Since we are talking about stickers, I see incomplete sticker sheets listed as
"new" as well on occasion.
Since there isn't an "incomplete" option, they should be considered "used"
IMHO.

How would I list an element like this if you disabled new?  Totally agree on
the applied aspect but a generic limitation may not be the way.

Agreed. A box cannot be new if it has been opened! Now, if you have a sealed
box and you have magically transported the contents out of the box without opening
it, then I would make an exception and it can be listed as 'new'.

Or you if you get them directly from LEGO (or their supplier) before they are

Unless in that case you call them “pre-new” or “not-even-new-yet”

If someone actually got unused boxes from lego that is the only case where they
are actually new since they were not used for their intended purpose.

"Pet Peeve d'jour"
I'm sure you're not peeved daily, Lisa
We're talking about adopting a dog, as my son has out grown his allergy.
If we do, what do you think about naming our new pet, Peeve?
But seriously, it makes sense what you're proposing
|
Oh, my gosh. Get a lab! I had German Shepherds for over 30 years, and we finally
let my son, Daniel, have a choice. He wanted a lab, so we found someone with
lab puppies and he chose a yellow one and named him Archer. He has been with
us almost 4 years and he is the happiest dog I know! I take him to the dog park
almost daily (it is very close to the post office!) and I love to watch him play
with other dogs, or just to play with me: he loves tennis ball, frisbee, tug
toys, etc. A really good, friendly family dog! (and doesn't have the double
coat shedding that the German Shepherds have!)
|
Dogs ARE the best, especially labs
My son, daughter & I like all dogs! But we did grow to LOVE a certain Dachshund
that was in our care while the owners were out of country. Hung with us on all
of our back country hikes in Utah, if you can believe that. So, any dog that
needs a home, but if we stumble upon a Dachshund, well you know...

| I'm 100% in agreement with you that a piece with a sticker on it is considered
used. But for example, say I have a sheet of stickers from a set that are unused
and I cut out each individually and sell the brand new piece with its unused
sticker along with it? It's similar to the Special Assemblies where they
are separated from the complete set and require their stickers to be cut from
the original sheet. I feel that the New option should still exist, but only used
for that specific case (as rare as it may be).

| When searching for a part, it would be useful if the items for sale list could
highlight, prioritise, or otherwise indicate stores for which I already have
an open cart.
Ideally I'd like stores with open carts to be at the top of the list, with
an 'add to cart' button with a quantity entry box, to just add the item,
without going into the store page.

| In Suggestions, cosmicray writes:
| | Currently, BrickLink does not support USPS zones, nor has there been any public
indication it is being implemented. Up until now, the ability of Instant Checkout
to calculate correct destination shipping within the USA has been compromised
for Priority Mail (custom packaging), but not for USPS First Class Parcel.
BrickLink has supported the existing USPS First Class Parcel and the existing
"flat rate" Priority Mail boxes (small/medium/large) because zone calculation
was not needed.
With the 27 January 2019 USPS rate change imminent, we (the sellers) have no
automated method of calculating the correct First Class Parcel rates, because
a zone calculation will be needed.
The calculation of zone is documented at DMM 608.9.0 (in it's entirety).
If BL chose not to use the USPS API calls to get the zone number for a given
shipment, it is possible to calculate it based on great circle distances. See
the explanations for more detail.
Since BL has chosen to not use the API callbacks provided by USPS, they have
instead opted for database rate tables (which have to be manually reloaded each
time USPS changes the rates). The current table contains the 2017 rates. It was
never updated to reflect the 2018 rates.

As a former code monkey, in my experience, this may have been a lazy or inexperienced
programmer who didn't think far enough ahead on their process to realize
that these prices were fluid. IMHO, they should have written a few additional
calls to the USPS API to check prices and make changes periodically but also
to send an email alert to the development group (not individual programmer) if
changes need to made that it could not be done automatically and would need to
be addressed by a human.
Either that or it was a contractor that left it, knowing it would break eventually
and they would get the call, and hours, to come back and update it.
Or they just made a quick shipping chart in 2017 and did absolutely nothing with
the API
Either way it needs to be addressed and automated.

