1) If: "Sets" are a specific collection of parts.
2) And: Such collections of parts are still considered "sets" whether complete
or incomplete.
3) And: "Minifigures" are a specific collection of parts.
4) Then by logic: Such collections of parts are still considered "minifigures"
whether complete or incomplete.

Ergo, BrickLink is broken. One currently cannot list an incomplete minifigure.
They must instead be broken to their basic components and listed as single parts.....and
this makes no sense from both a logical standpoint or a buyer-friendly standpoint.

We NEED "incomplete/complete" definitions for minifigures (and for all inventoried
items for that matter) to keep this marketplace competitive. A $20 11-piece
minifigure missing an inconsequential part should be possible to list as "incomplete"
and defining the missing item. To have to break this nearly complete collection
composing the minifigure down to individual parts, pieces a seller likely does
not want to break apart given it is more desirable or worth more as a whole instead
of pieces, makes eBay a better marketplace for the item. eBay should NEVER be
a better option than BrickLink on the ability to list and sell LEGO. Something
is wrong with this site when this is the case.

PLEASE correct this and add the same complete/incomplete definitions for minifigures.
It certainly cannot hurt the marketplace and will actually improve it by helping
to eliminate the ever so common "missing ----" descriptions sellers often
currently use (though shouldn't) under the same catalog entry for the undefined
figure. Buyers shop specific figures, and as such should have the option to
buyer complete or incomplete as meets their needs.

I was thinking that it would be an interesting feature if store owners were able
to see who has carts/how many carts people have in your store so that we might
be able to issue coupons or have sales to encourage people who have had an open
cart for a long time. Another idea is people get email notifications (if they
want to enable them) for stores they have carts in whenever the price drops.

90-percentile as new average price ?

Viewed:

202 times

Topic:

Status:

I noticed the highest prices of items sold (or of items that are on sale), have
an out of proportion influence on the average prices.
Example: when 9 people sell (or have sold) an item at €0.10 but 1 person has
sold that item for €10.00, the average price would be €1.09
You may say this example is not realistic, but it's not that unrealistic
either. Check out item 6558. The avg used price of last 6 month sales is €0.023,
while the majority of the sales are for less as €0.02
If you look more closesly, you see a few sales at a high price, but not a lot.
(Note: someone even sold a few of these for €1.00 !)

It's my suggestion to change the calculation of avg price to use the 90-percentile
method. So only the 90 percent (lowest prices) are taken into account. That way,
the top 10-percent highest prices are not taken into account when calculating
the avg price.
To avoid weird behaviours, the rule could be in place only when there are 10
items sold/for sale.
Example would become an avg price of €0.10

Another somewhat more complex method would be the use the median. Not the mathematic
average, but the middle price: 50% of the sellers have a lower price, 50% of
the sellers have a higher price.

What do you guys think?

I can understand the need to have a bypass password for some orders BUT I can
see it only being useful if the store(s) in question are using instant checkout.

Why not turn off the need for a bypass password for any stores that are not using
instant checkout since they are going to need to manually send an invoice/calculate
shipping anyways. It would help reduce the restriction errors buy quite a bit
and help sellers by not making them wonder why their sales have dropped off suddenly.

I am proud of the invoice template that I developed. It doesn't get used

These people are getting an immediate invoice that says I have packed their

I was able to respond to the feedback but it didn't occur to me in time
to ask to have the feedback removed. Now that I've tried to make the request
the system won't let me because the order was supposedly purged but yet the
feedback is still there. Do negative or neutral feedback ever expire? Is there

To admin,

Regarding parts and colour entry.

It would be good if there were an entry to say whether the colour is matt or
shiny. I have to replace a part on Harry Potter Knight's bus. The original
was shiny black but the part I received as a replacement was matt.

On this particularly set it is rather noticeable so rather than have to email
each seller to ask if they have a shiny black part it would be good if it were
stated. Not sure if Lego make the distinction but it makes a difference to the
look of the set when its a visible part.

Not enough space on the subject line! When adding a part to the catalog, we
have to scroll through every catagory in the catalog. I mostly add minifig pieces,
halfway down the list. And it is especially frustrating when the item number
I choose is already pending in the catalog and I have to scroll through it all
again. All of these categories have a number and I have considered just changing
my routine to adding the number on the pending items screen. I just haven't
done that because it feels improper to submit it without the category and I might
forget. If it were an option, that is the option I would use.

Subject pretty much says it. When buying parts, as you were adding them to your

to buy some parts, and noticed that is now gone. It would be great if that was
brought back. It is much easier than trying to go piece by piece and check multiple

I've had too many "100% complete" purchases that weren't. From talking
to sellers it seems they just say something is complete but most aren't actually
checking. I feel this is a disservice to buyers.

Perhaps a field that says "I have checked the set against the BL piece list and
it actually is 100% complete" or something like that. They will still lie,
but maybe it will curtail things a bit.

And on the buyers end, rather than just a positive/neutral/negative, there should
be more. Like a "was it actually 100% complete?" Then if you see that only
75% of the time a seller is actually selling complete sets you can steer clear.

Hi all.
Today I got panicked, because I didn't find my super lots on searcher, but
I have them for sell.

On forum I got an answer that I must check the field before "Include Super Lots"
and than I can see them.

For me, as a seller this is not logical.
How will buyers know If there is a possibility to buy for example a minifigure
together with weapon If they don't know that this option exsist?
Or that they can buy left and right doors in one package?

For now I have app 1620 lots for sell and app 320 of them are super lots, which
is 20% of my store items and they are not visible to the buyers.

Please put a fix check infornt "Include Super Lots" that all the items are visible
to buyers. If buyers don't want to see super lots, than they can uncheck
the option.

I think this solution will be good for all the sellers.
Thank you for the answer.

Suggestion for layaway option!

Viewed:

135 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Hello! I am currently placing an order with one of the coolest store owners I've
come across, and he let me pay layaway for about 2 weeks when it hit me:
Why isn't there a layaway option? Obviously, this can benefit the seller,
and the lower-income buyers together, but before I continue, Let me explain
the concept of layaway:

Layaway is an option where you pay weekly, biweekly or monthly a set amount (agreed
on by both parties: buyer and seller) until the item is paid off.

For the seller, this means once the price is agreed on/the first payment is made,
they have to put the item aside (regardless on other buyers' offers after
an agreement is made between the first two parties)

For the buyer: This means the once the price is agreed on, you stick to the price
and stay faithful to the deal 'till the end. This also means communicating
with the seller for anything that should be noted such as change of payment account,
or change of address, etc. Missing your payment by one day could void the whole
transaction leaving the buyer at the mercy of the seller.

Both parties should remain as transparent as possible for the smoothest possible
transaction.

Due to people filing chargebacks on other people, it would be fair to give refund
permissions ONLY to the seller. This way, if the buyer breeches the contract,
or simply wants their money back, the seller could then decide if a refund is
warranted.

It's like a regular BL order, except its just broken up over time.

What do you guys think?

I always use the HIGH/LOW % indicator on the "Buy my wanted list" page to see
if I'm getting a good deal, however I don't always get the best results
because the indicator doesn't check if I wanted new/used. Example:

Part Average: New-$2 Used-$1

Store A Part Price: New-$1.90 - v10%
Store B Part Price: Used-$1.10 - ^10%

If I select "any" condition, I would expect that the used part for only $1.10
would be a better deal, and yet the page tells me thats overpriced. Instead I
buy the $1.90 part, thinking its a better deal (10% lower) but it's really
not.

Suggestion:
If "any" condition is selected, compare the part's price to the average of
both the new AND used price.

Restore the price comparison on Buy Wizard

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Dear Members of the BrickLink community,

as many of those of you who buy LEGO parts etc. on this site may know, for quite
a while the Buy Wizard (as invoked from a Wanted List) has shown a price comparison
for parts as percentages relative to the average price. This was visible when
selecting an individual shop from the results that were shown by the Buy Wizard,
and price differences were highlighted in green or red (indicating whether the
price of a part was higher or lower than the average price). In addition, a total
average difference (also expressed as percentage) was shown at the bottom of
the list.

This was in my view an extremely useful feature which made it possible to identify
particularly inexpensive parts from a sellers list or highly priced items. I
have used this feature in many cases, and for example have increased the amount
of parts ordered for relatively inexpensive parts and removed very expensive
parts from the list that I then added to my shopping cart.

