Hi there,

Do you think a feature will be added in which when you part out a set you can
add in how much the set cost and then the system would calculate how much was
paid per piece? It's a pain adding it in individually especially when you
have over 300 items! It would be nice if a feature like this also worked out
how much each part cost based on how much they sell for (depending on if you
picked current average/6 month average etc). For example if you bought a set
for $20 and it had 4 parts equally the cost would be $5, however if two of the
parts average was $10 each and the other two were $1 each having a cost of $5
for each part wouldn't make sense. Having to work that out for each part
by hand is just way too time consuming, but if the system did it on part out
entry it would be awesome.

My apologies if this has already been suggested.

It would be great if, in addition to showing favorited stores and those with

This is in reference to this thread in General: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=264579

My suggestion is, that when a user favorites a store, he or she should also have
the option to receive coupons from that store. This should get around any concerns
about privacy.

Build Feature For Casual Sellers

I realize this a high level coding idea, not something quick and easy, but it
just occurred to me when I saw something shown here on the forum. I think it
attract business to Bricklink from eBay and Craigslist and various other platforms.

We could make a feature where one item could be casually sold without becoming
a store, offered on the forum or some other way, and the sale could be official
and register for fees and everything. Buyer would know it was different from
buying from an established store, but it would make it easier for someone who
just wanted to sell 3 sets from their childhood or just wanted to get rid of
a box of their children's used Lego. Right now someone just has to tell
someone in the forum that they'll have to make a store and I expect 98 times
out of 100, they shrug their shoulders and go to eBay or Craigslist.

Inventory Backup/Restore/Deletion Prevention

Viewed:

119 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

To prevent accidental deletion of inventory or restore of store's inventory
for various reasons like accidental deletions, price changes, etc. Currently
changes cannot be undone and a self administered restore function would be beneficial.
Requiring administrative assistance in restoring one's inventory is inconvenient
on both the seller and the BL team.

Remedy Option 1
To prevent strain on the infrastructure of constant periodic backups of everyone's
inventory, the backup would only initiate when a user enters their store's
inventory page, and limited to certain time intervals (once a day, once per hour,
or whatever the system can handle). The seller would have the option of self
initiate backup as needed.

Remedy Option 2
If the infrastructure cannot handle backups on their own system, perhaps Bricklink
can prompt user with an option to download inventory prior to deletion or major
changes being done to it, and self administer restore function.

Remedy Option 3
At the least, the system should require a re-login to the account when inventory
deletion function is selected to prevent accidental deletion of the store's
inventory.

The above options are no mutually exclusive and can be implemented in tandem
depending on what Bricklink system/team can implement.

Allow sellers ability to check red 'paid' box

We allow payment both onsite and offsite.
The issue is that offsite payments require the buyers to check the 'red'
paid box.
some buyers (specially new ones) mistakenly take this to mean that their offsite
payment didn't go through and re-submit payment for the second time (sometimes
even after the order was shipped) which creates more work to refund and with
the new paypal policy might also cost sellers extra fees.

It would be great if seller can manually check this paid box and switch it to
green in order to avoid this misunderstanding. i know we can mark the order paid
and shipped but a buyer yesterday in one of many examples wanted to make sure
they paid because they saw the box was red and ended up paying for the second
time.
Thanks for considering.

Is it possible to have these as 2 different colours for clarity.

Also it changes to bold when marked as paid, but when marked as Packed (which

Suggestions over the past 6 years have not been very successful, however we now
have a new 'kid on the block' in charge. Let's see what happens with
this one.
We are all aware of the new Community Expert program that has been introduced
aimed at the technical side of the site e.g. catalogue, inventories etc.

How about adding to that group with a community advisory panel, whose members
could help with the usability testing of new features as well as offering advice
on both direction and functionality for the site.

These would also be volunteers and a method for rotation could be put in place
to ensure no one individual dominated that side.

You could even have regional representation say USA, UK, Europe (or Germany,
France Netherlands, etc). This would help enormously on the variations that are
both desirable and needed for the site, as well as the legal requirements, postal
systems, etc.

