visual on how prices for old parts behave when new sets hit the market containing
parts that haven't been available retail for a while.

Would love that feature. It's possible to get the information for the past
6 months by parsing the whole price guide page (catalogPG.asp, not priceGuide.asp),
but this generates far more traffic than necessary...

Looking back 2-3 years would be interesting too.

More than just that. How about not purge data 7 months old..... Is it really
that big of a deal to extend to a year or two?

Or more...

* Add 1 Minifig min001 Minecraft Figure Micromob Creeper (Counterpart)
* Add 1 Minifig min002 Minecraft Figure Micromob Steve (Counterpart)


Just wondering, why are they added as counterparts?

When parting a set, counterparts cannot be broken up automatically -- but
if they are regular minifigures then someone can simply select to keep them as
figures or to part them out. Otherwise if someone is parting them out, they have
to manually check the inventory for every figure and manually delete every single
part.

Andy

Because for example "Steve" there are parts for a complete one but extra's
for part of one. We can let the Invmins decide how they prefer.

  *IRR - Item Removal Request

Enable buyers to cancel the order(right away) with no penalty to them, when sellers
submit IRR. Most of the time few missing pieces is not an issue, but sometimes
those few pieces may be the whole reason for the order. Buyers should not be
forced to hold up their end of the deal, if sellers are not holding up theirs.

This would also take care of the issue when sellers remove lots from the order
under their own discretion, because they dont feel like filling some of them.
Filling the more expensive lots, but cancelling the smaller ones. In other words
- flipping their buyer off..

Buyer does have a legal right to cancel anyway in this case. If sellers are using
NPB in this case that is wrong and Admin should look into it, sellers should
not be trying to force buyers into buying a part order. We rarely use the IRR,
instead contact the buyer if we do not have exactly what they ordered due to
a stock error and ask them if they are still happy to continue with the order
or want us to take any other action. I can't believe many sellers would do
what you are suggesting but if they do I agree that needs to be stopped.

Robert

I do the same. I let them know what is missing, offer refund or alternate part
and tell them to let me know if they'd prefer to cancel the order.

Yes. But, apparently, that's not the practice that all are following

In order to move up in the queue I had to bring his order in to compliance
with
the terms by removing lots that did not comply.

http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=812692

not only this, but I also remember seeing some other sellers' terms that
they reserve the right to remove all lots smaller than X. It was not a single
store, I have seen it a few times..

By placing then order and agreeing to the store terms the buyers agree to have
the lots removed at the proprietors discretion. the above cases the buyer agreed
to have the items removed.

  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).

I agree. But this is a different issue.

  I voted no. For several reasons.

First, if BRricksters is your motivation for this suggestion, you simply cannot
compare 99.9% of BrickLink's sellers to that one bad seller. The problem
is, fortunately, not as rampant as you believe. This suggestion is overkill,
unnecessary and ineffective.

No, bricksters is not a motivation for any of my suggestions for the site, except
maybe to stop screwing around.

If I believed that bricsters is the only store I would have not bothered with
this. I used that store merely for an example, as it was the easiest way to get
the point through.

  Second, implementing this suggestion will not solve any problems. For one thing,
it is so easy to get around. If sellers risk losing an entire order they spent
time picking and packing merely because of one or two missing penny parts, they
just won't file an Item Removal Request.

I think eileenkeeney put it quite nicely:
  In Suggestions, eileenkeeney writes:
  First, there should be a requirement that sellers notify buyers if not shipping
everything ordered, and a requirement to use the Item Removal request.
Maybe there should be a "Seller did not follow Bricklink policy" submission,
that a seller is only allowed so many of, before a temporary loss of selling
privileges.

Then along with that add the option to Cancel order, as a response to a seller
initiated Item Removal Request.

To me, it is *extremely* frustrating when sellers write PM's with what is
missing from my orders. Most of the time I do not care about what is missing.
What I care about is to have *accurate* order details, so I can rely to that
info when I am a) editing my wanted lists and b) checking orders, as I do it
outside BL. When I have to manually address that, it means wasting *a lot* of
time, and the possibility to introduce mistakes in my lists. One or two orders
- no biggie. Dozens of orders with dozens of "corrections" that I have to make
myself - HOURS of wasted time.

I completely agree, sellers must be obliged to submit IRRs.


  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.

My policy with missing items is to let the buyer know as soon as I know something
is missing and then offer the buyer three choices to resolve the matter: (1)
A refund or credit for double the value of the missing item(s); (2) a coupon
for triple the amount of the missing item(s); or, if neither of those options
are acceptable to the buyer, (3) I will order the missing item(s) from another
seller and have them shipped directly to my buyer at my expense. This third option
makes the buyer whole. It makes it unnecessary for the buyer to order the item
elsewhere and pay more shipping costs. And the item can be received around the
same time his order with me is received.

