like to see a true (house) brick red colored 1 x 2 brick

Whether or not someone "likes" the item or not.
I'm pretty sure if you ask makers of sports cards what the "primary purpose"

It's not whether the person buying or selling thinks the item will be "used with
LEGO or to supplement a Lego collection" - it's whether or not the individual
or company making the item has that intention.

Based on your definition above, can you say with certainty that the owners of
MegaBrands never made their product to be used with Lego or to supplement a Lego
Collection?
Mega Bloks will never reference Lego on their site, it's not good for their brand
and they have no permission to do so from Lego..
But they were created as a lower cost alternative.. Why else make them the same
size as Lego.. They could have made bricks 4 plates high, not 3.. could have
made the studs bigger or smaller, but they didn't.
Mega Bloks probably likes nothing better than to put on the same plane as Lego.
half of local ads that I see for Mega bloks references this too, "compatible
with Lego", "Just like Lego", "Fits with lego"
they may not outwardly say they are to be used with Lego, but you know that was
their goal.
The progression here at Bricklink, in my eyes of course,
Brickarms.. - ok, not so bad, can be used with Lego
East Asian weapons and shields..- same as above.
East Asian 'mud bricks' - err, ok, well, Lego has never done mud bricks, I suppose
that's ok.
Lego Elements in other colours - I guess since Lego never made them in that colour,
they could be ok.
oops.. Lego elements in production colours - ok.. that passed the line. perhaps.
The trouble with people, especially when money is involved, you draw a line,
someone will push forward, just to make sure that line is solid.. and if it's
not, then it's good for them.
Monorail tracks (home made) supplement Lego products.. lego doesn't make them
anymore, so is that fair game?
Light Bluish Grey masts.. Lego only made them in one set, no sign that they will
do so again, is that fine?
if it wasn't already shown that people can't handle a light line, it'd be fine
leaving it at your definition, but if you can say that a single Mega Bloks element
supplements a Lego project, you've opened the door.
and in the case of the bricks from Taiwan, they sell nothing Lego on the site..
They are (as per their terms) a "MANUFACTURER". Their bricks can be used with
Lego.. MeagBrands is a manufacturer, their bricks can be used with Lego.

| OK well lets kick it up a notch as Emiril would say
I shall list this piece as a custom, Lego make nothing like it and it's "primary
purpose" is to compliment a living room set in a a Lego modular building - it
is a vase with bull rushes (as far as I am concerned), looks absolutely lovely
on the corner table.
Does it matter WHO made it? What if I made one just like it?
I go back to my original stance if Lego didn't manufacture it - it isn't Lego.
Now Brickarms, sorry it ain't Lego, however much you may like their product,
personally I think nice items, not Lego, No thanks.
Chromed bricks (or painted what's the difference?) again NOT Lego.
Now on "unreleased parts" - unless there is some evidence to support Lego selling
these to someone, then they must be stolen, I asked about this a while ago, the
answer was some places are rather "leaky", this would suggest being removed without
consent = stolen. No thanks!
It's either all or nothing you CAN'T sellect favorites!
What if these "custom" (Taiwan) bricks are actually made by Cobi, Megablocks
or Star OR in the same factory after hours?
Please draw the line, without favor to some and not others, and as Lego certainly
unofficially endorse Bricklink :- don't bite the neck of the golden goose!
Please consider these points.

I do somewhat agree.
In my eyes:
Custom is parts made for use with Lego, but parts Lego probably will never make.
Clone is parts made in SAME design as Lego part, even in colors never made by
Lego.
IE: modern army gun is custom, but 2x2 brick in glow in dark white which never
was made by Lego is a clone. If some retired part was made again in different
colors, it is still a clone.
|
OK on that, if a part that integrates/fits with Lego but was never made by TLG
is considered "custom" then we should be allowed to sell mega blocks as custom
- as long as the part is not a clone?

| Hi Chris please see text in brackets
In my mind it is a clear: - a custom item will be quite simply an item that was
created from items manufactured (not necessarily sold or made publicly available)
by TLG
| |
While I agree with you, your definition of custom implies that non-production
colors in particular elements are custom.
For instance, I have
in Sand Green. This was never in any sets, but there are plenty to be
found out there and they were manufactured by TLG just as any other part was.
This is just nitpicking though...
I don't mean to take the side of the clone brick dealers who lurk here, but their
alternate bricks really aren't taking away any sales from the rest of the sellers
here. I agree that non-LEGO shouldn't be allowed here, but I don't think it is
hurting us.

PLEASE stop allowing fakes being listed as "custom"

You now even have items such as "custom bricks" from Taiwan listed as custom
items - how do you know these aren't actually m*gabl*ks?
If not maybe made after hours in the same factory.
It's this simple: - if it isn't manufactured by TLG - it isn't LeGo, and shouldn't
be available here, there are other venues to sell such items.
You should be aware that TLG whilst not (officially) endorsing this site, certainly
do so un-officially - many times I have been referred to Bricklink for obsolete
parts.
Please return the favour - by NOT allowing ANY and ALL non Lego parts to be listed
here.

