| Hi all!
So we've had the 6077 forestman set for a long time.
And, both on the instructions AND the Bricklink description, there is a mistake
on the color RED of colar for torso 973p48c01 : it IS REDDISH BROWN, not RED.
It's certified.
thanks 
best regards
Soon

This^
I thought it was obvious; but apparently people prefer to put all the Minifig
Heads in the same drawer, so they've 99% chances to make a mistake

I can see how that works for maybe a one-room workplace, but we have a storage
building, a sorting building, and then the listing usually occurs in the house.
When we list heads, for example, it's a lot easier to take one bin with all
the heads in it than a few hundred. But we keep them very organized with bags
and labels.
In fact, I feel this method may be slightly better as it forces the picker to
pay more attention to what they're actually handling and doing.

please do think of the consequences for sellers when any item switches categories.
Where item x would be in category 1 and stored in bin 1, all of a sudden the
same item x would be in category 2. But I will not find it in bin 2, because
I didn't move storage locations when an item changed categories in the past.

The problem is you should NEVER organize your stock by Categories, neither by
Color or Reference.
All this can change, and often changed by BrickLink directly in your Inventory
(worst case scenario).

Agreed! I specialize in small minifig parts and most of my picking comes from
784 common sized small drawers.
I upload by category and before each upload, I run macros to auto sort my inventory
export so that I put each (lets say "modified head") into the most empty drawer
that doesn't already have a modified head in it. I do this for each category
with the goal being that any given drawer only has 1 minifig lot, 1 head lot,
one headgear lot, etc... as many dissimilar items as possible in each drawer.
It makes picking easy, cause you don't have to pay very close attention if
the customer ordered a torso from a given location and there is only 1 style
torso in that drawer.
I used to put all black torsos in one bin... uhhhhh... yikes... took forever
to find the correct one.

I run a very small shop, with a very limited inventory (although I have tons
to sort ...).
What is your secret to organize stock? By day of the week you purchased the part?
|
Spatial? Like "Drawer 056"?
