I don't really see the point of advertising a sale daily then closing a shop
to limit the numbers of orders. So it is not a case of not going interested,
but not being able to see it.

They were closed for their 70% sale: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1268698
And yesterday's 80% 12 hour only sale (despite being told about it): https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1268962
And still closed for the new 80% limited time sale.
So maybe the discount will go even higher if they don't get any orders in

See the inventory note at the bottom of the inventory:
"Early copies of this minifigure would have had a solid stud head."
(This is a workaround as minifigure inventories cannot have alternate parts.)
And there is also a note on this entry regarding the color:
"The pattern color on this head varies from brown to dark red as can be seen
in the additional images."

Solid vs other studs is a mess, as they were handled badly in the past. Colours
may well be off too, as printing over other colours depends on the base colour.
If listing as part of a minifig, just note the stud type in your description.
|
Presumably it is this head:
And this minifigure:
Note the inventory page for that minifigure even states "Early copies of this
minifigure would have had a solid stud head." Minifigures cannot have alternative
parts, and so the solid stud version does not appear in any minifigures.

It depends what you are buying. If just minifigures, then a normal to larger
smart phone screen would be fine if there was a decent interface. Similarly,
if buying from an already set up wants list, a smaller screen is fine.

So...if someone switched to Onsite Paypal, it sounds like that's been shut
down to force users to sign up for Marketplace. If you have Instant Checkout,
I'm assuming the same applies. For Non-Broken Paypal, they probably shut
off the ability to add it to your store as an option if it's not already
there. But I just placed several orders last weekend, and all of them were offering
Actually-Works Paypal as a payment option. And of course, since that's what
I selected for all of them, all I had to do was log onto that site that didn't
grind to a halt after being hacked...twice, type in some payment info, and wait
for the shipments to arrive.

It's working fine for me. All I do is select standard "Paypal" as the payment
option (or empty my cart if it's not available), wait for the invoice to
come in, and then log in to Paypal to submit payment. Now, come late April,
it'll be jacked twelve ways from Sunday...

Hi there,
Fortunately, the quote system is working just fine. Even if you did not receive
an email, the quote notification was displayed on your My BL page, on the My
BL hover icon in the navigation bar, and a count of all pending quotes would
have shown when you hovered over the My Store icon as well.

Jac, I had a buyer submit a quote last week and it came through as a purchase
with an unknown shipping type. It is definitely not working just fine. Luckily
I knew it was a quote as they had messaged me before had asking what it cost
to ship to HK and I asked them to submit a quote. This was an experienced buyer,
not a newbie that clicked the wrong button.
BL has tons of bugs preventing people from checking out correctly. Either your
devs and/or support people are lying to you or they are unaware due to lack of
diligence/testing/troubleshooting.

I've had two quotes within the last two days and the quotes have been accepted
and the system has created blank invoices send to the customer multiple times.
I then have to send an invoice manually afterwards for them to pay.
It is most definitely not working fine.

A web application has multiple entry points (= pages), so it’s a bit more loose
and confusing than an application (which generally has only one main executable).
But frankly, starting from the database, the code, and actual use cases (just
asking users what they do and how they do it), you can reverse engineer and document
any system.
You just need someone with the proper skills.
From that point, YOU DON’T PATCH the mess, you rewrite it cleanly. (You might
have a team who patches the blurb while you redesign the system, but you don’t
make the new version from the previous one’s spaghetti code, especially not if
you’re still in the “what’s that stuff?” phase.)
Think about an old stone bridge, with a few houses haphazardly built on its top,
that you want to upgrade. You don’t replace every stone arch with a new steel
one one at a time (even though with computers, you can do that magically and
instantaneously). You build a brand new bridge, with brand new, well structured
houses, with all the modern stuff, a bit farther, and when it’s ready, you move
people and trafic to it, just before blowing up the old one.
People have trouble abandoning the old bridge’s stones / the old code. They
don’t understand the stones aren’t really important, it’s the bridge that is.
The knowledge, the processes, the database, all are important, not the code.
(Yes, I’ve done this a few times.)

