Is there a "hey you just purchased these parts from your wanted list and

Not a link but some copy-pasta:
There is the “Apply Order” feature (but there’s caveats).
It’s a button on the top row when you visit a Wanted List (WL).
Click on it, it’ll show a dialog to choose an order.
The “application” will change the “Have” fields.
The “Want” fields will stay unchanged.
The progression percentage will change.
BUT
1. You have to be careful because you can apply the same order multiple times,
even on the same list. It doesn’t remember what it did. So if you have several
WLs, and they share some parts, it’ll let you think you bought everything when
you might not.
(E.g. you have 10x Red 2x4 bricks in WL1 and WL2, so a total of 20x, you buy
15x, you apply the order to the two lists, and the two lists have a “Have” of
10x. Not good.)
So it works well when you have only one WL.
2. The “Want” fields are unchanged. AFAIR, the “Have” field is not used consistently
everywhere: sometimes it’s the “Want minus Have” quantity that’s used (good),
sometimes it’s “Want” and “Have” is disregarded (bad). It’s generally an option/filter.
And there’s also problems with lots in the colour N/A (means “any” in a WL).
The ordered lots have a real colour, not N/A, so they don’t match the N/A lots
in the WL.
So, I do it with searches, lot per lot, and “order-lists”:
— make a WL from your order (you can do that from the cart, just after checkout,
or from the order details page),
— search your order in all your WLs (you can do that in the Search page for WLs:
menu Want | Search),
— all your WLs will be searched/shown, including the “order-list,”
— you can directly edit your WLs from the search results.
For instance, if you want item X in WL1 and WL2 and if you bought that item X,
the search will show lines for item X: one for WL1, one for WL2, and one for
the “order-list.” So you’ll easily see how many you wanted and how many you
bought.
Note though that the N/A colour is still a problem here (you ordered an item
with a colour which is generally not N/A, so it doesn’t match the colour in the
WL).
Also, it’s not because an item has been ordered that you have it; wait for it
to arrive before deleting it from your WL.
TL;DR: You can also use BrickStore to manage your lists and orders.

| | Hi all,
Lately I have been seeing more small orders where the shipping costs are many
times the actual value of the parts.
Why don't people wait until the order is a bit larger and in proportion to
the shipping costs. Are people afraid that the parts will no longer be there
(fomo)?
Are other sellers also seeing this trend?
Thoughts?

We have had customers from overseas order just a single item that costs less
then a dollar and still pay the $20.00 shipping fee and the $1.50 fee for orders
less then $10.00, That means they end up paying $21.50 for a 50 cent part and
with instant checkout they know the cost and pay it at the time of checkout.
It always amazes me when we get an order like that but every now and then we
get an overseas order like that.
Looking at our past 100 orders we have had 10 that were less then one dollar
from US customers. People quite often need just a couple of parts. We know this
so we dont have any store minimums - we dont really make much off an order like
that so that is why we have the $1.50 fee for orders less then $10.00 so that
we can at least cover the cost of fees and packaging materials while giving customers
the choice to place small orders. And again, because of instant checkout they
know the cost up front so no surprises.

| | Just read an article declaring the very real possibility of AI chatbots being
able to guide us in controlling our lucid dreams, foremost in order to explore
lost memories. Can you imagine the potential in that, I hardly can. Not just
the for the obvious therapeutic benefits, but the possibility of accessing more
of the remaining 86% (on average) of the human brain never before utilized.
The potential of building neural networks into that vast region of virgin space,
considering that the utmost complex entity known, still is the human brain. Imagine
then the possibilities of using more of it.
Though don't know just how close that achievement practically is, they're
somewhat vague with that info. But just the idea of it seriously being explored...
Going to pull a later incoming order, before exploring that lucid dream control
~Goodnight
|
I can see that being used for brainwashing in the future.
|
Very good point. Thought about that too. But after pondering the article, decided
to focus instead on the better angels of our character
|
I hope this is used for good, but with all the evil people in the world I’d rather
not control my dreams(not worth the potential loss.)
|
And btw, not that it would assuage your concerns much, but just to be fair: the
article spoke of it's use as a "guide" to aide an individual in controlling
their own dreams in search of so-called 'lost' memories, basically suppressed
memories. Actually very exciting potential in this application of AI, when/if
we ever get there
|
In search of lost memories? Why is my big question, is all this really necessary?
|
If we're beginning there, with that question, you'll need to first do
some work yourself in understanding the significance of accessing suppressed
memories, especially to the mental health profession. Which is just a starting
point for such a consequential technology, should it be realized.
You raised a disturbing possibility given it's potency in the wrong
hands, understandable. But now imagine that same potency in other hands making
ours lives better, advancing humanity. Powerful tools are not to be feared if
human nature is fully understood, imho.
Take care now
|
I like your positivity towards the idea, and I would be excited too, but with
the state of leadership and the crookedness of the mental health profession I
can’t see this going too far in the right direction. I really wish it could
just be used for good but it unfortunately won’t be.😔
|
Like I said, understandable sentiment.
For me what's more exciting is the prospect of expanding our neural pathways
into the vast spaces of the brain where the yet inexplicably dense population
of neurons are without synapses. And of course I'm not referring the so-called
"100% use" of the brain, by area. But rather the densely packed spaces
of cell potential throughout the entire brain. Brain mass not area, iow.
Some already having fun with it, hypothesizing how in principle it could be facilitated
using the same tech. I know it may never be realized. Nevertheless, it's
fun to ponder the possible human achievements ahead, using more of our cerebral
capacity.

