| | | You could always message the seller directly, offering to buy the part/fig at
a lower price. Some may be more than willing to take you up on the offer.
|
This adds a lot of friction to the checkout process for both buyer and seller.
I just want to tick a couple of boxes and be done, you know?

goes for"
There are a ton of parts that I have basically infinite demand for at the market
price, or slightly below. Every time I shop at a store I want to add any copies
that the current seller has where they aren't gouging me.

If you are buying expensive items, it may be worth shopping around for a better
deal. For example, suppose two stores have the same minifig, but one is selling
it for $50, and the other is selling it for $80. Then buy the $50 minifig.

I also have a lot of want lists and before I check out I always see if the current
seller happens to have any of those parts/figs.
Often they will have a fig I want, but they are asking 2x the going rate for
that part. For instance, recently a seller I was buying from had a Harry Potter
fig for $16 that usually sells for $8 if you check the global sales stats. During
the checkout flow, I'd like be able to offer $8 for this fig in addition
to the rest of my order, and then the seller can decide if they want to add it
to the order or not.
I think a lot of times the seller just doesn't regularly update prices for
the figs they are selling and would often toss in extras at market rate for an
order that they are already shipping, since it is easy.

| | Hi I'm wondering where you're holding as far as
1) adding an option to search for a part while excluding all entries with stickers,
and possibly another excluding Duplo.
|
try typing -pattern at the end or -sticker or maybe -duplo Hopefully that should
help 
| | 2) When searching a part number, include in the results all parts that start
with those numbers, i.e. all variations of that mold. For example, 11439 only
brings up the solid color version of this part, instead of all the mixed-color
variations.
|
if you add a wildcard such as a * at the end of the number it will search all
of the items that have those numbers you entered regardless of any additional
numbers or letters after

|
Ok thanks! Great tricks!
|
any day!
| | Though I'd guess that most people don't ask like I did, and just find
it too cumbersome to use...
|
quite possible

Use the minus sign: “-stickers”.
| | 2) When searching a part number, include in the results all parts that start
with those numbers, i.e. all variations of that mold. For example, 11439 only
brings up the solid color version of this part, instead of all the mixed-color

|
Use the asterisk: “3001*” will give you all the items with an ID starting with
“3001”.
It works for words in description too. It’s great for plurals: “clip*” gives
both “clip” & “clips”… doesn’t work for “tooth” / ”teeth” though
