Same with this one. Should be added as an alternate.

This should be added as an alternate. The Type 2 clip is still being used, and
the original submitter of the inventory (Hygrotus) is very picky about his Star
Wars inventories.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
1996 is too late for the axle brick, and the new one can be seen in the set image (there is a recessed hole in the center of each wheel). Also check out the image on Brickfactory and see set 9256.

Set 113 is missing the electric wires in the inventory. I assume the parts that are in my set are the correct part number.

I just checked and the part number for the blue with yellow wheels is 2312.
It also has the numbers 1-09.

For the blue with red wheels the numbers underneath are exactly the same.

Thanks for checking.

Uploading some pictures so that you and the Admin's better understand my
question.
Will have to do some research on this.

Parts: Wheel & Tire Assembly

Those wheels look like they have pins. The 7049 part should be an outlier in
1996.

So probably the same thing for these sets, too?

The 1880 instructions show the 7049, and 9354 is a sealed source (plus another
soft confirmation with the addition of the alternate head). The end date of 7049
would be 1992.

So, no, I think the only error* is in the 1996 set.

*That is, the only error in the context of our conversation. I will never say
there are no more errors on BrickLink!

I hope this doesn't detract from the specific issue you want to discuss,

and 16 of

 
Part No: 7039  Name: Wheel with 4 Studs and Metal Axle
* 
7039 Wheel with 4 Studs and Metal Axle
Parts: Wheel

The box image (and likely the official part count) shows a total of eight assembled
parts (see attached image) and BrickLink's inventory shows 40 parts taken
apart. It seems to me like this has resulted in the set inventory being inflated
by 32 parts.

Surely these wheels didn't come in sets disassembled like this?

I'm pretty sure those should be:
 
Part No: 4180c02assy1  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Red Wheels FreeStyle and Red Pins with 2 Black Tire 24mm D. x 8mm Offset Tread - Interior Ridges (4180c02 / 3483)

Red Base with Yellow wheels Mold 011(no part number) Mold 014 (part number molded
backwards)
Yellow Base with Red wheels. Mold 013, Mold 024 (part number 4883003)

It may be possible that those two 2312* and 4883* have got the part number switched
at some points.

Thanks.

Comments from Submitter:
Just got this set factory sealed. I suppose this should be a cautionary tale about inventorying sets based on set pictures. In all fairness, the current BL catalog picture is horrible - I'll try to fix that. Set also includes an activity card of sorts which I'll add to the catalog and then to the inventory.

Hello

i was thinking maybe you could remake the region selection for Latvian buyers.
cause i cant (and probably others too) select my region: Lielvarde.

please fix this,

  I thought the implementation of on-site payments was supposed to help in some
way. Was it only by requiring Paypal for new sellers? We know that's no
guarantee.

I'm pretty sure it is, actually. If the purchase qualifies for buyer protection,
the buyer is protected (regardless of whether Paypal can successfully recover
the funds or not). They changed their terms while back.


  Wonder if there's a way for BL to work with PP so that new BL
sellers have their funds held at PP for a number of days until buyers confirm
receipt. And maybe it needs to be receipt by buyers who have a minimum of X
feedback or Y years of membership, so it's not sham buyers validating delivery.

Question is whether the burden dissuades more legit new sellers than it thwarts
shams. Considering the surplus of sellers here, I'd think it worth a try.


Having an escrow-type way to hold funds was part of the plan that was rolled
out at the summit in Chicago a year and a half ago. When BL discussed it on the
forum, a lot of people on the forum complained very loudly that it was a terrible
idea, and we haven't heard a lot about it since then. It's too bad, because
I thought (and still think) that it's a fantastic idea. (A side benefit of
it is that BL could LOWER our Paypal fees, as well.)

BrickLink could never hold Paypal funds in escrow. IANAL, but I don't see
how that is legal, for one thing. It would also be a huge burden on BrickLink
to track all that money and not have it disappear due to simple (keypunch) error,
hacking, theft, mismanagement, or imcompetence.

For another thing, it won't work for logistical reasons -- Sellers need
access to the Paypal payment in order to ship the order -- the verified address,
etc, for both the buyer protection and seller protection to work.

Also, you cannot expect sellers to front all the postage costs with the funds
in escrow. If a parcel costs 20 bucks to ship, you can't expect the vendor
to handle that cost while there is money for the transaction that the seller
cannot access.
It's bad enough sellers already subsidize shipping on each and every Paypal-paid
order, but expecting them to ship without the cash up front simply won't
work.

  Please also note the set images for these service packs, which give a clear picture
of how these wheels originally came:
 
Set No: 837  Name: Wheels and Tires Parts Pack
* 
837-1 (Inv) Wheels and Tires Parts Pack
16 Parts, 1980
Sets: Universal Building Set: Supplemental
 
Set No: 5132  Name: Wheels, Bearings and Suspension
* 
5132-1 (Inv) Wheels, Bearings and Suspension
24 Parts, 1995
Sets: Service Packs

I ran across a current BL sales image today that encapsulates in a snapshot what
could be prevented by making these changes. You can see that
 
Part No: 3137c01assy2  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 2 with Red Wheels for Single Tire with Black Tires 15mm D. x 6mm Offset Tread Small (3137c01 / 3641)
* 
3137c01assy2 (Inv) Brick, Modified 2 x 2 with Red Wheels for Single Tire with Black Tires 15mm D. x 6mm Offset Tread Small (3137c01 / 3641)
Parts: Wheel & Tire Assembly
...have been separated into what the inventory currently says:
 
Part No: 3137c01  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 2 with Red Wheels for Single Tire
* 
3137c01 (Inv) Brick, Modified 2 x 2 with Red Wheels for Single Tire
Parts: Wheel
 
Part No: 3641  Name: Tire 15mm D. x 6mm Offset Tread Small
* 
3641 Tire 15mm D. x 6mm Offset Tread Small
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread
...and it even looks as though:
 
Part No: 8c01  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire 14mm D. x 4mm Smooth Small Single (8 / 3464c01)
* 
8c01 (Inv) Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire 14mm D. x 4mm Smooth Small Single (8 / 3464c01)
Parts: Aircraft
...have been separated into:
 
Part No: 8  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom
* 
8 Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom
Parts: Plate, Modified
 
Part No: 3464c01  Name: Wheel Center Small with Stub Axles (Pulley Wheel) with Black Tire 14mm D. x 4mm Smooth Small Single (3464 / 3139)
* 
3464c01 (Inv) Wheel Center Small with Stub Axles (Pulley Wheel) with Black Tire 14mm D. x 4mm Smooth Small Single (3464 / 3139)
Parts: Wheel & Tire Assembly
...which is not exactly what the inventory says, but the small tire was likely
too difficult to get off.

  I believe that if Bricklink will allow new sellers to set up a shop ONLY AFTER
THEY HAVE COMPLETED 10 successful transactions as buyers- the scams by 0 feedback
sellers (that pop everyday) will stop by a high margin.

The beauty of this is that they can't start multiple new seller accounts
to prop up their buying feedbacks too.

I think this will work...

Yea look at me I have a whole 4 buying feedback, one recent. I had like 73-74
feedback from selling before I ever bought anything lol. Could be a reallllllllllly
long time before I get to 10. Probably not I got about 60+ want lists for sets
that I need to start ordering for. But if not for those, it could be years. lol
