Your reply, while technically correct, does not tell the whole story. The searches
you picked were sufficient to key on the home page of BL. They were not specific
enough to actually find something of interest.

Do we really want the Google searches bringing people to the specific catalog
page for the item? I sure don't. I assume that those who want better Google
search results want to attract new customers (new to BL entirely, not just new
to their store.) Someone new to BL would be much better off at the main homepage
instead of a catalog page. That way they can explore the site from the main
starting point. I believe that would lead to a better intro-to-BL experience
and curb many frustrating experiences for both new buyers and sellers.

| I would say yes, but at 20¢ or 25¢ instead of 10¢. Also, would this minimum
amount have to be decided differently for each currency? (10¢ in USD might convert
to a really odd threshold amount in other currencies if it were a flat amount
across the board.)

This problem is solved by http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/96728

That looks very useful for those who know how to use that kind of thing. 
Could you delete the country codes out of the source code and leave just the
countries you ship to without any adverse effects?

It already exists. Go to http://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp and check the
"Non-Unique" box on the right. Then click the Go button.

Just make a "Note on order" like "Cash at LUG".

Yes, they can do that if they want, but sometimes my friends from my LUG actually
do pay me with PayPal, so there would be an actual use for a special payment
option. I once had a friend who ordered parts from me, and I was going to see
him in about 2 weeks. He wanted to pay by PayPal and have me ship the parts
to him because he needed them to finish a MOC he was working on. It would be
nice to have a Cash payment option available to just certain people so that when
they choose their payment method I could be sure of how they want to do the transaction.

| I don't think that this exists yet, though I could be wrong. I searched the
Help section and couldn't find anything about it.
I think it would be useful to have a password-guarded option to let certain
people pay a seller by a method that is not available to other buyers.
My store has PayPal, Cashier's Check and Money Orders as payment methods. Just
today I had a person, who I've been friends with for years in my own LUG, order
from me. Typically when he orders from my Bricklink store, I bring the parts
to our next LUG meeting, and he pays me in cash. My store doesn't accept cash
as a payment type (which is pretty typical here). My friend has to click one
of the 3 payment types to let the order go through, despite the fact that he
knows he won't be paying by that method.
Now you may be thinking, "Why don't you just add 'Cash' as a payment type in
your store? Only the people who are going to see you in person to pick up their
order would click that payment method." Yeah...that should be how it
would work. I have a feeling that if I add "Cash" to my payment methods, someone
would inadvertently click that payment type, when that's not really what they're
going to use.
If this suggestion is implemented, I could add Cash and Check as payment options
to my store, and give out the password only to members of my LUG. I would set
the other 3 payment types to be the default set of payment options in my store
and not require a password. Then there should be no mixups when people who I
will never see in person or newbies select how they want to pay.

| You can't change price on items that have already been placed in a person's cart.
If a buyer's shopping your store and places an item in their cart, you could
double the price on it while they're still shopping, but when they check out,
it will be the same price as when they placed it in their cart. Placing an item
in a cart "locks in" the price. Of course, if a buyer closes their browser,
empties their cart or something like that, then when they come back, the price
will be different.
Now let's say a buyer places half of a lot (5 out of 10 pieces) in their
cart, and while shopping, you change the price on that piece. If that buyer
decides that the 5 in their cart isn't enough and they want all 10, but the last
5 are placed in their cart after you changed the price...then gosh, I'm
really not sure what happens then. I think Bricklink self destructs or something.
Anyone out there know?

| How would Bricklink know if they've moved on or not? There have been multiple
times when I was shopping a seller's store, didn't have time to finish, left
my browser open, and then added more parts and submitted the order the next day.

| I vote YES! This is a great idea. However, there ought to also be an option
that a seller can check some box to have that not show up, if they want.
