What may be better for you is to be able to part out or sell individual builds
from a given set. This ability has been requested numerous times over the years
and I believe it is being considered.
For example, look at the assemblies from this set which have their own catalog
entries:

That would be awesome! Yesterday I spent some amount of time recreating the ship
from 6277 in Stud.io. It would be pretty neat if I could just skip this step
and buy the parts for it.

This has been suggested before.
The problem is that sets are not inventoried by booklet or bag but by part.
The workaround is to part put a set a set partial in a Wantlist by adjusting
parts to the quantities according the booklet.

That is not obvious to me, but might actually be a case in a different point

I am planning this coming year to codify a lot more of the catalog policies so people know in advance how to submit items, but there are so many cases that don't fit neatly into little square policy boxes, I don't know if we'll ever get to the place where somebody isn't surprised once in a while by a rejection.
Something to keep in mind, however - there are few admins but many contributors, and it takes effort on both sides to have good communication.

I feel that this post does not address the issue at hand.
Would a feedback section on rejected Catalog Submissions be considered as a part
of the improvement of communication and of the Catalog system?

I do some catalog work myself, especially the new sets/parts and a lot of the
replacement images. Jaclyn and Cheyne have auto approval, which they use from
time to time, but they do not approve other people's submissions.
Generally speaking, there is so much that gets approved and changed every day
that even with only one person it would be difficult to be completely consistent.
But we have the ability to change something again, or bring up an old issue,
so we hope that is sufficient to handle any areas of conflict.

messaging system has a lot of limitations as well. We have plans to upgrade that

Case in point, Re: formatting changes:
|
The specific example seems a little pedantic. If I were the catmin, the reason
I would reject it was because the difference seemed trivial and I didn't
want to encourage more like it.
I can remember a few catalog changes of mine that were rejected. They were more
precise weights for minifigs that were even grams. Again, it was pretty obvious
to me why the requests were rejected. They just didn't feel that something
that was close enough needed more precision. I was a little surprised, but I
shrugged it off and turned my efforts elsewhere.
I don't go looking at other people's pending requests, so I don't
know how it usually goes. Most of mine go through. I have occasionally had
a message asking for more information and I have occasionally seen questions
edited into the names of things. For example, I submitted a piece today and
therobo edited in the quesiton whether it was a certain piece already in the
catalog. It was. So I don't know what it is looking like. Are your requests
being quickly and summarily deleted or is it possible they are hanging for a
while with questions that you aren't seeing?
If the catmins don't want to give explanations, I'm not into forcing
it. Use the comments section to give your argument and if they reject it it
will be because they disagree with what you said in the comments, right?
|
I think that you misunderstood what happened. I submitted two changes for the
“AT-DP Pilot”: “Imperial Combat Driver (AT-DP Pilot)”, and “AT-DP Pilot (Imperial
Combat Driver)” - The former was rejected, while the latter was accepted.
My comments are generally sourcing information (quotes from Wookieepedia, for
example), so I am not sure how one could “disagree” with them. 😕

Actually, you're misrepresenting what he said just a little. He said (emphasis

I would be appreciative if therobo would clarify his views here, so that we do
not have to speculate upon/attempt to interpret them.
| | Rejected items are also visible in the logs, and just as with pending submissions four or five words could be added to indicate why they were rejected. . . the time involved would be minimal.
|
Agreed. 👍
| | On the other hand, we currently have open discussions on every inventory
change request - rather, there is a forum post generated and discussion is possible.
Not all of them generate discussion because the information is straightforward
or documented or accepted by consensus. When a request is not approved, the reasoning
is usually spelled out in the thread.
If it's good for inventories, it's good for parts. It would educate the
community and it would not necessarily mean every new entry is debated or every
rejection challenged.
|
I had forgotten about the discussions on inventories - that makes the argument
for feedback on Catalog Submissions even stronger. Thank you. 👍
| | I do not base my opinion on a single post in a single thread. Therobo has made
his position pretty clear for a long time in many different ways. He doesn't
want to have to give anyone a reason for rejecting a submission, publicly or
otherwise. I think there are many users who feel the admins should have more
accountability.
|
Again, if therobo would simply state his views (and the rationale behind them)
in this thread, much of this conflict could potentially be resolved. 😕

The Catalog used to be on a separate Tab. Would be nice to have it back.

+100
The catalog is not just a shopping tool. It is a unique collection of information
that can be used without the intent of ordering parts. I strongly believe that
the catalog brings people to the site, and that many of those people become buyers
later.
Once people have found the information they are looking for in the catalog, then
you can offer them lots of buying opportunities  Present the information first,
and make sales later.

I expect it usually falls into the same category as my minifig weights that got
rejected. They feel that the change is not important and what is currently there
is sufficient.

This is incorrect. Rejected items are also visible in the logs, and just as with
pending submissions four or five words could be added to indicate why they were
rejected. No discussion is necessary. Therobo apparently opposes doing this,
even though the time involved would be minimal. There have been 28 rejections
in the past 30 days. A five-word note in each rejected submission log would require
140 words. At an average typing rate of 40 words per minute, that's 3.5 minutes
per month. We don't have the resources?
On the other hand, we currently have open discussions on every inventory
change request - rather, there is a forum post generated and discussion is possible.

