  Hi,

as a buyer, I found having only two choices for parts condition is far too basic
and not useful, mostly for buyers, but also for sellers who seek accuracy and
honesty regarding their inventory.

I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean .

It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all
the used parts, both hobbyist and professional has better use of their time I
guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.

And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".

A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.

Any thoughts?

Who will control the scores.

  I would like to be able to import my inventory into bricklink.com and see which
sets I can build, what is the completion %, for each set and which parts are
missing.
So I can quickly buy missing parts for these sets that I can build and then start
building new sets using the bricks I already have.

rebrickable.com already does this

From there you can create Wantlists and upload them into Bricklink.

  I am new to this. I created a store so i can begin to keep track of my extra
parts. Is there an easy way to add orders to my inventory?

I think it's possible this way:
Click the add to Wantlist button on the order details page or after checkout.
Or add the items in Wantlist icon in the settings of the orders Placed page.
Download the Wantlist and upload it to your inventory.

  Hi

It has been quite a while since I joined BrickLink, and for new members is there
any advice/info forwarded when joining (i.e ensure that you read the Sellers
Terms before Buying)

Just had a new member buy 1 part for 50p (UK), for delivery to Slovakia. Didn't
think he would buy once postage etc added.

Just had a message, thought it would be free postage.

Not a problem, as expecting it, but obviously he was not aware or made aware
of how Bricklink works.

Is such a thing in place or could it be added

Thanks

  Is there any reason why a function to part multiple unique sets can't implemented?

I think to avoid errors. The more different sets in one go the more likely to
have errors.

  For example it would save a huge amount of time if I could sort all the lots
from three copies of five different sets and pack everything away once, rather
than having to go through the whole part out process five times.

You can use Brickstock and upload the file.

In Catalog, runner.caller writes:
  Hello,

Let's say a minifig is inventoried with a b-blocked style head.

Would a minifig assembly be considered complete if it has the alternate head
c-hollow style given that the this style head is technically only an alternate
part for the set inventory that the minifig came in and not the minifig itself.

Some minifig entries have a note saying something like: "This minifigure has
been found with both the 'b' and 'c' style head."

I would consider it complete, but I could see an OCD collector expecting the
'correct' head style per the BL figure assembly. Even if 'correct'
is just arbitrarily which ever style was found by the first user when adding
to the catalog.

Obviously, this only applies to figures produced during the great transition
period.

It is complete if it can come with an alternate head.

  Hi,

Not sure if this has been brought up in earlier suggestions but I am giving it
a go anyway.

I would like to see the possibility of creating a coupon which is valid for all
buyers. Right now this is only limited to a certain username.

Kind Regards,

Simon

Sending mass coupons is disabled a few years ago because it was considered as
spam.

  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

You've a wonderful name.

You can use Brickset, Rebrickable.com or Brickstock.

Or use your Store Stockrooms on Bricklink.
