| A little late but here is my dog Skragle. I wanted to give him a name that would
be based on something Lego related so I took kragle, from The Lego Movie and
just added an S and I think it fits him perfectly.

| I would like to see the simple option to auto-fill the "my cost" during part-setting.
Other fields auto-fill (6 months average-sales of the option to use old remarks,
etc., even old/new average "my cost").
When I am part-setting I like to keep count of the average part-cost. When part-setting
bigger sets I will have to fill these out (copy/paste) 300-400 times, depending
on the lot-count. Absolutely killing my motivation. If I can choose one number
on the first part-out screen, it can be filled-out in the overview. Some lots
I change (baseplates/minifigs/stickersheet are not 6-7 eurocents "cost", but
| | 90% of the lots gets the same number.
|
I can;t imagine no one has had the idea to implement this before.
Kind regards,
Remko
Its a Bricky World

What a beautiful story, Cory. Sounds like you gave that badger biter the time
of his life. 
Before moving, I'd visit a humane society that served as a hub for all shelters
in the valley. I loved the high-energy kennel with the biggest dogs you're
allowed to walk, but also walk the smaller dogs for a quick bowel movement in
parking lot bushes, a block or two. This fat roly-poly kinda thing caught my
eye one day, and we'd walk a little longer every time I stopped by. I guess
he was too fat, because one of the vet-techs told me he'd been put down not
transferred. What a crap day. Sometimes think about whether I would've been
allowed to start a 10 day-hold and other what-ifs. At the end of the day it's
easier just to shrug and say "damn you, world!"
To lighten the mood, here's a few satellite photos of a wild tribe of wolves

It angers me that people seem so uncaring when it comes to domesticated animals.
While I do not have dogs and do not rescue them (have done three in the last
7 years), when I look into their eyes at the Humane Society I see a longing to
have freedom from the pens and to have someone to love that loves them. We have
four new little kitties coming to eat at night (We feed about 8-10 feral cats.)
They get there early so that they have something to eat. Some of the feral
cats seem to bring them one at a time to eat. Goldilocks, who looks like see
is going to die any day now (has looked that way for over two years now) seems
to bring a couple of them. Not sure what to do, if I try to capture one in a
trap I am afraid that the others will not come to eat.
But back to what I started to post about; never go to a shelter to look around
their back rooms. I was looking for a missing outdoor cat and looked in the
shelters "death" room. 80 to 90 cats waiting to be put down. I could never
go back into that room. It still affects me. I asked if I could take some home
and they said sure, but I would have to pay 130-150 dollars for each one. I
cannot forget the cold look in the worker's eyes.
I guess I just ruined my day.

At the time we were asked to take care of him, we were living in Southern Utah
in and around Zion National Park. Our lives during those years were, to say the
least, adventurous. We were trekking, hiking and climbing just about every area
we could reach. Our friends knew this, when they asked us to care of Oscar. I
told them I would think on it. I worried a dog would just not fit our adventurous
life style at the time. Certainly, such a small dog could not hang with us on
our back country treks, I thought.
But, we really wanted to help Jim and Gloria out, and didn’t want to see Oscar
spend a year in doggy prison (hotel) so we agreed to take the responsibility.
Well, it turned out that Oscar with his stubby legs, was one hell of a adventurer!
He hung with us EVERYWHERE. When it came to climbing, his shape fit perfectly
into my climbing-pack with just his head sticking out, and he didn’t seem to
mind just enjoying the view while I struggled 
He was overweight when they left him with us, and by the time they returned they
had half the dachshund they had left us with. Oscar really got into shape that
year! He simply loved the outdoors life!
Now here’s the sad part. When Jim and Gloria returned, we left to spend a year
in Stockholm. They told us that Oscar would go everyday to the front door of
our cottage and sit, waiting for us to open the door for him. I guess it’s true,
dogs don’t have the same concept of time, because we were told he did this throughout
the entire year my kids and I were gone.
It remains one of the saddest thoughts in my long life thinking about this. Even
as I type it, tears flow. Silly!
This is not a pic we took. It is the last pic of our friend, Jim and Gloria took
that they sent to us a couple of years later, just before he passed away...

Captain Q approves.
Here are two kittens I am keeping of a 4 kitten litter I saved from living a
life as feral cats; named Tenshi and Quark. I found them while feeding some
feral cats. They were too young to capture right away, around 5 weeks, so I
pre-socialized them on the outside with wet food and playing with a cat favorite
toy, the fake bird on a string and stick. Had to do it at night as apartment
management disapproves of feeding the feral cats. Took some night vision video,
that I have not gotten around to editing yet.
Just noticed that the picture is rotated the wrong way, will leave it as is,
because it amuses me.

Captain Q

So sorry for the loss of your pet. Or should I say family member. Death
touches all in different ways. When it comes to a pet it lingers with you for
ever. But time does help to think of the companionship and the love between
the two of you and what was added to your life.

a dog, he'd probably be devastated.

| | He's been with dogs since he was a few hours old, vet said he'd never survive and the kindness thing would be to euthanize him, yeah, wasn't happening. While we humans did the feeding,
dogs took care of the messy part. Now he's a healthy adult and a full blown member of the pack.

I love this! He is beautiful, and you are beautiful, Darcy! (regardless of my
bias, my youngest sister being named Darcy)

Back to your original suggestion, I'd like to reiterate, I think it's
a great idea. I learned more about some of my fellow members in 1 day, than
I have in the 15 years I've been here. Obviously everyone here has a love
for Lego, but your pet idea is a great ice breaker. Most members only come here
when they have a question, problem or complaint. Your suggestion would give
interested members a place to take a break, especially from sorting (sigh), lighten
the mood a little and get to know each other a little better.

