I see these listed all the time. Buyers are looking for these, it's not the
seller's fault if the only way these can be listed is under the general listing
with a note.


It is not the only way. There is always the possibility of a custom listing.
Just like a minifigure that is missing a part is not the minifigure, a set of
instruction books missing one or more is not the instructions. So maybe custom
listings are better in that case.

Hi Roxanne,

that´s a great idea. Please do so. I have some as well were books are missing
for whatever reason.
Unfortunatly, i won´t or can´t be a buyers of yours, for shipping reasons.
I don´t buy heavy items from overseas, unless not to get from anywhere nearby,
and only if absolutely necessary.

Good luck, and thank you for your service.

This is a great idea. It would also be much easier for buyers searching for only
1 book to find these as well.


  I have a bunch of used instruction books that are missing 1 or more of the books
in the set. I hate to list them and then note that "THIS IS ONLY FOR BOOK 2".
It messes with the pricing.

  Hello,

I usually color my comments because they are pointing to another small mold difference
or vintage of the same part that Bricklink does not differenciate.

The problem is that when I am preparing the order and reviewing the order screen,
the comment is not colored, and I happen to miss the mold difference

Is there a way to make it show comment colors?


Moreover, the readability of the comment is very messy on the order screen, as
you get the comment appended to the part name, without any separation.

Thank you for the replies.

Ignore the terrible photoshop skills. But just the values in the one screen just
seems logical.

1: But when doing a part out, why do we have to select NEW or USED each time.
Can I suggested you just need to enter the set one know. From there the part
out screen lists both on the same screen.

Because what you are parting out is either new or used. Doing both at the
same time is likely to lead to errors.

Also you can set the default for what you do most often.

I think the OP may be referring to the part out value screen. In that case: I'd
say logically it should be either all or nothing - if it's going to display
New and Used on one page, it should also display whole minifigures vs minifigure
parts, break sets in set yes vs no.

Besides, there's a little bug in the page where if you choose minifigure
parts, it considers the whole minifigures as "missing" items. I've reported
this and it was going to be fixed, but that must have been 5 years ago or so
by now.. but that's business as usual on Bricklink.

Everything is strongly scented now - lotions, candles, body washes, detergents.
Many people constantly wash their hands now with hand soaps because of covid
(scented of course).

Then there's all of the aromas floating around from when the package is dropped
off until it's delivered. I just got a non-lego package that faintly smelled
like skunk weed.

Why are new parts being washed in the first place. They are coming straight
out of a bag and into inventory. This would seem counterproductive. On the
flip side if parts are arriving with that much odor, I would run a guess that
someone is using maybe and oil diffuser or something like that that might
be causing some of the problem. Even so they would almost have to have it on
the parts directly to cause that much transfer over time.

I find it strange that you both immediately assumed the OP was referring to washing
new LEGO? There was nothing mentioned about that in the post.

There is the word "new" in front of "Lego parts" the first line.

Oh, wow. I feel... I actually read that three times without seeing the word new.
lol I need a nap. Sorry!!

Why would sellers be washing new LEGO parts?

Smokers?

Well, I think a lot of people are actually wearing perfume or use scented
soap and the smell just permeates their environment like cigarette smoke.
Also, I have received packages that reek of perfume from people whom I am certain
don't wear it. I guess the mail carrier, or the package sorter, or the contents
of a nearby package can have the same effect.
I personally can't stand the smell of tea tree oil but some people just insist
on using it everywhere.

I am sorry that you would bypass my store because I wash my used LEGO. There
are no scents on me.

2: When in Catalog view. There is enough white space to include the part out
value when also searching for sets.

This would save so many unnecessary searches.

Please and thanks.

Hi!

I would love to see the increase/decrease price by % or currency feature during
the part out to inventory process.
This function is already implemented in wishlist price settings.
It would be great to have it as an additional option in the first part out to
inventory form.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Andreas.

Hi

I dont know if this has been looked at or if it is possible to set up on here.
But has anyone looked at pay pal qr code payment as a method as I just noticed
the fees are a hell lot better than mirco and normal pay pal fees. This is only
available to bussiness accounts as far as I am aware of.

For down under (Australia)

Normal Transactions 2.60% + fixed fee ($0.30 cents)
QR Code Transactions – 10.01 AUD and above 0.90% + fixed fee ($0.10)
QR code Transactions – 10.00 AUD and below 1.40% + fixed fee ($0.10)
Mirco payments 5.00% + micropayments fixed fee ($0.05)

As you can see from the above the fees are way cheaper than both mirco and standard
transactions just food for thought.

You can download your Wantlists and share the file.
It's only not on that page.

I think that by "Share wanted list" the intention was to share it publicly in
the website, isn't it? Will this option be available?

Current issues: The "Buy All" wizard is not always optimal, so when I am looking
to add parts or minifigures, I want to use the same vendors, especially since
it's ordered by price. I have to have several tabs open to see with what
vendors I have open baskets in my cart and then browse through their oftentimes
massive stores to see if they have other items on my wishlist.

Suggestion: In a view in which vendors are compared (e.g., if I click on a set,
part or minifigure), add 2 icons for whether the vendor is in my basket already
and how many parts/minifigures this vendor is selling that are in my basket.

Next Page: 5 More | 10 More | 25 More | 50 More | 100 More
