This old item on Ebay was advertized as NEW sealed.
We cannot see Yellow 4624c03 Wheel or 4073c01 Black Plate, nevertheless I submitted
them to be added. Should we get other photos showing these parts too?


I never found part 4073 in a set on a Sprue.

It appears you don't have any sealed sets of your own, but you are just copying
images from website (which actually is forbidden). Why delete part 4073 and add
these on a sprue?
My guess is that about 95% of all sets have these plates in it. Are you going
to add change requests for all sets.

I noticed there are some good changes concerning inventories, but this really
is going to far. I'm sure that I'm not the only one with this opinion?!

I do not have any particular opinion about this but the inventory admins have
decided that the parts should be presented in inventoreis AS they appears in
the sealed set. See

And assemblies are only to be changed to regular if they came assembled in a
set.
If not, they should be added (or kept) as a counterpart.

There are more changes to be made, but I will need more time for that. Some time ago I added flower sprues as extra items. These were added to sets as extra more often.

Imo the other items to be added, should not Always be considered as extra items, for they could be part of an alternative build and are never added as extra by the Lego Company.

Note:
Jumpers type 3794a verified (without part-id)

Hi,

I've been busy for over an hour to check this change request. Very hard,
because some changes already were approved and some not. It looked like the whole
inventory would be wrong, so many change requests

First let me explain how inventory changes were made and denied or approved back
then (and still?).
- wheel assemblies were not allowed to add to the inventory as regular, but only
as counterpart. This is the very first time I see that a change request like
this (counterpart to regular) is approved. A lot of discussions passed, saying
that in sets the trainrims came always assembled to the wheels.

This is only true for black trainrims as far as I know. It is not true for light
gray rims coming with 12v trains.

  - removing items from an inventory was forbidden, because one couldn't tell
that the submitter really had this item in a sealed set (bricklink didn't
keep history (and still doesn't?). So if your removal requests would be approved,
that also would be the first time for me to experience

My request to remove x461b from 7750 was approved. I had(and have) checked about
200 used and about 10 sealed copies.

https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=235742

Side discussion: For some strange reason, I have not seen any copy of 7750 release
in 1981 or 1982 (only 1980). I have not seen any copy of 7730 in Netherlands
or Belgium. Both sets were advertised between 1980-1982 in various catalogs.
The set 7730 was released for the very first time in UK or Italy since summer
1982 (I don't know about France, but I think the same happened there) I have
seen copies of 7730 from 1980, 1981 and 1982 in Germany.

  
I didn't list the inventory of this set. And if I would have, I wouldn't
have been able to verify it. I added part 996bc96gray, because I found it in
my sealed set 107-1.


Very interesting.
There are many mistakes or incompleteness on inventories concerning wires. I
always thought TLG discountinued 1-prong connectors in very early 1970.
If you have this set as kept in its original condition,then two questions are
important:
1) was there any catalog in your Italian set? what catalog and from what year?
2) I guess your set came with this motor
 
Part No: x469b  Name: Electric, Motor 4.5V Type C 12 x 4 x 3 1/3 (Train)
* 
x469b (Inv) Electric, Motor 4.5V Type C 12 x 4 x 3 1/3 (Train)
Parts: Electric, Motor
Could you please open the motor and check the production date written on the
motor? That would give us good information.
It would also be nice if you can take some photos and upload them here.

  Unfortunately, when verifying an inventory, it's not possible to add any
comments.
Otherwise I would have added the whole inventory of my sealed set as a comment.
Which contains the new added electric wire, black technice axles and rest like
the regular parts in the inventory.

So, imo there's no need to have any doubts about the verification of this
inventory.
For the sealed set I have (or had, for it's not sealed anymore ), contains
one of the alternates of the inventory.

I do have my doubts though about the blue connector and white wire. In all these
years I never found any proof, that sets from this period had blue connectors
of any kind.


