I guess, especially, buyers with a lot of different wanted lists would be interested
in to opt-in, if they are trying to save some time gathering their parts from
too many stores out there...

| | 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 need some help identifying the color of the Bionicle mask on the right. It
is part #32573. It came in a large lot of used Bionicle parts, so I don't
know what set it came from originally. Supposedly, it only comes in Black, Blue,
Dark Gray, Light Gray, Lime, Medium Blue, Orange, Tan, Yellow, Copper, and Pearl
Light Gray.
As you can see, this is not any of those colors. I have photographed it with
a copper part next to it, so you can see that it is not copper. The closest
I can figure is that this is chrome pink, but there is nothing chrome about it.
It is more like a pearl dark pink color.
What color do you think it is?
I appreciate your help.
Stan.

The set in which this part appears (bilmasks-1) was released in 2001, while the
Exo-Force robots were first released in 2006. Colours (particularly Pearl-type)
tend to change somewhat over time, and the description for set (bilmasks-1) specifies
that the colour is dark Copper:

I think I've expressed this before, but it's worth repeating: Impressive
catalog command!

Although I’m usually clueless to the subtleties here in the forum, I don’t get
the “Inviting trouble” title. I can’t see how. I assume it’s referencing your
second comment of not having an issue if someone “takes the initiative”, as in
inviting competition for you and goatleg.com?
Regardless, it’s good to hear from you again, Mark.
Your inviting trouble remark, brings to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg-1qW2xAU4

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?

Do we get to know more there?

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

I'm tired. Going to bed, see what dreams await me.
Thanks, Caleb. You're a good man.

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...

short since I haven't gotten her permission to post D's name.)
D has a passion for saving animals. She started her own business connecting people
with rescue animals. To date she has saved well upwards of 20 animals by connecting
them with people looking to adopt or rescue. She has coordinated (long distance,
across multiple states) the rescue of 6+ animals from a hoarding and abandonment
situation (that had to include the police for safety concerns), found a home
for an abandoned lizard within hours of it being left at the counter of the local
pet store and has most recently begun a beta fish re-hab program to take in the
fish that are too sick to be sold and that by state regulation cannot be medicated
in-store (meaning they would be flushed).
Pets make the world a better place and D is doing everything she can to save
every pet out there. People who save animals in this way are born special.
Just had to give her a shout out.

What great kid your friend Jodi has!
You should get her okay to give her first name, for a proper shoutout.
Thanks for sharing Ginny. I've placed your store on our most favorites list,
I'd like to show support with some business. I assume little Ms. D helps
out with the store, as my kids did at that age.

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.
Regards,
Captain Q

Looks like they've got a good life, now.
How you brought them into your life. I gotta say you're a very patient man,
Quinton
Very cool names, too!
