My number of Wanted Lists has expanded into chaos. I'm working on a big project
and I would really appreciate sublists (or superlists) in the Wanted List section.
What I mean is basically the possibility to have a new list inside of a Wanted
List. For example a regular Wanted List containing a load of items AND another
list called "extra parts". Or a Wanted List called "castle" containing my castle
related lists. I hope you get the idea. Please make this happen!!

Can we lower the NPB time from 7 days to 2 days? Giving buyers almost 2 weeks
before a NPB ticket is completed is to long. If they don't respond to Bricklink
invoices, messages or emails directly in the first 5 days they shouldn't
get another 7 days.

Adjusting Colour Names such as Bluish Grey?

Viewed:

480 times

Topic:

Status:

[Yes|No]

It will be known to many that I’ve always favoured the idea of using official
Lego colour names not because I like them better or think they describe the
colours better (Many are very odd choices!) but simply because it creates less
uncertainty about what I’m selling and what the customer thinks they are buying
however I’ve made that argument already and now’s probably the time to accept
that Bricklink colour names are unlikely to match that of the Lego group!

However one thing that has always jarred me somewhat is the use of the term ‘Bluish’
to describe the greys when I’m sure if it was’nt for the need to fit around the
older existing greys already in the catalog both would have no doubt just been
given the simple description Dark/Light Grey instead of Dark/Light Bluish Grey?

The thing is the way I see it Bricklink uses its own colour names for three main
reasons:-

A) Lego never provided a colour name for them to use (at least not in the early
days!)

B) They wanted their colour names to better describe and match the actual shade
of colour!

C) They wanted their colour names to be short and to the point!

However when it comes to those last two points colours like ‘Dark Bluish Grey’
and ‘Light Bluish Grey’ both fail to meet that ideal objective compared to most
of the other colour names that have been created by Bricklink. Both descriptions
are lengthy and somewhat misleading? If anything I see more ‘Bluish Grey’ in
a colour like Sand blue than either of these two greys and when all said and
done they are basically just Light and Dark Grey?

So what does it matter and what to do?

Well because they are both what I would call very common CORE central colours
in Legos colour palette it stands to reason that we should perhaps think about
giving them the most suitably descriptive name for them (Light and Dark grey?)
after all that is what any newbie or anyone else for that matter would define
them as?

Both of these colours are ‘very current’ where as the discontinued greys are
not so current and therefore probably don’t warrant the need for the best descriptive
name for them any longer? In fact if we were to rename the existing Light and
Dark Grey as ‘Old Light Grey’ or ‘Classic Light Grey’ I think this would also
be very helpful to newbies when they are confronted with so many different shades
of grey?

I would also consider using the ‘Old/Classic’ tag for some other discontinued
colours too like Brown i.e ‘Old Brown’ I have less problem with Reddish brown
remaining as that is at least what Lego themselves call it but ‘bluish’ is a
made up bricklink term that has little relevance to the actual colour nor does
Lego use the term? Lego may have added more blue to the actual colour mix than
the old greys but in appearance they are simply intended to be a Light and Dark
Grey in a new and current form hence I feel we should refer to them as such?

Also wherever we use the term ‘Very Light’ can I suggest using the term ‘Pale’.
i.e ‘Pale Grey’ instead of ‘Very Light Bluish Grey’ as shorter names are much
easier for people to read off the site and to label/Inventory their stocks even
if that does mean some initial disruption?

Lastly shouldn’t we at least try and mirror Lego’s reference to Grey and use
‘Grey’ instead of ‘Gray’ in the descriptions?

I hope others will share the same logic in what I’m trying to suggest or perhaps
I’m barking up the wrong tree? Thoughts?

Shipping address stop list

Hi all,

For the second time in a week I got an order from what appears to be a scam account.
Different names and email addresses but the shipping address is the same.

