as well, maybe a cat admin can update that.

To me it almost looks like a Dark Gray. Is there a reason for that? because most
of the other plate images are consistent in color.

| A good percentage of my orders are zero feedback buyers, I'll be honest I
can't remember having any issues with someone with no feedback. From time
to time they message me as unsure about something which is cool, it is our job
to help them through the system.
If someone wants to cancel, I'll always cancel no questions asked, people
make mistakes.
If you get an order from a new buyer you feel unsure of I'd suggest sending
a message to them and asking if there's anything you can help with, it can
be a bit confusing buying on Bricklink for the first time.

I think it would be great to have a function to avoid orders from people with

The color Dark Pink was changed around the same time that the new grays replaced
the old grays in 2004. So there are two true distinct shades of Dark Pink:
LEGO color 22 Medium Reddish Violet (early Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14777415117/
LEGO color 221 Bright Purple (modern Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14988645798/
I don't know if this explains the difference in the color of your parts,
but I thought you should be aware of the history of the color.
Cheers,
Randy

| | Hello everyone,
I have some long-awaited news for you! We have created a new Catalog Admin position
which has privileges on both sides of the system, the catalog and inventories.
This is a culmination of about 3 years of work, and we are so proud of our first
ever member to take this position, Hygrotus.
He has steadily worked his way up to this level from his years of being an outstanding
and reliable contributor, to a special class of contributor known as an Inventories
Verifier, to one year experience as an Inv Admin, and then most recently about
14 months as a Catalog Associate. We are pleased that he has stuck with the program
and now is going to forge ahead.
We are combining the two "halves" of the system for many reasons, but the main
one being efficiency. If only one admin is available on a given weekend, for
example, we can take care of contributions on both sides, which are often dependent
on each other.
We will retain the Catalog Associate and Inv Admin positions for the purpose
of training new Catalog Admins. They will be considered transitory positions.

[p=clikits011]

It happened yesterday, and the color does exist.
Basically, the one and only Trans-Bright Green that was in the catalog up until
yesterday contained two different colors: one that was pre-2010 (lighter and
less saturated) and one that is post-2010 (brighter and more saturated).
Pre-2010 color:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15193963935/
Post-2010 color:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15041232150/
The new color was added to separate out the pre-2010 from the post-2010. All
Clikits pieces that were listed as Trans-Bright Green will be moved to the new
Trans-Light Bright Green as well as some parts that were in DUPLO and Belville
sets.
Cheers,
Randy
P.S. Another color was also added yesterday called "Clikits Lavender" which describes
the lavender-type color used only in the Clikits line.

| I say yes to this too, I had my first neutral quite early on and it killed my
100% there and then. It was a positive too and the customer wasn't sure how
to change it. On the flip side it means you don't ever have to worry about
maintaining 100% anymore  But yeah feedback I believe has become more and
more dated across platforms. I only ever bother to look at feedback if it's
a significant amount I'm spending.

It’s a valid point made by member agulus, that has unfortunately been ongoing
as an issue, in the face of contrary input towards the feedback policy.
I’ve brought it up in the past, that a neutral should be just that, neutral,
and not effect your feedback percentage number displayed, up or down.
Beyond the obvious reasons, is the fact that there are many newish buyers that
mistakenly see BL’s neutral, as neutral. Silly people Meanwhile, it continues
to result in an amount of havoc in that arena of BrickLink.
I look forward to reading your honest thoughts
