  This is a fairly bad marketing idea for shops that probably don't work out
in the shops favour. I know a majority of my browsing has ended up in me taking
my business and money to another shop. Where I am either buying from someone
without a min buy, or selecting other items I actually want to hit that minimum
purchase amount. So my suggestion is to add a donation field/possibility to finish
passing the required purchase line.

I have only made 3 purchases since I joined but these 3 people are profiting
by shop deterrence over the min buy. One of which was a difference of 3 cents
to the min buy vs. paying 1 cent more for the same thing because it didn't
have one.

Hi Brickochet,
I've had this in place since I opened, though my minimum buy has crept up
since then. On my home page I list a minimum buy bypass password, along with
a notification that if it is used, I will add a $ amount to their order to hit
the minimum. I only have people take me up on it about once a year. It was more
often when my minimum was lower.

So good idea, but doesn't really need a separate feature, in my humble opinion.

I need to withdraw my request. Although I *did* part that set out, the pieces
I currently have in inventory are likely not from those part outs. I made an
error in my notations field when I added more to the batch.

Apologies.

Imho, there is no need to include the set number in minifig titles. If I am
looking for figs from a specific set, I pull up that set, and click the included
minifigures link.

If I am trying to identify a minifig in my hand, chances are I don’t have the
set number yet, which is when a descriptive title helps. And since I don’t know
all the licenses or characters, descriptions that are obvious to the uninitiated
are particularly helpful. Often, I need to start with the torso and work up
to the fig.

When I search a set/gear number in the catalog, having a clutter of figs to wade
through is unhelpful.

But here’s the kicker: when I print out my packing list, I *really* don’t want
a quarter page of useless set numbers on every fig. It could easily turn a one
page printout into several.

My two cents.

What about Minifig head, blank?

And without being in a different category:
Minifig head, decorated, fish
Minifig head, decorated, pineapple

Ones with faces get “with”
Minifig head with dimple

This should alphebetize the list as desired, right?

I have commonly sold minibuilds on the "other" auction site. I never bothered
listing them here.

Specifically, the Tardis and control room (separately) of
 
Set No: 21304  Name: Doctor Who
* 
21304-1 (Inv) Doctor Who
526 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2015
Sets: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO): Doctor Who
, and the
police car from
 
Set No: 70912  Name: Arkham Asylum
* 
70912-1 (Inv) Arkham Asylum
1572 Parts, 13 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Super Heroes: The LEGO Batman Movie
(no stickers included).

I would very much like to see a "withing x distance of ..." option. We offer
local pickup or delivery to LUG/AFOL meetings, which saves buyers both time AND
shipping, but unless they know of us already, that option isn't searchable.

Please bring back the functionality that allows the "Submit" button to show at
the TOP of the inventory screen as well as the bottom. It appears some users
have it grandfathered in, but it is no longer available?

See message string
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=227702&nID=1061374

aaaand, if we're wrong, and there is a way to do it that I'm missing,
please enlighten me.

Thanks!
