Hi all,

I know how the parting out system works for NEW sets, with all the parts including
the extras, but surely the parting-out system can be tweaked to allow USED sets
that have the stickers applied?

I do find it time consuming, parting out used sets, to find that I have to tick
all the boxes that have parts that have a sticker applied AND then have to input
them individually afterwards...

(Unless there is a feature that is already there...)

Regards,

Paul

Good suggestion.

Brickstore lists counterparts when you import a BL set inventory.

Maybe that helps in the meantime?

I'm for checkable stickered counterparts when parting out used sets.

Could you add it as new then change it to used? Just a guess.

Selecting new/used is possible, but stickered parts aren't shown and have to
be searched and added manually.

Hi,
actually the system doesn't know to which regular part(s) a counterpart is connected.
This type of information simply is not available in inventories.
Having counterparts just in addition on the part out screen would still need
to uncheck the connected regular parts manually. Please also note that new sets
also can have counterparts, such as wheel/tire assemblies or other part assemblies.
Maybe it would be nice for some sellers to have the option but first thousands
of inventories would have to be changed to show conterpart/regular part connections.
So I don't think that this suggestion will have any change of implementation
before it gets purged.