I think I remembered a right comment from the admins of the time but my lack

Hi
I don't want to say Bricklink is a high tech online selling platform quite
the oposite
I don't want to say Bricklink is working flawless
Nothing is perfect in this world
You know this I know this.
Why you don't simply accept that here on Bricklink is exactly like in the
real world.
Stock loss? Never think about it? Every commercial company have a calculated
stock loss.
How big is your's?
You complain about a lost Quote...
What's about Bricklink going offline for a week because of a server problem?
What's about Brickling losing their database? Must have backup?
Maybe they lost their backup together with the actual database? In a fire?
There are so many possibility that something will go wrong that I have no time
to think about?
Just try to overcome?
Drink one beer?

Nectara

| Hey, I was not expecting that. I appreciate the time you've taken to reply
so thank you.
Regardless of the issues the buyer has now gone through with the order and thankfully
was very understanding of the issues. I'll check my emails later as I occasionally
do get them sent to spam folders.
I've adjusted what I can regarding shipping methods and for bigger more obscure
items I have started to set as manual invoice. I had a buyer who wanted to buy
some plates from me and couldn't even after I explained possible work around
that have worked for other customers.
Regarding your business decisions; not everything makes you money.
If you're having to declare you're staying up until 3am then maybe its
time you actually employ someone. That would be really great on the help desk
side of things as it's practically none existent.
If the code is very fragile then employ someone who knows what they're doing
and that can do it effectively. If a hospital needs a surgeon they're not
going to get a caretaker are they?
Based of what I've read, Lawrence over at BrickOwl listens to his community
I'd send info to the help desk but as I've been ignored before I've
lost hope in that area.
Regarding my used inventorying. I do not mean in the way of parting out new sets
etc. I mean if you're pulling used from a bulk lot. Instead of adding parts
one by one create an onsite way of adding in bulk batches like Brickstock does.
I know this won't make you money but it would be a great addition. Adding
used lots one by one is painful onsite.
I noticed you left out;
Most things you post are vague from every angle and you sit in the shadows
whilst
everyone is up in question. Regardless of if the feedback is good or bad you
still push out the garbage updates anyway. This is not acceptable
Can you please explain why the Bricklink team are so atrocious in explaining
and clarifying situations. Questions are rife on the forum yet I see no answers.
Thanks

I understand, grading would be difficult if it was on a mandated scale, but each
store should be able to differentiate between Used (Like New), Used (Fine) and
Used (Poor), etc. Vast majority of stores don't add comments so buyers have
no idea of the quality until it's actually received.

| People talk about leaving all the time. I didn't agree with a recent change
and because of that I reached out and found other selling platforms besides this
one. I never would have even known about the other sites if that change didn't
occur. That said, it's not really any of my business if things change here.
I can only sit back and enjoy or dislike the ride and if I do dislike it enough
then I'll go somewhere else because there ARE options. It's certainly
inconvenient for me to leave, but not impossible.
The only reason I'm saying that is because since you just got here (heck,
me too) I don't want you to think that the end is near and that everybody
is leaving. People will come and go and they'll do that with or without change.

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track
down and list a single piece.
|
If you're parting out a new set, yes; the same doesn't hold true for
adding Pick-A-Brick to a store or other parts bought as new for the purpose of
reselling.
It's extremely obvious that you would have to find individual parts in the
catalog here when adding used parts to a store. It's been that way from
the beginning. I just don't understand why OP was getting upset with that
method. What does he expect—a BL scanner to identify used parts?

Adding a part to your BO inventory is a 3-click, same-page process once you've
found the part. I get the feeling that BL has a far more convoluted method, but
I use BrickStock and Bricksync so I wouldn't know.
But I read the OP as meaning that all used bricks are treated the same; there's
no grading built in to the system. Everything is binary, either new or used.

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track
down and list a single piece. Then the next one is the same piece, but you have
to list it differently because you want to note differences in condition and
price them accordingly. The only reason I can figure that people can make any
money at all on Used is they can often get hugely undervalued lots on sites like
Craigslist or by hitting up garage sales. Or, you know, you can price it higher
than New and hope people will buy it without paying attention because "Used is
always less expensive".

