Anyone have the data on what percentage of parts/colors/patterns available on
BrickLink is on the current PAB menu?
Also, I think the prices would become much higher if LEGO had to pay enough people
to ship every order as quickly and accurately as a good BL shop does.

In my experience, it's rare that PaB is actually cheaper - if it were I'd
definitely be buying parts there and selling them here.

Because that would directly impact their own sales. Myself and many others focus
solely on new sets and new set part outs, buying multiple copies of high dollar
sets. How many $200, $400, $600+ sets do regular consumers (or BL buyers without
a store) buy per year, and how many do small rinky dink stores like me - or
extremely large stores not like me - buy per month? I'd argue that an enthusiastic
3PS is worth a minimum - minimum - of 40 run of the mill consumers.
| Also, third-party stores would still be indispensable, because there are so many

Indispensable and profitable are two different things. Plus how many people
place an order for 50 lots of discontinued parts? Think of at least five of
unavailable parts you're trying to find and go look at the sales history
of it. At best it's current for sale average is probably a couple of bucks
and at least three of those probably have an outlier that's ~50% below the
average. From the sounds of it, you're going to buy from the cheapest store,
and they made "a coupl'a bucks". That's not running a business,
that's running a charity without the benefits of 501c status.

When taking over bricklink, LEGO claimed they wouldn't interfere with the
marketplace, implying they wouldn't compete with sellers. If they want to
compete with sellers, then many sellers will leave and move to the independent
marketplace.
They would also need to behave like other BL sellers. I'd leave them negative
feedback unless they improved their order turn around times.

Lego owns Bricklink, and Bricklink is strictly third-party sellers; the site
would die and Lego would lose money on their investment & whatnot
If you want to source parts from PAB and Bricklink, use BrickHunter, a Chrome
extension that lets you upload a wanted list & auto-selects parts from PAB and
shows what you would need to get from Bricklink if parts are unavailable or retired

Yes, BH is amazing, and I often use it. But it adds another layer of complexity
and another step in the process.

Ever order from PAB? Enjoy your bricks 2-3 months later.

since bricklink is specifically for 3rd party sellers, not lego themselves. if
lego came over to bricklink and started ramping up then most stores on bricklink
would have to close down as they cant compete with lego if they are on the same
site which would then just end up making bricklink a reskinned PAB.

since they make up a good chunk of Lego's revenue. 3rd party sellers buy
from lego and then do lots of work which if lego themselves did and paid employees
minimum wage they probably couldn't make it profitable so with the current

as there have been surveys from lego and bricklink trying to improve the lego-reseller
connection.

To a point but if lego started selling lots on bricklink then a good chunk of

have most of their stock not moving since lego takes that and then they probably
wouldn't bother with selling the few parts that lego doesn't sell as

The way I see it the very final option in the dropdown should be 'Received'
with no need for a 'Completed' option. The buyer essentially completes
their order by leaving feedback!
i.e they mark as received and then leave feedback once they are happy with their
order or if they are unhappy with their order they mark as received, message
seller for a resolution, wait for issue to be resolved(or not resolved) and then
leave appropriate feedback. By leaving feedback the buyer is finished with that
order and it is essentially complete

But who cares, the fact is there's no / not always relationship between feedback

Basically a buyer doesn't leave feedback until they consider the order completed

There is a reason sellers might want to set an order to complete.
If you want to delete an old shipping method, you cannot if there is an open

There's also NO reason to immediately delete a shipping method.
Simply disable it and forget it, delete it later on - it won't be shown in
your shop while disabled.
In short, there is still no reason a seller would set Completed an order

Sure there are work arounds to solve a problem. But if a seller wants to remove

We don't care.
The discussion is about: why a Seller would be able to set Completed.
Final argument being for me that this doesn't comply with the Completed status:

Sure there are work arounds to solve a problem. But if a seller wants to remove
a method, they cannot and are warned it is because there are open orders (even
if they are filed). Hence they can be tempted to complete ones that are already
months old.
There is also the issue that store wide minimum orders take into account any
disabled methods. So if you have multiple redundant methods that are disabled
you still have to edit every one of them if you want to raise the store minimum,
even though they cannot be used by a buyer. Of course, this is not the buyer's
fault (or care), just dodgy programming blocking changes.
It also seems strange that you cannot delete a shipping method while an order
is open, but you can change all the variable parameters in that method.

There is a reason sellers might want to set an order to complete.
If you want to delete an old shipping method, you cannot if there is an open
order using that method, even if it was delivered months ago and feedback left.
Obviously you can disable the shipping method, change the name if it conflicts
with another name, set the minimum order value for that shipping method to 9999
if it conflicts with a change in the store minimum order value, but all that
is a faff just because someone hasn't marked an order as complete.
|
Like you mentioned you can simply choose disable and it will be off and then
in 6-months you can delete it. Plus that way your guaranteed not to potentially
cause issues to the buyer

| I already found a way to add parts from an order to My Collection (using XML).
To avoid ordering the same part again, it would be helpful to see how many of
that part is already in my collection when building a Wanted List.
The "Have" box in the Wanted List is just valid for that list, and entered
one part by one, as far as I could see, so that doesn't help. I'm not
a seller, so I just want to use My Collection to track what I already have and
use it to build new Wanted lists.

If this was common buyer behaviour because a tool allows it, sellers would double
their prices and offer 50 % off on everything.
Some already do that type of thing, and advertise fake sales in the forum.

I think if we had it you would come to see it was useless. If you were choosing
between Walmart, Target, or TRU, it would be useful, but different shops on Bricklink
routinely list things 3-4 times as much as other stores and those tend to be
the ones running sales. You can’t get much of an idea where you will get the
lowest prices by sorting by sale %.

Voted no, because of the idea of supporting content creators. This would be abused
from both sides. The buyer has no idea if the seller sends the item. Similarly,
there is no eller protection as the buyer asks for it to be sent to a different
address to their payment address.