Now suddenly this feature has been completely removed. I have initially suspected
this to be a bug, but E-mail communication with maintainers of the BrickLink
site has revealed that removal of this feature was intentional. This has been
done quite without notifying the community and without providing any reasons
or explanations. I do not agree with the removal of this feature and believe
that many users - especially Buyers - find this feature extremely useful. I therefore
request that it will be restored and ask for the support of the BrickLink community.

Best regards, Thomas

Topic:

For some time now we have had considerable difficulty in reconciling the fees
statement to our accounts system. The fees are always paid - there is no problem
there, but the fact that it is a summary rather than detail and the conversion
rates may or may not be different it makes it a job rather than just a quick
check.

We would like to see each store given the option to receive either the summary
or a detailed breakdown. The detailed breakdown should include each order the
store is being charged for the date and value of that order and the calculated
fee + currency conversion rate.

Those of us who do not deal in dollars would like that information available.
Those who don't require it can remain with the summary.

If the fees program is within the code for Bricklink, this should not be a complicated
change as it has all the info already. If it is in another system that would
have to be looked at but even today's most simple billing programs allow
for this type of information to be presented.

Quality of Used Parts

background: Buyers will, in many/most cases, shun used parts because there is
no formal method of sellers telling buyers what to expect. Buyers will always
turn to New parts, unless the supply of New parts is constrained, or the cost
of New parts is significantly above the cost of Used parts.

suggestion: Give sellers the ability to apply a simple 4-level rating system
to help buyers better distinguish what they will be receiving. The 4 levels are:

Like New - barely distinguishable, or indistinguishable, from New parts.

Average - Average playware, The usual scratches, and very minor nicks along sharp
edges.

Worn - Wear levels that include, but not limited to, ABC, heavily worn from years
(or generations) of playware.

Unrated - Parts which do not qualify as New, but the seller has not rated them

86 times

Topic:

Status:

I was going through a used lot of LEGO I purchased, and I thought,
"How cool would it be if Bricklink had a feature that show the sets that parts
might have come from."

Example...

I have 3 red 2x2 cones, and 4 Green Hinge plates, and 2 Yellow 1x6 Wedge plates.

If you could enter these parts into a query, and have the system give you a list
of sets that contain those parts, it could possibly increase sales for many stores
by people wanting to complete sets. Increased sales for Bricklink sellers, means
more income for Bricklink.

You already have a feature that lists all the sets with specific parts, so I
imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to cross reference multiple parts.
But I know nothing about coding, so...

What do you think?

Counterfiet Set Reporting

I've been had!!!

Suggestion: Counterfiet Seller's Registry

First time user of Bricklink. Was excited to buy "new sealed" discontinued star
wars set on behalf of my son at what I thought was a fair price.

Posted positive feedback immediately because item was sealed and appeared to
be in authentic packaging. All logos present with circled R and tm etc.
Upon inspection of parts even noticed "LEGO" on all studs. However edges were
sharper than genuine parts, also in general parts felt lighter, minor differences
in shapes of familiar elements. Amazed at the attention to detail of the fakers.
But, in my heart of hearts I know it's a fake set. Instructions and promotional
items all there etc. I don't think my son even knows or cares. I've also
compared the seals and box to "youtube speed build" of the same authentic set
and noted differences in seals and packaging(e.g. barcoded box seals).

Is there a way to report a seller if you believe they are selling fake sets?
I would like to report this person so that others don't fall victim as I
have. I would never want to pass this set or it's elements on as authentic.
I don't even care to fight for my money back, but I don't want this to
happen to others. It has eroded my trust in bricklink at this point.

Thanks for listenting to my rant,

notify sellers when set inventory updated

Viewed:

129 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

BrickLink already keeps track of what sets I have parted out. I can go look up
the log of my past uploads. If would be helpful if sellers were automatically
notified when a set they have parted out in the past has its inventory updated.
Then I would be able to go double-check that lot to make sure it wasn't from
the newer version of the set inventory. It would allow me to provide better customer
service because I would have less errors in my inventory.

Here is the reason for my suggestion:

Say in July 2016 I parted out 20 of a set. In August 2016, someone updates the
inventory with a variant part. I am left completely unaware that half of my parts
were actually the second variant until I notice a mixture while pulling the order.

Another version of this scenario is when LEGO changes the build and the number
of pieces in a lot changes. My inventory might say I have 120 pieces in a lot,
but I actually only have 100. If someone buys out the lot, hopefully I can find
more of that piece in a set I have waiting to part out.

If I were notified of set inventory updates on sets I have parted out, I could
go check my inventory before there is a problem.

API Push Notification Signatures

Viewed:

122 times

Topic:

Status:

The API currently allows registration of notification URLs that will get POST
data once some events are raised (orders, messages, feedback). This is great!
However, in order to implement this we need a server that accepts POST data publicly.
Right now there is no easy way to verify that this POST request is actually coming
from BrickLink.

While we can check the IP from which the request originated, I think a better
alternative would be for the push notification request to contain a signature
in the body. Perhaps the ConsumerSecret could be used to sign the request via
HMAC and include this signature as part of the request? Including an additional
attribute in the JSON object should not break existing implementations.

Bricklink logins/accounts

Viewed:

268 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

This one has been around a long time and unfortunately nothing seems to be happening
with it.

Bricklink needs to change the way the login/accounts function works. As a medium
sized store with an owner and 3 employees we need to allow the employees to log
into Bricklink and update store inventory, prices etc almost every day and as
things currently stand they have to use the owners login details (Poor security).
SQL, which is used for the database has quite a good security system built in
so even if we went native with that, it would be better than the current situation.

The same thing applies for stores with multiple locations - we have two processing
centres - one where all of our Lego inventory is stored, picked etc and one where
orders are packed and shipped from. Hence we want to set up a shipping from address
and a shipping to address. The fact that not all stores support the alternate
address system on Bricklink, as it currently stands means the only real way to
do this is using alternates on Paypal (for those that use Paypal).

So in summary - multiple logins to the stores with security/control permissions
and a minimum of 2 address for each store - one for ship from and 1 for ship
to.

As an afterthought it might not be a bad idea to allow store owners to have two
accounts - one for buying and one for selling, with the appropriate feedback
associated with each function. This might make a difference as to how people
look at a situation - In our case we have over 800 buying feedback and over 2000
selling feedbacks.

I have had a couple of orders that I have placed where the seller has shipped

The seller is either not responding to my messages to update the status or doesnt
want to change the status and thus I am unable to file my order, until the status

the seller has complete control.

Stats: Don't count buyer cancellations

Viewed:

188 times

Topic:

Status:

On the feedback page we now have a part which says how many cancelled orders
a seller has

The problem is, I look at that as a buyer and assume the seller cancelled it
and that makes me wobble a bit about buying.

Of course different people will see this number in different ways and alot of
folks wont even consider it at all.

So, I received an order and a couple of days later receive this email

"Thank you but I have sourced the parts from another seller with a different
order but he had stated at first he had none but it was I that was putting in
the wrong colour sorry to of wasted your time"

Fair enough, new user, small order, more than happy to cancel, its good customer
service

But, now, because of my willingness to be helpful I have this statistic on my
profile that suggests I cancel more than 5% of my orders and that makes me look
bad as a seller, my suggestion is simple:

Please consider either:
changing the cancellations counter so that it does not include circumstances
where the order has been cancelled by and OCR initiated by the buyer
OR (almost as good)
Seperate buyer and seller initiated cancellations so that buyers can make a more
educated choice as to whether a seller with lots of cancellations is providing
good customer service or is unreliable at fulfilling orders

Hello

I suggest to ban selling custom parts from bricklink that aren't official
LEGO parts.
LEGO guarantee for quality of their parts and we can't know of what kind
of plastic are made custom parts. Plastic maybe toxic or another way harmful.
And what guarantee we have that those parts aren't from fake LEGO brands
like Lepin or similar.
Let those fake parts be on ebay and other sites, let bricklink be just for LEGO
and not for "Lego".

Bricklink's forum is very ugly and hard to read/navigate. Why do I have to

one screen. Also what's the point of "RE: what's this?" showing up 17
times in a row on the main page. Each post should only be displayed once. If
it gets a reply, the post should go bold so that readers know there is a new
response. This way the front page isn't spammed to high heaven. Maybe it's
because I'm using my phone? I've never tried on a desktop or laptop.
Anyway, these forums are gross to look at. I can't imagine ever using this

I've seen the "To Top" floating button when in stores and found it to be

of every page, why do we need another one (that moves around no less)? Additionally,
I think I can manage manually scrolling to the top of my home screen without
the aid of a bow and arrow.

