Oh, you're just jealous because I found a 1980s train set which has the parts
list printed right on the set box, which makes it ridiculously easy to see exactly
what was included.

  Did you know if you submit the exact same inventory request 37 times in a row that you will get a prize? It's a super-secret Easter egg built deep into the site code by Dan himself.

I never believed it myself, but one day I tried it just to see and it's true! About a week later I got a brand new McLaren P1 delivered to my house - and it wasn't a toy or model, but a real automobile.

I've heard from a very reliable source that they send someone to eliminate you if you try it more than once, so I never tried again. Besides, the cost of even just changing the oil in my P1 is outrageous.

The above source supporting this inventory change request is undeniable and fact-based.

That image is currently visible when clicking on the instructions entry for the
set. As far as changing how it is viewed/where it is located, that is a request
you would need to make to the catalog administrators.

This guys already provided the source 5 years ago. He opened a MISB/MIB set:
https://steinwurf.wordpress.com/2013/12/06/vier-fenster-fur-ein-halleluja/

The relevent photos are
https://steinwurf.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/7810-04.jpg?

https://steinwurf.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/7810-05.jpg?

I do not have any sourve for keeping 3040 as alternate. The chance that was included
in later releases of this set is low I think.

Comments from Submitter:
This part should be included as a counterpart to set 60064, similar to 60034.

Yes they are similar. Printing is the same but shape of sticer is different,
look at the attached photo. Despite that your request will be accepted, printing
is the same, place where sticker is applied also. Only a note about this shape
of sticker must be added to this part.

An error! Thank you.

  Normally old inventories with no source are unreliable when it comes to variants.
This particular submitter, though, is an expert on Classic Space, and when I
have contacted him in the past he has been able to defend all of his old inventories
with sealed set contents.

To be clear, my earlier comment wasn't meant to question the original submitter's
good faith; I realize it could have been inferred as such, which was unintended.

But to follow up on a previous remark, how can we know b-type is more common
(cf: rules) from a sample of one, anyway?
I can't dismiss the original inventory as innacurate; what I can do is ask
for further input from others to establish precedence between versions, thus
properly following the rules as they stand. I suppose a review of the rules themselves
would be out of the question?

In the meanwhile - please advise how to proceed. Should I add a-type as alternate,
for the sake of inclusion?

I used to report errors of incomplete sets listed as complete using the Bricklink
problem center form, and it used to work a while ago, but the requests stopped
being acted upon, (even the most blatant examples), so I stopped submitting them.

  
Yes all of them - I was thinking of a database query and automated email or
something like that. But really I was just venting some frustration. I know Bricklink
isn't going to do anything about this.

It's not so much that the instructions were wrong. The early Technic sets
each had a history of significant improvements. Many of them have multiple versions
of instructions (see this Bricklist):

https://brickset.com/sets/list-18333

...and often there are further improvements visible from box photos and early
advertising (see this post - corrected links are posted later in the thread):

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1027168

In this case it appears Lego added 2 more of the "new" 16-tooth gears to replace
a 24-tooth and an 8-tooth. This was likely to reduce the speed of the engine
when the model was being pushed fast.

Typically parts were simply added to the roster when improvements were made.
So I would say that there should be 2 regular and 1 extra of the small gears.
2 are necessary anyway to build the lathe shown on the side of the box (and 4
of the 24-tooth gears).

The 40-tooth gear isn't necessary to build any of the models, btw - it's
used for adding an electric motor. But growing up, this was the only 40-tooth
gear I had, so I was glad they included it! It should of course remain in the
Regular section.

In Inventories Requests, SezaR writes:
  Now I remember better
On the box, middle top, the gears on the engine are different than what we can
find in instructions. At the time, I was puzzled and proud for this discovery.
There were also some mistakes in the instructions.
We can see in the image that two small gears 3647 were used. Indeed, on the right
side, two
 
Part No: 4019  Name: Technic, Gear 16 Tooth - Axle Hole with Open Sides
* 
4019 Technic, Gear 16 Tooth - Axle Hole with Open Sides
Parts: Technic, Gear
were replaced by one
 
Part No: 3647  Name: Technic, Gear 8 Tooth
* 
3647 Technic, Gear 8 Tooth
Parts: Technic, Gear
and one
 
Part No: x187  Name: Technic, Gear 24 Tooth with 3 Axle Holes
* 
x187 Technic, Gear 24 Tooth with 3 Axle Holes
Parts: Technic, Gear
.
There were a third 3647 as extra.
I don't know one 3647 should be added as regular and one as extra or two
as extras.

