| For me, it’s more about having to compare in the first place. If I look at several
Dark Gray or several Dark Bluish Gray parts, I can’t guess which color they are
until I can compare with a part of the other color. Then it becomes evident,
but just having to perform this comparison is tedious.

hmmm, I have difficulty telling Light Gray and Light Bluish Gray apart, sometimes,
but not so with Dark Gray and Dark Bluish Gray. But then I also have problems
with the Azures vs. Turquoise, Brown vs. Reddish Brown (due to normal color variation
some Brown parts look like Reddish Brown), etc.

| Feel free to disagree, but it is pretty clear that they are not required for
a used set based on Bricklink's definition:
Complete - Set
contains all parts necessary to build all of the models (including alternate
models) in the instructions but does not have to contain the original box/packaging
and/or extra parts.
Only the large plumes are shown in the example I give in the instructions. Smaller
plumes never make an appearance and are thus not required to build the model
and are considered extra parts. I'll still call out that they are not included,
but I will mark any sets as complete according to what Bricklink defines.

I disagree on this, because then the extra plumes should not be listed here on
bricklink as a part of the inventory of the set, but should be listed as extra
parts. IMO a set is complete, when all parts listed in the BL inventory are present,
so as it is now the extra plumes have to be there in order for you to list it
as complete.

| Black eyebrow minifigs have been created for 9348 and the changes are all finished
or pending.
In Inventories, tonnic writes:
| | I have 2 Lego education sets, 9348 and 9349.
In both sets the males have head 3626bpb0628 (head with black eyebrows) instead
of 3626bpb0121 (head with brown eyebrows).
In both sets the heads are not even with different eyebrows but also with stud
recessed instead of blocked open stud with triangle.
There is a note below the 22 minifigs of set 9348 regarding the two possible
different heads, not with the set 9349.
Also only a note below the list of 22 minifigs, NOT with the individual minifigs.
Eventhough the minifigs of set 9348 have a note regarding the black instead of
brown eyebrows I think this would not be enough, it does not show on a picture
or with the minifig inventory.
So it is very rudimentary in my opinion.
Although I have the minifigs in hands I do not have the possibility anymore to
upload the right minifigs due to the use of an iPad. Bricklink needs a code below
the minifig and parts, this cannot be done with an iPad.
Bricklink cadmin can make a note below set 9349 like with set 9348 but I think
this is not the real Bricklinkway.
If customers do not read the line below the 22 minifigs they might believe they
received the wrong minifig because inventory does not show the alternate head
and because the note regarding the different heads/eyebrows do not show at the
minifigure itself.
What can be done with this isue due to the lack of a laptop/computer?

All 'pat pend' versions of slopes have "rough" surface.
That is another way to distinguish them. At least the older ones.

The catalog is pretty good at showing you the similar molds for the same parts.
So you will learn along as you inventory your collection on BrickLink specifically.
| | It is my understanding that there are many, many, cases where different molds
were used to produce the same sets. Sometimes due to different factories, or
changing molds mid production. Sometimes the same factory was using different
mold variations at the same time on different machines.
|
Yep, the Alternatives section on set inventories will inform you of all the known
different production runs. From there you should pick the single alternative
you have the most parts of at hand and stick to it for this particular set.

I don't know about Europe, but in the U.S., sales tax is based on the location
of the buyer. So, buyers in states that collect sales tax pay sales tax on everything
they buy, regardless of where it comes from.
