Again, can Bricklink please do something about the way the mininum average lot
value is explained to the buyer? I am getting many messages about it and find
myself explaining the same thing over and over. Please improve these descriptions
in the interface. Maybe by including an example, and by changing the terminology.
As is evident from many forum posts as well, many fresh buyers don't even
know what a "lot" is supposed to mean, let alone they will understand the concept
of minimum average lot value.

Walk into store to buy bread, get to till, no you MUST buy 1 kilogram of fillet
steak as well so that the average price of the goods you buy is more than what
the bread costs, which is the only thing you need. Leave bread, walk out.

It does not matter how good you explain it, buyers do not understand how you
have an item on the shelf you are not willing to sell for the price you are advertising
it at, or for which you need a degree in mathematics to work out how many you
must put in a cart before you can, well, pay for it at checkout.

I would rather BL take this away altogether. You already have minimum buys to
avoid small orders, you can already set a minimum lot quantity for purchase.
Why give an impression that an item can ship by itself, when you as the seller
is not willing to sell it like that? It confuses buyers when sellers willfully
shows prices for goods they are not willing to sell at.

Rather suggest, if sellers really want to use this, that the quantities the buyer
wants cannot be added to the cart unless the minimum average is met automatically.
That way the cart is managed for the buyer and nobody has to know the why and
the wherefores of why an item cannot be bought for the price it is listed at.

Are you looking forward to it, next month?

Found this photo looking up what this year is projected to be like

I'm not so sure it will be colorful in RI this year. We, like the west coast,
have been classified as Extreme Drought conditions. So I think it will be an
early leaf drop with lots of browning. It is downright crunchy here - I gave

Marketplaces should be designed to minimize transaction costs. Depending upon
the nature of what is being sold, different marketplace structures accomplish
this. (Note: the casual economist might not realize that transactions BELOW
the highest price are a type of transaction cost.)

Auctions work best where the market is thin and the true market clearing price
is difficult for a seller to intuit. There is no need to auction bulk white
bricks. There is an absolute need to auction a store display from the 70's.

I would argue that most Buyers of hard-to-find or unusual items are already visiting
Bricklink regularly. Public ignorance of Bricklink may cause inexperienced sellers
to list on other sites, but Bricklink would immediately become the premier auctioneer.
Once that happens, Buyers will be able to spend less time searching.

And Bricklink might make a few extra dollars.

A quick note on the argument against this suggestion: Auctions required more
administrative time than the (much smaller) site could devote. FleaBay's
fees are much higher than Bricklink's. I would not be surprised if the fees
for auctions needed to be higher. That is also a transaction cost, but Sellers
who felt it was too high could always just list the item the same way that they
do today.

I voted "Yes" when I saw this. Turns out, I was just repeating my actions from
the distant past.

From what I can recall, the auction system discontinued due to a huge added administrative
burden. It was popular and had a lot of potential. Eric should consider hiring
a small team to restore, develop, and maintain the system. If necessary, there
could be higher fees, or tiered fees, in the auction format to make the concept
worthwhile. I think the BrickLink community was fairly unanimous it its disappointment
over losing the feature, so putting it to a vote won't prove much, just reiterate
what is already known.

I miss the auctions too ... although I do recall the reason for their being discountinued
as lacking support and following Flea-bay's lead in going to fixed price listings
... can't remember if it was Dan stating his rationale or not ... as a man of
mystery he didn't often say why he did things the way he did

True, a major part of the reason he discontinued it was its *lack* of
popularity. The relatively little use the feature got didn't justify the resources
allocated to it.

Hahaha and 111 months later ...

I don't know about pouring soap directly on unsubmerged parts. I had bad
results with that in the past. It leaves a film on the parts that is pretty difficult
to remove unless you scrub it off. I like to use a lot more water and dissolve
the soap before dropping the parts in the bin.

As now you can know how many items and lots you have with a certain remark.

I think it would be super useful also to know the total value and mycost of all

For now I have to download the inventory in excel/calc filter by remark and make
a sum function.
That's a lot of time.

Just because a sticker sheet is "otherwise mint" doesn't mean it should be

if it is missing a sticker.

There was no decision, btw. This has always been the rule, but we're finally
getting responsive enough with the admin team to start enforcing it.

so why not simply change the listing to used instead of deleting and leaving
a notice ? ...

That's an excellent question. I think it mostly has to do with how the system
is currently set up, as we don't have that option when handling these requests.

But it also might be that some sellers do not like the idea of admin tampering
with their inventory and making choices for them. We have had one person mention
that they don't want to list them as Used, because they are concerned that
a "used sticker sheet" carries some negative overtones they wouldn't want
on display in their store.

That way the seller can change the listing to comply with the rules (instead
of having to enter everything again).

The e-mail does not give the full listing details, so it is not always clear
what is wrong with the listed item. Also the reason given is not clear.

I just recieved an e-mail stating that a few stickers I listed are deleted.
Reason given: "Item is incorrectly defined as New/Used or Complete/Incomplete/Sealed"
It concerns a few incomplete sticker sheets. I have more incomplete sheets listed
and they are not deleted or mentioned in the e-mail.

Is it wrong to list incomplete sticker sheets as 'new' (with a picture
of the actual sheet and clearly stated in the comments that it is incomplete)?
The stickers still on the sheet are new (never used).
Just to be save I changed the remaining incomplete sticker sheets to 'used'.
And I will re-list the deleted items as 'used'. Hopefully I can still
fing the pictures of the deleted items.

Sticker sheets missing stickers must be listed as Used.

Why can't partial sheets be sold as new, but indicating incomplete? After
all, it happens a lot with minifigures, even though parts are missing and there
is no formal incomplete setting.

totally agree!!. I just got a sticker sheet removed that is a rare large one
from idea book 250....meaning long ago. It was missing one small sticker. The
rest was mint. This to me is New/Incomplete which is how I listed it. It for
sure is not used. Used brings up images of wrinkled, cut, stickers taken off
and put back on the sheet. Stickers missing one sticker or more is not used.
It is incomplete. Lately stickers coming out of new boxes are wrinkled or have
a sticker stuck to the instruction book. These were still considered new but
incomplete.
This was a bad decision.

Connie

so why not simply change the listing to used instead of deleting and leaving

Who knows if something is ever implemented at some point, perhaps a third type

upgrade your current buyer account to seller. I'd venture a guess that there
are a good amount of seller account holders that have never made a sale, and

Or should I move to a less inconvenient timezone? Would that be easier for you?

I find it hit when I am doing my mailing as well (after work and kids are in

in the browser, it usually goes to where you were and can then continue. For
instance, when adding inventory and you click th last button and it goes to the
maintenance page, if you go back then click the add to inventory button, it adds
the items.

That is highly variable. If the recipient is using POP3, then I agree that there

some protection.

Perhaps a PGP encrypted orders download, as an alternative to email distribution
? The existing email layout has not substantially changed since 2000 (when I
was on 56K modems). There should still be a minimal email notification, but how
much information is present might be a starting point.

have turned out to be erroneous assumptions. Can you flesh this out?

You can add anything you perceive to be a bug. We'd rather have some extra
reports than miss something we need to correct.

I agree and will do this. I spend a lot of time fishing around for reports of
problems in the Forum, and it's one of the critical functions of the Forum
to be a resource for this information.

Please reset the variable colour on the part inventory page to an N/A image.
Having Yellow as the variable colour is confusing.

Since this is the way the site functions by design, I've changed your request
