Comments from Submitter:
1. On the last page of the instructions, three light gray 1x2 bricks (3004) are added to the picture. The image on the box (in the center of the frame) shows they are for dropping down the ladder slide. Currently BL inventory shows 12. Should be 15.
2. In building up the set, there are only two brown 1x2 plates (3023) used. One more for the horse equals three. Peeron inventory also shows only three. Currently BL inventory shows four.

Very good eye, sir. I have confirmed the above changes with the online instructions
at Brickfactory:
http://www.brickfactory.info/index.html
I just want to check with 1977_mauro first before approving the changes, since
he was the last to adjust the inventory and he typically works from sealed sources.
This may be a case of multiple versions of instructions. Thanks for bringing
this to our attention.

| | Hi all,
I've had this idea some time ago and didn't see a reason why it shouldn't be
possible: Why isn't Bricklink opening an 2nd PayPal Account in Europe, to let
the sellers pay directly in Euro and to save losses
a) due to the bad paypal conversion rate and
b) due to higher paypal taxes for international transactions
As a lot of sales is done in Euro it would be a very good opportunity to let
the european sellers pay their fees in Euro.
Of course I'm aware of the fact that BrickLink needs his money in USD, but i
suppose it would me more rentable to let the sellers pay in Euro and to exchange
the money by the bank exchange rates.
As a seller I got to handle this problem by letting people pay in USD, so I can
use that money for BrickLink fee payments. Nevertheless I suppose that other
sellers from EU accepting just Euro have to pay the bad conversion rate paypal
gives them (if not paying directly by credit card in USD, of course). But in
fact this suggestion should be of use especially for BrickLink itself.
I'd like to know what you are thinking about this.
Best regards
Andrei

Hi Andrei,
the idea should be considered. The investment mother company of BrickLink has
operations in Belgium so they could then also offer to pay BL fees for EU members
in Euro with SEPA.
This saves EU members to convert into USD and saves 5 % paypal Fee.
kind regards,
Stefan

Sold out doesn't always mean retired. It might be sold out in one market,

I think you misunderstand my suggestion. I am NOT asking for automated notices.
My suggestion is an alternative to the automated notices people have been requesting
for years.
Under my suggestion, the system does not have to "remember" anything. It is not
automated. Instead, the seller goes to this new page and manually enters the
numbers of those sets he has recently parted out(1). The system will then tell
him which of those sets had their inventories changed and how. This information
is already in the system. This page just makes it easy for the seller to get
that information at one time for all sets they ask about. He does not have to
separately check each set or manually sift through hundreds of approved inventory
change requests.
As an additional step the seller could then ask the system to show if any of
those changes affect the seller's current inventory. During this second step,
the system would compare the listed changes (if any) with the seller's inventory
and tell the seller if he should have more or less of something in stock.
Thor
(1) If you want to put a time limit on this inquiry, OK. But I don't see
why the system could not tell you if a specific set had its inventory changed
even from two years ago. When entering the set numbers he wants the system to
check, perhaps there could be a drop down box asking the time period for the
system to check. E.g. Past 90 days, since the last check by this seller, or since
the set was first inventoried and added to the catalog.

What would you base the decision on? All I can think of, without placing another
order with them, is feedback.
Presumably the seller had reasonable or decent feedback when you least favorited
them (otherwise why did you buy from them?) so why would decent feedback change
your mind six months later?
|
An easy example:
Maybe you least favourited them for having some kind of fees you don't agree
with. (PP fees, lot limits/fees, whatever.) In that case you might want to take
a look at their store sometime later whether they have changed their policy.
People least favourite stores / stoplist folks not only for having a bad experience
with a transaction but for other non-business reasons, too. Like because of forum
posts.

| Not only a selling mistake leads to least favourite store.
I can remember that I have mentioned that it does not make sense that states
get their customs fees from buyers who buy a very seldom LEGO set from outside
their country because it is not available in their country. They haven't another
option to get it so it is not right for me (but it is right for regular sets
which are avilable in all countries).
After this one user has listed me as least favourite store... 
And perhaps this user thinks now the same as me after he has paid a lot of custom
fees for a very seldom set...

I don't know how it works for others, but if a seller makes a mistake, I give
them a chance to rectify it. That is their second chance. If they rectify it,
then it is fine and I'd buy from them again. If they refuse to act when given
a second chance, then I see little point in giving them another chance for my
custom later. They've already had a chance to rectify a problem and refused.

Restaurant is a great example- a year later could be a different experience.
You might at least be tempted to stop and look if you drove by, right?
But with a store on your Least Fav list, you'll never even see it.
This makes up for that.

No. Unless I saw an "under new management", I wouldn't bother. There are a lot
of restaurants near me, and there is no point going back to a bad one. That is
similar to BL, there are a lot of stores and if someone is so bad to mark them
as least favorite on one occasion, I wouldn't go back.
But if anyone wants to give a second chance, it is of course possible. Just date
the least favorite comment and manually remove the block later.

I don't really see the point. If I don't want to buy from somewhere/someone,
I won't buy from them. Having to confirm that I still don't want to buy from
someone would be annoying. There is the manual solution that you check your (least)
favorites list regularly and choose to give a store a second chance if you want.
You'd probably also want to do the same for sellers lists of unwanted customers.
If you have previously banned someone from your store would you really want to
have to confirm they are still banned some time later?
