  This would be a good idea from both Buyer and Seller standpoints. Buyer can order,
know what he has to pay in advance and make payment immediately. Seller can do
away with majority of cancellations due to shipping costs too high, "oops, didn't
mean to order that" and other cancellations. Not to mention this offers the potential
to get paid a lot sooner. Only problem would be that there needs to be not only
weight taken into account, but physical dimension of parts too.

Be interesting to see how this all turns out.


I like the button option also but you are correct, how is it going to account
for boxes and packing. Since I primarily sell sets some boxes and packing can
account for 1-2 pounds of extra weight. And I have had more than quite a few
orders that were large and had to be split into two sometimes three boxes for
mailing. Great idea and would love to see it in Bricklink 2.0 but it would need
some serious testing, maybe some parts sellers and set sellers could be the participants.

  Some stores advertise that bricks are kep in a "smoke-free" environment.
I think this is a big plus for those sellers. But, the information is not readily
available (As near as I can tell, you need to check each store's terms).
It would be great if this were required field for sellers, and even better if
you could filter search results to only smoke-free sellers.
Pet-free would be another good search-filter.

They only problem with that is that while they me smoke free from your home,
you have no idea where they came from before that(used items) so if you do a
quick flip on parts or sets you kind of get into a gray area. Again your home
maybe smoke free and pet free but the recipient of those items may challenge
you if they have allergies and flare ups due to that. I specifically don't state
that just to keep that point off the table if it arises, but again I have never
had anybody ask me that when ordering either.