The first time, the bogus feedback was removed by the admins but I was left with
the transaction costs. I guess the bogus feedback will be removed again and thankfully
this time they didn't use instant checkout so no transaction costs.

In an ideal world, I would like to be able to place the shipping address on a
stop list so that the problem is stopped at the source and I don't have to
deal with any part of it at all.

Even better, BL could maintain such a stop list and require manual verification
before buying privileges are granted again after an account is closed as bogus.
Something similar to what sellers need to do before opening a store.

For now, I've solved at least the transaction costs problem by excluding
the country from instant checkout shipping methods but I can imagine that's
not a solution for everyone, especially when such an account is domestic.

Looking forward to your thoughts,
Ant

It would be a great feature to be able to update a design with a newer, improved
version. This way, you don't have to publish multiple designs that look the
same, but with only some improvements. Also, this way you can keep the comments,
views, likes, etc...

It should also be possible to calculate the difference to the original (number
of parts added, deleted, moved or changed color). This way you can check if the
new version is not too far from the original (A house can't suddenly become

Hi Bricklink,

I would like to propose a UI option for buying parts with auto-select.
Everytime I purchase my parts, I try to minimize the number of stores due to
the additional shipping fees. Therefore, it would be good to have an option to
include the estimated shipping fees per store (for example $5 per store not necessary
to be exact) so that auto-select considers the shipping cost while still minimizing
the total cost.

Suggestion in regards to automatic quote cancellations:

I've never received a quote cancellation myself, but assuming it doesn't
already say so, it would be beneficial that when a quote cancellation is automatically
sent by the BrickLink system due to an item being sold out, that an automated
message to the buyer is sent out and indicating which item caused the quote cancellation
trigger.

I just received yet another message from a newer buyer asking why their quote
was cancelled and they wanted to accept it. To the buyer, it looks like sellers
are cancelling their quotes, when it's simply that a part that they ordered
is no longer available.

Wanted List percent formula error

Viewed:

83 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

The formula for the Wanted List Percentage does not properly calculate the percentage
of "HAVE" parts compared to the "TOTAL" Parts. Should the % shown be the amount
of "Have" pieces vs the total number of "Wanted" pieces, or is it intended to
provide some other detail? It's not showing the percent of LOTS completed,
and its not showing the percent of Parts with Have qty equaling the Want qty.
The formula seems to be working is a convoluted way, combining the percentage
for Want/Have and the percentage of Lots with any Have parts, and the total number
of lots.

Example #1 to illustrate the issue:
Wanted list with TWO lots.
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 10 (This is 10% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 900, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)

The Percentage bar should show 1% (10 of 1,000), but the formula produces 5%.

Example #2 to illustrate the issue:
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 900, Have 900 (This is 100% of the want value)

The percentage bar should show 90% (900 of 1,000), but the formula produces 50%.

Example #3 to illustrate the issue:
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 450, Have 900 (This is 50% of the want value)

The percentage bar should show 45% (450 of 1,000), but the formula produces 25%.

In all examples, the percentage shown does not equate to anything tangible, real
or useful, and if very misleading

Unfortunately, this misinformation has led to many, many lost hours and much
frustration.

Please work to correct the formula, so that the percentage bar is a real, actual,
useful representation of the data.

If by some odd situation, the bar is performing as intended, please clarify its
intended function.

Thank you,
Brandon

Been getting a lot of inquiries recently from newer buyers asking about our bulk
lots that are sold in multiples of x10, x50, x100.

Was thinking that maybe the text i.e (x50) or (x100) on such bulk lots could
have a blue text with a link that explains that these lots have to be purchased
in the multiples that are inside bracketed amount and a clarification that the
price is per piece and not for a lot that contain 100 pieces (yes, we get buyers
who ask if we sell a bag of 100 pins for 2 cents per bag.)
While it seems intuitive to some of us, it might be a nice gesture toward new
users.
Obviously not a priority project.