Perhaps you can change the way you work, because in my routine this is absolutely
no problem, and it's unlikely that Bricklink will change or upgrade anything.
|
In what way? For instance tonight I parted out three copies of two different
sets, which is done by sorting all the parts from each set into their individual
lots and then packing them away using the remarks system to tell me which drawers
the lots go into.
Is there an easier way than going through the whole process each time for each
unique set you part out? If there is I've been wasting a lot of time over
the past three years. I can't see why there can't be a function that
will allow adding multiple sets of multiple quantities to inventory at once without
having to rely on third party applications given there are almost always common
lots contained in different sets. The BrickLink catalogue knows what is contained
in each set, so surely it's just a simple matter of combining set inventories
much like it does when you part multiple quantities of the same set. In regards
to someone's comments on errors, what possible additional errors would occur
that don't already, besides possibly knowing which set any discrepancy came
from? In any case it's pretty simple to amend what you're putting into
inventory if you have more or less of something than what the BrickLink catalogue
suggests you should have.
|
Aha, it's because of remark based sorting.. I've never tried it and never
know how it really works. I always assumed people use software to generate the
locations or something because it seems like an awful lot of work to do it
manually. And I think you must be able to view where the part currently is located,
in case you already have it in you inventory... I'm sure there are tutorials
about this, since it's the first time I see this request, there must be a
work around.
|
It's pretty simple really. Every lot has a location and that location is
contained in the remarks field. If you get new lots not currently in inventory
you simply assign them to a new empty drawer. It's a much more space efficient
way of storing parts because you're not having empty drawers assigned to
parts you no longer have, and can easily move stock to bigger drawers (or smaller
ones) as lot quantities fluctuate and it allows me to currently store about 220,000
parts in about 10,000 lots in only 2112 drawers.

In Spain, and in many other countries, there are different regions with different

is usually different (more expensive) than to mainland spain.
As for now, I can't set it up for automatic checkout, and i just need to

I'm very new to selling, but a web developer myself, so any tips welcome.
Do you just embed one into your terms/splash page?

The visitor counter is totally flawed and should not be used as an indicator
of visitors. If you press and hold the F5 Ker whilst in your store, or anyone
else does, you can make the counter jump horrendously.
We went from 60000 visitors a long time ago to 250,0000 overnight and you know
that cannot be real.
We had our web designer deal with this and now use our own counter, which many
other people also do.
It is a shame really as it appears Bricklink use Google analytics and could provide

Good luck with your suggestion but without a radical change to the way the Bricklink
one currently works it is not helpful information.

Perhaps you can change the way you work, because in my routine this is absolutely
no problem, and it's unlikely that Bricklink will change or upgrade anything.

In what way? For instance tonight I parted out three copies of two different
sets, which is done by sorting all the parts from each set into their individual
lots and then packing them away using the remarks system to tell me which drawers
the lots go into.
Is there an easier way than going through the whole process each time for each
unique set you part out? If there is I've been wasting a lot of time over
the past three years. I can't see why there can't be a function that
will allow adding multiple sets of multiple quantities to inventory at once without
having to rely on third party applications given there are almost always common
lots contained in different sets. The BrickLink catalogue knows what is contained
in each set, so surely it's just a simple matter of combining set inventories
much like it does when you part multiple quantities of the same set. In regards
to someone's comments on errors, what possible additional errors would occur
that don't already, besides possibly knowing which set any discrepancy came
from? In any case it's pretty simple to amend what you're putting into
inventory if you have more or less of something than what the BrickLink catalogue
suggests you should have.

Would it be possible for Bricklink to implement a 'Report' button, or

Perhaps a link at the bottom of each thread? (I actually think that I reported

And I would say that is fine, adding on a dollar or so for additional costs is
reasonable. And I imagine most buyers here would agree with that. I can see that

What you are proposing would ban that user from leaving poor feedback about shipping
costs. However, it wouldn't just ban users where the additional costs are
not too severe, but it would also ban users from leaving poor feedback where
the shipping costs have been massively inflated at the checkout for profit rather
than be based on realistic costs.
Remember not everyone knows the sizes of parcels, the cost structures of international
postal companies based on weight and size, the weight of the packaging a seller
is using, and so on. Sellers need to be believed that they are selecting the
right postal service for a package and are charging honestly for it. If buyers
cannot leave feedback about postage costs just because they already agreed to
them up front, then I imagine it would be abused. Sellers could make out a parcel
is large, charge for a high shipping band, then send it via a cheaper one and
tell the buyer they agreed to it so they cannot complain.
I prefer a feedback structure where sellers can be outed if they do wrong, even
if it means one person every so often complains about something when they probably
shouldn't have.
Does one neutral feedback in a few hundred damage a seller? No.
Does stopping buyers from commenting on whether they think someone is a fair
seller damage the marketplace? Yes.

