you can add the category but if there is a price discreprency don't count
on many using it, furthermore some of them resell sets so no clue if those sets
are bricklinked either.

If someone has an original set, but lost a part and bricklinked it, does it become
“not original”?
If not, if it’s sold as original and the next owner lose a part and BL it?
How many parts need to be BLed for the set to become “not original”?

And will the next suggestion be “add percentage of BLed parts in the set”?



I see the idea here. I think they are more on the lines of like the people that
buy all the parts for a UCS MF. A couple parts is one thing, but an entire set
is another. And I also see why they would want something like this. Like on the
older sets. Even though its the same part its different. You can tell by looking
and touching the pieces. Something changed over the years. Like a different plastic
or mold or something. Hard to explain but you can tell on somethings especially
when comparing the same part from a old set (talking 90s-early 2000's vs
say 2010 forward).

Forgot to add this.

So if you have a bricklinked set and it has some of the old original parts and
some brand new parts and several different mold variations, it might look like
crap lol. Kinda like faded part next a new. Or used next to new. Or old grays
next to new blueish grays.

Bricklink this is one I think should be put in place.

When you go to buy items in your want lists, it ask you to select the want lists
you want to buy from. Well I have like 60+ lists (one for each set) so I have
to click ever single one each time I want to run a search to find items. But
there is a deselect button there so I can unclick all in one shot, but can we
add a select all button?? A small suggestion, but try clicking 60+ times before
you even start your search lol. Thanks

  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

  That's.... Actually a good idea. It would have to be a minimum of five reports
within say one week before it gets shut down (and it resets every week). Otherwise
sellers or members who don't like each other would just spam each others
stores with reports and keep them closed.

I would suggest that once a store has been checked out by the bricklnk admin
it should be exempt from further automatic suspensions to prevent rival stores
starting a war. And only apply to zero feedback stores.


There are sellers on ebay that do this. They set up account sell a bunch of $1
free shipping items, build up 100 feedback or so, then unload all the really
big items. Its a much sneakier scam. Give them the trust of a decent feedback
score and boom. So they could do the same on here. Actually sell a couple cheap
items and then drop the high $ stuff. Just so they could get past that 1 or 2
feedback rule.

Honestly anything put in place someone will find a way around it. But the main
key is to slow it way down. 75% stop rate would be awesome. Even if every idea
I have ever read about on here were all in place right now, there would still
be people getting around all of them. Its just a fact. Where there is a honest
way to make some money (big or small), just know the bad guys are not far behind.
They can sniff it out. And most times bad guys are one step ahead. You fix a
hole in the fence, they tunnel under the fence, you build it deep in the ground,
they get a ladder and climb over. But you don't just leave the hole and think
they will stop coming though. So something needs to start being put in place
to at least really slow them down, before this place becomes like a mine field.

New - was built once and displayed.
Complete - missing figs, missing this part, different color on this part.
Sealed - box opened to verify contents.

There are several others, fakes listed under real. etc etc etc

Im sure others here can post about others things like this that are wrong.


But the rules are there, can you guys start cleaning them up? We shouldn't
have to report ever one we see. And there is a good chance if a seller listed
one wrong they have more. And its not just a mis-click. I would think there would
be some kinda search on you guys end where you can put complete and missing in
the same search and could clear up a ton of the bad listings. Maybe not, but
can it be worked on? Cause what good is clicking the exclude incomplete if its
listed as complete. Or looking at new if the used is listed as new. You have
the rules, enforce them!!!!

It's a shame this was discarded. I see a LOT of value in this idea, quite
frankly.

I would assume it's a matter of cost - is the labor available to police seller
listings? Could that be offset by some code that searches for items listed as
complete but have a comment with "missing" tagged to it? Sealed with "open/opened"
tagged to it? That could be a compromise (until people figure out alternative
words to use).

Maybe another alternative is to instead focus on enforcement/punishment if reported
on, as some (not all - some people are just jerks - but def some!) may be based
on seller misunderstanding or not bothering to read the rules.