"Here's a sample (anonymous of course) of a message we got this week:
Hello. Trying to figure out pricing on some items. For example "Black Technic,
Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise, Staggered, with or without Center Slots"
item 2780 it lists as QTY: 42,200 (x100) and says its a bag of 100. The price
is $0.02. If I want 150 is the quantity 150 or 2? I.e. is it 0.02 per bag or
per piece?"

Thanks for considering.

Hi

I have just accidentally ordered a set from a seller, because it wasn't clear

On Amazon, there is a final page which lists the total order amount including
shipping fees. I was trying to get to the Bricklink equivalent of this page so
that I could see how much delivery would cost, but before I knew it I had an
order confirmation number and so-on.

The fact that the order was about to be placed should be made a *lot* clearer,
especially for new users such as myself.

I managed to send a cancellation request about one minute after placing the order
- let's hope the seller is ok with it

First Forum post! Be kind...

I don't know if this idea has been floated about before, but I'm a bit
of a 'wishlist basketeer', meaning I often build baskets based on what
I feel will come in useful, or what I want, and leave it to sit. I do this with
all sorts of stores to find the best pricing and shipping costs, which can, needless
to say, get quite messy.

What I do right now is have prioritised baskets in tabs, but it's not very
tidy or efficient.

I reckon it would be useful, not just to me, but to everyone, if we could arrange
our baskets in priority order; like a drag and drop list of baskets, or a rating
system or something.

What do y'all think?

Hi,
I have a suggestion for the wanted list in order to be a little more visual.
What about adding color codes for the completion bar of each wanted list?
If you have several wanted lists for several items, it would be good to see them
in green only when they reach 100% so you instantly see which one you can start
building.
Then, you could have yellow for anything less than 100% and red for anything
les than 50%.
It is just my opinion, but it would give a better look at the wanted list page.

Hi there everyone,

I have recently bought my first parts from BrickLink, everything went smoothly
and i even got some parts in home!

However i just realised, that some parts in my XML list, why i bought and then
uploaded, contain some items with their color tagged as "(not applicable)", aka
the color isnt defined yet. However since this is my first buy i didnt notice
that these parts would be appointed a colour at random.

A great suggestion to prevent this from happening to me, or any new buyer is
maybe to add a small warning that you have some parts which do not have a colour
appointed.

Hey Bricklink,

I would love to add dimensions to my parts that don't have them, but unfortunately
they don't sell rulers that measure by studs and bricks at the hardware store.
Also, I didn't take the brick-ometry class in high school. Can you please
change the dimensions of parts to an international standard? Metric, Imperial,
I don't care, as long as more than just the users of this site know what
they mean and I can buy a ruler at the dollar store that measures them.

It would be a great help for shipping, especially when parts over a certain dimension
can't be shipped via a certain package size. I know, I can't believe
Canada Post doesn't convert bricks to centimetres, what snobs.

I hate to say this but brick owl is good for one thing, they list their measurements
in cm. Guess where I go most of the time for part dimensions? I won't spoil
it.

So in conclusion, please, please, please change the way parts are measured in
Bricklink from studs and bricks to centimetres, millimetres, or even inches (counting
by twelves - shudder).

Thanks for your consideration!

a lot of sellers just don't realize they need to use onsite payment because

Consider implementing a box to inform users of important changes coming or recently
done.

I made a mockup, check the image attached.

BrickLink is BROKEN (minifig subcondition)

1) If: "Sets" are a specific collection of parts.
2) And: Such collections of parts are still considered "sets" whether complete
or incomplete.
3) And: "Minifigures" are a specific collection of parts.
4) Then by logic: Such collections of parts are still considered "minifigures"
whether complete or incomplete.

Ergo, BrickLink is broken. One currently cannot list an incomplete minifigure.
They must instead be broken to their basic components and listed as single parts.....and
this makes no sense from both a logical standpoint or a buyer-friendly standpoint.