In Inventories Requests, SezaR writes:
  This may help:
One gear 3647 is used for the main model. If you check the instructions, after
the end of main model, it shows how to add a motor. I believe the second 3647
is meant for this putting on the motor. There was also an extra.

For many years, this set was my sole source of technic parts.

I have all the columns opened up, and the tax information isn't there. It
also isn't calculated in the total amount received from buyers.

It definitely shows on invoices, which is where I look for the address when I
know tax was collected, but to find those orders, I have to look through my filed
orders.

However, I'm rather dissatisfied with that standard because it's somewhat
difficult to know which version of a part appeared more frequently, especially
for older sets. I'd prefer to see the variation which appeared first listed
as regular and any later variations listed as an alternates.

Agreed. In fact, there's an extra layer of awkwardness in this set's
inventory - it is the only set from 1985 (and in fact, the first ever)
which lists type 4085b as primary.
It's been 15 years since the original inventory and therefore it'd be
preposterous to ask whether the souce was MISB or not; I strongly suspect
it not to have been so.

Normally old inventories with no source are unreliable when it comes to variants.
This particular submitter, though, is an expert on Classic Space, and when I
have contacted him in the past he has been able to defend all of his old inventories
with sealed set contents.

However, this particular part presents a real problem, because up until just
a few years ago there were not good images showing all the variants side by side.
Even now there are some BL members (certain of them experienced) who have trouble
distinguishing the different types.

In fact, back in 2005 this element was mentioned here (in german): https://www.1000steine.de/de/gemeinschaft/forum/?entry=1&id=165413
as having a b-type since 1986, and a c-type since 1993. That discussion does
not prove anything in itself, and nonetheless... cries "uncommon" regarding b-type
in 1985. Which should be enough for now, as per the current standard

I'll follow elias3's lead and consider a-type as regular, and b-type
as alternate. Should I submit a brand new request, then?

And I'd say otherwise; in fact, the eighties saw the introduction of grooved
tiles, but not grooved jumper plates.
Which made up for some pretty ugly sides on models - but I digress.
Would you kindly provide one example of one eighties set with a grooved
jumper? In fact, I'll settle for one from the late nineties, and thus consider
your point proven.

All jumper plates produced in the 20th century are the same, ungrooved type; this particular change is requires for consistency with the "sources" for this superset.

Should be there, might be called additional charges #2. Shows on invoices as
sales tax.

Alas, it is not.

For those of us that collect sales tax, having that field in the order download
spreadsheet would be extremely helpful, along with the street address and city/zip
code. All of this information is required when filing sales taxes in NY.

Thank you for all you do!

"Sounds like a lot of work? You are probably losing money too. The average
sold price is lower than it should be because so many incomplete sets are being
sold as complete. If sellers saw the real average price they would set their
prices higher and Bricklink would benefit from the higher commission.""

Same for boxes of minifigs where SETS instead of boxes are listed, causing an
average price for the boxes far too low.

You can find that information on this page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562

The standard is that the most commonly-appearing part is the regular and the
less-common part is the alternate. I believe this standard was enacted to make
errors less likely when parting out sets.

However, I'm rather dissatisfied with that standard because it's somewhat
difficult to know which version of a part appeared more frequently, especially
for older sets. I'd prefer to see the variation which appeared first listed
as regular and any later variations listed as an alternates.

I don't really keep track of that. You can find the information here, though:

It looks like the most recent day with no inventory requests approved was February
7th.

I'm not sure I would consider it an inconsistency. It's more of a general
misunderstanding of the purpose of the Extra Items section of an inventory.
This section exists to make it easier to deal with potentially-appearing
extras when parting out sets.

