Suggestion from Matt of White Horse Bricks, in response to my query below:
It would be great if they could be listed against each other as 'alternate
part numbers' in the same way as some parts do.

It would need to be in a way that the search engine and wanted lists point to
both so that people searching in sets get the part listing and vice versa.

Original Question from OOO_Shiny:
I have several new, sealed power functions pieces. They have a set number, and
then a different part number, but it is the same single item.

Examples

 
Set No: 8886  Name: Power Functions Extension Wire (20cm)
* 
8886-1 (Inv) Power Functions Extension Wire (20cm)
1 Part, 2008
Sets: Power Functions
contains only
 
Part No: 60656  Name: Electric, Power Functions Extension with one Light Bluish Gray End (length 20cm)
* 
60656 Electric, Power Functions Extension with one Light Bluish Gray End (length 20cm)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

and


 
Set No: 8883  Name: Power Functions M-Motor
* 
8883-1 (Inv) Power Functions M-Motor
1 Part, 2008
Sets: Power Functions
contains only part
 
Part No: 58120c01  Name: Electric, Motor 9V Power Functions M with Dark Bluish Gray Bottom
* 
58120c01 Electric, Motor 9V Power Functions M with Dark Bluish Gray Bottom
Parts: Electric, Motor

If a buyer is looking for the part, will the single part set also appear? If
not, how do I suggest an addition to the listings pointing out that they are
the same?

Also an issue for

 
Set No: 8870  Name: Power Functions Light
* 
8870-1 (Inv) Power Functions Light
1 Part, 2008
Sets: Power Functions
and

 
Set No: 8871  Name: Power Functions Extension Wire (50cm)
* 
8871-1 (Inv) Power Functions Extension Wire (50cm)
1 Part, 2009
Sets: Power Functions

I don't agree that a seller should be able to modify a listing date.

Aren’t sellers already able to do that by removing the lot then creating a new
one?


Yes, and if you "churn" inventory, downloading all, editing, and re-uploading,
all the dates change to the re-upload date. We do this every 6 months or so
to update pricing, so the dates are irrelevant.

  I often check both the set value and part out value of a set before parting it

set as a whole too?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. When you are on the Price Guide
page, where you key in the set number on the right side to get part out value,
look to the left side of the page, under "View Price Guide Info". The Item Type
drop down menu has an option for "Set". You can key in the set number and get
the price guide/average sales value of the set as a whole.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Some have: http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=173897

Yes, I’m learning to search in forum posts

That seems to be a skill I should develop.
This seems to be my third post this week that would have been answered with a
search. Apparently, my thoughts aren't as original as I think they are!

I would love to have checkboxes for "no additional fees" and "charges actual
postage only" when searching to buy, both individual items and for the wanted
list search. Alternatly, a max additional fee amount would be good. And a pipe
dream of "shipping included", since I don't know if any other stores are
offering this.

It would let me (and my customers) know if the store I'm looking at is *really*
offering the lowest price, or if they are going to tack on several dollars worth
of lot fees, handling fees, packaging fees, etc. In which case, the forth, fifth,
or tenth store down the list would be a better deal for me. Yes, I can find
this info in the store terms, but I have to go through each one to do so.

If I had checkboxes for
[] No additional fees
[] Free shipping

I am sure that it would drive many more customers to my store, who never get
to see OOO_Shiny pop up in their search results otherwise.

It would also encourage more stores to have these policies, which I really believe
benefit the customers, and would improve the overall bricklink experience.

Thanks for consideration and feedback.

Since we pick before invoicing, we have a designated shelf for "Invoiced and
awaiting payment". It doesn't matter to us if an order sits there for a
few extra days while an e-check clears, if that makes it easier for our customers
to decide to buy from us.

And yes, I WOULD really like a "Payment pending" status option, since I have
had 2 of our e-check buyers not realize that their payment was being held by
paypal when I sent them a "Hey, FYI, shipment will be delayed while payment clears"
email.

I've had a few situations where I would like the opportunity to attach an
image to messages to other members. Usually to confirm that the condition of
a used part is acceptable to my customer and/or is the color they are looking
for, and occasionally to send a photo of my cat.

Would anyone else find value in this functionality?

Thanks,
OOO_Shiny
