Whenever I am looking up a stickered part in the catalog to identify, I then
look at past and current sales of this part. So my pet peeve is this: how can
a stickered part possibly be listed as 'new'?? Just by the fact that
you took the sticker off the sheet and attached it to the part makes it, by definition,
USED! It doesn't matter if you never used this part to build the set, it
is still used! Is there any way we can disable the 'new' button when
listing these types of parts?

When searching for a part, it would be useful if the items for sale list could
highlight, prioritise, or otherwise indicate stores for which I already have
an open cart.

Ideally I'd like stores with open carts to be at the top of the list, with
an 'add to cart' button with a quantity entry box, to just add the item,
without going into the store page.

While adding items to an inventory which match a p\n and color of item on my
want list provide alert message "Item matches to Want List" with optional to
(1) continue to add to inventory no changes to Want list (2) Quantity matches
on WL, show remarks with option to remove from WL (3) User input to change quantity
on WL. Just a quick thought I'm sure there are other considerations to add
to idea

Hello.

In Spain, and in many other countries, there are different regions with different
shipping rates. In spain at least, we have two sets of islands, where shipping
is usually different (more expensive) than to mainland spain.

As for now, I can't set it up for automatic checkout, and i just need to
eat the cost difference if i get an order from there, but it would be nice if
it could be added.

Thank you

It would be helpful if you could set the colour of items in a Wanted List to
"I don't care" or "any".

Sometimes you want to build something but really don't care what colour the
pieces are; e.g. an internal structure or some sort of technic mechanism; you
just want them to be as cheap as possible.

With this option when you searched stores for parts it would ignore colour, but
still select based on cost and volume etc.

Hi
I was wondering if was possible, or if it would make sense to stop the visit
count going up when you visit your own store. This would give a more accurate
idea of how many other people have looked at your store.

If I am misunderstanding what it is for please correct me.

Maybe it’s just me but I’m not sure it’s fair to allow buyers who use the Instant
Checkout feature to leave poor feedback relating to shipping costs. I totally
understand being surprised by a high shipping cost when being invoiced but there
are no surprises with instant checkout. It’s totally in the buyers court to make
the purchase with the costs known up front. Also, if invoicing and the shipping
and handling charges are clear in the terms tab, it should also be removable.

I’d really like to see a change made to the feedback policy that allows for removal
of feedback when the purchase is made through the Instant Checkout function.
It’s not reasonable to allow a buyer to damage the reputation of a seller for
something the buyer agreed to.

I'm underwhelmed with the support from BrickLink as far as feedback is concerned.
If the buyer or seller can show that they are completely without fault BrickLink
should be able to remove feedback that is unwarranted.

I would like to be able to import my inventory into bricklink.com and see which
sets I can build, what is the completion %, for each set and which parts are
missing.
So I can quickly buy missing parts for these sets that I can build and then start
building new sets using the bricks I already have.

Hi,

there is few topics already regarding the timezone which has unfortunately never
goes anywhere:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1095235
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1060211
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1041372

It would be great to add a settings per user (general page) which will adjust
timezone for:

- forum posts,
- order,
- messages sent/received,
- others place where it would be relevant

This one wouldn't be so hard to do I guess and such feature already exists
for ages in forum framework like phpBB.

Thanks.

I'm new to the Bricklink community. Probably like many, I was into legos
when I was growing up, then stopped when I reached high school and now have kids
of the right age so I'm getting back into them.

I've bought a few sets of missing pieces so far on Bricklink. What was built
here never ceases to amaze me. It strikes me that one thing that's missing
is a way for creators to make money on their own custom sets. There is a very
old discussion topic on Affiliate Marketing which doesn't look like it went
anywhere. This idea is tangentially related.

It would be great if a builder could encode their design into a bricklink shopping
cart and then when people purchase the legos from the shopping cart or custom
set, the creator of the set could get some referral cost of the legos purchased.
This could give a huge boost to the lego community by empowering creators to
design and sell their own designs and could help increase cost per brick for
the sellers. At the same time, it would allow the common builder access to a
much wider array of sets to build.