When extras are added to inventories only after being verified as appearing in
brand new sets, then I think the extras section is reliable enough to fulfill
its purpose. What I'd like to avoid are extras submitted because 49 sets
contained the extra so it is assumed the 50th must, too. I gathered this was
the approach you might be taking with the red 3070b, which is why I questioned
you on the white lever.

As for which extras are approved or not approved, I admit that there are few
ways to verify the veracity of these types of requests. I look at the totality
of the circumstances and make a decision.

  For example, I submit to you that not a single set from my childhood, no matter
how small, came with a solitary lever in it

This is a good observation, but a small sample size and likely only representative
of a single area of production. Nevertheless, I agree that some extras are nearly
guaranteed to appear in a set no matter when or where it was purchased. And
you finding extra levers in all of those new sets means that every set in which
you found an extra lever should have the extra listed as such in the inventory.

  I do not add what I am not sure of.

Thank you for that.

Your request has been approved.

I try to keep one inventory change request for each day. How many days in a row

This set is from 1983 so the early version hinges were used.

Otherwise, this blogger did our job easier. He opened a sealed set and took photos

If you use translater, he states that the bags were sealed (except some bigger
parts that did not come in a bag)
https://steinwurf.wordpress.com/2014/07/19/bahnhof-7824/

The relevent photos are (photos 1-3 attached):
https://steinwurf.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/7824-01.jpg

https://steinwurf.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/7824-04.jpg

We can see all red hinges and half of black hinges in the photo.
Note that this is not the earliest release of this set, even if the clips 4081a
are the earlier version. The earliest release of this set had a different kind
of box (4th photo attached):

Alas, it is not.

Absolutely sure, regarding the lever (which I kept as the car radio antenna from
the day I got the MISB set until last December, when it was taken off for display).
My set was never - ever - mixed.
I was admittedly vague regarding the aforementioned red tile - please see below.

  
  there was an extra red 3070b in this set. Is it consistent with LEGO extra-part policy at the time?

As far as I'm aware, there was and is no official LEGO extra-part policy
(although I'm willing to admit that such a policy may exist).

Extras can vary by region and date of manufacture. Some occur with far greater
reliability than others, but none should be assumed to be included just because
they came in every other set released.

That's why extras should only be added to an inventory when a member has
found them in a brand new set.

That is precisely why I did not add the red tile. I vaguely remember one kept
inside the grey suitcase, but it wasn't there now. Did I take it out long
ago? Did it fell? Was it ever even there? Not sure, ergo - not added.
If anything, take my comment as a "heads up" to anyone about to engage in the
more or less improbable exercise of doing a repeat inventory of this 30-year-old
MISB set

I notice however an inconsistency in your last paragraph: if there is never
a 100% reliable way to know which extras come in which set, and it is
an exercise in probability anyway, then it becomes a matter of faith to consider
any extra part. Which ones do you choose to validate/discard, then?
For example, I submit to you that not a single set from my childhood, no matter
how small, came with a solitary lever in it; let's say the universe is 50
sets with levers. Thus (and feel free to correct my rusty statistical skills)
I'm fairly sure it's more unlikely to have been a simple coincidence
than to have been an "undeclared policy".
One can refute such claim rather easily - provide one MISB set from the
mid- to late-eighties with no extra levers. From a philosophical POV, it is enough
to deny my inference, and I'll gladly yield. And consider myself blessed
for all those levers I shouldn't have gotten

Again, I maintain that I do not add what I am not sure of. This particular lever
DOES appear in my set as extra. The above consideration is not to be understood
as more than an invitation for reflection, regarding the inevitable uncertainty
around extras.

I seem to recall there was an extra red 3070b in this set, along with this lever. Is it consistent with LEGO extra-part policy at the time?

Yes.
Open a WL.
Click “More Options” next to its search field.
Right column, “Items for Sale Options:” click “Show” and look at the options
below, especially the sorting option as by “Store Name” is the stupid and useless
default.
Then click “Apply”.

