Comments from Submitter:
Original instruction book I own clearly shows part 41885 in step 6 on page 20 and step 6 on page 23, and not part 47457.

In the case of variants, we can't depend on instructions. Does anyone have
a reliable copy of this set to check against?

More than that it was implemented as a 'default on.'
Then after the uproar from a few prominent forum regulars. It was removed and
later reintroduced as an option with the default off as a way to placate those
very opposed.

I knew there was something with default on

But I forgot the debate for turning it off, getting old, hm...

It's not so much that you are getting old but the debate is getting old.

Many things have been debated regularly every 6-12 months and none more than
weights. It has been a constant in my 10 years here! It is one of the issues
that makes me long for post retention of longer than 6 months, which is also
a regular suggestion.

Where do you know that it is off by default?

If a seller is new I usually just ask them to turn the weights on, rather than
quickly deciding to not purchase from them.
In one such discussion the seller did not know how to turn the weights on.
Since I am not a seller, I did not know either.
So I referred the seller to this forum to ask how to enable weights.

It was this conversation where I concluded that the default was off.

Where do you know that it is off by default?

Further, whenever a seller decides to turn off this feature, display a message
telling them that this makes it hard for buyers to estimate shipping, and it
is recommended that they leave the weights turned on.
Maybe even tell them that many buyers will choose to NOT buy from them, and instead
choose a seller that has the weights turned on.

I know that I have selected "empty cart" instead of checking out, at the point
I was about the check out, for at least 2 sellers in the last two days, due to
no weights in shopping cart.

I have read the reasons for having weights off. I still don't think it is
necessary (or of benefit) to not display the weights. There are better solutions
to every reason I have seen, for not showing weights.

Buyers are being asked to estimate the shipping cost, close enough to commit
to the order.
Not providing the buyers with the available information to do this estimate is
wrong.

Maybe implement a policy that allows buyers to cancel any order placed where
weights were not visible in the shopping cart without risk of NPB.
This will give sellers more incentive to just make the weights visible.

I recall having to manually enable it. I definitely never disabled it. Maybe
it has changed at some point already.

Same here, in fact a customer asked me why I didn't have it active, I then
found the forum and was kindly pointed in the right direction to activate it!

A shop with it disabled is most likely a shop I won't bother with, or buy

either from not getting an order or from not selling those extra brick that would
fit nicely into that package. So yes help the newbiees to set the settings right.

How about the two white

2341 Slope, Inverted 45 3 x 1 Double
Parts: Slope, Inverted

in the set?

TLG lists this part as a new mold number (18759):
http://brickset.com/parts/design-18759

Can you check your pieces for the new mold number, and if you find it, can you
compare it to a 2341 to see if they are the same or different?

Cheers,
Randy

I checked one and it has the new mold number. Unfortunately at the moment I can't
compare it to an old piece to see if there are any differences.

I just compared the two molds. As you can see in the attached picture, the two
hollow outer studs have the same thickness all the way to the bottom in the old
mold 2341 (the light bluish gray part). In the new mold 18759 (the white part)
there is a ridge and they are thinner at the top.

Those ridges in the new hollow outer studs are for keeping bars that are placed
into them at a standard height with similar hollow studs on other inverted slopes.
That would be a functional difference. Could you submit this new part to the
catalog so that we can get the new sets inventoried with the right part?

Cheers,
Randy

Should they be added as a new part? I don't see seperate entries for other
inverted slopes with these ridges in the hollow studs like 3660 and 3665. Unless
you also want to add those as new parts.

The 3660 and 3665 have at least three different versions of the hollow stud.
The first was very narrow, narrower even then the old hollow stud guage:

3709a Technic, Brick 2 x 4 with Holes on All Sides
Parts: Technic, Brick

3614a Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Tow Ball with Round Hole (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Hand)
Parts: Plate, Round

The second could hold a minifig utensil, and the third (as Randy has observed)
limits the insertion depth of a utensil.

3660 Slope, Inverted 45 2 x 2 with Flat Bottom Pin
Parts: Slope, Inverted

3665 Slope, Inverted 45 2 x 1
Parts: Slope, Inverted

Comments from Submitter:
Sets that I parted out all had 6157 and 14520. I contacted the person who inventoried this set asking to confirm if the variants in the inventory are correct but I did not get a reply. I did notice in their store terms that they are a seller who does not differentiate between part variants, so I'm not sure if the variants in the current inventory are correct. The other variants can always be added again as alternates if someone confirms that they found them in a sealed set.

How about the two white

2341 Slope, Inverted 45 3 x 1 Double
Parts: Slope, Inverted

I checked one and it has the new mold number. Unfortunately at the moment I can't
compare it to an old piece to see if there are any differences.

We try to always include a note when match numbers are used this way. Could the

The current system works great for snatching good deals that are newly posted,
but it doesn't tell us if something goes on sale after it's already been
listed for a while. Looking at items in my wanted list, I see I've missed
out on a lot of great deals, presumably because they were on sale.

It would be great if there was an option to be notified when an item's price
changes.