It would, of course also help communications and community spirit.

All the data's already there, we just need the filter added to sort it. It

I buy and sell, and really like buying from local sellers, as the shipping is
usually 1-2 days at the most. Or some are even willing to meet you the same day
to come pick up parts. I met another local seller in my town searching for local
sellers, and she was totally cool with meeting u pto get parts. As would I if
someone was close enough.
If we could filter a single state, and sort by best price, BAM !! Instant parts
just about.

The current option kind of sucks... Go to the main sellers list, open every
store in your state in a new tab, and search every store for the parts you want.
WAY to slow !!

Feature which shows if BL member is active

Viewed:

101 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Hello,

I was wondering if a feature or timer, to see whether a BrickLink
member is active or has been active (like on FB messenger or WhatsApp), would
be a great idea.

The reason why I'm wondering:
I'm sure there are members who logs in daily to see if another
member has reacted to their order('s invoice)/message, and are nervously
waiting until he/she/they react(s).

It will also be handy to see if a member (who placed an order on your store)
is active on BL and isn't responding to your multiple messages (or just ignoring),
and easier to decide to cancel an order.

For example (my example):
There is a member (USA) who has placed an order on my store (Belgium) a few days
ago. I instantly filled in and sent the invoice to serve him and be able to send
the parcel (after payment) as quickly as possible. But until now, two days later,
he hasn't read the message nor has paid for the order. Now I'm just wondering
if he was active or not lately... cause the hole situation is making me nervous.
I know I should be patient... but I find it kind of weird he responded very quickly
to my last call for buying, and afterwards not responding anymore.

So if you recognize yourself in such a situation, maybe vote 'YES' and
perhaps selling on BL will be more pleasant and more serious. I'm sure there
is a lot of members thinking this way, isn't it?

Kindly greetings,

Yapke

Address fields require clear labels

[Yes|No]

From 1/1-2020 it is no longer possible to ship goods internationally in a letter
by PostNL. There has been a lot about this in this forum.

Professional dealers can still ship at a special rate using the online system.

But this online system requires filling in fields ´very strictly´ so street,
number, extra number, region, city, postcode.

We used to copypaste BL adresses, annd expected the local post to make the right
interpretation. But this is no longer possible.

Especially Asian adresses (S.Korea,Taiwan,Japan, China, Hong Kong) now gives
some questions, because it is not allways clear ´what is what´. Japanese addresses
come in the opposite order, sometimes there is as name or number, appartment
names and numbers that can be mixed up with a streetname, and there is the problem
that numbers come before streetnames on the label- streetnumbers are printed
AFTER the streetname. In many adresses it looks that things are mentioned twice,
but possible name of city and region are the same.

More postal administrations will adopt this new system thatis required by UPU,
(countries like USA will no longer accept and may even destroy shipments without
'prior notice of content', that's what postNL tells us) so this problem
would grow in the future.

In fact this requires a new way to display adresses ( "WITH LABEL") on brickink
to avoid `wrong` or incomplete adresses to be used.

Even more important because the lines on this label is limited and unneccesary
information pushes out important information from the line.

for Lego to spot in fact any staggered +1’s underneath it should actually indicate
to Lego that several people are showing an interest in the same question but
at the same time I don’t know if it’s a good idea or not? Only repeating the

Is it possible to create 2 addresses that I can always choose from when completing

order placed change it back. because some stores have automated payment for shipping
and if I don´t change the country i don´t get the right options. I know people
in US will probably not understand why I need something but specifically for
people in SK/CZ many people have address in both countries to optimize shipping
cost etc. It´s from the past but that country difference makes me save 7 EUR
on shipping when I instead of 9€ pay just 2€.

Hello Admin,

Is there any reason why Collectible Minifigure's instruction books are inventoried

This causes confusion for buyers (and annoyance for sellers) who think they are
getting the specific minifigure's instruction booklet when it will just be
a generic book.

