2. When using the 'by category filter@ please show sub-totals by category


Can you elaborate on what you mean by these two points?

Of course

On the right hand side of the My Inventory page there are several options to
choose from, but one that is missing is colour. When I want to see how many dark
green 1 x 2 bricks I have I have to put in 3004 and look at hundreds to find
the dark green, rather than just choosing dark green 3004. You can do this if
you use the PCC but who know those off the top of their head.

On the sub totals when you see your inventory by category it is a simple list
broken by Sets, Parts etc. Rather than having to add up all the totals of lots,
items and value manually, it would be better if they were sub totalled so at
a glance I could see how many of each mainline category we have at any time.

Hoppe that makes it clearer if not let me know and I will put together some screen
shots of how we think it should look for easier use.

See below two very crude attachments - the first shows where we would like the
colour filter and the 2nd shows a small cut-out of the left hand side of the
MY inventory screen where your inventory is shown by category. We would like
subtotals after each main break e.g. sets, parts, minifigures, etc.

A summary at the bottom would be nice so at a glance you can see how your inventory
is broken down e.g.


Lots Items Value % of total

Sets xxxx xxxx xxxx
Parts xxxx xxxx xxxx
Minfigures xxxx xxxx xxxx

Again, at a glance one could tell a good deal more about your inventory from
this simple calculation.

Please consider the following:

It would also be a good idea to incorporate the ability to update selected inventory
items into a superlot.

In addition, whilst you can use external tools to work on pricing it would be
far better if that type of tool existed on the MY Inventory page.

We are aware there has been discussion over sellers tools since 2013, and these
things may or may not be in those new tools, however it is now 5 years since
that discussion began and to date, I am not sure anyone is aware of what may
or may not be coming.

We are led to believe that Admin_Jaclyn is project managing the sellers tools
- Could we have an indication as to what is being considered, please?

  Out of interest, I noticed some of your used plates are slightly more expensive
than your new ones. I've noticed this with my inventory before when I've
gone through to adjust pricing and wondered why / how this happened because obviously,
customers would pick out the new over used as it is cheaper.

Hello there

Thank you for your comments. Sometimes used is more expensive than new based
on demand and availability. Like you we would always buy new if that were the
case. We get buyers who buy the used even though new is less expensive. It doesn't
always marry up with logic and is part and parcel of the Bricklink/Lego world.

  Yesterday I added about 6000 dark green 1 x 1 plates to our inventory as we continue
to build up quantities of standard items. I listed them at our standard price
and then later on went to my inventory page, called up that item and added a
tiered price at 1p below our standard price for quantities of 100 or more. Fine
- no problem.

Today additional stock of that particular item came across my desk to be added
and I went to add the item - filled in all information to add the additional
pieces. Lo and behold the system removed my tiered price and set it back to 0.

As it is not really possible to remember all the items we have on tiered pricing,
I believe the system should either show you this or have an option to retain
tiered pricing.

Anyone else - or is there a workaround to ensuring the tiered pricing sticks.

The workaround is there - don't use the ad item screen. Go to my inventory
and simply change the quantity of the part and submit changes. Please consider
enhancing the normal add item screen to either see the pricing you have set up
or to retain any tiered pricing for that item.

Thanks.
