I stumbled upon this error in converting to EUR in other currencies:

- 7194 set
- 3 sellers in Norway
- selecting the first shop, NOK 2952 / EUR 284.35 (1st image)
- results in (see 2nd image) NOK 2361.60 / EUR 227.47

Where did 57 EURO go?

Please check:

I just landed in a surreal part of the forum after a post of a suspended store
asking for help here.

But, when did this specific topic became reality?

Seriously? When a forum mod creates a topic area specific for help desk tickets
gone missing, you really need to address to cause of it. NOT the symptoms.

If the Help Desk processes are badly run, FIX that instead of streamlining the
flow of alarming forum posts concerning the badly run Help Desk processes.

"Well, you have a leaking sewer. We will open a special helpline for posting
questions regarding leaking sewers for your convenience. Thank you for calling!"

NO!!! I need the sewer fixed. It won't fix itself by calling another helpline.
Fix the sewer!!!

Making my way back to another reality.... wish I never left it in the first place.

And again we are at September 24th.
And again we stand still at the remebrance of Dan Jezek, who left this realm
12 years ago.
And again I am thankful for what he envisioned, what he build, and what he gave
to all of us.

Every year, I feel sad at one hand, and very, very, very thankful for what he
meant for so many.

Thanks, and build well!!!!

Just handled some orders, and the status USED/NEW was gone at several items (see
pic).

Refreshing, restarting, reloading.... no difference.
What happened?

Hi all,

just read the posts regarding a store with a lot of rare figs and what triggered
that (respectful apologies posted by several members; thanks for that!).

Could we be less active acusing/thinking/insinuating etc. and leave the research
to the business part of BrickLink?

And start a petition to implement real rules about investigating stores etc.?

Off building, that's way more fun

Dear fellow BL-ers,

I reguraly go the the pages on the site to remember Daniel, as our 'founding
father' of BrickLink.

This morning was one of those days I needed to reread that page again.
However, clicking on his name, I was taken here:

http://www.bricklink.com/linkMOC.html?page=help/about3

Please have this link properly pointing to Daniel.

As I was searching through a shop, I wondered when the last order I placed here
was made.
So I checked.
And saw.... an order with a date, yet to come on the calendar (check picture!).

What happened in the database???

Dear fellow members,

this week I have received wholesale offerings for sets in a b2b setting from
2 large sellers (1 47K fb) in Europe.

I am NOT pleased with these messages.

First, I am not in the b2b business. So they are wrongly adressed.
Second, as far as I am aware of, BL-user-data is not allowed to be used for these
kind of messages.
Third, what's with the 'for your benefit and profit' thinking?

Is anybody else getting these messages as well?
Or are they just phishing attempts?

Already made 2 complaints for these 2 members at the BL office (whatever will
happen next, dunno...)

Hi everyone,

I am looking for an Australian BL-er who is willing to help me out.

In search of some small parts (20 gram, letterbox/envelop fitting) that are ONLY
available in some Australian shops, I stumble upon sellers that do NOT ship to
my country (The Netherlands, Europe).

Politely asking to make an exeption, did not change the sellers mind.

So here's a shout-out to my helpful fellow-BL-ers in Australia: who is willing
to help me out here? Buy them for me, and ship them to me at my expenses of course.

Cheers
StarBrick

Fellow members, I have trouble finding this part in the catalog and the corresponding
minifigs that wear these trousers and belt:
