| | It would be helpful if you could set the colour of items in a Wanted List to
"I don't care" or "any".
Sometimes you want to build something but really don't care what colour the
pieces are; e.g. an internal structure or some sort of technic mechanism; you
just want them to be as cheap as possible.
With this option when you searched stores for parts it would ignore colour, but
still select based on cost and volume etc.

Yes that is possible, But I doubt this part being present in this set, this large

I have a couple of questions before I can approve this change:
(1) Did you build this set from sealed set contents or was it obtained as a used
set?
(2) If you built it from sealed set contents, were the pieces always left unmixed
with other sets?
Thanks for your assistance!

Sorry should have clarified when submitted...
Its a set from childhood collection that has been built since then (actually
half broken down but the wheel assemblies with slopes on top were all intact)
No other sets from collection had these slopes.

It's just a guide.
If sellers want to use it to actually price their listings to the averages they
accept its not 100% perfect.
Otherwise sellers should just see it for what it is and adjust their prices/set

I am still fairly new to BrickLink, but my guess would be that there was 2 line

Has previously been changed then removed from set.

| | I found this in my inventory last week. The first is these new brackets. The
brick with clip is normal Dark Bluish Gray, the bracket on the bottom is normal
Light Bluish Gray. The two in the middle, well, ???. I know this happens when
they change colors in the molding machine, I just never saw two with that much
difference before
The second is a slope I found and I can't really explain the speckle. It
is a LEGO part, seems to be mostly Light Bluish Gray. When I looked at it through
a loop, as you can see here, it has small shafts of black. I would expect round
beads, but not shafts.
Does anyone know how the slope got speckled?
Anyone interested in owning them?

Is it a 1x1 slope? Top corners look sharper/more angular than normal - you sure
its not a clone?

This change is more problematic because minifigs can't have alternate parts
|
Maybe I'm out of touch but why are they even minifigs in the first place?

in this set. From 2017 LEGO started to change old mould 4624 to new one 34337.

Only there are so many other sellers out there that are creating multiple listings
of the same item with staggered prices that I'm sure they can't be aware
of this feature??
|
I would guess the majority of those are ending up with multiple listings because
they don't consolidate whilst parting out sets.

| | I don't know if this applies to all sellers but I rarely list my entire inventory
for any individual minifig part all at the same time mainly because whenever
I've done this in the past there usally comes a point when someone will buy
out all your stock in one go however many hundreds of the same part you might
have!
This is usually because you've dropped your guard and are suddenly selling
well below the BL average for the current price/demand and of course at that
point its too late for you to adjust your pricing to fit in line with current
market value. The other thing is I like to hold back stock for future minifig
builds as there's nothing worse than having to buy back minifig parts at
double or even tripple the price you once sold them for yourself!
Anyway getting to the point....
This can mean that with the smaller amounts I list in my store at any one time
I can unknowingly sell out of a part for weeks or months at a time before I even
notice and remember to replensih my store inventory again which is not good for
buyers, not good for BL and certainly not good for me!
Therefore I can't help but wonder whether BL should implement a similar system
to Brickowl where as your picking your order you can also see exactly how many
you will have left in your store thereby allowing you to easily re-adjust your
inventory as you go?
Even ebay has now implemented this feature as I think they also recognise that
this helps prompt sellers to replenish or re-purchase stocks before selling out!
I've also noticed that many other BL sellers try to get around this problem
by creating 4 or 5 listings for the same part all with varyig prices so that
as they sell out at the cheapest price they still have the same item listed at
higher prices but this just creates clutter and makes shopping with these sellers
very frustrating as you end up having to search through quadruple the number
of pages seeing the same items come up again and again!
Really not sure why Sellers do this as its not good for business and I've
quite often found myself having to give up with browsing any further through
their stores.
Does anyone share a similar view on this or perhaps theres a different way around
this that I'm missing?
