This needs to be a priority, sellers are also buyers. There are way too many
complaints in the forum from new members about this, it will drive many of them
to sell (and buy) on other sites.
I would add that many other urgent help desk requests are taking too long, it
recently took 2 weeks to get an account merged that we requested whereas it used
to take a day or two. Appreciate that the issue is not the individual(s) responsible
but there is a lack of resources allocated to help desk; this is going to hurt
the site and needs to be addressed...sorry to link this but if BL can afford
to allocate someone to building a catalog for Brickarms then perhaps they should
take a step back and look at the core business 1st.

| So I ended up finding 288 of these. They are in all great used condition. If
anyone would like to buy these to sell in their store I could take serious offers
and sell them to you via the proper channels on BL. I'm not going to give
them away. Maybe you can make US$1.00 profit per brick. Or maybe this is a long
shot.

plate and a forestman style large plant piece that are the same color.
Could they have been in a LEGO Store pick-a-brick? When I have time, possibly
tomorrow I will see how many there actually are. Any thought or comments would

Because its attached to a Torso and not a separate part in the sense that its
traded as such, they only sell as replacement parts or if someone is building
a custom minifig.

I would say they most certainly came from a LEGO store pick-a-brick. Or someone
who ordered them from LEGO direct for a custom project. LEGO produces the parts
to make sets in bulk. When the sets are retired/discontinued, the surplus parts
sometimes end up in the LEGO store PaB section. This has been the case with
certain CMF parts as well. I have also ended up with unique parts in large quantities
from bulk lots that were only minimally available via a certain set. And it
seems you got a very nice, very lucky score on this one. Congrats!

Personally, I'd just use a 1x1 and 1x2 dark green brick combo for $0.12 total
to achieve the same result.

Sounds a bit like this store has the rule only in text without having the option

In that case, I would just go ahead and place the order in that case, screw them,
they can't just waste your time like that. They can choose to either process

Do you mean the average lot value is $1, or that every lot must be a multiple
of $1 (or at least $1)?
Average lot values are common now, and should be stated at the top of the page
in a store if the seller has correctly implemented them.

If minifig dates work the same way than for parts, they are automatically set
from the (oldest) set they are from.
So, unless the new version of the set gets its own entry, the minifig’s date
will stay 2017.

I have a couple of similar bricks I can't find listed.
I'm pretty sure I read on here (can't remember if it was on the forum,
or the guidelines for part submission) that no more of this type of part would
be accepted as they are considered custom items, rather than an official LEGO
printed brick.

| It doesn't work, because not all items have the same distribution globally.
Some are prevalent in the VAT zone (closer to 20% difference with the BL priceguide),
some more outside of it (closer to no difference with the BL priceguide). Any
+% would be an estimation that will be off. Maybe not by a whole lot, but a 5
cent difference off the average can already make alot of difference in terms
of your place in the rankings and how fast the item will be sold.
It's not difficult at all, and there is no dilemma or tradeoff. The Brickstick
priceguide prices simply have to be identical to the Bricklink priceguide prices.
To do this, Brickstock simply has to access the priceguide including VAT. That
is a parameter that already exists. Either Brickstock has to perform a very simple
update, or, if this parameter is not available to them, Bricklink should make
it available in the API. It's really very simple.
I think it's very problematic doesn't even warn sellers, so they could
be underpricing without being aware of it.

I know there are third party software used to upload parts to your inventory,
but think a much more powerful way to part out set should be offered by BrickLink.
Maybe a software you download to your computer, but it could also just be a massive
redesign of the existing tool online.
What I miss the most is easier ways to manage lots that already exist in my inventory.
I don't want to open a new page just to check the remarks for a certain lot,
because if I forget to open that link in a new tab I will loose all progress
made with the other lots. This information should be visible on the same page,
or I should be able to open it in a pop-up window.
When parting out huge sets with thousands of pieces, it would also be nice to
be able to save the progress and continue later. Maybe there should be one upload
button for each lot, so I don't have to go through the entire list first
and then submit all changes at once.
There are of course lots of different features that could be implemented to make
the Part Out tool even more powerful, like more advanced ways to set up automatic
prices, like 10% below average etc.

Brickstock. Best $20 I spent. Super Easy. Do I wish it did more, of course,
but it does enough to satisfy me.
|
Yep, Brickstock is US oriented so it works for you, not for us  Prices exclude
VAT, so it renders it useless to me. I'd rather go through the Bricklink
part out process, have it crash, throw away my progress with a misclick, and
some other frustrations than to end up with prices that are off. It sounds like
everyone has slightly different wishes about what they like to see exactly in
the update, but making the BL part out process have all the benefits of Brickstock
would probably be a great place to start. That way European sellers can benefit
from all the benefits of Brickstock as well.

Stickered parts are not alternates these are counterparts. Next time please submit
them as counterparts. As for this change request I corrected it.

It would be useless to business users if it included tax, with all the different
tax rates globally it wouldn’t work for anyone.

prices, like 10% below average etc.

Brickstock. Best $20 I spent. Super Easy. Do I wish it did more, of course,
but it does enough to satisfy me.

