That really should be fixed as well. Can't see any reason why it couldn't
be. When the buyer finally goes to checkout, the lots could be checked against
the current state of the lots in the store and if there is a difference (including
price/qty) it could bring up an error page stating what changed and refresh the
cart.

The current issue with sales is that a buyer could essentially get the sale price

Also, I'd like to be able to set a timer if, say, a Buyer wants to cut a

for a certain time period, say 24 hours at whatever price we've discussed.
Take it or leave it, price goes back to original after X amount of time.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

on this pattern. Today was a nice full about 3 hours. And bla bla bla lol.

Some day I am lol. Plus I normally sleep when the sun is up which makes it hard
to get in a deep sleep. I do get lucky from time to time and get 5-6 hours in
and its pretty rare to get over 7. Most days though its about 4 hours avg. One
day I will just fall over. But then again when im working full time that 70-80
hours a week 5 days. lol I always get cracked up when someone say "glad my 5
days is up, was a long week" and I ask them how many hours they worked and they
say 41. I am like I do that in about 3 days and then I tell them I work almost
double what most people do avg. It does kill me sometimes though, up all night,
sleep in the day, super long hours. Anyway.

If sellers have 20/20 foresight and can tell the future, they know when to shutdown
their store *before* they become sick, before that car accident that leaves them
in a coma in the hospital, before the massive power outage that shuts down their
city.

How many sellers on BL are great at predicting the future?

I know I'm not. Otherwise I would have shut my store down BEFORE the massive
power outage that is currently affecting my area.


My suggestion is this: Change the current lower minimum time on auto-shutdown
of av store from 3 days to something more realistic like 1 day ....or even 12
hours.

Technically, I can't see BL having a problem with that ... they auto-disconnect
users after 15 - 30 minutes of browser inactivity and preform daily site maintenance.
Surely doing a daily check on stores that have not been active in the last 24
hours (only for those sellers who actively select that time frame), is possible.

BL may have some philosophical or ethical reason for this 3 day limit, but I
can not see what it could be.

The current 3 day limit only exacerbates the situation and does not make for
happy buyers or sellers. Buyers are unhappy because their sellers are ignoring
them; Sellers are unhappy as is soon as they are back on their feet physically
or electronically, they may have to go into over-drive to process the backlog
of orders that occurred before they could shutdown their store

Who knows more about when and how often a given seller logs into his/her store?
The store owner or BrickLink?

Grumpy seller still without power after 1.5 days ...and 3 new orders to process
when I do get power back

I say yes to both post! lol

1 day is fine. Basically 1,2,3,4,5 days max. If you haven't logged in in
5 days something is most likely wrong or you are on a beach and could care a
less lol. I don't think less then 1 day is needed. Cause if you sleep and
then get up and eat maybe run the kids to school stop by the store boom 12 hours
is long past. Unless your on the 3-4 hour sleep thing sadly I know someone
on this pattern. Today was a nice full about 3 hours. And bla bla bla lol.

in every essence of the word, the epitome of hypocrisy.

Thor


....and with that you have just redefined the definition of "the epitome of hypocrisy"!


As someone suggested you really need to step back and take another look at your
posts.

IF there was an award for "too personal" you surely would be in the running.

You do remember that you brought your own personal life to this LEGO forum on
more than one occasion.

In all seriousness take the advice of your 'friends' here and try looking
at your own actions and responses to them.

I do not claim to be an expert at anything but we have been here for some 12
years now and I have seen the best best and worst of things.

I have to admit you know exactly what you are doing when you post so as to get
a long and heated discussion going while slowly digressing onto other agendas.

A talent probably best suited for a discussion board, not so much of any real
value to a toy (Lego) forum.