Fully agree on this one. We must use common sense and reason. Reasonable buyers
will not complain about small things, like the little bit more expensive shipping,
the small extra handling fee, the little fee for packaging material and the like.
This will also extend to the conditions of parts and the quality of packing.
Of course there are the complainers which will always find something to complain
about. But I think they are a minority here on BL and it would be unreasonable
and actually way over the top if the feedback system would be changed just to
stop these few from posting unfair feedback. The feedback system must however
still leave a possibility to post a warning in case of the stores that really
make purposedly profit on fees rather than on Lego. This is a Lego marketplace
and not a fees markedplace.

Feedback reflects the feelings of the person who left it. It only damages the
reputation of the seller if you think many others (buyers) will see it in the
same way as that particular buyer in which case it is valuable feedback..

You are not amazon though. Most sellers here charge reasonable postage charges
and most buyers can accept that if a seller says it is going to cost $X to post
it will cost that. Some charge exact shipping, some charge a little more. I don't
think anyone really cares about the small incidental expenses.
Imagine there are three postage bands for the weight of the item you have purchased,
one costing £2.95, one £5.05 and the last one £12.12, and the cost depends on
the size of the item. I use these as they are real examples here, but of course
it is complicated in that other options are available. But you don't know
the size of the item. Now if the seller tells you it will cost £14 to post, it
seems to the buyer that this is going to have to go as a large parcel, with a
little extra to cover incidental costs. So they argree and pay. Then when it
arrives, the buyer can see that the seller was able to use the £2.95 band, the
extra was there as profit for the seller. You agreed to the postage costs upfront,
so you cannot complain that the seller overcharges for postage. How do you feel
when you realise the seller quotes based on something that looks like the top
band for large parcels, then uses a lower one for smaller parcels?
Would you prefer for buyers to contact you before ordering and ask why the postage
is so high, for what the buyer thinks should be a small parcel, but you are being
charged a large parcel?

It depends. If a seller charges $10 for postage through IC then it turns out
the actual cost was $2, I'd be pretty annoyed and would leave feedback reflecting
that. In that case the seller is not without fault, so why should the buyer have
their feedback removed in that case?
|
Because the buyer knew the cost of postage when he ordered. If he didn’t like
it he shouldn’t have continued with the order.
(By the way, we are totally against instant check out!)

Of course the customer accepted that would be the cost for postage, but then
later found out it was not true and that the seller is overcharging for postage
via IC. Should other buyers be warned about that? In my view, yes.
|
No warning is necessary through feedback as that information is available at
checkout. We’re all adults here and should be capable of making sound decisions
on our own. Additionally, I’d say the “actual” cost is rarely the actual cost.
The label may have cost $2, the baseline price is closer to $3.50 for USPS first
class,but there are certainly many more considerations when calculating shipping
(cost of materials, labels, tape, box or envelope, fuel and time to drop it off
(if I live 30mins from a post office my real costs may be higher than yours if
you’re close to a drop off)). Yes, $10 for shipping on a $2 label would probably
be excessive but we’re not talking about excessive here, nor should it matter
since it was what was agreed on with the buyer. Any poor feedback left is just
unreasonable.
|
Just because you are told something up front doesn't mean you shouldn't
comment on it.
For example, sellers often say something along the lines of "New doesn't
mean mint, new parts may have scratches" in their terms. If a seller sends out
heavily scratched new parts, should the buyer be allowed to comment via feedback?
After all, they agreed that parts may be scratched when they placed the order.
|
I must agree with what the others have said... you see what you pay, you can
agree or disagree. I don't see why your stance would shift from agree to
disagree if you found out that what you paid was spent relatively less on postage
and more handling than you had imagined.
If everything should be priced according to what it reasonably costs, you should
also argue that a Star Wars minifig priced €20 should be a reason for negative
feedback as it only costed the seller €1. I'm really not big on capitalism
at all, but in this case I really must say the added value is a product of the
market mechanism and as long as people are willing to pay it, that by definition
makes it a fair price for it.
A seller could make some contract with a company to somehow get totally free
postage, and that would leave him with no direct obligation to charge less or
nothing for shipping to the buyers. They could charge €5, just as a handling
fee, if they wanted.
I do see though how extremely high fees - while legitimate - frustrate the buying
process. Ideally, the search results would display the price of the part and
then directly underneath "have this part at home for ..."