  
Some questions for you:
- my sets has a blue seal, one of yours also have and it looks like the set is
not sealed anymore. the box is open at the back and you could easily remove the
wire and see of what type it is. the picture doesn't show the kind of connectors
- your picture of the other box shows gray connectors, which type of connector
is in your sets?
- why would you want to add part x466c96blue, as your set has gray connectors?

There are not many sealed copies of this set in the market but you can already
found two used copies of this set on Markplaats right now, coming with these
blue connectors.
If you give me more time, I may find photo of a sealed set coping with blue connectors.

  
If you want to add items, just because it's shown on a picture of the box
or in a cataglue, please don't. I think that is also the reason the inventory
submitter added the blue connector. That would be number 6 (for the lised connector
is another one). There's no way this set came with 6 different connectors.

Not only 6, I think we should add one more wire
This set was released since 1976. I know the Canadian version was in production
at least until 1984
http://www.youblisher.com/p/1030479-1984-Canada-LEGO-Catalog/

and UK 1984 catalog
https://images.brickset.com/library/Catalogues/c84uk1.pdf

This is a rough more-or-less timeline of connectors:

1971 or 1972 until 1976, BLUE
[p=bb141c01]
1977 or 1978 until end of 1979: light gray
[p=bb141c01]
1980: (light gray)
[p=bb81c01]
1981-1994
 
Part No: 766c01  Name: Electric, Connector, 2-Way Male Squared Narrow Long with Center Post
* 
766c01 (Inv) Electric, Connector, 2-Way Male Squared Narrow Long with Center Post
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector
Also
1980-1993:
 
Part No: 765c01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Squared
* 
765c01 (Inv) Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Squared
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

I also made a mistake (and I meant mistkaes by myself not you ) : I got confused
between blue bb141c01 and blue bb236ac01

The connector was definitely used on this set as this set was released until
1984 and came with motor with contact hole with
 
Part No: x469bopen  Name: Electric, Motor 4.5V Type D 12 x 4 x 3 1/3 with Open Contacts (Train)
* 
x469bopen (Inv) Electric, Motor 4.5V Type D 12 x 4 x 3 1/3 with Open Contacts (Train)
Parts: Electric, Motor

  
My conclusion:
- do not remove 996bc96gray, for this is (so far) the only electric wire that
is proved to be found in a sealed set
- remove the blue connector and white wire
- move 996bc96gray from alternate to regular
- switch the axles, black to regular and white to alternate (never saw a 107-1
with white axles)

Marek, is it possible to leave this request open? I am busy now, but I can work
more on it.

The best proof is a sealed set, the worst a used set on Marktplaats.
I have a lot of boxes and a lot of parts. If I put some in a box, this doesn't
mean it was sold like this back in the seventies.

Now I opened a sealed set back in 2010 to check the contents.
Not many people will do that. And now you are asking me to open a NEW motor?
Sorry, but I won't do that.

I would appreciate it if next time you contact the submitter, before you request
to remove an item from an inventory. Luckily Marek contacted me about this request.

Thank you very much, You have no idea how much I appreciate this!

  First let me explain how inventory changes were made and denied or approved back
then (and still?).

Many, many things changed form that time

  - wheel assemblies were not allowed to add to the inventory as regular, but only
as counterpart. This is the very first time I see that a change request like
this (counterpart to regular) is approved. A lot of discussions passed, saying
that in sets the trainrims came always assembled to the wheels.

From some time we approve and change assmbled wheels with tires from old sets
to regular section, we want to have regular section to match with how set looks
like when was new, sealed. So if parts came on sprues, such parts should be in
regural section, if wheels and tires came assembled in sealed set they should
be such in regular section etc. (even recently we accepted for the first time
string reel assembly to the regular section).