If I am willing to make my buyer whole and provide him everything he ordered,
there is no reason he should be allowed to cancel his entire order with me. Particularly
if we are taking about a large order with numerous lots that I have spent time
on.

I suspect many other good sellers feel and do the same as I do. They should not
be penalized if they are able to make the buyer whole.

Foster.. First - how you deal with this is completely irrelevant in this
discussion. But if we follow your logic then we also do not need NRS and NSS
because you will never do any wrong to any buyer, therefore NRS or NSS
options is an overkill, unnecessary and ineffective.

Suggestion is about sellers who are not as brand spanking awesome as you are,
but about those who are not. Because right now there is nothing to stop them
from abusing their buyers, and other sellers too (this is a bit of a long shot
regarding other sellers, but put your mind to it and you should figure it out)

Third. I am first and foremost a seller, so why would I be digging my
own grave? Contrary to what you might think, I never take sides in any argument
when it comes to suggestions. I am looking at the system as a whole, and this
would apply to me just as much as to other sellers. The way it is now, sellers
have full power to do with their customers' orders whatever they want, and
the buyer is next to powerless.

  BTW, I am aware that many European sellers are subject to the Distance Selling
Regulations which require them to accept order cancellations and returns. Fortunately,
the DSR does not apply to US sellers and there is no similar law in the USA.

Thor

This suggestion has nothing to do with Distance Selling Regulations. I am not
talking about buyers right to cancel any order (my personal opinion is that buyers
should not have that right). I am talking about buyer's right to cancel an
order, when seller is not willing/unable to supply the full order.

I will repeat this one again just for you. I am talking about buyer's
right to cancel an order, when seller is not willing/unable to supply the
full order
.


P.S. as was noted to me in a PM... no I do not have any illusions for this, or
for just about any suggestion to be implemented in BL1 All this is for the
dev team to take a look and analyze now. So if I suggest this once BL2 turns
out, I wont get an answer "ou, ay, why havent you said anything earlier? We
need to re-code half of BL2 to implement this
"

There is a reason for that. You can debate if the reasons for 0 implementations
is valid, but the reasoning has been explained.

  Most recently the suggestion
to remove MSRP's was discarded even though the vast majority of sellers do
not want it.

Majority vote never has been, and never should be, the only factor in implementing
suggestions.
  
I've seen numerous suggestions to alter the way feedback is displayed to
better represent the members performance in the community and thus far nothing
has come of it.

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.

Agreed.

  I think when a company puts
more emphasis on "market research" than they do the words coming from customers
mouths it's a recipe for degradation of the community here on bricklink.

BrickLink has something like 300,000 registered users. Probably 300 are active
on the forums. And probably 30 are particularly "vocal". Letting that tiny
fraction of the population that is "vocal" on the forums be your sole voice for
maintaining the community is equally dangerous.

  
Like I said, this is a serious suggestion. I think giving people the illusion
of some decision making ability when in fact they have none will do nothing more
than hurt the site.

Matt

Suggestions do not equal decision making ability. Perhaps you misspoke. I wouldn't
disagree if you said the suggestions topic might give people the impression that
their opinions matter when in fact it doesn't.

It's about time people realize we have no say whatsoever in how BrickLink
is run. This isn't a community-driven website anymore. Management will work
on whatever they want, such as this MOC shop, which no one had asked for.

Perhaps we'll now see fewer endless and ultimately pointless debates in the
forum?

Extra items after building 42020-1.
One Black Technic, Liftarm 2 x 4 L-Shape Thick (32140) was left after building the original model, but it was for the alternative model.
One Black Technic, Axle 8 (3705) and one Black Tire 14mm D. x 6mm Solid Smooth (50945) were rare extra parts.
The other 7 parts were small pins and bushes commonly found in Technic sets.

No. I like the suggestions. It is a good way for us to provide input and have
others respond to it.

Currently there is a huge backlog but I hope that much can be dealt with while
this website works towards version 3.0.

How BrickLink deals with this information is up to them. We are not a democracy,
but that does not mean we are not listened to. Even if only one out of ten suggestions
is accepted, that one might provide a very useful solution to a problem the website
management did not even realise was there before the suggestion was made.

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
more emphasis on "market research" than they do the words coming from customers
mouths it's a recipe for degradation of the community here on bricklink.

Like I said, this is a serious suggestion. I think giving people the illusion
of some decision making ability when in fact they have none will do nothing more
than hurt the site.

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,
all! We decided that it's better to just not let you think you have any influence
over the direction the company takes anymore." Well... that would be much much
worse.

I know what your saying but the reality is we don't have any influence over
the direction of the company and giving people false hope is only positive until
the person realizes their opinion is irrelevant.

By the way I don't fault BL for running their business the way they see fit.
Ultimately if they make poor decisions it will decline. If they make positive
changes it will improve. But the users have no say in it, they can only decide
to either use the site or not.