Animal rescue has become very important to me, especially with the shelters being
overwhelmed and the number of healthy animals being euthanized every day. Not
to mention abuse cases/dumping happening in record numbers. Personally, I know
I can't afford to take on anymore and still give them the proper care they
need and deserve. So myself, and a bunch of others in the same situation donate
each month to pay the fees for at risk animals in a local kill shelter. Once
the fees are covered they become eligible for free adoptions or to be pulled
by a rescue. Not ideal by any means, but we're able to save some. Just
a thought to anyone who might read this, there are ways to help, you can advocate
to raise awareness, donate to your local shelter, foster, if you see something
say something, adopt don't shop and above all else spay/neuter. Now that
I sound like an infomercial I'll stop talking.

All good points, Darcy.
John & his wife, have been committed to helping the homeless cat population in
his area for some time now. He is what I would call a warrior of that cause.
For cats anyway.

I would really like to see more pics of our member’s pet. What do you think about
showing or introduce your animal companion to the BL membership here on the forum?
I suggest a new forum subtopic, under Off Topic: Pets
Anecdotes and/or pics of your pets? Maybe of interrupting your lego work or other
mischief. Or just an introduction of your nonhuman companion, new or old. What
your pet did today
Even though we don't have furry companions (son's allergies) we really
enjoy animal pics and stories. Think most do, evidenced by it's popularity
on youtube.
What do think? Think there is enough interest to warrant a sub-topic in the forum?

I think it's a great idea! I love my fur family, which has grown into 6
dogs and 1 cat, all rescues from terrible conditions. The only place off limits
is the Lego room, otherwise they rule the roost.

Awesome! Much respect Darcy, for taking-in and caring for so many rescue animals.
Placed your store on our favorites list, I like to support people such as yourself.
I've gotta know, though How does the lone cat fare among the 6 dogs?
BTW, I really like your store's Splash page, beautiful!

Thank you Cory! LOL, as for Kita Kitty, if anyone ever told him he wasn't
a dog, he'd probably be devastated. He's been with dogs since he was
a few hours old, vet said he'd never survive and the kindness thing would
be to euthanize him, yeah, wasn't happening. While we humans did the feeding,
dogs took care of the messy part. Now he's a healthy adult and a full blown
member of the pack. Uses the doggy door to potty, no kitty litter here ewww,
and doesn't leave the fenced yard. Fears no one, except my 4 lb, Chi, but
everybody fears him, so no surprise there

A beautiful cat. Great job saving his life. Never give up on saving a life.
I got a kitten at one day old and saved her.

| I would really really really like to see a message when you try to list an item
in a colour that it wasn’t ever known to be in a set. This would cut down on
the HUGE number of mislisted incorrect colours. It would be a huge help. And
those of us that are really listing rare non-production colours would probably
be fine with clicking the “yes, I know this is crazy rare, I want to list it
“ button. The known colours info is already on the site, but many BL sellers
are obviously not looking at it.

I've thought this for a long time now; I agree and for exactly the same reasons.
It's a shame, as some U.S. sellers have great part-lists and excellent sales
- all negated by postage, import duty and P.O. charges (that are generally MUCH
higher than the actual duty).

page had a stores country flag icon next to the username. To be able to see at
a glance would save us having to click on each post to find out. Personally I
tend not to buy outside the EU because of shipping costs and taxes.

| | 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'd really like to express, before I've had my cup of joe on this fine
morning, how much I appreciated the people (yes all the people) here on the forum.
After receiving emails of encouragement, critic, praise and ideas regarding this
posted suggestion, it struck home for me just how many read the forum without
participating.
There are many more eyes on your posts than you might think
For the happy eco warriors here in the forum, the coffee is [USDA organic/Fair

| | Hello
Many times i search for a decorated items (xxxxPBxx for an exemple).
Exemple
I have this one :
2440pb002 / https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=2911#T=C
But it sadly never appears when we search for 2440 (what's only written on
the part)
And that's only thanks a long search on some other website that i finally
could find it on brickink.
So, is it possible to add all those sub-serial numbers to the normal search
For an exemple it could be a new COLOR category : decorated.
Or as for my exemple, it is a black part with decoration, so to put it in the
BLACK color.
Thanks a lot in advance
|
So basically having Goatleg.com as a feature to Bricklink
or try searching 2440*
Then it will list all 2440 items decorated or not.

To narrow it down further - click Market, then click Search, then use this criteria
to find any decorated 2440 in black.
Only the ones inventoried to a set will show, but this definitely helps when
you're looking for a specific decorated item in a certain color as some of
the parts like tiles have a ton of decorated variations of all colors.

| Hello
Thanks for your answers
I didnt know the * tip after a serial number.
It works great
Still, that might be helpful i think if for the 2440 (exemple), they all appear
in the color list may they be decorated or not
Nice day to everyone

Thank you! That's exactly the thing i wanted to say.
A little more complicated, but without the intense spamming:
BL builds in a kind of public tender system.
Buyers can then issue a tender by adding their WL (or parts of it) and defining
how long the sellers can participate (5 days, 30 days...) and who can participate
(worldwide or just particular countries, only sellers with minimum 99% praise
and so on).
Then the sellers have the possibility to add items to their offer (from their
inventory and/or by adding it "manually") and to adjust the price if they want
to. Until the offer is accepted/rejected by the buyer or cancelled, all items
in the offer are "locked".

Good input. Great thoughts!

Your English is very good, Phillip. Impressive, in fact.