So when parting out a CMF, instead of:

(Instructions) for Set col19 Video Game Champ, Series 19

It should read:

Hi is it possible to sort stores not just by price or quantity but by country

Because I felt on getting stores from all over the place even outside Holland
and then I figured out that the stores in Holland have the stuff I want but it
was not the cheapest way to get the parts .... So I now set it to highest quantity
but ideal I would only easy buy to select : 1 holand : 2 most items in 1 store
: 3 as least stores possible pref just 1 but not 6 like it does now ....

I want only Holland because I will have the bricks sooner as it only takes 1

Via check-box option, It would be very handy to be able to restrict part searches
to just those sellers included in your favourite list, and separately to this,
those sellers you have open carts with.

This would be useful when adding to existing open orders (to save on shipping
or small batch orders) - If I know I'm already going to be placing orders
with Sellers A, B, C, & F, and I realise I need some more of a particular part,
being able to see which of those sellers have that part and what they're
chargning for it, is useful since I don't need to go back out to the wider
market (and shipping cost), AND I don't need to go to each open seller's
Store to search on them individually. One search does the trick.

Brand Identification stickers

One of the things that BrickLink needs, is better brand identification in the
larger community of potential buyers. It occurs to me that one way to work towards
this goal is to have BL logo stickers (I.e. The same icon contains the smiling
yellow face 2x2 brick logo). This type of sticker has been used by Apple, in
that one is included with every Apple product. Over the past ~20 years it has
been a white Apple with a bite missing, white the original incarnation was a
6-color Apple.

Our new benevolent overlords have extensive experience in producing stickers,
and presumably they have access to the ability to produce large quantities, that
we (the sellers) could include one with each order. Eventually, you would start
seeing them stuck on laptops and the rear windows of vehicles. Free advertising
for BL !

Thank you for your support.

Policy change - Undetermined versus Unknown a

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

With the takeover by TLG, it may be time that some fundamental changes to the
site get implemented. Hence the posting of this idea - that has been bothering
me for years.

— requires programming and website extension —

Currently in the Bricklink catalog are parts that signify ‘undetermined variant’,
commonly marked for deletion or already deleted, and corresponding parts that
represent the specific variants of these. The current system requires sellers
to determine the specific variant type – even if they would prefer not to distinguish.
The same system requires buyers to exactly specify which variant they are interested
in buying – even if they don’t actually care which is commonly true. My suggestion
would be to distinguish the two concepts as are the processes: the process of
specifying what is for sale (which may be undetermined) and the process of specifying
what you want to buy (which may be ‘don’t care’). Both processes are already
separate on Bricklink (store inventory and wanted lists), but the concept of
‘undetermined’ is not.

For the catalog policy
• Keep all undetermined variants in the catalog and even add undetermined
variants for those parts that are similar. This information may be extracted
from the relation type ‘part is similar to’.
• Drop the deletion marks for all the undetermined entries and solely use
this marking for wrong or outdated entries.

For sellers
For sellers to don’t want to distinguish between part variants: list these parts
under the undetermined entry only. The BL system should be modified to show these
entries amidst the specific variants for any non specific search as through wanted
lists.

For buyers
For buyers it should be possible to specify an undetermined variety or in
effect a search pattern instead of a single part number. If a buyer does not
care whether a p=4085 is of type a, b, c or d, the buyer should be able to add
p=4085* to his wanted list and the search engine should have no trouble in matching
4085a, 4085b or 4085d with this. Similarly to the 0 color (labeled N/A or Not
Appicable while in this context it actually means Irrelevant).
Buyers should be assisted by the website to specify a specific variant if applicable,
but default to the don’t care form.

For the Bricklink website
• Add a feature to the ‘Add to Wanted List’ and ‘Edit Wanted List’ forms
to allow adding of (a) this specific variant only or (b) include variants. Then
populate the wanted list with the appropriate search pattern instead of the single
part number. This would take the form of either a complete enumeration of all
varieties like ‘4085|4085a|4085b|4085c|4085d’ (plate 1x1 with clip) or the more
general entry of ‘4085*’ or ‘4085@’; I would think the enumeration is more robust,
as it would also allow ‘3794|3794a|3794b|15573’ (jumper 1x2) and would also
allow manual exclusion of one or more variants.
• Adjust the ‘Items for sale’ pages or page fragments that show all matching
parts to include all variants when searching for the don’t care variety.

