However, part of me is uncomfortable that Maggie or Ronald aren't at the
head of these discussions/changes, as if they are being side-stepped in this

They have been performing these duties for a long-time and I think it would go
a long way to create credibility in these decisions, if they were the voice of
the catalog reorganization process.

| No, I'm simply stating that the "rocket science" argument is flawed. It
implies that you don't need the intellect of a very scientific person, as
if said person has the capacity to know how to do everything very well.

| | So, you are saying it is difficult. We're talking about sellers here, people
who decide that they can handle selling Lego. Not every person who signs up on
Bricklink has to understand how to set up shipping methods. But I think it is
only fair that for the small portion of those members who really are serious
enough to get into selling, it should be expected of them that they're able
to handle it. If they're not, they should either ask for help or just use
some other way to sell Lego that they do understand (In fact, I think setting
things up at Brickowl is easier than at BL.)

not all weight/volume/value/country combinations are covered. I think it's
the sellers responsibility to make sure that they have it all covered, it's
not rocket science. But it is true it takes some concentration and staring at
the screen to make sure everything is OK, so an algorythm that checks if there
are no holes sounds like exactly the type of thing we have computers for.

| Instant checkout isn't so simple. You can think you have all bases covered,
but later discover something that prevents a buyer from ordering.
In addition, we have no way to test our setup or see a buyer's cart to troubleshoot
an issue.
I use instant checkout, though I would never recommend, as I'm certain to
have lost orders because of it not functioning quite right.
| | A size restriction sounds ridiculous, I never saw that... How can a buyer possibly
anticipate this? There's no way of knowing how big your order is going to
be, nor is it the job of the buyer to be a mathematician even if it was. I think
sellers should have shipping methods ready for all sizes.
But sounds like the lot average problem could actually be fixed by Bricklink
itself. If they flag stores who use it properly, it will solve this frustration
instantly for every store that uses it. And is this lot average indicated in
the listings, in the same way that minimum order is? I really think it should
be.

| | Minifig sh104 is incorrectly labelled as Power Man (Victor Alvarez). I don't
know where this confusion comes from, but this figure appears in the Ultimate
Spider-Man line that is based on the cartoon series of the same name. This is
what Power Man (Luke Cage) looks like in that cartoon. Victor Alvarez is a different
character that has only appeared in the comics and who has a similar appearance
to Luke in the cartoon. But officially and canonically, this is Luke Cage.
This distinction is important because Luke Cage is a very well known and popular
Marvel character that has appeared in several media including two seasons of
Netflix television, while Victor Alvarez is relatively obscure character that
has not been adapted into other media.

Default option. No one else can see your any of your lists.

Much like reserving items where you enter a user name. This would allow one
person of your choosing to view a specific list.

Something weird about the below subject. The rollover icons themselves can be
clicked on like a regular link in addition to the rolled over options.
| | To oversimplify what's actually going on here is this: Those top nav items
are not links. They are "rollover detectors" tied to a script. When your cursor
hovers over one of these areas, it triggers the script which then shows the dropdown
box containing links to pages. As the top nav items are not links, the browser
can't give you the right-click options to open the link in a new window because
the items aren't links. The items in the drop-downs are links, but the top-navs
aren't. Clicking the top nav activates something in the script which then
takes you to a page.

P.S. If someone were to analyse what functions each feature offers before designing

missing features.
Measure twice, cut once vs. measure once, cut it too short and have to start

| The site map on the old My BL page was quite handy and must more condensed than
the full site map.
I would like to suggest that it be added to the new page in some form. Maybe
a button that when clicked opens/expands the old map without changing pages,
if possible.
Also, the new page is nice to look at, but it has too much empty space leading
to unnecessary scrolling. Only half of the page is displayed on a 22" monitor
w/o scrolling, whereas before 3/4 of the page was displayed with 100% of the
major info on one.

| Please consider adding the option to add another column to the orders placed
page. I suspect that many of us using desktops have room to see the tracking
numbers next to our other selected options.

| There's something about the "Required" feature on wanted lists that doesn't
make sense to me. When I select "required" for a particular item, the system
doesn't factor in the quantity.
On my current list I need 2 piece of a rare(ish) part, so I select "required,"
but it still shows results of only 1 piece.
Is this working as intended? I would certainly like to be able to have some
control over quantity.

| I deleted my vote, however, I believe that bank transfers among individuals are
a path to unfair play. This is especially so when sellers charge extra for a
buyer to use a payment method that has some form of recourse against fraud.
This can even happen with honest people that don't intend to cause issues.
A seller gets extremely ill, coma, death, and is unable to ship the goods.
Unfortunately, it happens. I've read of at least 3 deaths, 1 coma, and various
other issues to BL members, since joining.
I will continue to use PayPal for this extra piece of mind that my buyers have
protection should something happen.

and the road towards it has collapsed behind me.. the more open this place is
to everyone, the better.. a few percent more scams but a manyfold multiplication
of the market potential.

| You took what I wrote and applied it to a completely different type of commerce.
My post clearly referred to e-commerce between individuals.
| | You're saying bank transfers are not in the spirit of fair e-commerce, but
here e-commerce is absolutely huge to the point that entire brick-and-mortar
shopping centers go empty, and almost all of that goes through bank transfers.

| Voted no.
In fairness for security of buyers, I would only vote yes if sellers were required
to offer a payment option that allowed recourse at no penalty (fees, etc).
Over the years I have read many forum messages about buyers losing money due
to using IBAN (often in the hundreds of $, euro). Bank transfers don't seem
to be in the spirit of fair e-commerce between individuals. Registered businesses
may be a different story.

| No, that is a hose nozzle that is already in the inventory:

| | See part # 4697b Light Bluish Gray Pneumatic T Piece (T Bar).
It appears in the 60021 instructions (Book 1 of 3, page 4, step 4) but does not
appear in the Lego parts list and of course not in the Bricklink parts list.
I happened to see this part in the Droideka minifigure in set #75092 Naboo Starfighter.
Part # 4697b needs to be added to the parts list for 60021. And perhaps the
nominal part for chainsaw handle could be added to the alternative parts for
60021.

| Incomplete listings that have sold can be excluded from the results. There's
a checkbox at the top of the price guide data.

| | I've noticed an issue with the price guide. Often times, the price guide
is inaccurate with sets because it doesn't differentiate between complete
and incomplete items sold. Often times sets without figures or just a small piece
of a set is sold that throws the values off.
I think that it would be a good idea to mark sets that are sold as incomplete
on the price guide and for these sales not to reflect the 6 month averages.

Comments from Submitter:
Good afternoon
I think the minifg cas102 (Black Falcon - Light Gray Legs with Black Hips, Dark Gray Chin-Guard) should include quiver, as other similar figures do (eg cas005).
This figure only appears in a set (6057-1) and in the instructions appears with the quiver. Thank you. Regards. Daniel