Is this a recent change or have I just not noticed it before? Do we have to
have these controls that hover and move around on the screen erratically? It's
especially frustrating on a small mobile screen--it's just clutter.

Can we drop them or at least have an option in our settings to turn them off?

It seems like admins are starting to look back at the pile of suggestions we
have.
Implementing some discarding some...
However it is not clear if they are basing the decisions on what to implement
or do with the site based on old votes, new votes, by some other parameter or
just plain randomly.

When dealing with major changes like price comparison etc, it would be good to
poll the entire site not just forum users about what to do.

A simple email with a yes/no toggle for a couple important suggestions and the
option to subscribe for future polling.

If the user does not reply they don't get emailed the next round if they
do their vote is counted.

Each poll could be open for say 3 days.
The next poll would come when the admins are ready to implement new changes.
In this way if you don't vote then you have to shut up and stop bickering
in the forum. If you vote but are minority then oh well better luck next time.
I know BL is not a democracy but it could actually help BL to listen to what
the great majority of BL users, buyers and sellers want and not just do random
stuff.

Require sellers to pass a test before selling

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

I am not even certain I think this is a good idea, but I had this thought.

Suppose Bricklink required that one pass a simple test, before being able to
sell on Bricklink.

The test would require that one be able to use the catalog, to verify the part
and color that they are offering for sale.

Such things as the length in dots (or diameter in case of something like a rubber
band) could be done with pictures (like showing something that is 5 lego dots
long, next to a Lego plate, aligned so one can see how many dots long it is,
and having them select the correct length from multiple choices).
Or maybe include some pictures of pieces in some colors that are close, but different
enough to easily identify.

Or maybe a better idea is to present sellers with a verification popup, when
listing certain part/color combinations.
- Anytime a color is listed, that is no longer in production, a popup asking
the seller to verify the color, and telling them the color has not been produced
since (year), would avoid some errors.

- Anytime it is a part/color combination, that is not one that is known to have
been in any set, a verification popup would be useful.

This would make it MUCH easier to pivot by item number, type, color, etc.

Expanding Bricklink towards Playmobil

Viewed:

345 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Hello,

I hope someone from the Bricklink team reads me.
Here is my suggestion: why not expand Bricklink towards Playmobil products?
While the AFOP community isn't quite as vibrant as the AFOL community, there
are many adult fans of Playmobil out there (including me) who have been sharing
and buying/selling for years now on different internet forums. We even have our
own sets/parts database at playmodb.org
But this community lacks a global and well-organized marketplace like Bricklink.
So why not expand? It would be a bit of work from the Bricklink team's part,
but adapting Bricklink's framework to Playmobil products should be doable,
especially if you use the playmodb database which would spare you quite some
trouble. And it ultimately would mean more money for you.
I'd very much like you to consider this project. If playmolink or klicklink
or whatever its name was ever created, I'd certainly be the first to set
up shop and do publicity on your behalf to the AFOP community.
Thank you for your attention and have a nice day

I posted this a few hours ago here: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=217172&nID=1028587

but i thought it might be better to do so here.

Since i have some experience in infosec, i thought i vent an idea here.

I just signed up a few days ago, (great to be here so far!) and noticed the same,
i have had 2 haunted houses mails of under 150€, in the last 3 days.
Yesterday Susan, day before Anthony.

Anthony actually send me a very small, low res. pic, without ANY exif data...
If you think i am crazy to check these things, well wake up and welcome to the
interweb: The biggest darkest alley, filled with criminals, where you would normally
never come! (and yes my friend call me internet-paranoid).
Before i could answer it was sold. Never got that answer.
It is a sad thing scammers...

so my solution, kind off.
Maybe give new sign-ups a week or so a status of "aspiring member" for an x period
(week/2 weeks).
In this period a new member can only buy NOT sell. (maybe even have to buy before
you can sell? although that's a biggie)
It is no fool proof solution, but a big hurdle for scammers looking for a quick
buck.

This will stop most if not all quick scammers, i take it IP addresses are already
logged and banned? Maybe analyse those, is there a trend?
Although i think this will help a lot, even asking for copy of ID, what i do
NOT propose is no really watertight solution.
(who is going to check all those, and securely safe the data of those offsite?,
complience etc)

my 2 cents...

Improvements to the invoicing capabilities from within Bricklink. When the development

We need the ability to include graphics (e.g. store logo) and provide the ability

for this.

It is a marketing tool and needs to be used as such - not what we currently have.

It looks like the payment method is set default to PayPal.

I would prefer to be able to choose the default payment method myself(as a seller).
Just like the shipping methods, default for
- all buyers
- domestic buyers
- international buyers

Or even better, for both shipping method ánd payment method:
- all
- domestic
- EU
- International outside EU

But this is asked for many times already during the past years.
Since Bricklink does make the difference between EU and non-EU with VAT, it
also
should be possible for these methods.

As long as it is not possible for a seller to choose the default payment method
for at least domestic and international buyers, I would prefer Bricklink to
remove
this default for all buyers.

Lego v Bricklink colours

Viewed:

Topic:

I am aware that this has been suggested many times before by various people and
unfortunately nothing has ever been done about it but perhaps now is the time
to bring it back up.

When a new used comes to Bricklink they are faced with lots of hurdles - they
will not recognise the Bricklink part numbering system; and in lots of cases
the colours as many of them have totally different names.

The Lego stores also call colours differently e.g. Dark Blue to them is their
standard blue brick and if you ask for Earth Blue - they often look at you with
a puzzled look, even though that is an official Lego Colour name. The same with
Green etc.

So, with that in mind could the Bricklink developers not come up with a better
idea than the current colour chart for the catalogue. Perhaps similar to the
very old and outdated Peeron one.

It would help the new buyers - and after all we give them the option to key in
the number at the back of the Lego instructions to find a part (and little do
they know by using that number they get the part in the correct colour).

Bricklink want to encourage new buyers and as a store we want that as well -
but let us give them the tools do make it easier for them not more complicated.

standard deviation on price indices

Viewed:

200 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Please implement standard deviation.

By eliminating the (small number)% cheapest and (small number) % most expensively
priced lots, the average price index would be "more statistically significant"
in scientific terms ( less error margin ).
This is only necessary for items that have at least e.g. 10 distinct lots for
sale.

Why this suggestion ?

Yesterday i noticed one particular seller set all his prices at ( BL avg x 10000
). This caused average price index "lots for sale" to be inflated at least
tenfold.
Someone else suggested he made a mistake in currency.
If this one shopkeeper persists, unwanted "extreme" inflation may occur on several
very common items, and those lots - for sellers not paying attention when adding
to their inventory - might become impossible to sell.

No feedback for cancelled orders

Viewed:

Topic:

Hello,

Can someone explain me why are feedback allowed for cancelled orders?

Example: I have a buyer, who bought hundreds of euro of stuff from me. After
7 days you can start a NPB. After 14 days you can cancel the order if you are
lucky that they do not reply. If they reply, it needs 21 days to cancel the order.

If you cancel the order BEFORE 21 days, they can leave a negative feedback.
If you cancel the order after those 21 days, they cannot leave a negative feedback.

So I usually wait 21 days (or 14 if I am lucky).

Thus, people can block hundreds of euro worth of lego from your store for 21
days. Yes, they will have a penalty, but it's however a big loss for a seller.

I believe that it would be more useful if no feedback for cancelled order was
allowed.

Please if I am not correct help me to be corrected.

When a part is listed with color (not applicable), the sample image is white.
When listing white parts, this can cause confusion because they wouldn't
come up in a search for white and the error is hard to detect. When the parts
are actually some other color, the confusion is more obvious.
Perhaps the Not Applicable image could be a line drawing or otherwise altered.

Are you sure? This is not a known color.

The catalog is littered with parts that have very likely been uploaded under
the wrong color. Look at 4495 for example, I would guess that 6 of those colors
with lots under them are just listed incorrectly (bright pink, dark blue-violet,
dark purple, Maersk blue, pink, rust).

4495 Flag 4 x 1 Wave Undetermined (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Flag
Marked for Deletion

This shouldn't happen when parting out new sets, but when listing used parts,
it seems some sellers don't check against current listings or against the
"known colors" data for the part they are listing, and they end up picking whatever
they want.