  - removing items from an inventory was forbidden, because one couldn't tell
that the submitter really had this item in a sealed set (bricklink didn't
keep history (and still doesn't?). So if your removal requests would be approved,
that also would be the first time for me to experience

We approve items removal from sets. Now topics on forum for all invetories change
requests which are approved are no longer purged. They are now preserved forever
(till Bricklink will be exist ) for future people. So history is now kept.
Nobody in future will once again wonder why this part discussed here was added
So all you comment and input here will now stay and will be able to check.
I approved from this change request wheels assemblies so this discussion for
this set will be preserved. Only older ones which already were purged are purged
and we don't know the reasons behind these changes when they are disputable.

  My conclusion:
- do not remove 996bc96gray, for this is (so far) the only electric wire that
is prooved to be found in a sealed set
- remove the blue connector and white wire
- move 996bc96gray from alternate to regular
- switch the axles, black to regular and white to alternate (never saw a 107-1
with white axles)

Thank you for this. Will you submit this as new inventory change requests when
I will reject rest pending ones for this set?
I will only wait with formal decission to give chance Sezar to respond to all
of this.

Thank you once again
Marek

Hi Marek,

Sounds great these changes.
In the meantime I added my change request:

If you would checked change log for this set
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=107-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1
you would noticed that this change was done
Apr 6, 2010 by member TakeAbricK (she added this part to the inventory) and after
this change 4 days later she confirmed accuracy of this set
  TakeAbricK (7400) confirmed accuracy of this inventory on Apr 10, 2010. (source: Sealed Set Contents)

So she checked sealed set contents here and I have no reasons not to believe
her then.

Looks like there was an example of this set having this early vartiant of connectors
(confirmed from sealed set contents). Unfortunatly forum messages of change requests
from 2010 are all purged now so if in this change request was something it is
gone.

I had not seen that the content was checked via a sealed set. Does that mean
that that sealed set came with this wire?
By the way, mistakes can happen, specially from my side.
I am sure you have checked

Do you mean ME by YOU?

This connector was added to the catalogue by a friend of mine, specialised in
old parts up to the Pat Pend Period. The wire was added to the catalogue by me.
These connectors (banana plug) don't exist in gray. The connectors on my
wire from set 107-1 are from a very different kind.

  Since 1972 or even before, TLG already started to use 2-prong connectors because
these connectors would stay better inside contact holes.

Maybe the submitted can also give us some information about that sealed set in
2010?

Hope all information I gave is to your satisfaction.
A long story short. I bought a sealed set 107-1. Checked the inventory. Found
another electric wire in it. Added it to the catalogue. After approval added
it to the inventory. After approval verified the inventory (source: sealed set).

Hi,

I've been busy for over an hour to check this change request. Very hard,
because some changes already were approved and some not. It looked like the whole
inventory would be wrong, so many change requests

First let me explain how inventory changes were made and denied or approved back
then (and still?).
- wheel assemblies were not allowed to add to the inventory as regular, but only
as counterpart. This is the very first time I see that a change request like
this (counterpart to regular) is approved. A lot of discussions passed, saying
that in sets the trainrims came always assembled to the wheels.
- removing items from an inventory was forbidden, because one couldn't tell
that the submitter really had this item in a sealed set (bricklink didn't
keep history (and still doesn't?). So if your removal requests would be approved,
that also would be the first time for me to experience

I didn't list the inventiry of this set. And if I would have, I wouldn't
have been able to verify it. I added part 996bc96gray, because I found it in
my sealed set 107-1.

Unfortunately, when verifying an inventory, it's not possible to add any
comments.
Otherwise I would have added the whole inventory of my sealed set as a comment.
Which contains the new added electric wire, black technice axles and rest like
the regular parts in the inventory.

So, imo there's no need to have any doubts about the verification of this
inventory.
For the sealed set I have (or had, for it's not sealed anymore ), contains
one of the alternates of the inventory.

I do have my doubts though about the blue connector and white wire. In all these
years I never found any proof, that sets from this period had blue connectors
of any kind.