It’s just like the guy back in the 80’s who figured out how to make a vehicle
go 1000 miles on 1 gallon of diesel, what happened to him? He mysteriously died,
and his idea was censored.

Its real, but as best I can tell it glitches. I have mine set to go off after
a certain number of days logged off, and occasionally it will make me do it twice
in a day even though I log in daily.

| Because parts vanish from your cart, and boy, it stings a lot:
Parts in carts are NOT reserved for you
Other buyers get them while you wait
You come back later and puff, you see some parts vanished.
result? less parts means the order SHRINKS, the contrary of what you asked.
Believe me: if you put things in cart and wait to add some some, soon enough
(hours or even minutes), you'll see the dreaded OUT-OF-STOCK message.
every order "parked as a cart" shrinks, shrinks, shrinks!
To get bigger orders:
- provide an "open order" method to make us order & pay in partial, then
we continue shopping.

might be hackers phishing for info....
had that occuring in oone of my other stores a few years ago, once i reported
the weirdness directly to paypal it seemed to stop.
'buyers' were buying $1.00 board game pieces with $6.00 shipping.. ????
spot check the addresses on a few of the orders.. see if it is actually a legit
place or if the person even exists

Addresses are legit and the parts are very specific.
When I buy I always throw in some random pieces from the store I know I can use
later.

When I first started selling online when I was younger I sold many board game
parts where shipping was multiple X what the items value was. Not sure why that’s
weird? If you need a board game piece to complete you game your gunna buy it
regardless of its $1 plus $5 shipping or $5 plus $1 shipping. If they were
phishing for info it would make more sense to buy things like stamps (or perhaps
coins if they are shipped with stamps in the states) which would cost them much
less

| | Hallo 
ich bin seit ein paar Wochen auch als Seller auf Bricklink.
Generell sammle ich einen Haufen Minifiguren und hab daher auch immer wieder
viele Teile die ich nicht mehr brauche. BL ist eine super Möglichkeit die einzeln
zu verkaufen, da Ebay und Co. für sowas keine gute Alternative sind.
Jedenfalls mach ich selbst auf BL allein nicht annähernd irgendeinen Gewinn dadurch
dass ich selbst viel bestelle und dann kommen noch die ganzen Käufe von Lego,
Kleinanzeigen etc. dazu
Ich hab gesehen, dass tatsächlich viele Shops in meiner Größe ~3.000 Parts und
großer kein Impressum und nichts in den Terms haben, das also alles privat machen.
Habe aber trotzdem etwas Bammel wie das das Finanzamt sieht da BL durch das Plattformtransparenzgesetz
mich ja ab 30 Bestellungen melden wird.
Hat da jemand von euch Erfahrung oder verkauft jmd anderes hier noch privat?
|
Here may help?
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1466832
A maximum before declaration seems to be 2000€/year AND 30 orders/year.
I'm not sure if professionnal or "private" makes a difference.
|
Thanks for the reply
Yeah since 2023 the EU adopted the law that every plattform has to report their
sellers when they are above 30 sales or 2.000€ in a year.
Im already above 30 sales this year and basically my question is if anyone in
Germany has experience with private selling and crossing the border of 30 sales
here.
|
But the point is, starting this year, experience doesn't matter.
BrickLink will declare this shop to "IRS", and you'll have to provide
numbers and personal info.