We NEED "incomplete/complete" definitions for minifigures (and for all inventoried
items for that matter) to keep this marketplace competitive. A $20 11-piece
minifigure missing an inconsequential part should be possible to list as "incomplete"
and defining the missing item. To have to break this nearly complete collection
composing the minifigure down to individual parts, pieces a seller likely does
not want to break apart given it is more desirable or worth more as a whole instead
of pieces, makes eBay a better marketplace for the item. eBay should NEVER be
a better option than BrickLink on the ability to list and sell LEGO. Something
is wrong with this site when this is the case.

PLEASE correct this and add the same complete/incomplete definitions for minifigures.
It certainly cannot hurt the marketplace and will actually improve it by helping
to eliminate the ever so common "missing ----" descriptions sellers often
currently use (though shouldn't) under the same catalog entry for the undefined
figure. Buyers shop specific figures, and as such should have the option to
buyer complete or incomplete as meets their needs.

Country of user in forum message list

Hi there,

It would be great if the country of a user could be displayed in the forum's
message lists - along with the other user information like feedback, etc. Especially
in the "Sales" forum you could then quickly deduce whether the offer might be
interesting for you or not.

As an example I'm from Germany, but many offers are from the US which are
usually not interesting to me due to high shipping costs.

Best regards

Daniel

Hello there,

Due to USPS's precedented volume, I wonder if you can add a column under
the Order page to include the tracking # so the buyer can track after the order
is shipped? Thank you.

Best, Annie

It would be practical to know store's city in the case we want to do local
buying (buying bigger lots, bigger pieces, save on shipping or only buy local).

We have already the list by country and province/state.
We could add the city.

Also in the Buy Wanted Lists/Items for sale, we could add with the country and
the contient, a "near by X kms" or something like that.

This is an international market and each store has their own shipping rules.
PLEASE find a way to automatically include shipping costs before we request to
buy. You have our zip codes. Automate it. I don't like wasting sellers time
when shipping is outlandish

auto-fill [min | max]

When you are in a store and filter by items on your wanted list the auto-fill
[min | max] option appears. However, it seems as both of these options are useless
in their current state and a different option would be useful.

auto-fill max automatically adds all pieces a seller has available to your cart.
If you want 1 and the seller has 14,000 you get 14,000 added. I'm not sure
how that is useful. You have to manually adjust every lot to the correct qty.

auto-fill min automatically selects the number you have set in your wanted list
but ignores price, so if a seller has a $.01 piece listed for $400 you get that
in your cart. You again have to manually adjust every lot.

A much more useful feature would be an autofill like the autofill min that fills
in the correct qty, but one that also accounts for the max price that you have
set in your wanted list and does not add pieces to your cart that are more than
you want to pay.

Hi can you please add a "Submit changes" button on the top of the page as well,
so that I don't have to scroll down the entire page each time I make a change?
Thank you for doing all that you do.

Option of "median" price instead of average

Hi, I don't know about you, but I'm mad about those sellers that destroy
the sale price average with sky high prices.

Easy remedy, kick them out or change the rules. But since that won't happen,
I thought of something else, a median price in the price guide.

A median price average removes the higher and lower values and gives a more realistic
or typical price for an item.

We could have and option between average or median, or have the two displayed
in the price guide. I think it should be pretty easy to code and add to Bricklink.
And a much needed improvement.

Any thoughts ?

Item delete request back into inventory

I have just had to remove a large part of an order as the buyer did not want
them, he asked to cancel the whole of a batch.

As the seller I initialised the request and the buyer approved all bar 2 of the
items.

I have now got the task of adding all the items back into my inventory by hand
as the function for re-adding them automatically can only happen if the buyer
carries out the item removal request first.

Can we as sellers have the option to review and upload them automatically even
if we instigated the request.

Hello,
- on wanted list a 'wanted - have' filter makes easier finding missing
pieces.
- on apply order window: there are two columns (wanted and present in order):
the 'have' column here is missing.
