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.

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.

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

| | I have over 1000 pounds of Lego to list. I am confused by some terminology in
BL store setup. Is each color of each part number a LOT? In other words, black
2x4 is a different lot than red 2x4? What is a group? Why would you want/need
to charge additional fees for a large group of unrelated parts? Any suggestions
for making this enormous task any easier? Do pulled sets sell any better than
just pieces? Are all pieces expected to be washed and cleaned? I have about 25
pounds of sealed bags (new parts), but once you open the bags, handle the parts,
and then put them into the appropriate storage place, they will get slightly
scratched/scuffed. Is this expected, or is there a solution for this?
Sorry for so many questions, but with this many parts, I need to get as much
right as possible the first time around!
|
Adding used parts using the BL "Add Item" page is not your friend. Go to github.com
and search for "BrickStore". Download and install the app.
This app allows you to create a list of mix lots that then generates an .XML
file. That file can then be used on this page, https://www.bricklink.com/invXML.asp
, to upload many lots at one time. It's easy to use, but if you have trouble
look up "how to" videos on youtube.

I've been wanting a better way to mass-upload use parts. Does Brickstore
allow you to price parts at some % of the 6-month average?
|
Yes it does.
You can set your parts to the 6 month average first, then you can increase/decrease
by x%.
One of the beauties of BrickStore is that you can set pricing for thousands of
parts in just one or two commands.

Well I'm sold- thanks!

What they said. Since instruction booklets use pictures, not words, I don't
see a different language being much of a problem.

I've not actually tried this on my own store, but makes sense. Other difference
here vs using your inventory search is that you don't get anything from your
stock rooms since they are not "available" for purchase.

|
You can kind of do this, but it isn't the greatest. If you go to "My Store"
then "Inventory", under the "Search My Inventory" section, there is a checkbox
for "Items on my Wanted List". Tick this box then just search. The problem
is that is doesn't give you any information about what "wanted list" they
are on if you do find stuff. If you've created a number of list and have
a lot of parts that match, it gets a little tricky, but you at least know you
have it. It also doesn't tell you the needed quantity, again, just that
you have a part.

I was able to add these items to my cart and made it all the way to the last
step of checkout. I'm not sure if that is where the problem is or not, but
through the rest of the process it appeared to be ok.
