When looking at items in a store there are several options on how to sort the
items (price, quantity, color, etc). I would like a RECENTLY UPDATED option to
be added. This is simular to the RECENTLY ADDED, but not quite.

Recently it took me a few days to finalize a cart and I noticed price and quantity
changes for items in my cart. So I went back to the store to see if pieces I
thought were too expensive had gone down or if more pieces were added to an item
I wanted more of. But I couldn't find an easy way to see this without going
through every item again (which takes a while then there are hundreds of items
in my wantedlists/cart).

The RECENTLY ADDED option just shows when a piece was first added, not updated.
For instance the store I was in, said the most recent item was added in 2012.
This shows a false sense of inactivity which is obviouly wrong when stuff is
changing in my cart and this store has fulfilled thousands of orders. This additional
option would help people like me in simular situations, those who have recently
bought from the store and want to buy again, or who are adding to an order over
the next week or so (I see alot of store allowing this).

Hi

I know a lot of work goes on behind the scenes with volunteer administrators
who do a damn good job with the catalogue and inventories.

Is it about time Bricklink appointed an (or more) administrator (s) to oversee
the selling side of Bricklink.

Bricklink would not exists without its revenue from sellers putting in time and
effort to sell and pay fees to Bricklink.

Surely it is only fair to sellers and buyers that items for sale conform to the
rules. If items are being mis-represented they should be removed or sellers given
the opportunity to amend their listing.

It would be nice if Bricklink appointed people to oversee the selling side of
the business. Sellers may then start conforming with their listings

Sounds good to me

I think also there should be sanctions where this appears to be deliberate. If
you make a mistake (such as listing new when it has been used) and it is reported
and BL agrees, then it's fine and you should learn from it. If you make that
same mistake again (say within six months or a year), then you get a week's
ban from selling. If you do it again after that, it's a month ban.

Maybe with different limits for bigger stores / higher turnover stores.

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
for a month to see higher quantity listings.

"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.

Sorry, I'm late to the game, guys! Didn't know we weren't done with
this

Sylvain has spent a lot of time familiarizing himself with BrickLink

Really

As the original topic was selling and how to increase sales. How exactly
does one "familiarize" oneself having never transacted as a seller here? Not
to mention very few buying transactional experiences to "familiarize himself"
as you term it.

and is a frequent contributor here

A joke, right. I'm to respect his opinions because he's one of the forum
regulars? Nope. From my experience here in the forum, that doesn't convince
me of one's gravitas.

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
suggestion? Well, here I agree with you. Should of just let him spew as he'd
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.

-Cory

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.
