I was able to load and use BRICKSTORE just fine on my laptops, so it is definitely
an issue with my PC. Thanks for looking.

I downloaded Brickstock yesterday with the same data issue.

That needs to confirmed. If true, then it could be grounds for a major catalog

want new plastic parts intermingled. There would need to be some way to distinguish

Not a chemist but:
First, to be pedantic, all plastics are plant-based: they come from petrol which
comes from plants.
The “plant-based plastic” is actually “sustainable plastic” (not made from petrol
derivatives but from sugar cane alcohol).
For now (that is, no contradictory announcement was made), the sustainable plastic
LEGO uses is PE (soft parts), not ABS (bricks…).
And there’s no difference between petrol-PE and sugar cane-PE.
So that’s not the fault of the so-called “plant-based plastic.”
That being said, LEGO also continously tunes its plastics. In more or less
big steps, like using pre-coloured pellets or not or just “tinkerings.”
Lastly, the biggest change has been to go from PC to MABS for transparent parts
(that leads to cloudy parts when it’s not Trans-Clear).
Last year, the chief of LEGO’s Quality Perception dpt said they tried very very
hard to make the appearance & feel constistent. But he also said one of the
changes made snapping go more “ploom” than “click” (paraphrasing, with my faulty
memory and French accent  ).

When you have that kind of question, look at the sets the part was found in.
You see that it came in two sets, one with
So that the connector it’s compatible with.
You can then continue the investigation to see which battery box goes with the
electric plate:
And now you know what to buy.
Or, if it’s only for testing, as it’s 9V, you can use any 9V battery (or 2x 4.5V…)
and try to make it work with free wires. (That would be only for testing I guess.)

I somewhat disagree. My store has never exceeded the 4,500 parts and I've
received 49 orders within 4-5 months. I sold 2-3 sets and a very small number
of figs as well. Most of my parts were relatively common even though I did place
some pretty rare parts a few times.
Right now Bricklink is as slow as it will ever be. I haven't gotten an order
in almost 2 months even though I keep stocking. I'll probably post about
this later on but just keep stocking. When August-September comes around, sales
should pick up, hopefully. Take care, - SB

For one, with a small store such as yours you should probably price your items
cheaper. Use the "quantity average" over six months, for example, instead of
"average" (the former is weighted and the latter isn't).

My advise : adjust some of your store terms:
- REMOVE "I am not resposible for orders damaged in shipping" ... You should
at least feel responsible if not do everything you can when something goes wrong.
Whether or not it's a legal obligation in your country/area.
- REQUIRE Instant payments. So REMOVE "Payment due within 3 days."
As a consequence, you can REMOVE "Please be aware I file nonpayment complaints
for buyers who do not pay."
- Have more stock and make as much noise as you can.

From one plastic cat to another: get more stock. There are official individual
Lego sets with more parts than your entire store. Minifigs sell best, and you
only have 2 figs. You need to make a much larger initial investment and be prepared
to stay in the red for awhile as you build up your stock. As a buyer with hundreds
and hundreds of orders, I've virtually never bought from a store with fewer
than 25,000 parts, because I can always find all those same parts plus more at
a bigger store.
