Hi,
“Negatives” (like differences and intersections) are difficult to manage here
(Truth be told, “positives” (merges) are a pain too….)
The solutions I can see (at this early hour…) are a bit complicated:
On BL only:
Solution 1: Make an order. Use ‘Apply Order’ to your WL.
Solution 2: Go to the Buy page. Select your Wanted List on the left then change
to the ‘Wanted Items’ tab (be sure both checkboxes ar ticked). Click ‘Apply.’
Find the store in the list of potential stores. Click on its line (NOT on its
name, but near it). The items that are available in the store will be in green
or yellow, the ones that aren’t will be in black, plus, the available and wanted
quantities will be under the items (as “A/w (W)” where A is available in the
store, w is (Want minus Have), and W is Want).
To then make a WL or modify your WL with that is an exercise left to the reader….
With BrickStore or Rebrickable:
Make a cart in the shop. Download the cart (can be done in BS, for RB, I think
you first need to make a WL with the cart, which is possible from within the
cart). And make a diff with your original WL. Upload the diff.

"It's the spaghetti code though! it's impossible to tackle!!!!"
Is that why they've done umpteen complex & pointless changes that no one
asked for while ignoring real issues? Implementing a MOC pop-up shop, a designer
program, a 2nd forum for Studio, and merging a bunch of parts for no reason?
|
To nitpick (who said “as always”?!) on this specific part of your post, none
of these touches the old spaghetti code:
— the MOC Pop-up Shop is (was/will be again?) on the v2/v3 part of the website,
— the Studio forum is totally separate code but for the shared authentication
which is on the v2/v3 side,
— ditto BDP, which is also, IIUC, how BL is making money and why TLG bought BL,
— and the merges don’t touch the code at all, which is why it’s painfully done
manually over several months rather than with a simple scripted database update
in one fell.

I count into groups of 5 too. I also have a checked cloth on my sorting table.
I spread out 5 of whatever into each square and it's super easy to count.
|
Count by 10, 5, or 2 (depends on the size & quantity).
Check by another count, like 9 or 3 (even → odd, not a multiple, so you catch
“by one” errors), or by another method.
For instance:
— method 1: 9+1 = 10, pick 9 (or 3x3), push in a corner, pick a 10th an put in
another place. Count the 10thes and the remainder (less than 10) to get the
total.
— method 2: 2x5 = 10, pick five times two or two times five, and push in a corner.
Don’t care about the total, just that the remainder is the same.
But then, I mostly only count received orders. When picking for a build, it’s
not really a problem if I’m wrong

If it's an existing set, you can part out the set into a want list.

I would propose a more precise definition?
To be considered Complete:
* Box and eventual Instructions may be missing if clearly described in the Lot.
|
So it’s for Used only?
| | If not, to be considered Incomplete:
* Box and Instructions may be missing if clearly described in the Lot.
* All eventual Inventoried Minifigures and Gears should be present.
* All eventual sticker Sheets should be present.
|
… or, for Used, stickers applied, or a mix of applied stickers and (incomplete)
sticker sheets.
| | * Other missing parts or items should represent a relatively minor value eg.
less than 10% of the total Average Price Guide Value of this parted out Set --
at the date of the lot upload/update.
If not, it should be listed as Custom Item.

USED: If instructions or box are missing, it is still considered COMPLETE if
these deficiencies are mentioned in the notes. However, for more serious
deficiencies, the listing must be marked as INCOMPLETE, and for very serious
deficiencies, it must be listed as a custom item.
|
Well, I guess the problem is in the definition of “serious” and “very serious.”
And saying “it’s on a case by case basis” won’t help those who genuinely want
to know how to list their sets without risking infringing.
(OTOH, rhetorical “what if” will still pop up anyway.)
| | NEW: If instructions or box are missing, it is INCOMPLETE at best. It may not
even be able to be listed as INCOMPLETE if the essence of the set is missing
(all the minifigures in an IP set) or if only a small portion of the whole is
present (i.e. a single minifigure or a part).
|
Wasn’t there a tolerance for new, not yet catalogued, minifigures, when only
the set entry exists (so, without an inventory yet)?

Tecnically less than 2000€ AND 30 orders per year.
|
Technically, it depends if you’re talking about the obligation to declare or
about the exception to not declare.
That is:
— you must declare if you’re OVER 2,000€ OR 30 orders in a year,
— you don’t have to declare if you’re UNDER 2,000€ AND 30 orders in a year.
IOW: you’re both right! Celebrate with wafles! 🧇🧇🧇

| | hi all. how do include my current parts list in wanted lists?
|
Hi,
If you want to “remove” the parts from your Wanted Lists (that is, automatically
change the Wanted and/or Have quantity), there’s no way to do that on the website
If you want to “only” transform your My Collection into a Wanted List, you could
do that on the website… but it’s a bit complicated (you need to export your collection,
then edit the file to replace all QTY with MINQTY, then paste the file on the
special tab on the upload page…).
The simplest is to use a third-party tool, like BrickStore, to manage your collection
and wanted lists.
BrickStore can read downloaded inventories (like My Collection; there’s an Export
function to ge the file) and Wanted Lists (there’s a download button in the WL;
BrickStore can also download them for you) and it can upload Wanted Lists. In
BrickStore, you can merge or diff your lists easily.

But this is about DAC-7, not about OSS & the €10k “Distance Selling” threshold.
AFAIK, DAC-7 wants to know for how much you sell, not what you buy.
And, again, there’s no proof that what you buy here, you sell here. At most,
if DAC-7 was interested in that, it would ask for your buying _separately_, not
“selling minus buying.”

Why?  The regulation asks for what you sell, not what you buy.
Of course you need to buy before you sell, but buying here is no different from
buying elsewhere.
(Besides, there’s also no way to know if you sell here what you buy here. You
might buy elswhere to sell here and buy here to sell elsewhere, hopefully for
you at a higher price each time.)
