HI everyone, is there a way to consolidate your inventory thats in your inventory?
Also Im having this issue because Im parting out using brickstore, am i missing
a a step to consolidate into my inventory?

Are you ticking the 'Consolidate lots by using' checkbox on the Mass
Upload screen?

You should also consolidate the parts in BrickStore, before uploading to BL (Edit
- Consolidate Items). This is because of a situation where you part out a set
that has the same part in the main inventory and also as an extra i.e. 2 duplicate
lots in BrickStore. If the part does not already exist in your inventory, BL
will not consolidate them during upload (regardless of the consolidate checkbox
setting).

Also, Comments is often a field that catches people out... if you have different
comments between two of the same part, then BL will create a separate lot.

To get around this in BrickStore...
Download your store inventory into one file.
Part out the set in another file.
Consolidate the items (as explained above).
On the 'Edit' menu, use the 'Copy Values from Document' option
and copy the Comments from your downloaded inventory file (just make sure to
set the other fields to Ignore).

This makes sure that the comments in your upload match what is already in your
inventory and stops duplicates being created due to different comments.

Not sure about brick store, but if you want to consolidate repeat lots go to
your inventory, search my inventory, select non-unique and go, this will show
repeat lots and from there you can manually adjust and delete repeats.

Is HTML causing this problem?

Maybe they have done it to stop sellers using those stupid smileys and other
non-ASCII characters in the item notes to try to get people to notice to see
those items. I don't think I've seen any for a while so maybe they are
blocked but this has a side effect of stopping other html coding.

The question is, if this is the case, can't I use html anymore?
Did you hear / read something about that?

You can use a limited subset of HTML in the extended description, but not in
the (shorter) immediate comments on the listing.

Thanks for your reply. Guess I can't use the color code anymore then.
It looks like BR, B and U don't cause any problems.

Hello all, i'm new to bricklink but excited to be able to buy pieces etc.

I'm in the UK and considering buying some bits i would like from Poland,
how do i know if the box and instruction manual will be in english?

Can i find out soemhow?

Thanks in advance

You could ask the seller, but for instruction manuals - I don't think it
would much matter.

It could: more and more sets have an introduction and infos distilled during
the build.

Which, if the European ones are similar to the US ones, have that intro in several
languages, so I'd assume purchased one of those from a European country would
still have that info in English.

https://brickset.com/sets/10283-1/
Check the instructions from TLG: FR, DE, ES, IT, ZHSI & then North America and
International.

The intro text and the tidbits are in the corresponding languages, not a one-size-doesn’t-anybody.

Most European market sets are in multiple languages. Take a look on the back
of a box, there are about a dozen languages so one product does the whole of
the European (and further) region.

Yes, you appear to be correct. I'll go ahead and order and fingers crossed
its not totally foreign.
Thanks all for your help
