5/10/2000 (Before BrickLink) This was Admin's JavaScript functional store for selling parts in days prior to site launch. Maintaining inventory required editing the web page code manually and buying an item did not decrease stock in the store, this had to be done manually. Admin was contacted by several other sellers who wanted to have a similar store from which the idea of one central site where anyone could have a functional store was born. The ability for stock to be automatically decreased when an order was submitted and way to track orders online was desired. |
| BrickLink was launched on June 19, 2000 |