First time reported/caught: a polite warning (upon admin verification of the
problem). If not resolved within 30 days, that store is locked by admin until
resolved. Second time reported/caught: if more than a single item (I can see
someone accidentally missing an item the first fix if they have a lot), your
store is locked for 30-60 days automatically. Hey, you KNEW. Third time caught:
if admin review shows willing violation, the store is shut down and username/email
address banned.

I have to guess Bricklink has limited funds from our fees so have to balance
labor spent on this vs. labor spent on new features, etc. A level playing field
is important though!

Yea the ban thing might be a little harsh but if there are real abusers then
little the punishment fit the crime. Its very easy to be listing sealed sets
and then list a used and forget to click. Or its late and you click the wrong
thing. But those will be stores that only have 1-2 listings like this. When you
check a store and they have 50+ 100+ or more of these type listings it is no
misclick. They need to figure out a way to get rid of this stuff, other then
just relying on people on here to help them out and let them know each time.
Unless they want to give a little kick back for each one (very doubtful) The
price guide is so out of wack its BAD and I mean BAD! If needs cleaned up, so
people actually have a idea what to pay when buying and what to price at when
selling. And the really big thing it is a clear violation of the rules. And im
in no way talking about those 1 off things like a misclick. We all make mistakes,
its those people that know they are doing it but just trying to get over on people.
And where its really hurts everyone is when it burns a new buyer that doesn't
understand the games being played. And how to look up everything and figure it
out. The real seasoned people on here know and can spot it a lot of times. But
if this is your first time and you don't know all the rules and ins and out,
and you get burned. Guess what there is a really good chance you leave and NEVER
come back. How many buyers have we lost on here that something like this happend
on there very first deal? I am guessing a LOT. A number that any of us on here
don't want to know about. But its like why have rules at all? Just do what
ever the hell you want on here, no one is enforcing the rules. Just get rid of
them just takeing of space and just a waste of words. lol Not mad here, just
more like WOW.

Bricklink could we put this one in place??????

I personally am thinking about cutting off intentional orders. Just doesn't
feel worth it on smaller orders, plus there is extra work, more fees, buyer wanting
to cancel cause there order is $17 and shipping is about $13. I don't blame
them for thinking thats high shipping vs cost of the order, but what can we due
when those are the prices. But $15 shipping on $50 not so crazy looking to a
buyer.

Those you think will, won't. Those you think won't, will.

Just mailed a 1.8 kg order of instructions to Germany ...the 6 or 7 sets of
instructions only totalled something like $13 ...where as shipping was $46.

He paid, I shipped.

And then you get the buyer B&M because their order that weighs 520 grams can't
ship as Light Packet / Lettermail and will have to ship via a more expensive
mode and want to cancel.

Not sure that separate minimums would be the solution.

Maybe wouldn't fix the whole shipping part, but would help the whole is it
worth it to sell international. When I was only selling sets was no big deal
at all. But I have had a few parts orders that got just a couple cents over my
min and made me think do I want to keep selling out of the USA. A side for the
whole shipping thing, the fees are still higher, more work (customs forums, somethings
have to be took to the PO).

Why could it not just be put in place? Kinda like you can chose to take paypal
or check etc. Why not $10 USA and $25 outside of USA? Or 10 Euro in Euro zone
and $25 Euro outside the zone? Maybe some people use it, others don't. Just
would be nice to have a choice. I don't get many out of USA orders anymore
anyway, so I might just cut them off. Hate to but it is what it is. I just don't
feel its worth it on a $15 order when fees and other things almost come up to
half. Cause when shipping is $15 and order is $15 I pay over half the order in
fees, as that doubles the fees. And the fees are higher so its even more then
half. lol