We’re not talking about a difference of opinion with regards to something that
is subjective. Though I think poor feedback should only be given in that situation
if the customer doesn’t receive good customer service to resolve the discrepancy.
But rather a customer making the determination after the fact that the charges
weren’t reasonable. Knowing full well what they were going to be going in. It
would be more akin to buying used parts and complaining they weren’t new, than
having a difference of opinion on their condition.

So would you tell the buyer upfront that the "postage" charge is broken down
into $1 for this, $1 for that, and another $2 for this, and so on? So that they
know you are adding lots of other charges into it.
Sometimes I don't know what something will cost to post, as I don't have
it in hand. If a seller tells me it is going to cost what a large parcel costs
to post, I assume it is a large parcel and agree to it. If it later turns out
it wasn't a large parcel and was posted for a much lower price then I feel
conned that I was overcharged for postage, even though I agreed to it. Leaving
feedback saying this in that case is justifiable.

into $1 for this, $1 for that, and another $2 for this, and so on? So that they
know you are adding lots of other charges into it.
Sometimes I don't know what something will cost to post, as I don't have
it in hand. If a seller tells me it is going to cost what a large parcel costs
to post, I assume it is a large parcel and agree to it. If it later turns out
it wasn't a large parcel and was posted for a much lower price then I feel
conned that I was overcharged for postage, even though I agreed to it. Leaving
feedback saying this in that case is justifiable.

Because the buyer knew the cost of postage when he ordered. If he didn’t like
it he shouldn’t have continued with the order.

Of course the customer accepted that would be the cost for postage, but then
later found out it was not true and that the seller is overcharging for postage
via IC. Should other buyers be warned about that? In my view, yes.

No warning is necessary through feedback as that information is available at
checkout. We’re all adults here and should be capable of making sound decisions
on our own. Additionally, I’d say the “actual” cost is rarely the actual cost.
The label may have cost $2, the baseline price is closer to $3.50 for USPS first
class,but there are certainly many more considerations when calculating shipping
(cost of materials, labels, tape, box or envelope, fuel and time to drop it off
(if I live 30mins from a post office my real costs may be higher than yours if
you’re close to a drop off)). Yes, $10 for shipping on a $2 label would probably
be excessive but we’re not talking about excessive here, nor should it matter
since it was what was agreed on with the buyer. Any poor feedback left is just
unreasonable.
|
Just because you are told something up front doesn't mean you shouldn't
comment on it.
For example, sellers often say something along the lines of "New doesn't
mean mint, new parts may have scratches" in their terms. If a seller sends out
heavily scratched new parts, should the buyer be allowed to comment via feedback?
After all, they agreed that parts may be scratched when they placed the order.

Please don’t take this as condescending in any way. I really do want to better
understand the community.
I’d really like to know if this mindset applies to other places too. I’ve honestly
never had anyone complain about shipping in any other place I’ve sold items online
other than here on bricklink. It seems to me to be a unique perspective that
is limited to BrickLink and nowhere else. That the cost of the label and not
a penny more is all that is reasonable to be charged for an item. There are so
many costs associated with a purchase that it doesn’t make sense to me to individually
itemize everything on a per transaction basis and rather just roll it all into
a single s/h charge. Honestly, when I first started using BrickLink it was entirely
too complicated to figure out what the costs were going to be before making a
purchase I avoided it for buying more often than not. So, as a seller now, I
try to make it as simple as possible for any perspective buyers by having a single
charge upfront and available for them to see and know before buying. Rather than
having complex tables and numerous fees to try and add up before committing to
the purchase.