For the Bricklink database
• Widen the field WantedListItems.ItemNumber to allow for longer patterns.
100 chars would be enough for most enumerations of varieties I can think of.

For the Bricklink search engine
• For matching wanted lists with store items: presume that wanted list entries
may contain a search pattern instead of a single entry. Change the SQL from ‘=’
to ‘LIKE’ wherever necessary or drop the quotes around the field. (But make sure
no malicious code may be entered through this field).

Extra
• A similar feature might be implemented to search for approximate colors
such as ‘any gray’ or ‘any green’, similar to how Studio groups the colors.

Any thoughts of whether this would be helpful for you as a seller or for you
as a buyer?

After a user places an order, it gets the default status "Ready".*
This confuses buyers: they think the order was processed and is ready for shipping.
I would like to suggest setting the default order status always to "Pending".

*(Unless they pay at once using BL, it is set to "Paid" automatically. I can't
set it to that status manually. This is confusing since there is a payment status
as well. So that's double info and I would remove that possible value for
the status.)

I realize as a non-admin I may be speaking out of turn and it will make little
difference to most people. I suggest that we add a step where an item is approved
in the catalog, but may still be awaiting release for sale. I get inspired to
make this suggestion every time I work up a set of CMF, but it would surely be
similar for other people who do catalog work on unreleased items. Sets are usually
"on hold" pending for at least a month before the official release. They could
be weighed and often they could be inventoried when they actually hit the catalog
for sale, but in the current system nothing can be done. Weight of a set can
be entered, but not weight of packing or instructions. I have over 100 items
pending in the catalog and I really wish I could get it organized, but I can't.
Would Lego object to us having information in the catalog for upcoming items?
I think they just want the sale dates respected.

Problem/bug with shipping minimum order

Viewed:

74 times

Topic:

Status:

I've never quite understood why you are not allowed to set the minimum order
of a shipping method lower than the minimum order of your store. It's annoying
because if you have 10 shipping methods, then anytime you want to change your
minimum order, you need to also change it 10x in your shipping methods, for no
real reason, because the "master setting", the store minimum order value, should
determine it already.

However, it seems it's also causing another problem: Buyers can use the bypass
password to get around the minimum order, but it does not help them go
around the minimum order of the shipping methods. The result is that anytime
a buyer used the bypass password, they are able to order but unable to select
any shipping methods. So there will need to be a manual invoice.

I'd propose removing the restriction for shipping methods to have a minimum
order value that is higher than or equal to the store minimum order value - in
fact, I'd propose for shipping methods not to need a minimum value at all.
That should solve everything I described without any side effects.

Add another column to the orders page display that tells you the price of your

It would be very nice to allow store management to configure when a Stripe payment
is actually captured instead of capturing payment at checkout. In some countries
it's not allowed to capture payment before the order is actually shipped.

For instance it could be configured to automatically capture the payment when
the order status is set to "Shipped". This is how Stripe integration is handled
on BrickOwl so there's definitely an API for this. If an automatic handling
of this cannot be implemented for whatever reason I'd be ok with settling
for a manual process.

I would love to be able to fully comply with regulations

"Fast Shipper" badge for Sellers

Viewed:

