When a buyer contacts me, using the contact form on BL, I get an email from BL
with the message. However, replying to that email just results in a bounced email.
I am forced to go into BL message center and copy/paste my text. Even worse when
I need to reply with an attachment (like a photo of a brick): not an option.
This all ends up in two // streams of communication: some messages are sent using
BL, others over direct email.

I'm forced to use a communication medium (BL) that is not adequate. Until
it's adequate, I would suggest to remove the "Messaging" feature all together.
Until BL can offer a mature messaging feature that makes direct email obsolete,
I would suggest to remove the Message feature (and point the users to direct
email contact). Now it's just a very confusing and annoying mix of communication
channels.

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

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.

It would be really helpful if the site could memorize your last "sort by" setting
in every section and consider it your default, without exception.

For example, if I open a specific wanted list and sort it by item number, then
every next list I open will also be sorted by item number until I set it back
to "item name."

However, no matter how many times I open the master wanted list, i.e. my list
of wanted lists (lol), and sort it alphabetically, as soon as I refresh or revisit
the page the sorting is set back to "newest."

It would be really great if this could be... sorted out.

Thanks and sorry if this has been brought up before.

It would be really helpful if the 'sales' posts in the marketplace discussion
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.

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

WOULD HELP A LOT in searches.

best wishes and long live your fabulous website

At the wanted lists "home page" there's obviouly the list of all your wanted
lists. But on the left, there's a menu where you can click on different part
catagories, set themes, minifigure themes, and such to see what you want from
that subsection across all your wanted lists. I would like the ability to filter
this to look at certain lists and not others, simular to when you're looking
at a store and can choose which wanted lists you want to buy for. I have 18 lists
and it is a little crowded and difficult to compare 2-4 lists with all that extra
information.

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

In searching through the categories for Lego sets, I could not find one that
included Lego games. Over the years Lego has produced many games: chess sets,
mazes, Heroica, etc. Is this omission an oversight or is it because there is
little market for used game sets? In either case, I felt disappointed in the
absence of such a category.
