Hi,

Is it possible as a buyer to add personal comment to a lot or part in the cart?
By personal I mean that it will only be visible to me and not the seller.

Currently it is possible to add comments only to the whole order after it has
been made but
I need something in higher resolution.

For me it can be helpful to write down the purpose of the item I'm purchasing,
for later usage when the order arrives.

How do I suggest something like this to Bricklink?

Thanks,
Nadav

If you're referring to the store's listing?

https://store.bricklink.com/CanadaFirst?p=CanadaFirst#/shop?o={%22q%22:%2271710%22,%22sort%22:7,%22desc%22:1,%22pgSize%22:100,%22showHomeItems%22:0}

... then it's the instructions. Yes, it can be confusing for the uninitiated.

btw, you can always put questions to them directly

  Hello.

Odd question but is there a way to just buy the pieces of the set? Like I wanted
to check if this was a feature. Select an option where you can get the pieces
you're looking for if you have instructions or a button to select. In case
the set is hard to find or very rare. And if you don't care about the box,
minifigs or instructions?


Thanks!

alternatively, you can look for a used set and just sell the instructions, buy
a new set and ask the seller to de box it for you. Buying it individually will
almost always be more expensive than in a set

You should be aware that if a set is rare (demand higher than supply) then some
of the parts are also likely to be rare. And will probably end up costing more
than the set.

You can add a sets inventory to a 'Wanted List' (see pic).
You can then use the Wanted List to search for stores that have all the parts.

There are many excellent sellers with stores that offer conditional “free shipping”
and if you come upon a store that doesn’t, simply ask ahead of ordering.

You may be surprised how well the request is received, if when asking, you spell-out
what type of order you’re considering. Not just dollar amount, but number of
lots and the type of items too. In supplying these particulars, you’ll find more
sellers willing to entertain and reply. Basically, it's letting the seller
know that you’re serious and what costs they can expect to factor and absorb.

Normally, I offer free shipping on domestic orders over $200, though I'm
considering lowering the threshold for 2022.

But since it's Christmastime, I'll temporarily offer free shipping on
domestic orders over $25 for anyone who sees this post. Just mention this offer
in a message with your order over $25 before tax between now and the end of Christmas
Day (midnight on 12/25). You'll receive a refund for the full shipping costs
when your order ships.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to all!

Hi,
Use a Wanted List: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1

And then use the Buy Page to find store(s) with your parts: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445

A common problem with Russian banks

The problem is not solely with the banks, but with PayPal. Rather than packing
up and leaving the marketplace (as they spoke of early on) they ultimately decided
to stay, accepting the new restrictions: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1305735

The root cause for the new restrictions is the Russian Government's concern
over the domestic money-flows. They want insight if not more control over money
movements within the country itself. Apparently instruments like PayPal were
heavily relied on for such, at least as claimed in their statements. Not that
knowing the "root cause" will help you or anyone else just trying to transact
with/from Russia using PayPal of late

  Ask your seller to manually create a PayPal invoice from their PayPal account.

There are two ways to create a payment request by the seller.
1) 'Request Money' - this will NOT work
2) ';Create an invoice' - this should work

I am saving up my notifications for just the right time. I have yet to decide

  Hi all,

Is there any way for BL to let me know if a specific part is for sale and if
so how refined is the criteria? Say I want to know if a seller makes available
at least 100 2x4 bricks in blue for a price of no more than 8p per brick. Is
it possible to set up a notification with this level of detail?

Thanks!

Also by seller I mean any seller in the UK not a specific seller.

Yes, you can add any part to your wanted list in a specific color, condition,
quantity, and maximum price. Then make sure that "notify" is checked next to
it. What you will get is an email notification anytime a seller uses the "notfy
feature" in their store that matches ALL the criteria on that part. If any condition
is not met, you will not get an email. So if your quantity shows 10 and they
only have 8 you will not get an email.

As for receiving only notifications from a specific country, I am not sure that
there is a way to do that.

It's important to know that you will not recieve an email anytime an item
you have set up like this is listed. It is only when the seller uses the notify
feature which is completely dependant on the seller.

Pete

Here's where the "Notify" checkbox is located on your wanted list

Aha that's great, thanks very much!

  Hi all,

Is there any way for BL to let me know if a specific part is for sale and if
so how refined is the criteria? Say I want to know if a seller makes available
at least 100 2x4 bricks in blue for a price of no more than 8p per brick. Is
it possible to set up a notification with this level of detail?

Thanks!

Also by seller I mean any seller in the UK not a specific seller.

Yes, you can add any part to your wanted list in a specific color, condition,
quantity, and maximum price. Then make sure that "notify" is checked next to
it. What you will get is an email notification anytime a seller uses the "notfy
feature" in their store that matches ALL the criteria on that part. If any condition
is not met, you will not get an email. So if your quantity shows 10 and they
only have 8 you will not get an email.

As for receiving only notifications from a specific country, I am not sure that
there is a way to do that.

It's important to know that you will not recieve an email anytime an item
you have set up like this is listed. It is only when the seller uses the notify
feature which is completely dependant on the seller.

Pete

Hi Bricklinkers,

I already have copy of 4 existing certificates but the goal is to find all 7
(known to be in existence) ones.
I want to check the market, so see my wanted list, please:



1 x certificate with lime lom "Altair" (lom003) --- search "lomcert5" on
www.bricklink.com
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=LoMcert5#T=S&O={%22rpp%22:%22200%22,%22iconly%22:0}


1 x certificate with sand purple lom "Mizar" (lom009)


1 x certificate with black lom "Rigel" (lom011)



Please get in contact with me. We can figure out a good deal for both of us.
I would be happy if I find another certificate . It is some time ago I found
one.
It would be a cool Christmas present for myself .

Hoping to hear you, very thanks and greetings

Farid

I'll presume that I 'messed up some setting somewhere' since every

I input. Any ideas???

You have reached the browsing limit. There is an unspecified limited number of
store pages you may visit in a day or so. Try again tomorrow and you will be
good to go for a while.

  In step 3, I believe, when you choose a payment method, to the bottom left corner
of the box is a tiny drop-down. You can choose the coupon there.

Tiny drop-down indeed. Every now and then, I see my coupons and notice that
I didn't use it for a purchase I just made.

It sure would be nice if it were more prominent, like on Amazon.

  Ok, thanks for letting me know. This is very strange, seeing it for the first

I will try again later.

If you don’t have filters in the way, I think this happens when you’ve browsed
stores “too much.”

May I kindly ask what does "browsing too much" mean? I am searching for the items
from my wanted lists. Do I need to wait to do that?

I don’t know what is “too much,” that’s why I used quotes
There’s a “daily” counter but I don’t know on which “day” it runs.  It may be
reinitialized during the daily maintenance (in less than an hour) or at 0:00
(just a few minutes ago).

So buy on bricklink instead!

Thank you, never checked out that site, makes more sense to me now.

Might take a look, could turn up something interesting.

It is just an FYI for when purchasing from Stock X, if you are a box collector.

plus a few that have minimal stock and activity (like me! LOL)
I can send you my list if you like.
