I'm surprised that as frequent of a user you are you took twice as long to
get to the point I got too. The best way to deal with trolls is to not feed them
(though I do fully understand this snack I'm writing to you will be eaten
readily)
Until we get actual moderators that have the ability to police bad behavior the
ignore button and pity are our only tools
Also for what it's worth I took many years to hit 30 ish FB. I was living
in an apartment and didn't have room to build anything. It isn't a user
value system.

And I said, several times:
1. Buyers are a part of the selling game. Or please explain to me to whom would
you send those notifications and who’s gonna pay for the orders?
Might I remind you sellers only get a bit more than 97% of the money whereas
buyers pay 100%.
2. You linked a message from a 0-fb buyer as motive for this idea.
Can’t you just even answer arguments with counter arguments? Do you have to
always resort to condescension and making fun of people in every discussion you
take part?
I thought this time would be different because you started the thread but I was
wrong. You still believe it’s some sort of game of which you’re the best player
and in which you can loftily praise and admonish.
You’re just a bully.

your advise on this particular question, as earnestly as I would some

You’re talking about sellers reaching to buyers. I’d have thought buyers’ opinions
would be of interest to you.
But maybe it’s a cultural thing. After all, EU is opt-in while the USA are opt-out.
Recipients like to be in the loop here, not treated like kettle/cattle….
Besides, if you only consider sellers or very frequent buyers then I don’t understand
why you linked the message of a zero feedback buyer as a motive for your idea.
Or is there a “too much but not enough” range of buyers you’re excluding?
| But I am glad you came out to play with me again
|
Make up your mind: you just said you don’t want me and my kind on the field
|
"you and your kind?" Feeling persecuted, are you? No, my dove. To me you are
one-of-a-kind.
|
Once again, make up your mind.
You said you didn’t want to consider my opininon because I’m a non seller, neither
0- nor “enough”- (whatever that would be) FB buyer. I thought that applied to
all non sellers, neither 0- nor “enough”- (whatever that would be) FB buyers,
or even all buyers-only.
Doesn’t that fall under the phrase “me and my kind”?
|
Sorry my pet, I don't know what you're babbling about here in your sleep
deprived state
Here is what I actually said "I really don't know if I'll take your advise
on this particular question, as earnestly as I would some others here. You've
got no skin in the game, as they say."
|
And now you’re saying I’m alone. So it’s only my opinion you don’t want to consider?
|
Alone As stated clearly, it's opinion from those that actually "have skin
in the game" (something to lose or gain) and experience that I'll take more
earnestly than your opinion, in this matter. If by alone you mean the only one
that fits the aforementioned description to reply to the post, then yes, I guess
you are alone, for now anyway
|
So, either you don’t want me-and-my-kind’s opinion or you don’t want my opinion.
That’s not my feeling persecuted, that’s your dismissing my opinion.
It’s your right not wanting to care about someone’s opinion but, besides being
inconsistent with first having asked everyone’s opinions, you can’t both say
you don’t care about someone’s opinion and then deny you said it.
And, by the way, stop giving me names. I’m not your pigeon or any other pet.
That’s condescending.

So it's over between us then
|
| But why all the hostility, are we not best of friends
|
Seems to me your best friend is liquid and bubbly.
|
If you're referring to booze, unfortunately no longer considered a friend
of mine. Stopped even my occasional beer consumption. Nope, this is sober clear-eyed
popsicle speaking. I actually think I'd enjoy your witless repartee better,
if I were a few beers into what is a boring convo.

| Could be good, could be evil too.
As was already discussed, spamming would be bad .
Best would be to get a daily/weekly briefing by mail on which shop own most of
the WL we have defined according to some preferences (country, condition, ...)
WITH also extra suggestions outside search criteras as a bonus and smart addition
to a simple matching algorithm.
These extra would be separated from the others, quite the same as what ebay does.

Hmm, let’s see if I understand correctly.
Now, the buyer can search the stores that have the most items for their WLs.
They need to actualize their search from time to time to see if new sellers /
better matches appear.
And you’d want that search to be automatized so that the buyer receive a notification
for their whole WL?
If that’s it, when will that notification be sent? When the WL is X% fulfill(able)?
— If X is too high, many WLs will never have such a notification.
— If X is too low, that could make for a lot of notifications.
Or do you just want the search to be reversed, that a seller actively search
for WLs they can fulfill with their inventory?
Here again, percentage of fulfillment could be what makes it useful or spamful.
Anyway, I’m not sure it’s very different from the already existing WL notification
system except it would be for several parts at once, not one by one.
I rarely use that, indeed because that would cause too many notifications for
common parts and it doesn’t tell me if the seller has other parts, so adding
that multiple parts feature could be interesting. Though I’m not sure I would
opt in: it’s as easy to make a search from time to time.
A related question: Can’t sellers easily see on how many WLs their parts are
so that they can decide when to send notifications?
I mean, do you have to browse all your inventory part by part to have this info?

As long as I could opt out of it, I would be all for it. I don't need sellers
spamming me with offers of things on my want list.
|
Of course, always the ability to opt-out, I agree.
Very good input, Randy
|
I think it would rather be on an opt in basis, because doing it by default would
be privacy violation.
|
Agreed.
| Reminds me of the trouble Amazon is in over looking into its sellers sales data.
Frickin Bezos!
Anyway, not a bad idea, when it's based on buyers explicitly choosing to publish their wanted list.
|
Again, agreed, Great idea.
| Anyway, seller tools was cancelled, so there's not much chance for this
or any other smart suggestion over the past years to see the light of day. Better
to try it over at BO, they certainly like to discuss such ideas and look into

members like Wayne with offers on items they have on their want list.
Kinda like amping-up the want list and selling process, by getting the sellers
more involved in increasing their sales by actually selling
It's just a rough draft of an idea. Limitations, restriction and other refinements
of the idea, expected.

As long as I could opt out of it, I would be all for it. I don't need sellers
spamming me with offers of things on my want list.

Of course, always the ability to opt-out, I agree.
Very good input, Randy

I think it would rather be on an opt in basis, because doing it by default would
be privacy violation. Reminds me of the trouble Amazon is in over looking into
its sellers sales data. Anyway, not a bad idea, when it's based on buyers
explicitly choosing to publish their wanted list.
Anyway, seller tools was cancelled, so there's not much chance for this
or any other smart suggestion over the past years to see the light of day. Better
to try it over at BO, they certainly like to discuss such ideas and look into
options of implementation.

I've always followed a couple of rules that at some point i have read on
these forums:
If you can't find a set - check "Gear"
If you can't find a part - check "Fabuland"
Sets that look like sets, but aren't, are usually gear.

I believe a simple note for each lots of the order with "WL AAAAAAA". I have

Also, code from cart view could be re-use for order, to have the WL on the left

And ultimately the same display with all orders, date filter (+ seller, country

Even if the order download would include addresses like it does on Brickowl it

You can create a WL from the cart (so just before checkout).
Or simply open the details of your order and there’s a button “Add Order Items

Good idea!

There already is a link at checkout for searching your order in your WLs.
And you can do it whenever you want from your WLs with the order number, or
from the order summary page with the scroll icon (which appears when you select
the option “Items in Order in My Wanted List Icon” on this page: https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettingsCols.asp?v=p&viewFrom=O

If We had hundreds of orders per day maybe we'd be looking for more automated
tools specific for our setup but for the volume most BL stores handle I can't
imagine where significant savings would come from.