163 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Dear Bricklink,

There are certain dishonest shops that really ruin the BL experience for shoppers.
It's hard to prove, but some sellers apparently sell pieces they don't
have in their stock and only order them from elsewhere when you place an order
with them. Apologies if that sounds like unfounded accusation, but my LUG is
aware of a number of shops whose stock is always suspiciously similar to current
LEGO PaB stock, who delay shipping when PaB runs out of stock, and who generally
take around 3 weeks to ship anything, no matter how common and widely available.
Because I see no reliable way to denounce such sellers, I suggest a different,
easily implemented solution. Just like sellers who offer instant checkout are
marked with a special badge, why not create another badge that marks sellers
who ship e.g. 3 days after payment on average? We as buyers have no access to
sellers' shipping times, we can only look up their feedback and see if people
are complaining about slow service. But your system has dates of all payments
and shipments. Simply calculate days between payment and shipping for all seller's
orders and you can get a nice average. And I'm sure this average is going
to show that certain shops typically ship after 2-3 weeks while others ship after
2-3 days. Hell, I had a seller ship an order 30 minutes after payment once. Quality
service deserves recognition, and we as buyers deserve the right to be informed
whether a particular seller provides such service or not. Transparency is the
name of the game. Right now there in no reliable way to determine that, and picking
a wrong seller can mean that your MOC will get hold up for weeks.
I sincerely hope that you will consider this simple, easy to implement request
that would drastically improve Bricklink's overall transparency for buyers.

Suggestion for extra function in Bricklink

Topic:

Vote:

Hello,

Over the las couple of months i have designed some cars in Studio.
Some bricks in the middle may have a different color than the color I am currently
building. So if the color doesn't matter you select 'not applicable'
for that specific brick.

It always takes quite some time to figure out in the wanted list which bricks
should be on not applicable. I think it is much easier to include the 'color'
not applicable in the list.

As an extra function it is then useful to be able to choose the color of the
'not applicable' bricks. For example, if you are building a model in
red, you can set the 'not applicable' bricks to yellow. Because of the
contrast between these two colors you keep the overview on the model.

Greetings,

JL

It seems the forum isn't getting the same kind of community involvement as
it once did. It is fairly common to see less than 100 messages per day and I
had to go back to July to find a day that had over 200. The way the forum works
right now it can be very frustrating and time consuming finding posts of interest
as even new posts get buried quickly under 2 or 3 more active posts and that
makes it difficult to participate in the forum if you do not have the time to
browse or search through it. In terms of utility the bricklink forum is not as
easy to use and enjoy as say brickset forum. There are a lot of good parts of
the BL forum but I feel it is largely being ruined.

My suggestion is that when a post is responded to the post itself moves to the
top but it doesn't show up as a new message, so if a post is made and has
10 replies it will still just look like one post on the forum. I would also like
to recommend that certain categories get put into a different area apart from
the forum so maybe for example buying and selling, inventory change requests,
and sales posts could be seperated from the rest so they don't bury the rest
of the posts out there and stagnate the forum.

The goal would be to allow more people and ideas to participate in the community.

Adding box contents for sets?

[Yes|No]

I was wondering if there'd be a possibility of adding box contents to LEGO
sets on here. Something like listing the number of each bag, unmarked bags/unbagged
parts, etc.

I deal with a lot of secondhand sets and come across sets with open boxes (or
like today no boxes), but sealed bags of parts. Today I scored 14/17 numbered
backs for set 10237 Tower of Orthanc. I almost missed out on getting the second
bag #3 because it didn't obviously go with the other bags. Thankfully I
was able to find an old unboxing video on YouTube and figured out I'm missing
3 numbered bags (#1, #4, and one of the two #5s), plus the unnumbered eagle bag.
But usually when I'm in this situation, I haven't been so lucky. It's
especially tricky with sets that have unnumbered bags. I usually end up opening
them to do the inventory if I'm uncertain, but it would be nice to keep them
sealed and be able to know what was missing.

I'd be willing to provide the list for any new sets I open, if it might help
someone else out down the line. It seems like a fairly easy thing and I'm
surprised that, at least as far as I'm aware, there isn't somewhere to
find this information easily (at least for modern sets). Bricklink seems like
a natural place for this information to exist.

I'm not sure how many folks would be interested in that information, but
in the last year I've probably had questions on the contents for close to
10 different sets.

Anyway, I'm not even sure if this is the appropriate place to mention it,
but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Hello! I'm net1986 from South Korea!
I would like to suggest something today.

First of all I apologize for my poor English grammar, please understand.