It still doesn’t warrant damaging the reputation of the seller. The buyer didn’t
“not love it” enough to go to another seller or not make the purchase. It’s an

I’d rather say that:
1. Sellers saw how the MOC Shop faired.
2. Sellers understand that MOCs are a niche market. Best-sellers are very rare.
Even MOCs-that-sell are rare.
3. Sellers understand that MOCs require much work (as you yourself noticed) and
they prefer buyers to do it themselves.
As for the prices, look at the constraints on parts for the “AFOL Design Contest.”
Even with a partnership with TLG, the sets will be around 10¢/part. More than
TLG’s sets when you consider there won’t be (new) prints nor recolouring nor
new parts nor expensive licences.
(Curious to see how many of the finalists will reach the crowd funding limit.)
And about Studio:
1. Most sellers don’t see what it could bring them as sellers (see MOC Shop,
see Mosaick).
2. Some (many?) think the efforts put to make Studio would have been better spent
of the main website.
(At least, Studio can compete (and win) with similar programs on many points.
That was not the case with Mosaick  )

Of course Lego official sets are easy to spot, but who really knows about all

sell the instructions for that MOC.
That way they get some money off their creations.

like many of people around here I guess, I have played with many Lego sets when
I was younger, then get back to it just a while back, awesomeness still as fresh
as before .
That could be a good idea, there is also MOCshop or something similar but there,

!)

On the other hand, there is no official reference for gallery item so it is just
impossible to exactly match a design unless using the internal model ID
(ex: https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/model.page?idModel=71193).
I'll looking forward to what people think about this.

| Currently, BrickLink does not support USPS zones, nor has there been any public
indication it is being implemented. Up until now, the ability of Instant Checkout
to calculate correct destination shipping within the USA has been compromised
for Priority Mail (custom packaging), but not for USPS First Class Parcel.
BrickLink has supported the existing USPS First Class Parcel and the existing
"flat rate" Priority Mail boxes (small/medium/large) because zone calculation
was not needed.
With the 27 January 2019 USPS rate change imminent, we (the sellers) have no
automated method of calculating the correct First Class Parcel rates, because
a zone calculation will be needed.
The calculation of zone is documented at DMM 608.9.0 (in it's entirety).
If BL chose not to use the USPS API calls to get the zone number for a given
shipment, it is possible to calculate it based on great circle distances. See
the explanations for more detail.
Since BL has chosen to not use the API callbacks provided by USPS, they have
instead opted for database rate tables (which have to be manually reloaded each
time USPS changes the rates). The current table contains the 2017 rates. It was
never updated to reflect the 2018 rates.

it's a pretty good idea, I'm facing another annoying concern as I have
a wanted list, pick some parts here, some parts there, then I got a few carts
with most probably duplicate parts on them with various prices and status.
The only way I found to deal with this is to open tabs on brower and compare
carts lot by lot, very very time consuming and error prone.
It would be great to get the benefit of using a DB like this:
pick cart A, B, D, F, G
click on a compare button
get a report page (like cart/wnated list) with parts quantity, price differences,
... then
choose in which cart we want to get parts then a single update (on each row or
global for all carts) to get super optimized carts .

| The 'stores' part of BL needs to be redesigned. I think that the site
itself is marvelous in all of the complex things you can do with it, but, the
storefronts need to change. It doesn't look good to new buyers, and you can't
expect all new buyers to go and read 2000 help pages, no one does that! They'll
just say 'this is too hard' and leave the site and forget about lego.
A lof of times I have found interesting things online that I might have purchased
if the site looked legit or was simpler. Buying hundreds of different parts is
difficult as is, we need to try to make it as less of a burden as possible for
a new buyer, so the learning curve is not as steep. You could start easy by buying
and then look into the "darker" parts of the site.

Change your setting so that buyers under 5 feedback have to use instant checkout.
It removes a lot of these problems.

|
| Hi,
Thanks for this great service!
As customer, buyer only, I salute the fix done to part adding to wishlist, when
chosing some attribute reset other attribute.
Still, there are several things to be corrected according to my flow.
One would be the moving parts to another wishlist, when some part already exists
in the same colour and a message saying already exists prevents that. I would
need a button added to that message to add the number of selected parts to the
list, if I decide so (meaning I did not duplicated an entry by mistake, but I
need more).
Another is the maintenance page. It overrides the browser's history and I
loose the page were I was. Definitely, in each case, I need to go back to it
when the maintenance is done.
Please take into account these suggestions.
Thank you and best regards,
Mike

You can do this in Brickstock, open two unique files and copy one into another.
you would have multiple sets in a single file to upload.

