  I've read about brittle blue being a period in time where the plastic turned
'weird' i suppose for whatever reason? However in my experience as a
seller, I fully believe it is a result of exposure to sunlight and such. Nothing
more. Blue, white, yellow and grey's turn all sorts of weird shades over
time. It's inevitable... I don't understand why we always talk about
brittle blue but not brittle yellow? If the part is not the right shade i'd
just throw it in the trash.

I've had brittle blue from sealed sets where the parts have never ever seen
the light of day. There are buyers who think this makes parts used. Rather than
getting into arguments about TLG quality, I just store them separate and will
probably list them as oddities at some time.

  Good morning all,

Is there a way to send photos via the contact option? I have a potential buyer
interested in a certain minifigure and wants photos. I'm happy to oblige,
but can't figure out how to send photos. I dont have the email address so
I can't send then that way. I tried using the Help section. But was unsuccessful.
any help is appreciated.

Brian

I've never been able to that. Add the images as additional images to your
inventory (select the inventory item, click on "edit more" and then "upload image")
or ask that person to send you his/her e-mail address so you can send the images
direct.

Optionally included where?

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=22


  It is a mandatory field out of Brickstock for an xml
update inventory. The only time lot numbers come into it are if you wish to update
existing inventory. Niek is right - the system is doing a lookup to pick up the
description so it can look up the product id quite easily.

It performs a lookup on the category only, nothing else.

  Yes according to Bricklink
we sell lots but according to reality we sell items which make up lots.

In reality there has never been a single catalog item sold on BL Mind blowing
I know, but download your orders with full detail - there is no such thing in
the catalog as a "Red Technic, Brick 1 x 14 with Holes" as a separate catalog
item, yet that is the only description on your invoice.

  The fact
that this platform has no real inventory system available to stores does not
mean we cannot look at elements of the catalogue when we are bringing in data.
A schema would clearly e4stablish this - Product ID cannot be duplicated and
therefore can be read easily when a lookup to that table is done.

What do you mean by Product ID - the lot ID or the catalog item ID? These are
two different things altogether and bear no relation to each other.

  
If I modify the xml file we created when we export xml to Clipboard - the mass
upload will not work - we get an error message that the file format is invalid.
If I put the itemid back in it works.

Export with a comment and delete the item field again, it will work. You could
conceivably list your entire inventory without a single catalog item id.

  
Whilst I am confident nothing will happen over this suggestion it would be welcome
for BL to comment.