I would like to suggest that a control mechanism be put in place to help address
this. Maybe if a seller is adding a part to their store that is not a known color,
there can be a popup saying "this is not a known color for this part - are you
sure?". Maybe the pop-up can contain a list of the known colors to choose from.
If the seller is confident they have a "new" color, they can click "this part
is not a known color" to proceed with the listing.

Ideally, this would flag the entry with a tag that can be used in searches and
wanted list notifications. I would love to pick a part and ask to be notified
when one is listed in a "new color", or to be able to search within categories
for parts in new colors.

Bricklink app (!/?)

Viewed:

Topic:

I've been thinking, I really think Bricklink should come up with an app (for
android and apple, obviously).
Personally, I find it very difficult to use any website on a browser on my tablet,
and a smaller screened smartphone would be no better. As such, I rarely ever
use bricklink on my tablet, just because it is so difficult. I know there is
the "mobile site", but I'm figuring that's just the same desktop site,
enhanced for mobile devices (am I wrong? Please correct if I am). I Don't
find it's better at all. It still has the upper "tabs" (Shop, community,
my BL, etc, etc) which on desktop requires a hover to use, most of the time.
On my tablet, I'm constantly using the "normal" version and using "use desktop
version", which really isn't any different or any better.

Anyway, consider other major sites (facebook, ebay, amazon, amazon seller, paypal,
gmail, how many others am I not including?) that one can visit on a browser OR
an app. All those aren't just 5% different versions of the same desktop site,
they are designed ground up for tablets/phones. I think bricklink could do very
well to come up with one. I KNOW I'd use it all the time. Heck, I've
even be willing to pay the typical .99 for it.

Has there been talk of an app in the past that I've missed, or is my idea
totally, 100% new?

Worse, some buyers are punishing sellers by leaving negative feedback when they

My understanding is that this is not the first time this has been requested.
Seems to me this could be a field appended to the existing database that is populated

Hi all,

New sellers are supposed to offer only “PayPal with Purchase Protection,”
or to be first vetted by BrickLink administration. ( http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2440
)

I’d suggest that the “not vetted” status of new sellers be made clearly visible,
so that buyers (especially unexperienced ones) would know to only use PayPal
with them (even if the seller has a “my Paypal is borken” excuse).

This idea first came as a “badge” showing vetted/non-vetted status but I don’t
think a tiny logo/link beside their username would do.
Maybe a more prominent information box (splash?) in their store would be more
useful.

That information would be shown until the store has “enough credit history” to
be able to use other payment methods (as the “vetted” sellers).

Thoughts?

since I use Canadian Pricing it won't work for me.

What I would like to see is on the upload part page is : qty of part and colour
and select pricing then right under that another line so I can add then my next
colour of brick and so on and so on and hit submit once, similar to the parting

Well known problem
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=983078

solution
* If some item(s) get removed/sold/etc generate an automatic Item Removal Request
(IRR), stating what has happened. At the same time, give the buyer a singe click
solution to cancel the quote request all together, in case the missing item poses
an issue.

OR
* just create an action item for both buyer and seller, leave it for them to
solve it but DO NOT auto-cancel the whole thing. Make is so the invoicing is
impossible if the item(s) were not removed from the quote via IRR (I guess it
would require to create an item removal request process from a QUOTE)

OR
AUTO-CANCEL the quote, but give the buyer a single-click solution to place the
same quote request again, where the missing items are excluded.

OR
* whatever else.. just do it quick, please. Whatever it will be, please keep
in mind that new buyers often use the quote-request thing without having a slightest
clue what it's for. Whatever will happen after *items are now missing form
the quote request*, MAKE SURE that it is, first and foremost, new-user friendly.

I am not sure these have all been covered completely before or it may have
been in several different items/issues, but we would like to see the following
improvements in the next release of Bricklink.

1. Improve the colour samples to include larger swatches, Lego Colour Name; Pantone;
CMYK, RGB. It might even help to include the Peeron Colour name. Colours are
very important to lots of people and they also have a direct bearing on pricing
(unlike Lego)
2. Improve the images in the catalogue both small and large. Remove sketches
and where there are subtle differences between parts e.g. ....a and ....b make
it clear what those are (in photos of course).
3. Major issue with tire and wheel identifications. The relationship idea helps
somewhat as does the visual wheel thing, but neither are complete and they are
not kept up to date. Where Lego has a part number fine, but many do not or it
is impossible to read. Considering Lego are the world's largest tire manufacturer
we should do better here.
4. Our age old - please allow multiple users to have access to the stores. The
larger the store, the more likely there is more than one person dealing with
it and all of the individuals need to be able to get in with different permissions,
as required. We are based in two locations and share access to the store at both.
That is not ideal, as you can imagine, and of course with only one login everyone
can do everything.

There are many. many more itmes to be dealt with but the suggestion forum does
not seem to be the best place to get things moving.

BL 2.0 - Storage & Remarks

Viewed:

197 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Hi Everyone,

I know that a lot of what's being suggested is already implemented however
most of the people posting the topic didn't know so I'm sorry if this
is something which is ready available in BL or a third party program to which
I am unaware.

My suggestion comes around the storage and remarks system, after all most of
us stock more parts, and a larger breakdown of parks than your average online
store.

Point A.

Firstly, when I part out a new set and I choose to consolidate old remarks I
don't find out if the item has any previous remarks until I have entered
the remarks myself.

I would personally like to see you choose to part out a set and a list come up
of all the parts that are in that set which you already have in store and the
remarks section to be pre-filled with where you have the same item in the same
condition, allowing you to quickly put away all the parts you already have in
stock.

Then the next page would show you the parts which you don't already have
in your inventory and you would add those parts just like you do now, filling
in the fields you require.

I know this may not be an option to everyones taste but I think it would make
my life easier, so perhaps just the option to have a set up like this or similar
would be nice.

Point B.

To take this further I thought about a system where you documented your storage
system for example I use small boxes which are numbered. I use an excel document
to mark what is in each box by colour, category, part type and condition.

So what if I loaded those details into a database and the database told me what
I had in each box based on the remarks field and what I have said should be in
there for example...

All new 2x2 tiles should be stored in box 20.

I add that to the database.

I can then use the database to see what is in box 20 and based upon my inventory
it says I have the following;

x1 Black New 2x2 tile

x4 Yellow New 2x2 tile.

This would allow me to do a stock check much faster, and would allow me to find
errors not just on the stock levels but on remarks. In addition to this I think
if this was successfully implemented it would remove the need for remarks when
stock counting and order picking all together.

But what about when your listing items...

Well...

Based upon what I have entered into the database... that all new 2 x 2 tiles
should be stored in box 20 the system could provide me with a storage recommendation
even if I for example don't have that colour in the box already it would
see that the tile is in new condition, it is a category tile, and the size is
2 x 2 therefore based on what I have entered it should be stored in box 20.

I hope this makes sense, and I hope you all say it's something which I haven't
found yet but is ready available because I want it NOW!! haha.

Thanks

BL 2.0 Store Lists - Overview

Hello

I also have a proposal that could be implemented without much effort.

Everybody sees in all Shoplists (summaries), only the total number of stones.

I am of the opinion that the number of different lots is also an important information.

Example:

Shop A - 1,500,000 Stones but only 100 lots
Store B - 50,000 but 10,000 Lots

If I had many different stones Store B is much more interesting, for me.

But you find not so good such stores, because the Lots are not indicated in the
tables. (Store B looks at first glance less attractive as Store A.)

You always have to go into every shop to see the number of lots.

System Generated Superlots

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

Superlots are a great way to list multiple items for sale together. However,
superlots are confusing and difficult for many to bother setting up. To help
increase the usage of superlots and avoid misunderstandings with buyers regarding
what items do or do not go together, I suggest that BrickLink add pre-set
system generated superlots. These superlot templates would be created by contributors
to the BL catalog. Thus, for example, when adding a collectible minifigure to
the BL catalog, the submitter can also have the option to submit a superlot that
others can use to sell that minifigure with accessories as a superlot. Similar
superlots can be proposed for commonly paired items - like windows and glass,
window/door frames and their matching window or door, right and left wedges,
etc. When listing these items for sale in one shop, BL can simply offer sellers
the option of listing in an already existing system generated superlot. Just
fill in the blanks for quantity and price.

When a listing gets reported and action "from the above" not yet taken, highlight
that listing (in-store) in red and/or place a WARNING Icon next to it.

This way potential buyers will be aware that there is potentially something wrong
with that listing, and pay some attention to the extended description (which
is usually the reason why listings get reported).

