| | Hello,
The Bricklink administration removed one of my selling listings. The reason was
that the parts were listed in a non existent color.
The part was actually a genuine lego part, listed in the correct color. Only
was it never released in an official set, so it does not show up in the color
guide in any set. Is it no longer allowed to list such parts? As far as i know
this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.
|
Please tell us which part it was that was removed. It could have been a mistake,
but it could have also been an unwritten rule that we have had to enforce because
of the problem of fake parts. Unfortunately we do not have a log of deletions.
|
I have an idea. If you're going to enforce a rule, then write that rule
into the Bricklink Rules and Policies. That way people will actually know
what the rules are. Enforcing unwritten rules will just create chaos and resentment.

Doesn’t that filter (pic) work for those stores?

Yes, but let's say I want to buy 50 of something, and a store I'm shopping
has a lot of 40. I will buy the 40, and then I can change the 50 to 10 in my
Wanted List. However, if another store also has 40, but they're in 20 lots
of 2 each, I won't buy from that shop. I would get the same amount, and
let's hypothetically say that the parts were even the same price as the other
store, but going through so many duplicate lots is tedious and annoying.
Additionally, if a store has a large amount of duplicate lots, it really makes
me think that that seller is quite disorganized; disorganized enough that he
could make other errors such as being short on some of the parts in an order.

The assumption is bricklink is the best possible sales interface and inventory
management system. I couldn't imagine amazon running a successful business
using this inventory system. How many inventory locations does Amazon have for
one item. The difference is Amazon has an independent inventory for stock room,
reciept of goods, shipping, order processing.
|
Okaaay... I wasn't comparing Bricklink to Amazon. I certainly don't
claim that Bricklink's inventory management system is the best possible,
but it does let sellers eliminate duplicate lots and even warns a seller when
creating a new duplicate lot.

I can't l. Won't you do it. Kirsten

Any logged in member can submit a change request, unless the site has a glitch
and is giving you an error. Since you're the one who has the physical item,
it should be you who submits the dimension information.

On the 19th I tried to add a stickered item to the catalog, and I added an image.
Should those appear in the forum, and if not, does it mean that my request did

Submitting an inventory change request does automatically generate a forum post,
but adding an item to the catalog does not generate a post.

Big maybe on that. I thought everything came out of Illinois. Mos Eisley's
were 9+ pounds and came with the GWPs in the same box. The Orient Expresses
were 7+ and came in the "ready to ship" boxes that are custom sized,
but the the GWPs came separate. Where else do they ship from in the US?

I have received Shop At Home orders from Kentucky.

So, you comic gurus out there, what is this thing in the middle of the mech's
chest?
Somehow I don't think catalog admin is going to accept "Tile, Round
3 x 3 with Round Domahickey that I think is the Power Pack".

Maybe call it an ARC reactor? I'd have to rewatch the first Ironman movie
to be sure, but I seem to remember that both Tony's and Obadiah's power
sources were ARC reactors.

A certain user (1001 bricks may know of who I speak of) went around requesting
invoices and then not paying, which is not a big deal but, he was unresponsive
when asked if he wanted to pay or cancel.
Over all this guy ordered from over 20 stores and by the time his buying privileges
were revoked, he had wasted the time of 2 dozen stores.

If the buyer's buying privileges were revoked, then there's no real need
for them to be unregistered. He shouldn't be able to bother sellers with
fraudulent orders anymore.

It's not an audio CD. It's a data disc that has a bunch of .pdf files.