This might work well if it was: A) optional and B) restricted to just sets.

If I got a notification every time a part on my wanted list changed prices, my
phone would blow up.

-Pete

C) If Pete set his wanted list requirements for quantity and price correctly,
his phone would hardly ring at all, since most notifications would not be sent
out to him as they failed his criteria. ...unless Pete puts things on his wanted
list that he has no intention of buying ....

That was my point. That it would need to be an additional option. A stand alone
option, like the ones currently in place, and can me turned on or off. Thanks
for using my name like you were discussing a different person with me.

-Pete

I still don't see why you would need a special option to turn the feature
on or off.

There is an existing feature that allows you to be notified when an item becomes
available in the quantity and price that you want.

Your comment that If I got a notification every time a part on my wanted
list changed prices, my phone would blow up. suggests that you have not
set up your wanted list(s) properly.

If your phone was going off that often, it would indicate that a lot of parts
you, not the system, but you, presumably wanted to buy at that price, at the
time you set up your wanted list, you have no intention of buying at that time.
Perhaps you should not have selected "email me when this item becomes available"

The proposed system of informing people of newer, lower prices on their wanted
list, would work just fine without an on/off toggle switch

Maybe it could be optional for every wanted list item.

Except for temporary use, I only add expensive items to my wanted list. I have
BL notify me via e-mail when something pops up so I can pick up the best deals
on things I'm looking for. I buy a lot of cavalry minifigures. I seem to
miss a lot of them because the prices change.

That's exactly why I prefer not having a chatroom. Good discussions just
become lost in a chatroom, even if they are archived. It's nice being able
to see the discussions I've missed.

Associating each user with their BrickLink ID is definitely important, though.
There may be some way to setup an IRC channel so that a moderator has to receive
a message from the BrickLink member to approve their IRC account, but that would
be an arduous task and would discourage new members from joining the chat.

There are at least on unofficial IRC channel for BrickLink.
We are only a few in there right now.
Link in my "me" page if you like to check it out.

It wold be easy to set up a "Mibbit" client and link it to any IRC channel they
want without any security issue.
That way people that don't normally use IRC can join in without downloading
and installing anything.

Have a nice day.

lol, way to weight your opinion as informative.

I didn't get to live in the 60's, but I prefer living now to living in
the 60's

hard to follow - that was kind of the point of chat, off the record spur of the
moment talk.

It made the FORUM easier to follow because there were a lot less posts there
and the posts there

There were a lot of people that were regulars in chat the hardly posted in the
forum, for the most part they were two different crowds

the ONLY downside was the security problems that arose from it (except for maybe
the mods that had to spend time in there to monitor things)

That was actually a plus, I think the strong mod presence in the chat room kept
the conversation positive and prevented a lot of member bashing that happens
in the forum.

I've spent plenty of time in chatrooms before. I know what they're like.
I'm just saying my preference is the forum. I like to have the opportunity
to be a part of each discussion.

Anyway, I've always wondered why there isn't a separately hosted IRC
channel for BrickLink. There are a ton of different websites for hosting chatrooms.
I'm surprised there's not an unofficial one at least.

A few people set them up and even advertised them, but the only way to tell of
them was through the forum and you know how posts can get out of control and
bring things 8 pages down.

The other thing was integration with your ID so you know who you were talking
to and could check their feedback/store

When chat was active, I almost never went to the forum unless people in chat
didn't know.

Well, I would say it's a bit of both.

Outside a few appearances at seller conventions (EU and maybe one in the US),
I have yet to see any personal touches from Jung-Ju Kim and certainly no passion.

The MOC shop was a business decision, not a passionate one.

Someone who spent any time on BL would have at least some input on what needs
to change. If he used Bricklink personally, it was to pop in, make a purchase
and pay for it and pop out just as quick

I didn't expect Chat to be returned because any 'business' benefits
are hard to measure. You don't know that person A helped person B decide
on something and made a sale, you only know they made a sale. You don't
know that problems were resolved and advice given.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm actually glad there's
no chat. I prefer the forum. I've never used the BL chat before, but large
IRC chatrooms are hard to follow, and you can't navigate messages in a chatroom.

I agree that it seems the MOC shop was just a business decision. The dumb thing
is that it's probably done more harm than good. I would be surprised if they
haven't spent more money developing it than what they've earned from
it so far. I really don't see why they think there would be a lot of people
lining up to buy someone else's creation. Anyone who knows what a MOC is
is probably more interested in creating their own than following someone else's
instructions. If they wanted to target kids, they should have picked a better
name.

I have no idea who Jung-Ju Kim is. I've only seen two or three staff members
on the forum (unless inventory admins count), and none of them have seemed to
be in touch with the community.

I hate when I click an off-site link in a post and it opens in the current tab.
Take a lesson from BrickSet, it's a much better experience and keeps the

key to get that done, but I shouldn't have to)

I think keeping a tab open at BL when a user clicks an off site link would be
in the best interest of BL.

Thank you

can't ya just simply right-click & select the "open in new tab" or "open
in new window" option in your browser, it's a pretty basic maneuver in IE...

