  With shipping cost being very expensive where I live I tend to order large quantities
or bricks at once to justify shipping costs. Still, making an order is extremely
expensive for the relatively few pieces I order. I would like a method to cross
reference wishlists with parts available in official sets, so I can buy the sets
that have most of the parts I need and order the remaining on bricklink. This
tool could also be useful to sellers that need to source bulk parts for unofficial
kits, or for just finding the best source of parts.

I think that Rebrickable.com does that.
You enter parts and it tells you which set you can build.

  Is it possible to add a folder feature to the Wanted List?

You can add multiple Wantlists.

  Hi, might be a stupid question, but I have had a long running problem with the
search box.
Is it just me, maybe a browser issue? I am using Chrome.

Just now I typed in 4032(2x2 round plate) and it would not bring it up.Tried
it 3 times. Yet when I checked the catalogue manually that is the correct number.

I can go to google to search Lego and 98% of the time just a single search shows
me what I want on the first try.

Thanks.

More experienced users are encouraged to use the advanced Catalog Search:

  Sorry if this has been discussed before but couldnt find any posts

How do I add my orders and everything I have brought to my own inventory. So
I know exactly what I have . I seem to be recounting bricks over and over to
check and see what I have. It would be so much easier to look at my inventory
and see and know exactly what I have. I don't have a shop on here .my inventory
is for my own reference

Thanks in advance

Peter

Perhaps this also works:
On your Orders placed page download the order to xml and upload the file to your
inventory.

  When I want to place multiple orders with the same shop, the site adds the second
order to the first order. So the bill from the first order is on its way, and
the second bill is not just for the second order, but it automaticaly includes
the firtst order as well.
While I want to have them seperate. Is there a way to avoid this?
Rommelse

I think a new order is automatically added to an existing order if the first
order is not marked “paid” by the buyer or marked as “packed” or “ shipped” by
the seller.

If a seller has Instant Checkout enabled and you use an on-site payment method,
you can sort of avoid the merging of the orders.

Correct. Just pay the final invoice.

  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
