But for what reason? I cannot know the wants of every member, but I imagine
the demand for just chrome red arms and legs without the rest of the body would
be slim to none. This seems like more of a request to allow every possible part
ever made into the BL catalog for the sake of catalog "completeness" as opposed
to an effort to provide a method to sell and buy something.

Exactly, the arms and legs should be made available for sale. Just because they
weren't released outside of being a keychain, doesn't mean we shouldn't
be able to sell them.

We allow these already which never were officially released outside of a glued
keychain.

Please provide some examples of parts that need this color.

It only comes on two keychains:

* 
5005205 VIP Chrome Red Minifigure Key Chain with LEGO Logo Tile, Modified 3 x 2 Curved with Hole - Yellow Label
Gear: Key Chain

And they are glued, so cant be inventoried, so no parts in chrome red?

At least the arms and legs can be taken off, so it is possible to have singe
parts which would need to be listed in chrome red if you want to sell them.

Btw. this is already mentioned here as part of project 2:

In 13 years on the site I do not believe much as been implemmented that has been
suggested but here is another one to ponder.

Several times a year there are problems on the site regarding e-mails being sent
out. That pertains to either notifies, order notifications, etc. Most recently
there is a problem again with notifies. With orders you can simply check your
order detail page and see if there is something new on there. But with notifies
if you do not receive an email you have nothing. No idea whether the messages
went out nor to how many buyers. And even more importantly you cannot re-do it.
Opportunity lost for both your store and of course, Bricklink. Quite a dilemma
really as apart from your store page (And that is more than limited for this
day and age)there is no other marketing tool available to sellers.

What if the following were implemented

Create a notify log similar to the part out log (which is pretty underwhelming,
but at least it is something).

The notifies log could be created using a query on the SQL transaction log and
it could look something like this in the first instance:

Date No Lots (uniques) No Notifies Status
20/03/2021 333 1257 Success
21/03/2021 158 754 Success


This might take a non-sql person an hour or so to write the code but it would
be worth its weight in gold to sellers. The no of notifies could be a link to
the calendar file which shows the uniques listed and the status, provided it
shows success at least lets you know they were sent out.

Any thoughts?

  Hi,

I've seen a bad situation where BrickLink can told to use a particular shipping
method but the parts does not fit with the method, because on the restriction
on the dimensions. The problem is due to the absence of dimensions of one part
in the catalog.

In the Inventory page, I am able to list all items missing the weight in the
catalog. It would be great to have an identical filter to identify items without
dimensions.

Regards,

porchy

I suggest you try the checkbox: Instant Checkout Unavailable on your My Inventory
page to find these items.