This would open the gates for abusive reporting, but it is possible to put some
safeguards for that if you really want.

my first focus will be on monitoring the forums to address concerns and improve
communication back and forth between BL Members and Management.

I also think some people might be equating Customer Service to Forum Moderators.
If we were just adding a moderator, then it would certainly make the most sense
to use existing members of the forum for this position. However, this job requires
significantly more then that and my extensive Customer Service experience comes

If BL sees the forum as only a peer-to-peer communication location that should
be made clear.

Or that only posts in suggestions, problem, problem orders, news, help and administrative
will be monitored? Topics monitored by BL staff should be noted on the topics
page.

I think the BL forum is different than that from other game and software company
forums. And should be seen and a public communication tool for the BL team in
the way that other companies use Facebook or Twitter. And they monitor those
feeds very closely.

When a post is started by or participated in my a BL staff member I think some

tier under the specified "Min Qty" of each listing.

Another option could take into account savings if the min qty is near a bulk
tier. E.g. Seller 3 has "buy 250 or more for 0.08 each" - buying 250 from this
seller costs less than buying 240 from seller 2.

I feel that if I search for "curved 1x4" or "curved 1 x 4" then 6191 Brick, Modified
1 x 4 x 1 1/3 No Studs, Curved Top should show up in the search results. it
does if you search "curved 1 x 4 x 1".

Also, if I search for 3747, I should be able to see 3747a and 3747b. instead
I get the set 3747-1 Locomotive Gray Bricks. This is maddening when I see a
part number under a piece and type it in only to discover that there's an

Credit Card required to sell on BrickLink

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
the credit card.

The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.

Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.

I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Make a Wanted List Public

Would be nice to have the ability to make one or more wanted lists "public" so
that if a link was provided to the list other folks could see the list. This
would work similar to Amazon.com wish list in that others can see but not edit
the list.

In my mind, this would be a check box on the wanted list settings (and creation)
screen. Default would be unchecked (meaning private).

[X] Public List

It would be useful in facilitating purchases for gifts (like little Tommy wants
a bunch of batman minifigs so he adds it to his wish list so grandma can buy
one for him by viewing his list), and for facilitating trading because people
can see what the seller would like as payment for the trade items.

Everything else about the wanted list would work the same as it does now - except
that if viewing by someone other then the owner there would be no editing fields
available.

There may be an action for this that is similar and I don't know about it, but
here is my random suggestion anyway.

I operate out of two locations, one location has my personal collection (home),
and my apartment has my store. I commonly visit home and need items from my store
at my apartment. I believe it could be nice to have the ability to shop in your
own store and place an order with your self, that way you have a nice record
of everything you want to take from your own store and it would remove it from
your own store in one action. OF COURSE!! you would not be able to feedback
yourself, and this transaction would not effect the price guide, it would have
to be a separate system. For example, you build your cart in your own store,
and on the check out page select "personal order" so that your "order" is not
technically a Bricklink order. I hope this makes sense. And if something like
this exist, please let me know because I will use it like crazy!

A formal suggestion to update to the Help Desk to include:

"BrickLink is fully committed to fair and honest competition among all sellers
who use this site. Compliance with applicable laws is the best means by which
to ensure that such competition is fair and honest. Although it is not BrickLink's
job to police or enforce those laws, for the benefit of the entire BrickLink
community and to put into practice the commitment noted above, we reserve the
right to take action against any members we reasonably believe have violated
any laws to gain an unfair competitive advantage over other members. Such action
may include a warning, temporary suspension of site privileges, or termination
of membership for repeat offenders. We believe a clean honest marketplace best
serves the interests of BrickLink and all its members. If you cannot play fairly
with others, you may be asked to play elsewhere."

In addition, add "Buyer requested customs fraud" as a reason for sellers to cancel
an order AND to remove feedback (but, for feedback removal, only if the request
is made in the Order Comments or via a BrickLink message which can be easily
confirmed by Admin, or if undisputed by the buyer).

Chrome bricks, custom parts etc.

The background would then turn to RED if discussions are ongoing about individuals

When the Yellow background is up - members would be encouraged to post OFF TOPIC

When the RED background is up - free for all -- anything to change the subject

EVEN posts to e-bay LINKS selling LEGO instead of just posting all the info necessary

I suggest a committee of 3 people for Listing violations: Have the problem reports
sent to 3 members (maybe even conceal the store/user name) and let them vote.
2 votes and the listing gets removed.

I'm sure we would be able to find members for a committee of 3 or maybe 5 very
quickly and that decisions on listings would be decided very quickly.

Obviously Admin and/or the CO would be able to appoint/remove those committee
members and Admin and maybe the CO would also be able to overrule them.

Wanted list notification time out, solution 2

Topic:

Ok, I have two different ideas to solve the problems with wanted lists timing
out. Here is solution one, solution two will follow shortly, please just vote
on the one you think might be the best way to address this.

So, when a seller uploads a large number of lots, and then attempts to notify,
the system can time-out due to too many emails being sent. When a seller tries
to send the notifications, a certain number are sent, and then the system stops
them from being sent. If the seller tries again, the same number of notifications
are sent, and then the system stops them at about the same point. This appears
to the buyers that have received multible emails from said seller, that the seller
is trying to spam them, when in fact they are just trying to send out notifications
once. Here is the real problem, this seller can no longer send out correct notifications,
because the original notifications remain in the system as "unsent". If they
add more lots, and try again, it repeats the cycle shown above, sending the same
people notifications.

Please allow sellers to "clear notifications", so that if they have too many
lots to notify, they can start over, and continue to add notifications at a later
date, only for new lots.

Again, please check my other suggestion, and vote on the best idea to solve the
problem.

Thanks so much,

Adding 'pending items' to wanted list

Viewed:

Topic:

I do know 'pending items' are pending for a reason: no one offically has them
yet, Lego has not released them for sale or display. However, I'm assuming the
people who add certain 'pending items' to the catalog have inside info that the
general population doesn't have. Please let me know if I am wrong, but items
that are currently pending have a high probably of officially being released?

My suggestion would allow items pending on Bricklink (i.e. soon-to-be-released
sets) to be added to an individual's wanted list now. That way someone could
be notified as soon as someone else on Bricklink is either selling the set or
inventorying it.

Example: I'm very interested in set 8110-1 Unimog U400. When will it officially
come out? Either I have no general idea, or I've missed a thread somewhere giving
these details. Or maybe I suck at Online researching. What better, and more lazy,
idea than to let Bricklink's wanted list notifications send me a message?

Just throwing another suggestion on the table for ya'! Thanks for reading,

Let's say I'm looking for one of these:

73 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2010
Sets: Toy Story

I add it to My Wanted List as a "New" conditioned set. I also want it to be
"Complete" or "Sealed". There is no option for this, so when I look for the
set through my wanted list, I see new sets, but not necessarily complete or sealed
sets.

I have to manually check the shops to see if it's not just the "Jeep Only" or
something like that.

Do you think that we could get something that would add a sub-condition to the
filter for wanted lists?

If there is something like this already, please reply with a link and let mods

I've allocated and what's remaining.

With this feature it could be possible to better determine the full actual cost

the case today. This feature would allow shoppers to maximize the lowest price

Close & Best Price Matches For Wanted List

Viewed:

130 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

There should be an option to get both the "Cheapest Match" and "Close Match"
for your Wanted list.

Cheapest Match Idea: This would compare stores that have all of your wanted
items and meet the minimum quantity needed by total price. It could calculate
the total cost to buy all of those items at the minimum quantity from each store
within the results and compare them in order to provide the cheapest store with
the best overall price. I have seen stores that have all my items charging $600
for the parts and then seeing another store with the same parts charging less
than $150. It would be nice to know which store is the cheapest for my particular
wanted list right off the bat rather than sifting through and filling 100s of
carts with items just to find out manually.

Close Match Idea: For example if you have 3 items set with a minimum quanity
of say 30x, there could be a store that has 30x of two items wanted and only
29x of the third item and because of that the store won't show at all. When
in reality it would be helpful to use that store if there is nothing better just
to minimize the amount of separate orders needed to fulfill your needs. If it
showed close matches it would not only offer more options but would eliminate
the need to keep changing your wanted list quantities trying to find a store
that carries all of your items closest to the quantity you need. So you could
get 29 of that item and know that you only need to add 1x that part in another
order to complete your wanted list.

So you would have the following filters:

Exact Match - The current feature that will only show stores with all your wanted
items that meet the minimum requirement set.

