  Bought this lot under ´dark grey’ but looks like dark bluish grey
Don’t have it yet, just want to be sure i ordered the DBG one
Thoughts?

Those big plates with the big round hole in them only comes in dark bluish gray,
so I'd say the majority of this lot is dark bluish gray.

Not very easy to say without a reference but there’s a plate that looks more
olivey on the upper left, so I’d say most of it is DBG but there’s DG in there
too.

Hi there,

Can someone please enter the correct weight of instruction booklet 6624 Delivery
Van. Due to Bricklink catalog the weight of this booklet is 55 grams, but it
should be 3 grams.

Thank you.

Another issue might be sticker sheets that come with gear sometimes have the
same numbers on different sheets. I guess these can have A's and B's
added if needed.

Thank you

Why don't you put all items into a stockroom.
This way the inventory is still there with the prices and you can just go in
and change the quantity and then move it back into a store item.

If you still want to delete your inventory, the location to do this is in the
same place.

On your inventory page
https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp

Click on the category box.

Then click on "Change availability status" radio button and then click on the
"to Stockroom Item" button.
(If you do want to delete your entire inventory, there is a delete items button
as well)

Make sure to click on the "submit changes" button on the bottom of the page.

Great idea. Starbeanie is THE sticker authority.

the darktan hair is different in about half of the sets i parted,

new partnumber that has to be added is, 25972 instead of 62810


tried changing it in the inventory (no luck since its a minifig entry) so cannot
use the inventory id of the part.

tried the minifig, but that can't have alternate parts,


why does this have to be so hard?
trying to add to the catalog seems to be a 1 time thing for me now, since it's
already taking me 30 minutes to do this, and nothing has happened,

Minifigures can't have alternate parts. So an alternate minifigure needs
to be added to the catalog. That new minifigure can then be added as an alternate
to the set inventory.

I'll state the obvious: put the color in the description field, not the color
field.
Clear carrier
White carrier
Silver carrier
etc.

Only if you sort by colour first.
I guess most people don’t change the default sorting but it’s nonetheless a welcome
option.

Just for scale, and I probably should have included this in my original message,
here are the duplicate listings (not including NA/Int):

Sheet appears in 2 sets: 95 instances of occurrence
3 sets: 21
4 sets: 5
5 sets: 2
6 sets: 6
8 sets: 2
10 sets: 1
11 sets: 1
12 sets: 1
13 sets: 1

If they were as suggested, not a part any longer, that would not be an issue.
A dedicated section like instructions or sets... sticker sheets?

Or is this messing with the database and too much to accomplish?

If the only difference with Intl/NA is the sheet number, then combine them. If
there is a difference, keep them separate.

I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear yours - especially those of you who've
given this some thought over the past decade or so that some of us have wanted
it.

Sticker sheets are handled quite consistently at the present moment. How can
we retain that consistency while eliminating duplicate entries with the least
amount of disruption?

As a side note, how do you feel about the NA/International duplicate entries?
These are the same sticker sheets, but have different item numbers, differently-sized
paper backing, and in some cases a slightly different finish (matte vs. glossy).
I don't want to get too distracted with this particular side discussion,
but do we need to maintain separate catalog entries for these sheets? Do you
want us to?

Looking forward to hearing some discussion and seeing some ideas other than my
own to get these duplicate entries handled.

I'm sure many here know, but for those that don't, Bret has specialized
in Lego sticker sales in the past, and has more knowledge on the topic than most.
A voice to listen to in this.

Seller too. The going price for the same sticker might be higher on a different
listing and you might not even know.

Yes, true. It also increases the number of people looking for the one you list
as, although of course also increases the number of competitor sheets being sold.
