| Hi.
Is there any real reason WHY the date is shown when an item is listed within
a stores' inventory?
I've kept the option on when I've sold out of an item, it's retained
within my store's inventory, so that when I add more stuff, I know that of
the 2 listings that I have for that particular item (used and new), the USED
listing is always above the new, ensuring that I don't add used stock to
the NEW listing.
I can't understand why this option is there, but it does seem strange, because
when I'd first listed an item within my inventory 4 years ago, and have since
added more of that kind in the years between then and now, but to a Newbie buyer,
it will give the impression that my NEW stock is 4-6 years old, whereas it could
actually be 2 days old!
Can this feature be given the option of being updateable when new stock is actually
added to the retained listing?
Regards,
Paul

| Paul,
I believe that is for your information. I cannot see how long you have had an
item listed.

It's there, believe me.
Go to your wanted list.
select an item.
visit a store that has that item.
and you will see the date that item was 'added' to the store.

| Paul,
I see. I have rarely used a wanted list. I have used this data in my inventory
to notice items that are not turning properly, so I like having it. I don't
see any need for a customer to see this information.

You can (see screenshot below).
I'm not really sure of the intended use, but I've used it once in a while.
If I notice someone has a bunch of an item that I've been looking for (but
don't recall getting a Wanted List notification for), I will look at this
data out of curiosity.

I've asked the same question when it just got implemented.
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=987541

within my store's inventory, so that when I add more stuff, I know that of
the 2 listings that I have for that particular item (used and new), the USED
listing is always above the new, ensuring that I don't add used stock to
the NEW listing.

added more of that kind in the years between then and now, but to a Newbie buyer,
it will give the impression that my NEW stock is 4-6 years old, whereas it could
actually be 2 days old!
Can this feature be given the option of being updateable when new stock is actually
added to the retained listing?

I would agree with this suggestion as this has caused me problems as well in
so far as the "Newest Items" button in the store does not show that I've
just recently added new items because the listing date is so old. I like the
"Newest Items" button, but it doesn't show the newest items published in
the store if the listing date is old (well it shows them, but way way way down!).
For example: I'm selling sets, and I listed them in my inventory about a
year ago, so they have the original listing date. However, it might be 6 months
or a year before I actually make the set available in my store (as I'm double-checking
it, etc.). When I finally get around to putting it in my store, if a customer
were to click "Newest Items" to see what I've recently put in my store, they
don't see the item because it has an old listing date. So I have to delete
the item from my inventory, and re-enter it.

That is not the same issue as Paul mentioned. Showing the date in WL is a new
function however BL has always AFAIK used the 1st listed date to sort inventory
displayed to a buyer in new store listings. Also if you retain lots then add
to them after selling out this will not prompt a notify message as a new listing
does.

Maybe I completely misunderstood. I do get that his issue is different than
my scenario, but I thought his solution to his issue is to allow the seller to
modify the listing date, in which case, it would solve my issue? Or have
I misunderstood? I would like to modify the listing date because I'd prefer
it to be the date when I actually send out the notifications, which is the date
that I've made it available in my store.

I don't agree that a seller should be able to modify a listing date.
I do agree that the listing date does not need to be shown on the buyer's
WL data though.

Aren’t sellers already able to do that by removing the lot then creating a new
one?

Yes, I don’t see what it could be good for as it adds no information for the
buyer. (The lot may be old but the parts just added, or vice versa.)

Yes, and if you "churn" inventory, downloading all, editing, and re-uploading,
all the dates change to the re-upload date. We do this every 6 months or so
to update pricing, so the dates are irrelevant.

We can, but it takes time, and if I have the sheer amount that I have listed,
then it's a heck of a time consuming thing to do, so it's not feasible.

|
Exactly what I am trying to convey, because such a showing of that data does
tend to imply that a part has been 'unsold' within my store since that
date, and I'm not adding more stuff, where in fact I have been.
The data should be updated to show when the listing of the part was 'added
to' with more stock, rather than having new notifications being sent each
time a store's inventory gets 'churned', which doesn't give a
proper level playing field.
(I've not used BrickStock or anything else like it, so for anyone to suggest
that I should do that, doesn't help as it means that more of my time is wasted)