Close Match - This would show stores that have all of your wanted items but a
few of them do not meet the minimum requirement. It could maybe calculate that
at least 90% of the items wanted meet the minimum requirement OR it could calculate
whether all of the items meet at least 80-90% of the minimum requirement. Whichever
produces the best results.

Thanks for reading.

Some of the list items also have a ranking amongst themselves. For example the

Current approach:
Use text in remarks and wanted list name to assist with priority

Ideal:
A simple low/med/high or 1 (high) to 5 (low) priority rank flag on the wanted

Ability to set the default value
Ability to use this flag in any search that involves the wanted list - e.g. by

add to wanted list by combination code

Suggestion is to be able to add parts to my wanted list using the combination
code (includes part # and color) instead of just the part number.

It would be a lot easier for data entry if we could use another field to add
items using the combination code.

So instead of having to enter 4265c and then pick a color of light bluish gray,
it would be a lot easier if I could just enter 4211573.

Also in the Lego instructions parts are listed using this combination code.
So this would be really helpful when creating wanted lists based on Lego instructions
and would save a step when building wanted lists.

Also an additional suggestion would be to add a new tag to the XML for combination
number. So in additon to using itemid, and color I could enter the combo number
and when uploaded the site would translate that into the item id and color.

The information is already in the bricklink database this just makes it available
for selection.

It would be nice if you could mass-select the Notify checkbox for all the items

For instance, I uploaded an XML wanted list (omitting the NOTIFY tag) - now I'd
like to change them all to NOT notify without having to select each item's checkbox
individually.

I could be missing a setting that dictates the default value for NOTIFY when
uploading items but this would still be a useful addition I think. Thoughts?

Just a thought, since the team isn't busy enough fixing real problems like bugs

A quick glance at the calendar shows over 10,000 lots being added per day.

Yes you can filter a search, but doing this daily, and filtering down to a small
number of potential items that might get listed once a day, week or month is
tedious and generally not worth it but makes me think - wouldn't it be good if
for sellers of sets or parts, that they could advertise in a dedicated forum
topic with drill down by sub-category as per the buying function, that they'd
uploaded something for sale.

This would help sellers and buyers alike. If everyone flooded the general sales
topic, it would be flooded, and not everyone is looking for someone's latest
mass inventory of a thousand unrelated parts.

Just a thought - what do others think?

What I (and many others) experience is the debilitating task of finding the cheapest
order (optimum number of stores with lowest piece price).

At the moment I can see who has the most parts I am looking for (assuming they
haven't multi-listed the same part - GRRR!)
or
I can see the seller with the lowest price for each part.

I can also see how many parts my favorite sellers have.
----------------------------------------------------------
What I would like to see is to use my favorite sellers (ideally an additional
"Active" sellers List).
When looking at my wanted list(s) I would like the option to show "Active" sellers
first.

Reasoning:

As I find sellers with multiple, low price parts, I can add them to my active
list.

My wanted list will show Active sellers at the top (With a Star like the by shop
listing)
Parts without active sellers are easily identified and still need an active seller
found for them.

After I have found an active seller for all (most) parts, I would then be able
to easily select the cheapest active seller for each item.

----

An extra feature could be an automatic Move to active seller wanted list.

So, my "Set10101" Wanted list could be automatically (based on lowest price)
be moved to "Set10101-SellerABC","Set10101-SellerEFG","Set10101-SellerHIJ", Wanted
lists.

More functionality:
Option to suppress items with an active seller already found.
That way I can concentrate on finding sellers for the remaining parts.

Thanks,
Dirac

Please fix the problem when you try to move a piece from one wanted list to another
that has the same item in it. Some form of a combined item option as opposed

wanted lists, find the part, change the quantity,go back to the original wanted

be nice if you had one left in your inventory but just added 350 to it to be

I would like to make the following suggestion to assist Store owners, in keeping

On the Wanted List screen, along with the current fields that are on top, please
add the following fields, for each item on the list:

Current amount in stock
Minimum to stock
Past 6 month and current Avg price

We have started to try and keep certain items in certain colors available in
our store at a set volume. Currently it is tedious at best, to click back and
forth amongst tabs to figure out what we need to order. I think something like
this would be very helpful.

Add Qty Wanted in Shopping Carts sent via MSG

Viewed:

126 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

When buyers cut and paste their shopping carts and send it to you via a BL message,
please clearly state the quantity wanted by the buyer.

This should be obvious, but I just received a shopping cart via the BL message
system where only the "quantity available" is stated, and NOT the quantity wanted
by the buyer. Here are some examples:

Lot ID: 57113348 Minifig No: sh015 Name: Iron Man with Triangle on Chest
* New Iron Man with Triangle on Chest Qty:
Qty Available: 5
Each: US $8.982
Original Price: US $9.98
Total: US $26.95
Weight: 13.8g

Lot ID: 55274261 Minifig No: lor034 Name: Tauriel
* New Tauriel Qty:
Qty Available: 4
Each: US $3.582
Original Price: US $3.98
Total: US $7.16
Weight: 8.4g

Lot ID: 57607387 Minifig No: sw440 Name: Republic Trooper 1 (75001)
* New Republic Trooper 1 (75001) Qty:
Qty Available: 8
Each: US $2.691
Original Price: US $2.99
Total: US $10.76
Weight: 16g

Lot ID: 57607388 Minifig No: sw444 Name: Republic Trooper 2 (75001)
* New Republic Trooper 2 (75001) Qty:
Qty Available: 8
Each: US $2.691
Original Price: US $2.99
Total: US $10.76
Weight: 15.96g

Lot ID: 54717639 Part No: 30274 Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 3 x 3 with Cutout
and Lion Head
* New Light Bluish Gray Brick, Modified 2 x 3 x 3 with Cutout and Lion Head Qty:
Qty Available: 16
Each: US $1.341
Original Price: US $1.49
Total: US $13.41
Weight: 37.5g

Lot ID: 56790534 Part No: 4202 Name: Brick 4 x 12
* New Light Bluish Gray Brick 4 x 12 Qty:
Qty Available: 36
Each: US $0.5135
Original Price: US $0.79
Total: US $4.11
Weight: 92g

As you can see from the above, nowhere does it state the quantity in the buyer's
cart. Instead, it states only the quantity I have available. This is very confusing
when the buyer wants LESS than the total quantity available. From the above,
the only way to determine the quantity wanted by the buyer is to manually divide
the "Total" lot price by the price for "each" item in that lot (something the
system should easily do itself automatically). Doing that, I found that my buyer
wanted only:

3 of the 5 Iron Man figures I have,
2 of the 4 Tauriel figures I have,
4 of the 8 Republic Trooper 1 figures I have,
4 of the 8 Republic Trooper 2 figures I have,
10 of the 16 lion bricks I have, and
8 of the 36 LBG 4x12 bricks I have.

I had packed ALL of these items using the "Quantity available" figure and only
noticed the buyer wanted less when I weighed the package and found it weighed
almost double what it was supposed to. Without clearly stating the actual quantity
wanted by the buyer, sellers can become misled or confused by the "Quantity available"
number. I truly don't understand why the quantity wanted by the buyer is
not clearly stated. Please fix this. Thank you.

I prefer the old way to look at the wanted list. "By Theme". I could choose by

and by how many they have. If there was a way for the site operators to add "By

Suggest: New Wanted List -- Exclude Bulk Lots

Viewed:

95 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

I've been working with the new Wanted List and Auto Finder, and it seems
to be working really well. However there is one problem that I'm not sure
how to work around. Some stores (especially in Germany) have some discounted
lots that require a purchase of 1000x, 2000x, or even 5000x.

It would be great if we can add another option on the store filters to "exclude
bulk lots". This would actually exclude only lots, not entire stores because
the store may have the same part in another lot without the multiples at a good
price. There should be a threshold setting. If the seller is selling something
by the 2's and I needed 1 or 3, I wouldn't mind if I had to purchase
an extra unit. But if I need 50x of something, auto-finding a lot with a 5000x
bulk doesn't help me.

Ideally the algorithm that optimizes price should add the extra cost of the difference
between the wanted quantity and the bulk purchase quantity. So the 5000x lot
would be too "expensive" for the auto-finder and get automatically excluded in
favor of a "cheaper" lot. That seems like a longer term more complex fix, so
the simple store filter would be sufficient for the short term.

"Add to Wanted List" order not sensible

Viewed:

87 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Hello,

The wanted list names in the left panel of the "Add to Wanted List" popup window
are apparently in order of creation date (and perhaps name modification date).

