As TLG calls PCCs “Element ID”s, the mould number being a “Design ID.”

PCC is more descriptive of the code than "Element ID".

Er, if you say so…

OK great

I've cancelled the original inventory as I couldn't add the newly added
parts from the catalogue, and the newer inventory is now submitted for approval.

The descriptions are adequate I think, but hopefully someone can submit split
images for the yellow 'face' elements, as this will be better than the
ones supplied by LEGO.COM

If this can be approved, it will be great as this means I'll be able to part
out the 2 sets that I have.

Thanks!

Paul

Ok thanks for message, will check it in just a moment

I've also added the correct colour image for the Dark Azure 2x3x2 curved
side brick, as it's a new colour for that part.

Cheers!

Paul

Perfect

Checked and approved. Thank you very much for submiting this invenotry.
So maybe you submit more in the future

I have to say, thank you for approving this quickly as those 2 sets had been
bugging me for a while since I bought them to plunder the 2x4 Blue plates!

I think it's possible that I'll be doing more Duplo sets as I've
decided to get out of doing USED duplo as I have loads of vehicle elements that
I can't shift, and with all of the other parts that I have, they are just
taking up so much space that I could use for the normal LEGO elements.

Another reason why I'm getting out of the USED Duplo, is that there are more
and more Chinese Clones turning up at the car boot sales, so it will be really
hard to garner a decent return...

So, it depends upon whether I manage to see NEW Duplo at reduced prices or not.

Thanks, once again for the speedy approval of that set.

Regards,

Paul

PCC describes the code better. The first PCC's were literally a combination
of a 4-digit part code and a 2-digit color code. Some of those original PCC's
are still being used:

3024+02

3024+21

3024+23

3024+24

The new 7-digit codes aren't "smart" like that, but they do represent the
part in a specific color, as opposed to the 5-digit mold number. PCC is easier
to read and type, too.

I think the question was “Why ‘PCC’ and not ‘Element ID,’ TLG’s term?”
As TLG calls PCCs “Element ID”s, the mould number being a “Design ID.”

PCC is more descriptive of the code than "Element ID".

I will not state this openly - that would simply invite abuse of it.

Sounds fair. Thank you for your input.

Hello,

as a seller I always have this problem:

buyer submits a rash order then wants to cancel.
If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.

So I deny the order cancel until they become NPB, I undergo the NPB procedure,
so the buyer isn't allowed to leave a feedback anymore.

But this way my items are BLOCKED FOR 14 DAYS (7 I have to wait + 7 I have to
wait the NPB to resolve) and no one can buy them anymore.

Instead if I was able to accept the OCR, knowing they will not be able to leave
a negative, I would do that, leave a neutral, relist my items instatly and move
on.

I don't think that removing the chance to leave a feedback if we wish to
cancel the order is so unfair. The ones who wish to cease the order, ceases the
feedback with it.

Please help us sellers.

Thanks

No. I have requested to cancel orders because the seller indicated that he did
not have the most important the items. The OCR does not have to mean that the
buyer does not want the items. Also, depending on the behaviour of the seller,
I might want to leave feedback.

Yes, I fully support this idea - it is long overdue.

I make it clear that if a buyer places and Order, the buyer is expected to pay.
I do not accept OCR's. If the buyer refuses to pay, then it is an NPB. Period.
This protects me and, in theory, teaches people to read something before they
agree to it.

Bricklord

Hi Bricklord,

Your position is not without merit, even if I'm not in complete agreement
with it.

However, it leaves me curious...what is your policy if the buyer should inform
you that their reason for OCR submission is a financial emergency or other crisis,
such as a house flooding that leaves them no place to go/store LEGO for the time
being?

Not trying to start any fires here; as one seller to another, I'd really
appreciate your viewpoint on such a contingency.

All decorated parts have their own entry with the same number as the main part
plus pb and following number in the numbering system of them in Bricklink.
So look at 4198 as an example, you have four new decotared version of this part.
Type in search 4198pb* (with asterisk), sort by "item number" and "down", result:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=4198pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
See all decoreted have their own separate entry. So you must now crate whole
new entry for four your parts. Thanks to this searching you see the next free
number will be
4198pb31. So crate 4 parts 4198pb with following numbers 4198pb31, 4198pb32,
4198pb33, 4198pb34, describe them in name - add in name what is their pattern.
You can see also in this search how other are named, you can create somthing
similar. But in name for this part there always must be "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4
x 2 Rounded Ends ... Pattern" for "..." you enter your description of pattern.
Then add photos for such crated parts.
Now repeat this for all your new decorated bricks: 31110, 3011, 98223, 31111.
Create new entries with "pb".

Marek

I actually saw where I went wrong.

I'd listed the images before I'd changed the numbers of the parts, and
this accepted the images which was wrong as the part(s) were already in the catalogue!

I think I've done it correctly now, and all it need is for the naming of
the parts to be tidied up.

I've also added the dimensions of the set, and if the parts can be approved,
I can add them to the inventory.

Regards,

Paul

OK great

Then all sellers would left with incomplete minifigs in such inventory changed
minifig listnings. This was also very old set, wrong minifig was long in the
catalog and also more extensive change this was than only change part variant
being already in minifig for example.

Thanks!

just a question: was it not better to keep the minifigs and just make an inv.
change?
Why? Well both minifigs are no longer in any other set. Now we have -a and -b
versions but the 'without -a -b' version is no longer available (already
marked for del.).
That was also my reply on the other inv. ch. req.

We have
sp050
sp051
sp052
sp053 - marked for del.
sp053a
sp053b
sp054 - marked for del.
sp054b - why not -a (but same question here why not just keep the sp054)
sp055
sp056
sp057
sp058
sp059 - marked for del.
sp059a