Some questions for you:
- my sets has a blue seal, one of yours also have and it looks like the set is
not sealed anymore. the box is open at the back and you could easily remove the
wire and see of what type it is. the picture doesn't show the kind of connectors
- your picture of the other box shows gray connectors, which type of connector
is in your sets?
- why would you want to add part x466c96blue, as your set has gray connectors?

If you want to add items, just because it's shown on a picture of the box
or in a cataglue, please don't. I think that is also the reason the inventory
submitter added the blue connector. That would be number 6 (for the lised connector
is another one). There's no way this set came with 6 different connectors.

My conclusion:
- do not remove 996bc96gray, for this is (so far) the only electric wire that
is prooved to be found in a sealed set
- remove the blue connector and white wire
- move 996bc96gray from alternate to regular
- switch the axles, black to regular and white to alternate (never saw a 107-1
with white axles)

Why should it be clearer than it already is?

Because it's not clear enough now?!

Today I received another request to unblock a member. I don't want messages
from member I stoplisted, for they are stoplisted for a very good reason.

I am stoplisted by some sellers I never had any transaction with, not as seller,
not as a buyer. It's very annoying when I spend a lot of time searching for
parts and fill my shopping cart and then get the message that I can't buy
from this seller.

You can't stop someone from logging out and going into your store, so they
can get in no matter what. Being able to send messages from a block account
is a new one though.

I don't have any problems with stoplisted members visiting my store. But
as a buyer I want to know that I'm stoplisted by a seller before I go shopping
in that store. It's not as urgent as my second suggestion, but believe it
or not. There's this seller that Always pops up when I'm looking for
certain parts and after I filled my cart, Bricklink says that I can't buy
from this seller. I'm stoplisted and I don't know why, because I never
bought from nor sold to this member. Like I said, it's not that urgent, but
before it was like this, so changing it to the way it used to be, wouldn't
be that difficult imo.

  
That definitely wasn't like that before.

It looks like the payment method is set default to PayPal.
There's no option for the seller to change this.
This will cause at least more domestic orders with PayPal as payment method.
I'm sure most sellers (and even buyers) are not happy with this.

I would prefer to be able to choose the default payment method myself(as a seller).
Just like the shipping methods, default for
- all buyers
- domestic buyers
- international buyers


Or even better, for both shipping method ánd payment method:
- all
- domestic
- EU
- International outside EU

But this is asked for many times already during the past years.
Since Bricklink does make the difference between EU and non-EU with VAT, it
also
should be possible for these methods.

As long as it is not possible for a seller to choose the default payment method
for at least domestic and international buyers, I would prefer Bricklink to
remove
this default for all buyers.

  ALL signs as before should be visible in stores without hovering, clicking etc.
- Coupons in store.
- Orders in store.
- Note on member in store.
- Store is most favorite

available

  - Store is least favorite

available

  
Several of these signs work as a warning. For example, the visible Note on member
icon informed me that I made a note about that member, which I should read before
even thinking
about ordering. In most cases, a note is not a good sign. They warn me about
bad experiences in the past. They are one of the few tools I have to protect
myself. The same is true for the Least Favourite stores. Not having these signs
available as warning signals does make me feel LESS SAFE as a buyer.

The number of orders in store (including link to non-purged orders) and the most
favourite help me to evaluate past experiences with this seller. In most cases,
it helps to build confidence, making me feel safer as a buyer.

Having the coupon visible before checkout usually makes me buy more, in order
to gain maximal benefits of that coupon. It stimulates sales. In most cases that
is one of the reasons why the coupon was issued in the first place. It makes
me feel good about the seller, and the seller gets a better order.



Buying and selling over long distance requires a lot of confidence between buyer
and seller. Having these features directly available (NOT hidden) is a great
tool to help build that confidence. Hiding them reduces confidence.

I checked and it seems that you see a thumbs up / down for most / least favorite
store.
Coupons, previous orders, notes are not visible.