Perhaps you can change the way you work, because in my routine this is absolutely
no problem, and it's unlikely that Bricklink will change or upgrade anything.

Hi there - voted no but need to explain. The part out log as it stands at present
isn't really much value. It needs to incorporate the transaction detail (which
it holds) before it would be worthwhile downloading it. The only thing it contains
at present is the set id and the date you parted it out.
But, again, unfortunately nothing is going on on the classic site whatsoever
- all development effort is being utilized on Bricklink XP (or whatever they
end up calling it).

| You can part out multiple of the same set at once by adjusting the quantity of
sets parting out.
However, I don't know of a way (on Bricklink) to part out multiple different
sets in one fell swoop.

Cool idea, but difficult to implement. And there are privacy issues.
The Canadian zip code database runs over 760,000 records; most of them geolocate
to stationary moose, uninhabited parts of the Yukon, and what have you. I don't
recall exactly, but I think their process was to basically put a grid over the
entire land mass of the country, divide it up into little squares, and assign
a code to each square.
The US zip code database, covering a population several times that of Canada
runs only about 42,000 records and the codes cover arbitrary regions roughly
equivalent to towns, and some post offices that don't offer delivery have
their own code.
Typically these zip codes are associated with a longitude and latitude, and these
data files can be acquired from the post office and maybe other sources.
Then there is some math and code to figure out the "as-the-crow-flies" distance
between two zip codes' associated coordinates.
I don't know that the entire globe...or all the areas serviced by BL...have
these databases. Could be. Just never built one of these things other than US/Canada.
Anyway, bottom line is you need the longitude and latitude of every store...or
something reasonably close. The coding is a bit tricky. And it may have to be
broken into hemispheres because of the math for triangulation over a sphere.
If folks want to publish their longitudes and latitudes, then you can find the
distances with Google Earth or something similar. I'd guess most of the mom-and-pop-hobby-shop
operations aren't going to be enthusiastic about posting their residential
coordinates for the world to see, though.

I think this is a great suggestion, Mike. Dynamic and pragmatic, with little
to no downside as proposed.
Reoccurring ideas such as this, come to mind when I receive orders with shipping
addresses not much further away from our home than our post office  Receiving
orders with shipping addresses not far from my brother's home in Sweden,
also has brought this to mind.
I assume, given initiator of the site-suggestion has a IT background, it must
be doable?

I would add that eBay has had something like this in place, for some time now.
I've taken advantage of it a few times.

No, I usually give feedback but people are a bit harsh when it comes to getting
a neutral so in the cases where I think positive is to good and neutral is a
bit harsh, I usually don't leave any and just archive the order.
Any automatic system would be required to give out neutral votes. and few sellers
would want that on their store feedback %.
The only thing the feedback system need is longer feedback notes. 80 characters
is not enough to give a small review of the order and tell what was good/bad
with it. it's just enough for a positive only review.

I can see how many orders your store has filled if I need to see it.
I wish we had an automated tool to stop people from obsessing about their feedback
score and customers not leaving feedback. If you are trying to figure out how
to catch up to the 5 digit people, don't forget that they also have customers
not leaving them feedback.

This suggestion would remove the option to not leave feedback which is a middle
ground between leaving positive feedback for a good experience and leaving either
neutral or negative feedback knowing it will penalise a seller. I can't see
any point to this except to pacify those who worry that others don't leave
them feedback. Perhaps those people would be better off not worrying so much
about it or being a bit more introspective.

No thanks for this one, sorry but if a buyer (or seller) does not leave FB it
does not mean the transaction was positive. Many choose not to leave FB if they
were not completely satisfied as they are worried about retaliation FB if they
leave non positive.
Overall FB is optional, it is not a requirement that FB is left for every order.
Elsewhere (other shopping sites eg Amazon) I rarely leave FB for purchases unless
the experience was particularly good or bad. On here I only want to receive positive
FB if the buyer chose to leave it otherwise it would mean nothing to me and I'd
have no idea what my customers think of my service.

If feedback would be posted automatically, then we can abandon the feedback system
right away because it makes no sense at all. How can the system decide / judge
automatically if the customer was satisfied? For example, I am very reluctant
as a buyer to post negative or neutral feedback even when I am not too happy
with an order. In such cases I simply do not leave any feedback.