This illogic puts the most likely being added-to wanted list name, the newest
one, at the bottom of the left panel, requiring an elevator bar drag all the
way down, or initial character search entry to reach this most likely preferred
list name.

Also this illogic means the names are not in alphabetical order, requiring a
longer visual scan to find the desired name when using the elevator bar. For
example, "Parts" is one of my older purposely nondescript list names which I
still often use. So all I know right now is that it's "somewhere in the
middle" of the jumbled list names, as opposed to simply being after "O" and before
"Q" which would result in finding it more quickly.

I appreciate the new "Add to Wanted List" process, however I believe it is past
time to make sense of the order of wanted list names.

Please list them alphabetically.

Thank you, Matthew

Filter on wanted list to hide items you have

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

Maybe I'm overlooking something here, but I think it would be a great addition
to the wanted list to be able to hide items where I have the fully quantity I
need without having to go through the effort of making a second wanted list and
moving the parts I have to it. I know a lot of people do this but it just seems
like such a silly workaround.

If I'm gathering the parts for a model with a few thousand pieces across
a few hundred different types of pieces, then it would really make it easier
to sort through what I need. Even if I set my wanted list to show 100 items
per page, by the time I'm halfway through buying the parts it's a real
hassle to quickly see what parts I still need. I could easily display everything
I still need on one page if I was able to hide what I already have.

If I sort by the quantity that I have so that everything I have is listed last
then I can't sort by any other method.

new sets shouldn't be incomplete

Viewed:

205 times

Topic:

Status:

Hi,
I'm wondering why a new set can have the flag "incomplete". Talking about
a new! set means, that it is MISB or new in openend box. Everything else
are new parts that exist in several sets or maybe only in one set. But a Star
Wars set without the rare minifigs or a Maersk train set without the train can't
be a "new set".
Why is that important?
When you take a look at the price guide you often find new sets that are much
cheaper than others. But when you check the offer you see the "incomplete" mark
within the offer.
From my point of view "new set" means complete in box with instructions and ALL
parts, nothing else. For now, the price guide for "new sets" is useless because
I am able to sell a single 1x1 tile as a new set that is incomplete.
New sets with the flag "incomplete" should be listed under parts because that
is what they are - a collection of new parts from a set.
What do you think?

Change Proposal for Catalog Search/Browse Vie

Viewed:

62 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Hi! I would like to submit a Software Change Proposal (SCP) for your Configuration
Change Board's (CCB's) consideration during the next requirements review
(based on a read of your report last year, it sounds like you have a CCB and
good process in place, which is completely awesome!!!).

I'm not conversant in your page/data field names, so: When browsing or searching
the catalog, say by color, the system does not "remember" or cache the color/category
list view I select in a single login session - even if I never leave the catalog.

For example, if I'm in Catalog-Parts-Colors-Dark Blue, select Technic, Connector
part category, and change my view to Thumbnail Gallery (vs. the default List
view) and THEN click on Colors in the navbar to browse to a different color,
I have to go through view selection all over again.

While it may not sound like a big deal, there is a latency to reload the part
category page each time. And it's kind of annoying when finding part numbers
for hundreds or thousands of parts over time. Ideally, the system would remember
the user's "view" selection throughout the logged-in session, at a bare minimum,
regardless of where in the catalog they click to.

The system DOES remember your view if you use the back key to navigate back to
the main color selection page. So there is code in there that I would guess is
repulling the database on the GUI each time, which refreshes the user selection
back to default, when a user revisits a catalog section from the top navbar.

Unsure of proper wording as I'm not too conversant on your field/page terms,
but I suspect it would be something like "The system shall retain the end user's
last-selected view preference within the catalog (List, List with Images, Thumbnail
Gallery, Category Summary, or Year Summary)for each logged-in session."

Ok, that is worded pretty lousy as I reread it, sorry! I think you get the gist
though.

Thank you in advance for adjudicating this item, regardless of acceptance!

And thank you for all the hard work you and your team do for us. Bricklink has
been an invaluable resource for allowing me to part out older large sets for
assembly as part of my pain management regimen (discovering for the first time
a pure love of Legos five years ago at middle age! ) and soon, to be able
to sell all my extras to at least save a little bit of money on my new habit.

2. on the "edit items" page when you click the "part id" link can this load the

3. on the "edit items" page when you click on the "view inventory detail" link
can this open in a popup, as currently it takes you away from the edit page and
you loose any changes you've made when you go back.

4. on the "verify items" page can there be an edit button so if you find a mistake
it can be easily corrected. If you click the back button currently then you loose
all changes you've made.

Please consider showing each seller's postal code next to their state. It

The difference was only about $1.50, but that amount could add up fast when you've

Stop Wanted List Spamming for Minifigs

Viewed:

245 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Of late I am regularly getting spammed through the wanted list feature for minifigures
listed either under the wrong listing or as an incomplete "new" figure.

With the current system all figures are under the same either "new" or "used"
condition heading, but unlike sets can be listed from a few parts (everything
missing but the torso and head) or complete per the correct inventory of that
figure. This not only opens sellers to "acceptably" list wrong items, or worse
in a deceptive manner (such as the new Loki sh033a in the old Loki sh033), by
simply adding a comment like "missing cape" or "new style cape".

Clearly these are not what a buyer wants to be notified of through their wanted
list settings. Such incomplete or incorrect items also have a negative effect
toward useful sales info, or even current items for sale info. WHish is what
leads to my suggestion....

Please, can we have the same "Complete" and "Incomplete" sub-conditions for
figures like we have for sets?

This will effectively require sellers to list items accurately. If they are
not the exact item they must be listed as "Incomplete" and can then either be
excluded from search and history, or reported for misuse. Figures are a large
part of the value of a set, so if a set can't be listed without a sub-condition,
it would follow that figures (which to many are the most collectable items LEGO
makes) should have the same requirement.

Thanks for considering.

Date of parts listed within a store

Hi.

Is there any real reason WHY the date is shown when an item is listed within
a stores' inventory?

I've kept the option on when I've sold out of an item, it's retained
within my store's inventory, so that when I add more stuff, I know that of
the 2 listings that I have for that particular item (used and new), the USED
listing is always above the new, ensuring that I don't add used stock to
the NEW listing.

I can't understand why this option is there, but it does seem strange, because
when I'd first listed an item within my inventory 4 years ago, and have since
added more of that kind in the years between then and now, but to a Newbie buyer,
it will give the impression that my NEW stock is 4-6 years old, whereas it could
actually be 2 days old!

Can this feature be given the option of being updateable when new stock is actually
added to the retained listing?

Paul

Say for example, when you have over 100 feedback you are allowed access to a

Enable a viewer traffic/view counter for items in the store to give the seller
an idea how much traffic specific items are bringing to the store. Perhaps if
it's priced too high and people are not even looking at the item. This would
be counting customer traffic from either price guide and item search, not so
much from within the store. There could be monthly stats for those lots. I understand
this would be an additional task and perhaps too resource consuming for the site,
but perhaps something useful might come of it. I know some might say, if it hasn't
sold, it's priced too high. So there you go.

Buyer Point System within Store

Enable for the store to track buyer's accumulated purchase total for lifetime/period
to enable a point reward system, kind of like VIP points on S@H site. This way,
once the seller sees that a seller has purchased X amount total in the store,
he/she could offer freebies, discounts, raffle/contest point accumulation, etc.
This could be an opt in option for the seller, in case some have a problems displaying
it to their buyers, as if this expensive Lego addiction wasn't obvious already.

Remove Ability to Reply to Certain Members

Topic:

To help reduce the drama and flame wars that infect this forum, I suggest that
Forum moderators be given the ability to block a member from replying to the
posts of another member with whom they do not get along. Kind of like a forum
stoplist. Not a full forum ban; just a ban on posting replies to another member.
And not a forced ignore either. They should still able to read all posts they
want; just not be able to reply to certain ones if they have a history of not
being able to respond appropriately to that member. Furthermore, this feature
should be reciprocal. So, if the mods decide to remove the ability of Member
A to reply to posts by Member B, Member B should also be unable to reply to posts
by Member A. It takes two to tango, and it would be grossly unfair to allow Member
B to post anything they want about Member A if Member A cannot respond. So make
it reciprocal.