This is what I would suggest this time.

"I wish there was function to view information of just part product from the
set, Not whole set. And function to order those just part product."

For example,
1. I want to get only police swat van from set 60008 Museum Break-in.(don't
need any part like figs or Museum)
2. But there is only brick information for whole set(Unnecessary a lot of information
confuses me)
3. It takes a lot of hard work to analyze for only just the swat van.
4. And It's very hard to order each part brick for the van

What I mean is that I wish there was a function to view a only part product(just
swat van of set 60008)and I wish I would order those part in way "easy buy".

I know that the "east buy" function already exists.
It's very helpful for restorers.
But now, It adjust only set product or MOC product as I know.

So, I wish the "easy buy" function is more enhanced(add part product from set)

I hope you guys understand my words.
reply me, thanks.

The first is folks sending messages directly to my PayPal and BrickLink notifications

Wouldn’t it be better all round if the user email address were hidden? therefore
emails would have to go thru the message system.

Leads to the second. BrickLink notifications are often delayed by two or three
days, then they all come thru together. Which is why I don’t check that mail
box often. Fairly frequently I receive the order placed notification AFTER I
have shipped the order!

I check messages on site, every morning when I first log on.

Also would benefit BrickLink as it would be far more difficult to trade off site,
if anyone were so inclined.

Please give this some consideration, it works well on the other place.

Is it possible to customize or change the thumbnail size when searching in the
catalog? I'm not sure if it's a setting I missed, but it would be useful
to when you're overlooking an entire line to find something specific.

Hello

Would it be possible to implement a new sort by-option in the Wanted List?
What I would like to see is "Missing" what would be the difference between "Wanted"
and "Have".

Quote system/Cart

Can we get the quote system/cart to be the same as the store cart?

As we all know with the Store cart when an item gets sold or the quantity differs
than you put in your cart, you can adjust the items in your store cart, or delete,
and your store cart is still active, and can remain active until you go through
with the order or empty it completely.

Can we get the quote system/cart to be like the store as well?

Rather than just losing everything in the quote cart when its gets cancelled
by whatever reason, and having to start all over again?

How can you change the Classic Layout. If you are going to make changes to things
it would be the new Layout.

We hate the way they removed the (My Order Note) line from under the order.

Now you have to travel way over to the right to see it, unless you have your
screen so small that you can't read it.

Please change it back.

I am after a few pieces to complete a few kits and am going from one checkout
to another, then to another and then cancelling the orders (before payment) because
the vendors haven't got the "Request a Quote" provision set up.
Clearly it would save a lot of stuffing around if you know the full cost incl
P&H before hand.
Even better - there should be a little icon or something next to the vendors
name to indicate whether they send quotes or not so you don't have to go
through the checkouts to find out right at the end.
This is what I'm experiencing in Australia

First: Is this the right part of the forum to suggest features for stud.io? Where
else can I contact developers file bugs, propose features etc?

I think it would be nice to be able to import a sketch, drawing, photo as a background
plane (either xy-plane, one of the three or freely positioned) and scale it to
your needs. I think this would help me designing models way more easily if I
can base it on a drawing, blueprint, etc.

Any opinions on that?

My suggestion would be to transfer the existing remarks already into the corresponding

remarks).

I would be very happy about this function.

Hi All,

Maybe a stupid question, but why is the order details on the site the weight
of all items (so Lot weight x items ordered) and if you download it, the weight
of 1 unique lot.

Second, is it possible to have the total estimated weight per order on the Download,
like it's shown online in the order?

This because I like to see/calculate the average price/kg and the average price/piece
for my orders.

Hi, sorry if this has been suggested before but I cannot find it. It would be

parts from friends.
(= Want - Have).

The system must have this, otherwise the Buy All feature would not work correctly.
So please can it be an option in the Display pull-down box?

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.

Auto-fill "my cost" for part-setting

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.

Sorting Wanted Lists Alphabetically

Topic:

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.

Add sub-serinal numbers to normal items

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.

Recently updated sorting option for stores

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

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