I suggest that you consider the implications of the solution that you suggest
rather than cast aspersions on those sellers that may oppose it.
Sellers will not do the work of packing orders to get accurate shipping if the
buyer can just decide they do not want the order. This will lead to estimating
the shipping costs, and sellers will always err on the side of over-charging.
So, in the end you may eliminate hidden fees but you will pay more for shipping
anyways.
I would still favor an automated checkout process, but this is for convenience
and the elimination of NPB's. It will not lower fees, it will likely raise shipping
costs for the reasons stated above. But at least you will know.
Troy
|
Personally I would rather pay more and know exactly what I'm in for,
to date I have not had a single NPB - my terms are simple and clear maybe that
helps, it's on a win some loose some basis, costs are slightly high on small
orders, but low on larger orders, but in any case as shipping is charged at a
flat rate (within UK) and based on cart weight WW - anyone who places an order
will know exactly what they will be charged when invoiced.
I cant agree with "not knowing shipping prices" some state - it's no mystery
and scales are VERY cheap to buy.
As added at the end :-
What about Germany?
BrickLink will have to comply with the (I think its called) "button law" - perhaps
that would form the Global model?
This is the solution - you should be provided a grand total BEFORE you are required
to submit an order -
Bricklink is the ONLY WWW venue I am aware of where FULL price is not revealed
until after receiving an invoice.
I would say that at least 30% of orders I have placed ended up costing more
than anticipated from store T's & C's, not once has it been less. and on at least
4 occasions a rip off.

| Dealing with stores with unreasonable terms
- that only become clear after being invoiced.
I would like to propose an extra simple step to the process of forming the contract:
-
step 1: - buyer clicks "complete order" (was submit order) - usually without
foreknowledge of invoice total (some stores, including mine make it clear but
a vast number do not)
step 2: - seller sends buyer invoice with demand for payment which now reveals
all the "extra's" that may have been hidden.
and the new step:- (ADD new "button" accept/decline)
step 3: - buyer either accepts invoice and makes payment, or declines - this
would give the buyer the option to not accept unreasonable fees.
Please consider this solution as I believe the only ones who would vote against,
would be stores that HAVE hidden fees.
"Extra work"? do bare in mind a buyer has spent some time forming the order,
very few fall thru (not one for me yet), they are only likely to pull out due
to unreasonable fees in the first place!
Having low prices and high added fees isn't the best business model for anybody.
I am aware of the demands from Germany - perhaps that would form the Global model?

open source verses ©.
Any images I add, I state clearly that they are made availble free from copyright,
on two occaisions (I had pix of one of the series of cfm's and the team gb) I
made them available before they were on site elsewhere - no one took them up.
Many moons passed and eventually up they came - but not the ones I offerred -
why? Not that I care one way or the other about being mentioned or indeed "featured"
is that the term?
Anyway
Open source has many advantages certainly in this sort of arena, what is wrong
with sharing? Who is going to be "stealing" © and thence profiting from it?
All those with a vested interest in pictures of mini figs - may want to have
a peek at ebay - there's a lot of B/L pix there

| | | Sorry, voting no.
If implemented, I could go to your store, put all of your items in my cart and
sit on them for a day and you would get no orders. I could do this to all stores,
stores I dont like, stores which have better prices on a hot set... see the ways
this could be abused? The majority of the users wouldn't abuse it, but there's
no way you could implement it for some users and not for brand new users who
could be underage goons like bearboy who like to reek havoc for a laugh.
If you have a complicated order, let the seller know ahead of time. I don't
mind order additions as long as you either message me and let me know or chose
"leave order open". That way, I can wait until you're done to pack and invoice
and you can shop at your leisure and get all the parts you want.

That is why I suggested a time out function (an hour but it could be less) whereby
if you haven't completed a purchase within that time frame your cart is emptied
and stock returned automatically.
To think that a competetor would spend so much time being a nuisance, frankly
I am shocked that would even be thought of as a possiblity!
How many of that kind of people are on Bricklink? I would suggest close to zero
if not zero!
It doesn't happen in the real world (hardly) so why would that happen here?
Please reconsider my suggestion.

|
| REASON for suggestion: - to improve buyer shopping experience.
PROBLEM: - items in buyers cart are not necessarily available at check out due
to another buyer placing the same item(s) in their cart and checking out first.
This can be quite frustrating if these items were what you went shopping for
and either: -
1) Due to store minimum buy requirements you were looking for other parts to
make up the minimum
Or
2) You had a complex shopping list
COMPARISON – With real world shopping - items in your shopping cart are certain
to be yours assuming you go to the checkout and pay.
SOLUTION: - Add a reserved function to the cart, so that the first buyer to place
an item from a store in their cart makes it unavailable to other buyers.
This function should have a default “time out” of perhaps one hour (similar to
abandoning a physical shopping cart in a shop – the items being returned to stock)
OTHER BENEFIT: - This will also have a lesser but beneficial aspect for the shop
owner, as currently, the only way a buyer will be sure to obtain items is to
place (sometimes) multiple additions to orders – which depending on the inventory
management system employed, can make for a more complicated and confusing order.
I believe this will be of benefit to the whole community!
PLEASE consider voting YES, AND adding a comment to keep this suggestion in view
and thus gain more votes!

It's possible many haven't looked at the forum, judging by the angry messages
that seem to be coming in.
Just a thought, regards Graham

Do you mean angry messages on the forum?
|
Yup in the forum although I imagine theres a load going to Admin too.
| | People don't read the large yellow 'READ NOW: Site status' before posting.
|
Would seem so and the read now links to a lengthy thread NOT a brief on whats
happened.
I agree!!
Also I have had orders from UK and US/CA members who had no idea what had happened/is
happening

A forum where you cannot be banned. You can speak your mind, argue like an idiot,
mock people, attack people at will, be a jerk, be a jack wagon, or whatever else
you wish.
THIS WOULD BE AN OPT IN ONLY with an adult warning on it!
Think it would be fun.
This forum would NOT be listed on the forum post stats! And it would be a no
man's land for banned and unbanned people alike.
If it gets out of hand NO SUPPORT AT ALL BY MODS/ADMIN/G-D.
Since it would be an opt in ONLY, just do not go there if you do not wish to
be offended!
Great idea.
I would like to see it called THE WILD, WILD FORUM (with a cowboy and Indian
as the icon's for it).

No way, there are not enough adults here. Would agree if we could post pictures
of naked people.
