  Hi BL
Unless this already exits in some form (if it do, please inlighten me as to how
it works!), I suggest a button for “show items on wanted lists” when visiting
stores. Quite often when I’m visting stores, browsing around for additional items,
I stumble upon items marked as “on want list”. It would be a lot easier if it
was possible to just see all items in store that are already on my wanted lists,
instead of having to search through 100’s of pages in different categories...
I am aware of the whole ‘buy wanted items’ auto function, so it’s not that I’m
missing... It’s more when already committed to a store, I wanna stock up and
save on postage.

Thanks for an otherwise excellent site!

Best regards
Martin, Denmark

Let's leave it at that. Speaking as a buyer, I am all for hanging up a WL

"The mark of an educated mind [is] to be able to entertain a thought without
accepting it."

Can't go wrong in quoting Aristotle.

In fact I think the phrase should be adopted as a motto of the forum, to be hung
across the top of the page. It would be a beacon of idea, for forum users. Sadly,
I don't think many of the "regulars" would embrace it as their credo. For
too many of us, the guiding beacon is 'being right' or more succinctly,
'not to be perceived as being wrong'

I will say after reading your posts for some time, you don't seem to suffer
the same frailty of character. I think I posted some time back "who is this masked
man" out of admiration of your character. It might of been you, there are actually
several forum regulars that display such grace, just not all.

Anyway, we are taking a drive through the Northern Cascades, hopefully today.
Gotta get my coffee on, and my offspring up and going.

A joke, right. I'm to respect his opinions because he's one of the forum

  There's no need to be so relentlessly dismissive.

Do you mean, not to be as dismissive as was he in his initial reply to a posted

like. I didn't need to respond.

He is a smart man who I do respect. But sorry to burst the bubble of you and
a few others here, there are those I'll listen to regarding the topic at
hand (as I've repeated ad nauseam in this thread) before I'll digest
Sylvain's vast experience in the matter.

For me, Sylvain is an intelligent blarney. Gifted, yes. But not experience enough
to offer credible advise on the topic, as I see it. So please don't portray
him as a victim that needs defending, it's so damned disingenuous. Sylvain
is capable more than most, in making a case for himself.

I'm hitting sack now.

Continue on boys! I'm sure you'll have accomplished great deeds! here
in the forum, by the time we next meet.

" If there is no audience there is no show. "


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


Trolls are misunderstood creatures. It’s just not acceptable to use their identity
in a derogatory manner. It’s racist or something? Like, OMG

Sorry, just an attempt at humor

As to the name calling “troll” I don’t mind that you do so, Crystal. Nor did
I mind when Sylvain replied to my posted suggestion, by opening-up with the signature
Sylvain Slam...

In my opening statement
"an idea that briefly visited my headspace some time ago"

Sylvain’s opening statement in reply:
"No, no, you tempter, I won’t ask if it felt alone in there!"


You may have noticed (that is if you haven’t overly used the ignore feature)
that all the others that posted their honest thoughts and critics, received only
honest, positive replies, or no reply from me. I try to be positive and build
others up, but some simply need a spanking (not in the way you're thinking,
Sylvain! I like you, but not in that way )

I don’t mind the banter, and I still enjoy reading your inputs. I am sorry you’ve
been tamed here in the forum, I miss the old Crystal. The one that expressed
her strong unabashed opinions. Can I please say hello to her again. Can she come
out and play?

To those that have no problem using the ignore feature, I would encourage it
be used on my profile. For a self-serving reason, though: it's just one less
sourpuss I'll have to deal with in my posts, is the way I've seen it
for some time, now.

I agree. But in all fairness we can't ignore the question in the back of
our minds: When is this guy finally going to buy some more LEGO?

My wallet has the reverse question

Though getting around 700€ of LEGO for around 15€ thanks to coupons and destocking
made us both quite happy a couple months ago


Wow! Then my question changes... Why is this guy not selling any LEGO?


What, with all the problems you sellers continuously whine about on the forum?


Besides, MY precious, MINE!

You're here discussing its problems out of your own free will, who's
silly now?

Sorry my pet,

That’s not funny. That’s insulting.


   I don't know what you're babbling about here in your sleep
deprived state

And another insult.


  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 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.

  [… other insults …]

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.

A type of reverse want list. That is, a way that sellers could peruse the current

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.

But hey, BL shot-callers, it speaks directly to upping the sales numbers!

What is a brain-fart that is not bonafide?

I guess school is back in session for popsicle. Not a great time to be sober

   gallic friend, as a non seller and not much of a buyer (it
would appear from your history here) 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.


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.

You used to be fun, my fine forest creature. What happened?
  

  It's the middle of the night for you in France. Try not to dwell on thoughts
of me, and what I think. Get some sleep...

Don’t mind my sleep, I sleep like a baby: I wake up every other hour and I cry.

Or maybe this one: I sleep very well, some nights I even sleep more than once!

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.

  Wayne's post and others like it, https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1150409
brings to mind an idea that briefly visited my headspace some time ago:

A type of reverse want list. That is, a way that sellers could peruse the current
want lists to specific buyer's needs, to then as a seller, proactively engage
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.

But hey, BL shot-callers, it speaks directly to upping the sales numbers!

I don't think so, sharing WL AFAIU it is send WL to a buddy for instance,
you know, kind of BL awesome new feature, quite far from what you've suggested.

  Sadly, "coming soon" has a different meaning to BL:

WOW! It's intended. Fantastic!

   gallic friend, as a non seller and not much of a buyer (it
would appear from your history here) 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.


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”?

And now you’re saying I’m alone. So it’s only my opinion you don’t want to consider?

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

It's sounds like you've been working on it, keep it up!

Not really, I was only reacting to what you wrote, no hard work involved.