Your ability to inventory used Lego is appalling. Why not work on this rather

you won't bother. This is not acceptable.
I sell on BrickOwl too and I've never had a single issue. You may be the

Good post.
Do not expect BL to answer. When Jennifer first announced that BL would answer
ALL questions and concerns before implementation. They never have. I just do
not understand whey they would say things that are not true.
I have been here for a very long time and have sold almost $500K in Lego, mostly
here and a lot on ebay and many from my posting on Lugnet. This site is not
what it used to be. At one time the site took the feelings and suggestions from
their members. They actually answered questions and more importantly, listened
to the members. That is no longer the case. Perhaps silence should be replaced
with give and take, and that just might help the site grow in a more positive
manner. It is really sad what has become of Dan's dream.

Just a question; how much money can a site make off of this paypal change?

Not wanting to put words in OP’s mouth - to me it sounds like he is not having
issues with set inventories, but more with uploading used parts from a bulk lot
(so to put used parts in your inventory). That process, if only using BL-provided
tools, is painful. If it weren’t for BrickStock, I am sure our shop would not
flourish like it does right now.

Hi
I don't want to say Bricklink is a high tech online selling platform quite
the oposite
I don't want to say Bricklink is working flawless
Nothing is perfect in this world
You know this I know this.
Why you don't simply accept that here on Bricklink is exactly like in the
real world.
Stock loss? Never think about it? Every commercial company have a calculated
stock loss.
How big is your's?
You complain about a lost Quote...
What's about Bricklink going offline for a week because of a server problem?
What's about Brickling losing their database? Must have backup?
Maybe they lost their backup together with the actual database? In a fire?
There are so many possibility that something will go wrong that I have no time
to think about?
Just try to overcome?
Drink one beer?

I've been on BO for 3 weeks and in that time over 50 stores have opened.
Bricklink has 100 fewer stores than in the summer last year (UK stores). Small
sample size, but a sign of things to come?

I just listed 25 vintage sets on BrickOwl yesterday. I have a few other small
lots there but haven't haven't had a sale yet even with with my 800 feedback
boost (not really surprising, I guess, owing to my dearth of inventory). My
difficulty is deciding if/when to synch my inventory between both platforms.
I know there is software that will do this, but I just haven't had the time
required to sit down and learn it.
BrickOwl currently only accepts BrickStore and BrickOwl formats for inventory
uploads. I think if Lawrence developed an upload template that would accept
a BrickLink file format, he might see a surge in new sellers.

(Just in case: You get Classic “By Shop” by clicking “Classic” then “By Shop”
on the menu bar in the WL page.)
It shows the list of stores ordered by the number of lots or items they have.
That’s exactly what you get on the (new) “Buy” page just after loading it (when
it works ).
What Classic doesn’t have:
1. no Auto-Select, no Easy-Buy,
2. no way to select items to look for, it’s whole WLs or nothing,
3. no way to quickly see exactly what items each store has without opening the
store,
4. no way to select a store / preselect items to buy (thus removing the items
from the list of items to look for and updating the list of stores),
5. and undoubtedly other things I don’t remember right now.
Well, at least, you still have a list of stores with items in your WL….

You don't have to click submit after just one. You can pick a new status
for several orders, and then do the one submit click. So not "change status"

In other words, take at least a few minutes to learn the basics. You can not
make it any easier if you don't bother to try to learn it. In the same amount
of time it took you to complain how difficult the forum is to navigate and to
say you will probably never use it again, if instead you took that time and used
it to hit a few buttons, tap a few links, etc, you would have learned that it
already IS EASY to use.

Okay, I get how we all love that nothing ever changes and that we love to keep
stuff the way it is but seriously, the guy is absolutely right!!!
And I am sure that this is the reason why there are about 100 people in this
forum when the site is used by thousands!
Even though you can click on a million buttons to make it look like you want
it to, it should look like that from the start and not with clicking links on
the bottom of a page every single time you want to read something.
The studio beta forum is what a normal forum should look like. It's been
invented... probably about 25 years ago!

All you have to do is set up a page with the setting you like and then save it
as a favorite up on your favorites bar and you wont have to keep clicking on
the options. Just do it once and all is well.
As far as changing the way it looks, I am all for that. I love the changes BL
has done so far. The only reason I kind of got on the guys case was because he
was complaining (with more of an attitude) about things that need to be changed
but was not even willing to see if the options he wanted already existed. He
complained even before he took just a couple of minutes to learn what options
existed.

Yes it is. Posts change colour when read.

Try it.

again.
