Dear Bricklink Team,

i would suggest to you, to add the official prices of each set on the page of
the sets.
Currently i am always visiting the brickset page for that info.
If you would feature the prices on your page, i wouldnt have to visit brickset
and you would gain more traffic.

Sincerely
Henri

and then all the buyers: 'Why are you charging so much more than MSRP?'
No thanks!


Brickset is great! There is no reason to divert their traffic.

This was actually implemented a while ago, and met stiff resistance, and was
subsequently removed. See here for the discussion:

When I first saw this thread, my immediate reaction was "oh, that sounds like
a neat idea".
Then I followed your link and read the discussion there and now I'm "oh,
that's a horrible idea".

They did try it a while back but it wasn't popular and can be misleading.

Which MSRP?
European one? US? Canada? Mexico? Asian? Australian?
With Sales Taxes? With VAT (and which Country)?

This reference price existed on BL but I guess was misleading people, who complained.