Could sales posts be put somewhere where they don't clog up the main feed
in the forum? Maybe where you have to click to get to them. I don't mind
1-2 here and there. But most times when I go to read I have to pass 50+ sales
post. And there are those people that EVERY SINGLE DAY post about adding 1 of
this and 2 of these. And their never ending 99% off sales. Is it even a sale
if its been that way since day one when you opened your store, now a year later?
I know people are trying to get sales, but come on. Its bad. When you see 10
post and 3-4 of them are about a sale makes me almost not even want to read the
forum. And yes I am not on here like I used to be, but I do still read and learn.
And like to chime in with help if I can. Honestly are people getting that many
orders from these sales posts? I don't honestly believe they are. Most times
when I actually click on a store from a sales post, im out of that store about
10 seconds later. Which im not the best person to get a idea about this part
since I have only bought a few times ever on here. But anyway can we move them
somewhere that doesn't clog up the main feed? So that people that are looking
for help or have something important to say can and not be buried 20 mins later
due to the non stop sale this sale that. WE ALL KNOW your store is on sale and
has been and will be and that you have x of this and y of that and add a new
item each day. I really have lost some interest in the forum as a whole just
due to this one issue!

This post was not directed at any one poster. Been something I was going to post
a few days ago but just got to. Not trying to offend anyone, just to me getting
out of hand.

  Suggestion: only moderators can change the subject line.

The past couple of weeks I noticed that some posters in the forum frequently
change the subject line. This is not a good thing. For instance:
The original post was: "Does this qualify for an NSS". But then somebody changed
it to "Seller does not respond".
This is very confusing for anybody and especially for new users.

+1

I agree. "Instant Checkout" started as something else as well. Don't we
have forum moderators any more?



I don't understand what makes it confusing.

If the topic of a new message is different than it was before, it makes sense
to change the subject line. And if a message is a reply to a previous message,
it makes sense for it to be threaded properly.

Marc.

For an innocent derailment, sure. But most of the time that "feature" is used
by someone to argue their point. Better to let a mod keep an eye on things and
change the title when relevant.


Okay. That's a different reason than "It's confusing".

The fact that someone can reply to this message and change the subject line to
"Marc is a fool" doesn't particularly bother me.


--
Marc.

Sorry, had to be done.

Please present your case.......



We'll, for starters he stated early on in this thread that subject changes
are not confusing, and yet he has also gleefully participated in exploring every
possible way that it CAN be confusing. Perhaps not "foolish" per second, but
certainly far short of wise.


Wait... what am I arguing again?

--
Marc.

As entertaining as this is, there's something much more important starting
in 15 minutes, so you'll have to carry on without me.

I called my buddy to see if he wanted me to come over and watch the Colts game.
But no answer or txt back. Sleeping during the day. We act like we work all
night. CRAZY.....

  Suggestion: only moderators can change the subject line.

The past couple of weeks I noticed that some posters in the forum frequently
change the subject line. This is not a good thing. For instance:
The original post was: "Does this qualify for an NSS". But then somebody changed
it to "Seller does not respond".
This is very confusing for anybody and especially for new users.

I agree. "Instant Checkout" started as something else as well. Don't we
have forum moderators any more?



I don't understand what makes it confusing.

If the topic of a new message is different than it was before, it makes sense
to change the subject line. And if a message is a reply to a previous message,
it makes sense for it to be threaded properly.

For an innocent derailment, sure. But most of the time that "feature" is used
by someone to argue their point. Better to let a mod keep an eye on things and
change the title when relevant.


Okay. That's a different reason than "It's confusing".

The fact that someone can reply to this message and change the subject line to
"Marc is a fool" doesn't particularly bother me.

Sorry, had to be done.

Please present your case.......

I rest my case.

I have heard both sides of this matter. And I find him guilty. Case closed. lol

Honestly though I don't see it as a problem. If the whole conversation has
changed then why not the topic. And I don't think it happens that much to
worry about it at all. Once or twice here and there. But most times its stays
the same or someone adds a extra word or 2 to it. There are way bigger things
that need addressed on here before this would even be considered to be put on
a waiting list to me.

Agreed, it's harder to keep track of replies even if you know how the system
works.

Lol. This thread is almost guaranteed to end up with the most subject changes
of any discussion in BrickLink history.