Sounds lile OP has a Mac, so that doesn't exist. FYI, you can also middle
click to open in new tab with just one click.

Hi,

it would be very helpful if there would be a link directly to the catalog entry
of an item/set when browsing an item/set in any store. This way, you don't
need to go all the way back to the catalog page and manually search for it or
browse your way to the entry.

As far as I know this is now not possible (or I have completely missed it for
years).

Yes,
They really need this.

IF BL had a competitor, all other things equal, but the competitor had this feature,
I would use the competitor.
I have this thought almost every time I am shopping on BL.

However,
Not having this feature has allowed me to exercise my memory skills more often,
as I try to remember the item number (in my head) as I navigate back to the catalog.
I suppose this is good exercise for my brain.

It doesn't. It allows the seller to have a link to the price guide, from
the inventory view (not from within the store).

There isn't an option for what the original post was describing.

In Suggestions, RobErNat writes:

Posting this on behalve of the many 'consumers' (customers) who might
not be aware there are new EU directives regarding distant selling.

The new directives can be found below, and each EU country is supposed to have
put this in a National Law (if not yet, probably soon).

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32011L0083&rid=1

Hi Eric,
as you have pointed out, each EU country has to implement it in national law(s)
and/or regulations.

Can you please elaborate which countries already have implemented this EU rule
from 2011?

EU directives are not binding for any individual, they are only binding for the
28 member states. So your post is somehow theoretical and academic.

As for BrickLink enforcing these national laws, do you expect BrickLink to hire
lawyers in each of the 28 EU member states to examine the national laws and then
checking payment terms of 8794 EU BrickLink stores?

BrickLink acts only as a venue and is not involved in transactions.
Check #3 of the TOS:
http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1919

Upon registration all sellers have already agreed on #13 of the TOS to comply
with all applicable laws and regulations.

Now, if you want to complain about specific store terms *you* would have to show
proof that the seller(s) in question violate the respective law(s) of the
seller's country for which you most likely would need an attorney.

Keep also in mind that payment transaction costs may not only include the PP
fees but also bookeeping costs. In case of an complaint it would be up to sellers
to show proof how their specific costs add up (if already regulated by local
laws).

For clarification:
I do not in any way want to defend sellers who charge more than the actual fees
but rather want to point out how difficult it is to judge about specific terms.
I have always tried to calculate most accurate fees, specified by buyer location
- which is not quite easy, as PP fees are calculated on the whole payment and
not only on order and shipping costs - but I'm fully aware about EU sellers
who charge a "flat" PP fee.

Btw. PP fees differ in different EU countries, for example German PP fees are
different than Dutch PP fees.

Ronald

You think it's reasonable for BrickLink to check each country's PP fee
table and compare it to the local law of the seller?
Come on. It's up to the seller the comply with laws and regulations, and
not up to BrickLink to check each country's law and each country's PP
fees.

and yes, I am aware German PP fees
differ from others. But that's beside the point, point is that each seller
would need to calculate for him(her)self, based on the country he(she)is located
(if that country already published the Law) and where the buyer is from.
In some contries there are already that law, and in others they will come soon,
as that is what the EU directive of mid 2014 expects (allthough indeed it was
already written in 2011): That seller can't charge more, he/she can charge
exact, or less, simple.

You seem to imply that each country implements the EU directive in the same way.
In fact there are many different ways of implementation.
Germany for example has implemented it in a way that contract terms about inflated
payment fees are simply invalid, though the whole contract is not invalid.
It would be up to the BUYER to dispute the inflated fees either before buying
(which would them most likely let land on stoplists) or after buying (and any
known consequences, refund, stoplist, -FB etc.). Simply self-regulating as many
other things in BrickLink.

In regards to bookkeeping costs, yes, that could be part of a charge, but then
it cannot be called a 'PP' fee, or the seller can't either hind behind
it by saying: it's not just the PP fee, it also contains bookkeeping costs,
possible, but then the seller will need to call it differently

That BL requests from sellers to comply with local laws is clear, but when does
BL step in, in case of complaints? When does it remind sellers they need to?

Again, BrickLink is not involved in transactions.

As Lukas pointed out, they (the admins) ignored his request, and so the problem
persists...

The whole cancellation process needs to be reviewed. Allowing buyers to unilaterally
cancel orders would could be misused, but actually there's no way for buyers
to dispute a rejected OCR for example for shipping fees to high or PP fees to
high (opening a can of worms...)

Correct?
Or am I looking at the wrong tables?

As was already mentioned, that is the table for personal payments. But the fees
for payment for goods are the same as for personal payment with credit cards.
But don't forget what is posted below the table: "Opmerking: internationale
betalingen in euro of Zweedse kroon tussen rekeningen die zijn geregistreerd
in de Europese Unie of de Europese Economische Ruimte worden, wat kosten betreft,
behandeld als binnenlandse betalingen bij het toepassen van kosten." This was
also discussed recently in another thread about Paypal fees. Payments in EUR
or SEK between countries in the EU or EEA are treated as domestic payments for
the calculation of fees.
