Hi BL'ers,

Sorry for my English. Is it an idea to make a personal catalog in Bricklink in
which you can inventory the sets which you own? And maybe inventory missing parts
or sets and put them on your wanted list or order them?

Shall give a nice view of your collection.

Best regards and enjoy your lego.

Like to hear from you.

From the Netherlands, Wilbert

Thank you for this and for the other work you're continually doing behind
the scenes to improve the catalog and inventory systems.

Little improvements like this have been needed for many, many years and you've
made many of them since you've been there.

I looked through the open catalog requests and there doesn't seem to be one
for this. It could be a site development issue, but I'm not sure so I'm
making it a catalog request.

There are 3,000 books in the catalog and volunteers willing to do a little work
to make those entries more complete. It won't be so easy if we wait to add
the alternate item number field until we have two or three times that many books
(or more) in the catalog.

Thank you for considering this request.

This suggestion has now been implemented.

I just bought a MacBook Pro and it is very fast! But it has got me wishing that
Bricklink had a seller feature that would automatically have the average price
(or what ever price you set it as) put in the box while adding items like brickOwl
does. I also love how brickOwl has the option to add the same part in multiple
colors at the same time and I really wish Bricklink had the same! I also like
it that if I posted a suggestion in the BrickOwl Forum for a new seller feature,
it would be done in a matter of a few minutes (most likely). I hope this seller
feature suggestion can be acted upon quickly and not years later to never.

This already exists, use your default selling settings: https://www.bricklink.com/invOptionsAdd.asp

I didn't see any setting for adding individual items. There is only one
for parting out sets.

Dear bricklink development team,

Currently the "Part Out Value" page shows the value in average, which may not
be accurate if any seller posts an item with very high, or inaccurate price.

To better represent the part out value of a set, we need to add the following
additional metrics:
1. Standard deviation of the Average value shown
2. Median value
3. Breakdown list of all items with the above metrics for each item. Additionally
we would like to see the count for each item.

Thanks

Way too much attention is paid to average prices as it is. Just consider what
the average sold price is...

across markets/ countries

all stores big and small

stores that price fairly and those that charge add ons

all orders - single lot/ multiple lot

It is also dangerous to purchase based on part-out sold prices anyway as many
parts might have sold for an average prixe of X but in some cases there are many
100's of times of the part for sale than have ever sold!

Focusing on making the average "more accurate" is IMO a diversion and not a good
way of optimising inventory investment decisions. If it was just a mathematical
excercise to determine what to buy this place would be even more swamped with
inventory and prices would drop further.

I always vote no to these enhancements to averages for these reasons, I think
these average values mislead many.

Just take look at the last 6 months average and then figure out what your price
is going to be if you aren't satisfied with the average. And yes I know
the last 6 months avg is going to deviate over time, but your price (the amount
you expect to get for each piece) will not deviate unless you change your prices.

In short, the last 6 months avg is just a guage. Make your prices whatever you
want if you don't like the average price. If the avg is $100 for a parted
out set and you want $110, then upload everything with a 10% increase. It's
not rocket science.
