With New, you can easily part out sets into your inventory. With Used, when

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track
down and list a single piece. Then the next one is the same piece, but you have
to list it differently because you want to note differences in condition and
price them accordingly. The only reason I can figure that people can make any
money at all on Used is they can often get hugely undervalued lots on sites like
Craigslist or by hitting up garage sales. Or, you know, you can price it higher
than New and hope people will buy it without paying attention because "Used is
always less expensive".

I have no idea what you mean by that. The inventories in the catalog are submitted
by users, and they're generally inventoried using new sets, not used.

Replace “to inventory” with “to put in your store’s inventory.”

That definitely changes the meaning, but it still doesn't make sense. Has
there been some change in the way parts are added to a store when they are used?

I understand a lot of people use BrickStock (or similar) but sellers tools are
scarce on BL.

Is the quote function broken? I had a quote come in 5 days ago and I had no notification

This is not acceptable.

Your site has duplicated lots on numerous occasions, this is not acceptable.

Also on numerous occasions I've had customers tell me that they cannot checkout
after ironing out potential issues I have found out it's the site, not me.
I've lost money to this and again, this is not acceptable.

Most things you post are vague from every angle and you sit in the shadows whilst
everyone is up in question. Regardless of if the feedback is good or bad you
still push out the garbage updates anyway. This is not acceptable.

Your site is very slow at times and it's getting more and more frustrating
when trying to work. All of a sudden the site will grind to a standstill. This
is not acceptable.

Your ability to inventory used Lego is appalling. Why not work on this rather
than Brickarms? that's right. Money. If it won't make you money then
you won't bother. This is not acceptable.

I sell on BrickOwl too and I've never had a single issue. You may be the
market leaders currently but your cockyness will catch up with you soon. I pay
my monthly fees on time every time and this is the mess I have to work with?
Can't it just 'work'? Why is everything difficult and half made?
Not acceptable. I'm tired of apologising to customers because of the issues
on this site. I dread to think how many people have turned away from my store
and not said anything.

I'm just frustrated and the quote issue lastnight was the tipping point for
me. Fix your site.

I'm aware there's trolls on here so please keep your witty comments to
yourself.

Good post.
Do not expect BL to answer. When Jennifer first announced that BL would answer
ALL questions and concerns before implementation. They never have. I just do
not understand whey they would say things that are not true.
I have been here for a very long time and have sold almost $500K in Lego, mostly
here and a lot on ebay and many from my posting on Lugnet. This site is not
what it used to be. At one time the site took the feelings and suggestions from
their members. They actually answered questions and more importantly, listened
to the members. That is no longer the case. Perhaps silence should be replaced
with give and take, and that just might help the site grow in a more positive
manner. It is really sad what has become of Dan's dream.

Not wanting to put words in OP’s mouth - to me it sounds like he is not having
issues with set inventories, but more with uploading used parts from a bulk lot
(so to put used parts in your inventory). That process, if only using BL-provided
tools, is painful. If it weren’t for BrickStock, I am sure our shop would not
flourish like it does right now.

I've been on BO for 3 weeks and in that time over 50 stores have opened.
Bricklink has 100 fewer stores than in the summer last year (UK stores). Small
sample size, but a sign of things to come?

I just listed 25 vintage sets on BrickOwl yesterday. I have a few other small
lots there but haven't haven't had a sale yet even with with my 800 feedback
boost (not really surprising, I guess, owing to my dearth of inventory). My
difficulty is deciding if/when to synch my inventory between both platforms.
I know there is software that will do this, but I just haven't had the time
required to sit down and learn it.

BrickOwl currently only accepts BrickStore and BrickOwl formats for inventory
uploads. I think if Lawrence developed an upload template that would accept
a BrickLink file format, he might see a surge in new sellers.

The Classic Wanted View By Shop still works.

You keep saying this in all the threads, and maybe I’m just dense, but Classic
is so inscrutable to me that it may as well also be broken.

(Just in case: You get Classic “By Shop” by clicking “Classic” then “By Shop”
on the menu bar in the WL page.)

It shows the list of stores ordered by the number of lots or items they have.
That’s exactly what you get on the (new) “Buy” page just after loading it (when
it works

).

What Classic doesn’t have:
1. no Auto-Select, no Easy-Buy,
2. no way to select items to look for, it’s whole WLs or nothing,
3. no way to quickly see exactly what items each store has without opening the
store,
4. no way to select a store / preselect items to buy (thus removing the items
from the list of items to look for and updating the list of stores),
5. and undoubtedly other things I don’t remember right now.

Well, at least, you still have a list of stores with items in your WL….

