| A pretty straight forward suggestion that would remove the MSRP label from sets
once they are retired by LEGO.
This is really an optics issue, I believe most buyers would have a hard time
justifying the price paid for a retired set with the presumably lower MSRP staring
them in the face.

I believe people just want to complain about every topic.
But with all of your complaints, I have a suggestion;
"opt out", you read that correctly. Make the MSRP an 'opt in' or 'opt
out' device just as you have many other aspects for setting up your store
that could also be a choice.
You can begin your argument once again, have a nice day!

I would prefer to leave the MSRP, but also showing when the set has retired (year
and month). That should make it clear that it can no longer be found at that
price.

Sorry Joe... Although this is a reasonable suggestion I will have to vote no
because this suggestion will be an excuse for BrickLink to keep the MSRP on all
current sets. This suggestion gives BL an easy way out on that issue. But the
problem still remains, at least for current sets. The only way I could favor
showing the MSRP for current sets was if it were shown only when ALL listings
for that set on BL were below the MSRP. If one set is priced more than the MSRP,
then the MSRP should not be shown.
Moreover, as others noted, what good is it to show a cheaper US MSRP to buyers
in other countries?

Click on the MSRP - it shows MSRP for many countries and a graph comparing prices
- see 42006 as an example

As a Canadian buyer, I'm seeing the Canadian MSRP, so that seems to be working
fine.
I'm hoping that buyers for countries where MSRP information is not available
will not be shown the U.S. MSRP, that would certainly be misleading.

I could be wrong, but after checking a few recently retired sets, I see no MSRP
link. I was thinking that this was already the rule.

I agree. Adding it period was a bad move, but at least removing it from the retired
sets will eliminate some problems. I know that I personally, if I was new to
buying, would step down from buying a set, no matter what the value which I probably
wouldn't know, and would assume I could get it retail price somewhere if
it had the MSRP waving at me.
It would be great to have this put into action. I vote yes.

Sold out doesn't always mean retired. It might be sold out in one market,

Another number they should look at is the number of sets listed for sale by sellers.
This number is going to drop as well, at least for sets currently in production.
But maybe this is what they want. Get rid of listings for currently produced
sets priced more than the MSRP.

This is really an optics issue, I believe most buyers would have a hard time
justifying the price paid for a retired set with the presumably lower MSRP staring

I vote no.
I believe there are important things to worry about.

Based on what we have found, there is one set currently showing the original
MSRP of a retired set. Anybody find more? Perhaps the idea was to show the MSRP
of currently available sets? Just a guess, though.

8110-1 ... Remember this was just implemented, so a very small number of sets
have retired and had the MSRP tag.

I would much rather see the MSRP for a retired set, then for active sets. MSRP
for a retired set is neat historical information. I've personally paid $150+
for a MIB set from the mid-80's that was only two or three bucks when it
was released. It didn't stop me from dropping the money on the set.