Yep, Brickstock is US oriented so it works for you, not for us Prices exclude
VAT, so it renders it useless to me. I'd rather go through the Bricklink
part out process, have it crash, throw away my progress with a misclick, and
some other frustrations than to end up with prices that are off. It sounds like
everyone has slightly different wishes about what they like to see exactly in
the update, but making the BL part out process have all the benefits of Brickstock
would probably be a great place to start. That way European sellers can benefit
from all the benefits of Brickstock as well.

Okay, you're probably right. I haven't used those features much at all,
I've just noticed that everything has been updated to the new design and
there are at least a couple new features that I didn't have when I first
used BrickLink many years ago.
There are certainly improvements that could be done to buyers features as well.

| I do not quite understand what all the griping is about concerning the Part Out
function. To me, it is one of the precious few parts of BL that the current Admin
regime has actually not made a mess of. It works quite well for me.
It is not tedious; I enter the set #, quantity and any default comments. I
always set it to add to existing current inventory if parts match, and go from
there. I simply use the same default message, unless there is a rare case where
I need to differentiate a lot. For those I almost always upload manually.
There are far more pressing deficiencies that need to be rectified on this
site.
My 2 cents.

| | Bricklink as a whole has not left the hobby status. Although there are many
sellers that are business minded in their processes, scale, and earnings, they
are left using outdated hobby like business practices.
The parting out process is a dinosaur. It is fraught with failure potholes that
can cause you to loose a lot of work in an instant. It is difficult to update
and maintain your inventory. The whole alternate mold/part thing is still a
mess. It is very easy to screw up your inventory using BL tools or the ones
that try to interface with BL.
I don't see these things changing in the future. Bricklink made it clear
that the site would have a few changes but would not be updated to a professional
level. A few features that nobody wanted were added, (Moc shop, Brick arms,
Stud.io)
The payment and shipping side are still limping along after over 3 years of attempted
updates.
Bricklink is more trouble than it is worth for many sellers. I stopped selling
parts several years ago and am glad I did so. Now I have a huge inventory to
build with.
Oh, and don't get me started on the wanted list thing. It is improved, but
there are so many improvements that could be made. Large projects are incredibly
complicated and require spreadsheets, tools, and lots of time and effort. Bricklink
offers little in the way of effective tools.
But I'm still here buying and such.

Exactly! BrickLink seems to seek new ways to expand their business, but they
should focus on improving their fundamental service. There is of course more
buyers than sellers on the platform, and BrickLink seems to improve all buyers
features. However, without any sellers there can't be any buyers, so they
should really take care of those tools as well.

and then once agreed - write the code. Not really going to happen is it. No work
is currently being done on the classic site whilst all efforts are directed to
the next great marvel Bricklink xp and then, according to Admin_russell sellers
tools are next, whatever that means. As we have been waiting since 2013 for some
indication as to what that will be and the only message which evens mentions
features was that from Admin suggesting that B2B should be part of sellers tools
????? I wonder who asked for that and what does it mean?
People who run stores both new and old know what they need far better than those
who have not run a store. They should be asked what is needed and as I mentioned
in the first paragraph given a significant say in what is developed. Not goint
to happen, I am sure but one could hope.
For starters we ned as a minimum the following:
1. Inventory management
1. Sales Metrics/dashboard
3. Access to Google Analytics information for no of visitors etc
4. More printing capabilities (parameter/choice driven
5. More options using Query by Form
6. A totally revamped MY Inventory page
7. A proper part-out log (not the current one)
8. Redesign of the part out feature
9. Redesign of the add inventory page
10. Proper backup capabilities
11. Re-visit downloads and make them compatible with modern tools
And that list could go on for days
Sorry to kind of hi-jack your thread.

"Extra parts can vary depending on when and where a set was manufactured,
meaning that some new sets may include them and others may not. The quantity
of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts are typically not removed
or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined that they were originally
added or increased in error."
So your request will be rejected, somebody else found 2 extra of this part so
it stays as it is, inventory has been done from sealed set content.

I parted out and sorted this set without ever noticing there were undetermined pieces. But the chain of custody is secure. These were the contents of a sealed set. There were both variants of one piece. I made 44567b primary because I got 17 of those and only 2 of A.

| | Randy,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! (And nice avatar, Blacktron II forever!)
That makes sense, and my only counter-point to that is that Brickset uses info
from here to list minifigures, and being a collector, it's nice to be able
to have each of the alternate figs listed in a collection. Additionally, it gives
sellers more options to sell unique minifigs as well.
Just giving my two cents.
Thanks!
-Kevin
P.S. I'm curious how those decisions are made, is there one person that decides
on all these things, or do a bunch of admins just come to an agreement? Just
wondering
|
We've discovered that the only two to have multiple versions of the minifig
were the SDCC exclusives, and there were no instructions for those - only box
art that wasn't always consistent.
Considering the fact that people aren't going to be parting out those sets
for the minifigures, there doesn't seem to be a lot of harm in leaving those
two as exceptions.
But for all other sets, we've decided one entry is enough. To allow more
entries like this would create a precedent with huge implications. So your pending
entries will be rejected in a few days.
FYI, decisions like this are often made in the back rooms of BL where the admins
have their own Forum.