I don't ignore anyone in the forum. Even those I personally dislike or
do not get along with. Because regardless how I personally feel about someone,
they often post something interesting or of concern to me or my LEGO business,
and because I can still agree with them on some things. So I don't think
bans or forced ignores are the answer. Just cut off the line of communication
between the two if they cannot communicate with each other properly.

better definition for incomplete sets require

Viewed:

Topic:

Hi all,

somehow...(even bigger and experienced sellers) want to sell a set that just
isn't a set!

How much can one take from a set before it doesn't qualify as a set anymore.

After all those years of Bricklink, why aren't there easy rules for this?

I understand when a box is missing, it is incomplete, or when a few parts are
gone...it is incomplete....

But listing a set without the box, instructions, minifigs and weapons doesn't
leave more than a handfull of bricks....NOT a set!

for example:

http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&itemID=99724&advOpt=Y&sz=100&searchSort=P

when you click on only new sets.... personally I think the first 11 do NOT qualify
as a set!

And I understand when you are a newbee...perhaps you did not know the definition
of a set, but this is getting out of hand!

just my 2 cent incomplet set (it used to be a dollar set, but I took 98 cents
for own use)

be cool and have fun!

better NPB rules

Hi all,

every month we get more and more new buyers here on Bricklink... a good thing!

but...as I can see in my own shop, more and more NPB's are given.

And I think the NPB system does not work at all!

A seller who accepts the penalty can have his buying privilges revoked after
3 times....

BUT... when they just ignore the NPB, nothing happens, nothing at all! We have
to cancel the order as we do not want to pay for fees on an order that was not
paid to us...

why is it possible to ignore wthe NPB system? It should be automatically go into
NPX status after 2 weeks.

You either buy and commit yourself to this binding contract or you solve the
problem.

If a buyer kindly asks me, I cancel the order, no problem.

But ignoring me or just wasting my time deserves proper warnings!

NPB should automatically change to NPX after 2 weeks, simple as that, or solve
it properly!

Just my 2 cents (not paid yet)

Be cool and have fun!

Sorting in the shop by itemid and price

Viewed:

87 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

Many sellers list the same item several times (even in the same color and conditions).
So when I create a wishlist and then want to add all the items from the wish-list
into the shopping cart I must for each part decide what quantity I want. But
when I need 1x1 brick and I am shown a list of 50 bricks of the same color and
condition, I am only interested at the best price and finding such brick is time
consuming

I suggest that the following two functions:

1. Functionality called "Auto-Fill Car Low Price". It would behave similarly
to "Auto-Fill Cart Min", but if some part (same color and condition) is listed
several times then it would fill-in desired quantity to the item with lowest
price. Alternatively, a user could chose whether he want to ignore condition
and color - so a user could easily find the lowest condition/color part.

2. Provide possibility to sort store list of items by itemid, color and price
or by itemid and price.

Error Message Inventory Change Request

One should not be allowed to make an Inventory Change request for an item, when
there's already a request pending for the same item in the same set.

This would be good for the change request submitters ánd for the admins

The list of pending requests would be a lot smaller.

Improvement to search

Topic:

I have a suggestion which would help the search catalogue feature enormously
(from my point of view). If I am searching to identify a part in a easily recognized
colour - say white or black then I am looking at nearly all the categories that
exist to go through and unless I am quite lucky to either remember or guess I
would have to go through all of them. What if instead of just a multi column
list there were check boxes next to each category and you could choose all or
a number of to include in your search. This would cut down the time spe4nt in
trying to find the product.

If you know the category fine then go straight to it and browse the items until
you find it, but if you do not, then finding it becomes quite long winded and
tedious as well as time consuming. Hence mine and a lot of other peoples use
of the forum for identification.

Anybody else agree?

I suggest that the word "USED" on the invoice be highlighted in red or some color
so it is clearly seen when picking orders. It may be just me but I do not have
very much used Lego listed at this time and I have found myself looking for a
long time for an item in my new inventory when I finally realize it is "Used"
Today I picked new instead of used and wondered why my inventory was off in my
new items. Eleanor

Combining Batches for Pulling Orders

I might have missed this somewhere in the settings, but is there a way to consolodate
all the batches together in an order form?

It is a pain when a buyer has 5+ batches and I have to go back to the same part
of my inventory multiple times to pull parts. If it was all consolodated it
would be much easier to pull the order.

If there is not a way to do this, then it is a suggestion I would like to bring
up.

I would like to suggest for Brick Link 2.0 that the forum block goes both ways.

Not only can you not see what the other person is posting, but they cannot see

I believe that will solve a lot of disputes.

Suggestions: checkboxes to describe sellers

Viewed:

283 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

There is a lot of information about sellers that could be captured through forms
and checkboxes, instead of always relying on store terms. I suggest that all
sellers fill out a form so that we can systematically store this information.

Right now, we already have this covered for a few items:
Countries I ship to
Minimum order
Accepted currencies
Accepted payment types

We should add more:
Minimum shipping
Additional fees
* Lot fee
* Small order fee
* Payment type fee
* Handling fee
* Other fees
Expected Dispatch time from date of payment
When I leave feedback
* On payment
* On shipping
* After "Received"
* Other
How I deal with order errors
* Ship correction at my cost
* Refund
* Buyer's Choice
* Other

These are the ones I can think of that could be useful. I am sure there are others,
but this would be a great start.

I have the BL Twitter feed set for for push notifications by sms. I set this
up when the only thing being posted were downtime notifications or site updates.
Now, most of the tweets are flickr links or retweets. Those are fine I guess,
but I don't need to get a text message for every one of them, so I will be
disabling the push notifications.

I'd still like to get those site updates, though. Any chance of getting an
actual BL ADMIN feed, in addition to the current BL AFOL feed?

Please implement an macro tag in the invoice generator that returns
the estimated weight of the order (as displayed on the order details page).

I could think of several more macro tags that are not there yet, but I'll
just suggest this one. The benefits of these things:

- They can be very useful and versatile
- They are extremely easy to implement
- They do not affect BL in any way for those who do not wish to use them

Thanks

Hi,

when browsing though the "Items for Sale" pages in a store i would like to see
the quantity that i already have in my own inventory for the parts displayed
on the screen ...

Maybe somewhere on the right for each lot

So each lot will display how many are offered by the seller and i can immdiately
see how many i already have (in my store and storage A/B/C)

This will allow me to quickly identity how many parts i have and how many i will
/ can purchase

Store View Tabs Missing [SOLUTION]

Viewed:

174 times

Topic:

Status:

Discarded

(Below is the solution to fix the missing tabs problem that currently exists
on Bricklink. It is a copy of the message I sent to admin. Posting it here for
more visibility. It took me longer to make the images and type the note explaining
the solution than it took to find the problem...)

The root cause is directly related to the addition of the 'link' that
switches the pages from Engling Chinese. It forces the HTML table to take
up more space than is necessary, thus pushing the table the contains the tabs
out of the viewable area. The images show the code - it is a true (and badly
done) hack.

Anyway, enough commenaty, here is the fix:

Bricklink Developers & Admin -

Attached is an image detailing the a solution that will correct the tab rendering
(hidden tabs) problem experienced on certain browsers. The problem is a rendering
difference between browsers related to how they interpret and implement HTML/CSS.

------------------------------------------------
The Root Cause is a combination of the following:
------------------------------------------------
1 - HTML4 v HTML5 support on BL (related to Splash page problems as well)
2 - Old ASP framework code v Modern HTML/CSS standards
3 - A really bad code hack to provide the link to switch to Chinese BL (I mean
no offence - there is no other way to describe it)
4 - Insuffient testing before release.

--------
Code Fix:
--------

#1 - Change the table tag's CELLPADDING attibute from CELLPADDING="5" to
CELLPADDING="0" (It is not needed, but the 10px vertical pixels it frees up are
needed

#2 - ADD "margin:0;padding:0;" to the style attribute of the UL tag utilized
to implement the Chinese language switch (most browsers will automatically do
this, others will not until forced to. This will stop the parent table from
pushing the tabs out of the viewable space in the top frame.

#3 - Add VALIGN="TOP" to the TD tag that wraps the section containing the Store
flags. This will force the flag images to the top of the table, similar to what
is done with the BL logo

Another temp solution is to set SCROLLING="YES" for the FRAME that loads the
store banner and tabs. This would also allow folks to atleast scroll down the
tabs

The Permenant solution is to fix the code hack used to implement the Chinese
language page link. It is improperly implemented - you shouldn't be using
UL LI to create the script link, and there are better ways to align the link
beyond using 10x not-breaking spaces...

Thank you
Rodney Pearson