But doing so yields an unpleasant surprise: my response is sent to a black hole

I (now) know that the member address can be found in the body of the email, but
two things:

1 - Would I ever really want to reply to 'blservice@bricklink.com'? (No)

2 - Replying on a mobile device where copying text segments (the email address)
isn't very easy makes this situation worse

I can't think of any good reason that the sending member's address ISN'T

You don't have to click submit after just one. You can pick a new status

Okay, I get how we all love that nothing ever changes and that we love to keep
stuff the way it is but seriously, the guy is absolutely right!!!
And I am sure that this is the reason why there are about 100 people in this
forum when the site is used by thousands!
Even though you can click on a million buttons to make it look like you want
it to, it should look like that from the start and not with clicking links on
the bottom of a page every single time you want to read something.

The studio beta forum is what a normal forum should look like. It's been
invented... probably about 25 years ago!

- Nadine

All you have to do is set up a page with the setting you like and then save it
as a favorite up on your favorites bar and you wont have to keep clicking on
the options. Just do it once and all is well.

As far as changing the way it looks, I am all for that. I love the changes BL
has done so far. The only reason I kind of got on the guys case was because he
was complaining (with more of an attitude) about things that need to be changed
but was not even willing to see if the options he wanted already existed. He
complained even before he took just a couple of minutes to learn what options
existed.

I totally agree. I've always thought that it was worded rudely.

Just used the new "BUY" feature. I was so happy with it at first... until I realized
it didn't subtract the ordered quantities from my wanted list. Just the option
of going in and doing it manually. What's the use? I has made WAY more work
than it has saved. VERY misleading.

It didn't do it for you on the old BrickLink so I am not sure how it is "WAY
more work." With the new "have" feature, which BrickLink is still fixing a few
bugs on, it's actually WAY easier to keep track of everything.

It most certainly did. After completing a purchase, there was a button to "Remove
items from Wanted List". Worked like a charm. I used it (literally) hundreds
of times.

You mean the "See items in order on wanted list" which would bring up all the
wanted list items in your order and then you could delete them if you wanted?

Because that can be switched on and off in your settings and can be accessed
on your orders page. See this post: http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=993808

Thank you for your help, and thank you for having the vintage pieces I needed
to recreate my police boat from 1978. I thought I had dealt with you in the past.
I did have to turn that function on in my settings. It still doesn't do
what I expect it to. I got a chance last night to try it out. I think I'm
throwing an extreme situation at this new BUY function, and my expectations are
way too high. I'm trying to build 5 of the 7 Speed Racer vehicles. I have
them on 4 separate wanted lists. 300+ pieces in 86 lots, with identical lots
on several of them. This is what I had to go through to adjust everything....
Followed the link provided after purchase to the "Search Wanted List" page...
Manually adjusted several quantities (took notes on the partial quantities before
i placed the order). Broke the list into four pages. 100 items per page option
would have come in handy. Had to make sure I saved each individual page.
Then.. apply each of the four wanted lists (will only apply ONE list or ALL,
no option for multiple... check boxes would be handy here). Or at least I thought
so. It doesn't work correctly. I had one list selected, and it showed entries
for ALL of my wanted lists. Not just the ones present in this order. That caught
me by surprise. That wasn't very common (3 lots), but it could have been
very irritating on those future projects. After catching that, and thinking I
had a grasp on this, I realize that I had hit the delete button and had failed
to "un-check" the partial qty lots that I had just adjusted. Went back and fixed
that..
It just seems to me like all the information is there, and it's not being
used efficiently. The quantity’s that I ordered are there. I don't understand
why I can't be done with fewer steps. Not gonna mess with a "have" function.
Have and % of completion are useless to me and will surely irritate me even more.
I don't need Bricklink to keep track of what i have. If I need 20 of something,
and I buy 15 from a vendor, all I need is for the WANT qty to change to 5. I
think that’s pretty simple. I spent a couple of hours last night trying to figure
this out. I feel like I'm spending an extensive amount of time doing something
that BrickLink should be able to do in seconds. That means less time to shop
and spend money.
I do admit, this is the most complicated order I've ever made. I think my
high hopes and expectations for the BUY function coaxed me into it. It wouldn't
be this difficult if I had chosen to purchase ONLY full quantities, AND not had
so many identical lots scattered throughout several wanted lists. Then it would
work pretty similar to old version and I wouldn't be whining.

Now, you have the option of applying an order to a wanted list. On the new Wanted
List page, select the wanted list in question, and then click the Apply Order
button at the top of the list.

The "Apply Order" button seems to assume that I only order for one wanted list
at a time. Also, for some reason is does not seem to work always but I have not
tested that more.

At the same time the "Items in order on wanted list" has gained a bug and gives
incomplete results.