Note that there’s a “Best Price” sorting option next to “Lowest” and “Highest”
but no one knows what that means.

I hope your not suggestion that BL do a sweep by checking each and every listing
of every set listed by every seller or even just the least expensive listing
of each and every set? If you are then that would take so much time and effort
that it would be, well for lack of a better word, ridiculous. If I have miss
understand you then I apologize.

Yes all of them - I was thinking of a database query and automated email or
something like that. But really I was just venting some frustration. I know Bricklink
isn't going to do anything about this.

Hi,

There is any way to see, in the new wanted list, the most cheap stores for each
part in a wanted list as I can do in the old/classic wanted list?

Thank you!

  I don’t want to open a can of worms here, but I think this is a valid suggestion.

Can BL create a fourth entry for a set where is states:

‘Set Entry | Instructions Entry | Original Box Entry’

to become

‘Set Entry | Minibuild Entry | Instructions Entry | Original Box Entry’ ?

The ‘Minibuild Entry’ would contain the valid minibuilds (new and used) from
a set. Sellers are selling minibuilds anyway under 'Set Entry' as new-incomplete
and used-incomplete with the minibuld definition the description.

Separating out the minibuilds would...
- clean up the 'Set Entry';
- improve average pricing effectiveness;
- create an additional avenue for buyers and sellers

Comments from Submitter:
Based on my own copy of the set (acquired in late 1986). None of my sets dated before 1987 ever had any "type 2", although perhaps they could have been alternates in sets with longer production runs.

Hi

Set was available till 1987.
Maybe type 2 came in the last run?
Same for the 4081a or -b part.

Best to have both in the set, first the -a and as alternate the -b type.

Part 4276a and -b already in inv.

Just saying...

Or accept that if you do not want to sell a complete set, then you are selling
an incomplete set or just parts.

Just saying...

  If you select PayPal Marketplace as picabo suggests, you will not be able to
revert back to your current Onsite PayPal method.

Except they promised that you would be able to if you so choose. As yet, nobody
has reported having any success with this.

  There was little information required to enable Onsite PayPal (whether complete
or incomplete as BrickLink information goes), however PayPal Marketplace in my
opinion is a more intrusive agreement.

The fact that you _can't_ back out of it, even when promises were made that
you could, is proof enough that it's more intrusive to some degree. The
explanations for how Marketplace works show at least some of the extent to which
this is true.

  Serious question then as I want my store to have the best policies.

I dont sell sets as a rule but I have 1 listed as complete BUT I dont have the
box. Is it still complete.

I genuinely want advice and would happily amend. but if I list it as incomplete
due to missing box would I then loose views as customers assume that it is missing
parts.

Your comment regarding Mini-figures is correct and this does mess up the average
price of sets. A mini-figure is a part and if missing then the set is most definitively
not complete.

  I recently listed another batch of used sets. Once again in reviewing prices
I found in most cases the cheapest one available for sale is listed as "complete"
but missing minifigures.

Bricklink can't you do a sweep of these errant listings and send the seller
a warning? Maybe query sets that are listed as complete but have the word "missing"
or "no minifigs" in the comments

I know you don't want to make changes automatically (the seller could have
written "no missing minifigures" or something) but it is a long and slow process
to find these one by one. And there are thousands of them listed.

Sounds like a lot of work? You are probably losing money too. The average
sold price is lower than it should be because so many incomplete sets are being
sold as complete. If sellers saw the real average price they would set their
prices higher and Bricklink would benefit from the higher commission.

For example I recently listed Star Wars set. The cheapest 3 currently available
(listed as complete) are $15, $20 and $24. None of them are complete according
to the sellers description.

The average sold for this set is $22 but since 3 of the sold sets were prices
$15, $15 and $21 they were probably incomplete but sold as complete and now are
polluting the price guide. The correct average sold is about $27

I hope your not suggestion that BL do a sweep by checking each and every listing
of every set listed by every seller or even just the least expensive listing
of each and every set? If you are then that would take so much time and effort
that it would be, well for lack of a better word, ridiculous. If I have miss
understand you then I apologize.