Perfect insight. Well said and thank you for your observations. We all need
to be calmer about this.
John P

Are you and Sue seriously equating seeking forum advice on a personal matter
with personally attacking someone because of a suggestion they make? Wow! That
has got to be the most ludicrously irrational and nonsensically desperate gotta
hate on Thor comment I have ever read in this Forum. I know some of you do this
for sport. But you and Sue need to go back to being fourth string benchwarmers
in the minors.

I am very grateful that more than a dozen Forum readers were gracious enough
to share with me their own personal experiences and kind helpful advice when
I reached out here for some help. Shortly after doing so, however, I was also
warned that my haters would use this against me. And sure enough, here they are
perverting a sincere reaching out to the community.

Be careful everyone. Don't dare share anything personal about your life.
Don't dare reach out for help or a kind word of support if life gets tough.
Because some here might use it to justify personally attacking you on any other
matter.

Thor

That is so true. The forum is not the place to do that. See Foster, we agree
on something. And I did not say anything about your personal life as you did
when you questioned my memory problems a few years ago, but that is another story.
Personally I do not care what family or personal problems you have and I said
nothing about them. I will say I hope you are doing better.
John P


John it was your post to which I was referring.


"Foster:

Have you ever stopped to consider why so many threads that you post to become
personal and lead to acrimony and name calling and degenerate into you against
the others? You should stop and ask yourself why. What you say you started
as a hope to a discussion is now off track with several people being denigrated
by you."

You too have been here since 2003 and I would hope that he would at least take
some advise from you and back off just a bit as to not encourage the responses
that are so common.

I agree this toy forum is not a place to air personal issues but that I guess
is up to the individual. I would never post on a public forum for any sort of
personal advise but to each their own.

Our posts were not attacks, they were responses to comments made previously by
the OP.
Taken out of context (or twisted around) they may appear that way however that
was certainly not the intent.


However this looks like it was directed rather firmly at a couple people.....

If you see a fire common sense tells you to call for help or try to put it out.

I guess once in a while things just burn to the ground regardless.

What a shame.

seriously you just said that? lets look at your feedback, hmm smaller then mine,

with less then 5 or 10 years from posting? and lets see I've sold a lot here
before, did rather well, helped with other things on this site, your comment
would be akin to say ignore the old or those over 40 years of age or 50 or 60
since they do nothing, congrats you made my stoplist for being insulting.

my bad your already on it for stoplisting me

I notice by myself that I'm getting more and more irritated by lengthy posts
from 'sellers' who have nothing to sell, yet they have very strong opinions
on everything going on here on BL. Not only Thor, but Rick_S as well.

You are absolutely right. We all know the Forum is only for sellers. If you are
not selling anything, you have no business posting here or expressing any opinions
about what goes on here on BL. LOL! It keeps getting absurder and absurder.

Thor

Then lets drop this and neither of us answer any more posts on the subject.

  claims about me getting too personal. They are,
in every essence of the word, the epitome of hypocrisy.

Thor


....and with that you have just redefined the definition of "the epitome of hypocrisy"!


As someone suggested you really need to step back and take another look at your
posts.

IF there was an award for "too personal" you surely would be in the running.

You do remember that you brought your own personal life to this LEGO forum on
more than one occasion.

In all seriousness take the advice of your 'friends' here and try looking
at your own actions and responses to them.

I do not claim to be an expert at anything but we have been here for some 12
years now and I have seen the best best and worst of things.

I have to admit you know exactly what you are doing when you post so as to get
a long and heated discussion going while slowly digressing onto other agendas.

A talent probably best suited for a discussion board, not so much of any real
value to a toy (Lego) forum.

Perfect insight. Well said and thank you for your observations. We all need
to be calmer about this.

Are you and Sue seriously equating seeking forum advice on a personal matter
with personally attacking someone because of a suggestion they make? Wow! That
has got to be the most ludicrously irrational and nonsensically desperate gotta
hate on Thor comment I have ever read in this Forum. I know some of you do this
for sport. But you and Sue need to go back to being fourth string benchwarmers
in the minors.

