Not to mention that most of the people who would agree to remove it would probably
also be the same ones who would then complain the loudest that it is no longer

I understand the desire for any company to want input from their customers, but
in this setting when input is given, but action is not taken it quickly becomes
demoralizing for the members. Eventually people realize their opinion is of
no value to ownership and they stop participating. I think when a company puts

I disagree.
Could there be more action on suggestions? Absolutely. Is it frustrating to see
many great suggestions that have not been implemented over the last few years?
Definitely.
But if BL tomorrow decided to delete the Suggestions topic, and posted "Hey,

over the direction the company takes anymore." Well... that would be much much
worse.

| | Third, I do not believe buyers should be able to cancel an entire order if something
is missing. Because, in my case at least, it is not necessary to cancel the order.
If the buyer really needs that missing item, I will order it from another seller
and have it shipped directly to the buyer at my expense. Thus, the buyer loses
nothing.

That's great if I'm ordering from you or another seller with this policy.
If I order from a store without this policy, and they end up not having the main
item I wanted, you are saying that I should now be required to either pay for
the shipping cost and items I only included as add-ons, or accept NPB penalty.
Just in general, I think the penalty for an order cancellation is excessive.
If a buyer lets the seller know soon after the invoice is sent, I don't see
it as a big problem (unless they are abusive with it, such as holding up a large
portion of inventory). Especially in cases where shipping costs/fees are not
explicitly outlined (major problem with BrickLink) - sorry saying "actual shipping
cost" as most sellers here do is not enough. I have had several times where a
seller ships by a more expensive method than necessary. So I can't know how
much I will be charged before placing an order.

[9395-1] it has been retired for awhile but still shows MSRP.
Excellent example, thank you. Note the serious drop in sales of this set in April,
at least so far. The last two months show a dozen sold each month, one sold this
month. I am looking forward to seeing the real numbers from this feature.
Darren

Another number they should look at is the number of sets listed for sale by sellers.
This number is going to drop as well, at least for sets currently in production.
But maybe this is what they want. Get rid of listings for currently produced
sets priced more than the MSRP.

That is confirmed, one set that is "sold out", that still has the MSRP. Can anyone

Neither are even listed on LEGO S@H anymore. Both have MSRP on BL.

Based on what we have found, there is one set currently showing the original
MSRP of a retired set. Anybody find more? Perhaps the idea was to show the MSRP
of currently available sets? Just a guess, though.

8110-1 ... Remember this was just implemented, so a very small number of sets
have retired and had the MSRP tag.

I would prefer to leave the MSRP, but also showing when the set has retired (year
and month). That should make it clear that it can no longer be found at that
price.

If you are going to completely fill the order anyway, then you would not be asking

Of course I will. Why should I pay BrickLink selling fees on something I have
to purchase from another seller? Filing an IRR not only reduces fees, but it
also keeps my bookkeeping and accounting more accurate.

I made no assumptions about "every" seller. But I do know that many good sellers
do offer this same option. Why should we be penalized with order cancellation
when the buyer suffers no harm or loss? The suggestion is overkill, ineffective
and unnecessary.

Now that would really confuse me if the seller wanted me to approve the Item
Remove Request, and was still going to have the item shipped to me.