I am very grateful that more than a dozen Forum readers were gracious enough
to share with me their own personal experiences and kind helpful advice when
I reached out here for some help. Shortly after doing so, however, I was also
warned that my haters would use this against me. And sure enough, here they are
perverting a sincere reaching out to the community.

Be careful everyone. Don't dare share anything personal about your life.
Don't dare reach out for help or a kind word of support if life gets tough.
Because some here might use it to justify personally attacking you on any other
matter.

Thor

That is so true. The forum is not the place to do that. See Foster, we agree
on something. And I did not say anything about your personal life as you did
when you questioned my memory problems a few years ago, but that is another story.
Personally I do not care what family or personal problems you have and I said
nothing about them. I will say I hope you are doing better.

  I'm not sure if this would be implemented or it can be done already, but
as a seller, I like to add stock to my inventory via the catalogue tab.

When the colour guide comes up, it shows the available parts in the colours,
Wanted lists, Price guide and Known colours, and the ones in my inventory underneath
the first column.

I would like to have 'my inventory' above the 'lots for sale'
section as it will save me having to scroll down every time I want to list a
part that I have 'retained when sold out'

I'm sure alot of sellers would agree with me on this?

Paul

(If these can be swapped already, please show me how!)

Has anyone even seen what I am asking?

  BrickLink should prohibit vigilante orders like the one noted in this thread:

http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=193629

Vigilante orders are bogus orders members place with a store they believe to
be a scammer with the intent to protect other members from being scammed before
BrickLink has time to act on any complaints about such a store. While vigilantes
may claim their intentions are good, I believe there are too many risks and potential
problems with self-appointing oneself as cop, prosecutor, judge and jury in such
a manner.

For one thing, the vigilante may turn out to be incorrect in believing a new
seller to be a scammer. By placing his bogus order, the vigilante harms the new
seller, buyers who might otherwise order from such seller, and the vigilante
himself who now risks an NPB or legal action for breach of contract.

Second, these vigilante orders mess up the Price Guide by validating the bogus
prices to the detriment of others who rely on the Price Guide later.

As others said, two wrongs don't make a right. Placing an order is a binding
contract and, regardless of your reasons, it is just plain wrong to place an
order without any intent of following through with it.

Allowing these vigilante orders will create further problems down the road. If
you justify vigilante orders for new sellers who are thought to be scammers,
someone later on will justify them for not-so-new sellers whose terms they subjectively
believe are invalid, or for seller they think take too long to ship, or for sellers
they believe don't honor PayPal's terms, etc., etc. Once you allow these
vigilante orders, where do you draw the line?

BrickLink should never delegate to any member the power to shut down a store.
Allowing these vigilante orders would effectively make every member an Admin
with the ability to shut down any store they want if they subjectively feel they
are helping other members by doing so. This is a dangerous slippery slope that
should stay exclusively within BrickLink's power.

As such, any member caught making a vigilante order should receive an automatic
NPB.

Thor


As long as the individual is willing to take the consequences for placing such
an order, I don't see what the problem is. I would have more of a problem
if someone who placed such as order so was trying to get out of the consequences
than actually making such an order.
There are some things that are worth doing for the sake of the community which
are well worth the consequences. I think that it should be left up to the conscience
and discretion of the individual and if he is willing to accept the consequences
for doing so (without trying to make excuses for getting out of the consequences).
They should confess what they did to those in authority over them, and tell them
that they are willing to accept whatever consequence the authorities thinks fit.
If it is a just cause, then the consequences are irrelevant to the person who
broke such rules to place such an order.
However, some authorites are more lenient, and may drop the charges against the
offender -- but the one who broke the rules should never assume that this
will be the case, and should humbly and respectfully understand that they are
under the sole mercy of the authorities.

If this is the attitude of the indivdual who places such orders for what they
believe is the protection and betterment of the community, then I will let the
authorities determine the penalty, and not myself.