My idea was to have a form attached to each change (similar to the “Note for
Catalog Admins” section), wherein an Admin can write why a certain change was
not approved - not to have an Admin send a message (or other form of private
communication) for every rejected submission. Additionally, I do want
the reasons for rejecting a given Subnission to be public (the logs already are),
so that others can improve their Changes (since there seem to be some
little-known rules regarding Catalog Submissions - See my above photos for one
example). As such, therobo is opposed to my idea. I apologise for any confusion
caused, due to this not being conveyed properly in my previous post.

This has been suggested before. I think the message below from a catalog admin
explains his opinion on the matter. I think it is unfortunate that someone in
this role has such a dismissive attitude toward community members trying to make
improvements in good faith. He apparently sees his role differently than I do.
Being a volunteer does not absolve a person from accountability to the community.
I have hope that the new organizational moves at Bricklink will bring improvements
in this area in particular.

Hi there
Not sure what you mean with this. If you just click on shop the price guide sub
menu is on the top right of that dropdown. Could you post a view of what you
mean.

Good luck.
I submitted an image for a part who's light grey picture was missing. I asked
why it was rejected so I knew what to do right next time (not new to this so
was a bit confused) but no response.
No more time wasted from me - just no more contributions.

Customizeable columns in the Wanted List view would be awesome. To select what
detail, how many columns, how it's sorted would make this tool really flexible.

| When adding an item to my wanted list, I typically want it in 5 colors. As it
is, I have to add the item in each color or select 'no-applicable' which
means when I check a store I get a rainbow of the item which slows my search.
When I add an item it should just let me select boxes for the desired colors.

A seller is allowed to change their prices whenever they like before an order
is placed. You contacting them probably alerted them to see that their price
was rather low. Is what they did ethical? No. Is it allowed? Yes.
Their new price is still quite cheap anyway - they are still cheapest in Europe
for new by about 5 Euro. You can now decide to buy from them or buy from someone
else.

| Dear Admins,
I want to share one of my first experiences as a new bricklink member I had to
suffer. There is no response on my complaint (there is no even proper category
for this) so I'm desperate to seek justice.
I was searching for set 60051 and I found a great deal as you can see in the
first image.
I wanted to buy one, but seeing the price I decided to go for both. Unfortunately
shop size policy stopped me from ordering so I contacted the seller (I've
seen replicas on eBay, and that time I was not sure if they can be sold here):

Hello,
I am interested in your High Speed trains. They are real LEGO, aren't they?
If
so, I am thinking to buy both of them, but the shipping cost can be an issue.
I wonder how much it is to 4400 Nyiregyhaza Hungary? I also wonder if it would
be better to take the sealed small packages our ofthe paper box and re-package
them? I don't need the box nor the instructions, if you find it reasonable
I'm
more than happy to leave them with you in exchange for this favor.
What do you say?
Cheers:

Of course
On the right hand side of the My Inventory page there are several options to
choose from, but one that is missing is colour. When I want to see how many dark
green 1 x 2 bricks I have I have to put in 3004 and look at hundreds to find
the dark green, rather than just choosing dark green 3004. You can do this if
you use the PCC but who know those off the top of their head.

You can get that info from the catalog page, make sure the color info tab is

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3004&idColor=10#T=C&C=10
|
Thanks but we already knew that and it isn't what we want. When you search
your inventory you should be able to do the same as you can when you are within
your store. Choose a part no and a condition and a colour. The only way this
can be done currently is via a PCC and a condition filter.
Hope I have now made that clearer.
|
The issue is that although the search option is labeled "Catalog Name and Number"
it is actually Catalog Name OR Number." BL has the part numbers and part names
in separate fields and it does not search them both at once. If you include a
part number in the search terms it defaults to a part number search and ignores
the other keywords.
So if you search for [3004 dark green] it only searcesh on 3004 and ignores the
"dark green," so it shows you all your 3004s.
To search by color and part, do not search on the part number but use
the part name. Try searching your inventory with "any part of field" selected
for [dark green 1x2 brick] and you should get the results you expect.
|
That does work your Goatleg knowledge of how it works is useful. Having said
that not many people would be aware of that and it still would be easier to do
it the way we suggested.
At the end of the day it is not a significant programming change to alter the
query by form using colour as a 'where' statement, especially if there
are separate fields in the database.
|
Well the color information is actually in two places - in the color field as
well as in the name - and like the part number search, it will default to searching
the color field if you search only for a color name. Try an inventory keyword
search for [dark green] and you'll get nothing, because it tries to do a
color search but the color field is not included in the query.
I assume the somewhat crippled nature of the search function was meant to reduce
the load and improve response time on Bricklink's original servers. Searching
three fields at once was maybe more than it could handle in a reasonable amount
of time. Capabilities have advanced considerably.

Yes things have moved on and now with the announcement from Brickworld it looks
like it doesn't matter anyway cause we will be another Amazon if the CEO
has his way. If we wanted to sell on Amazon we would open on Amazon. (It is a
hopeless site anyway with excessive fees, the worst customer service on record
and despite his billions prone to dramatic and total flop decisions). He got
some right after the disastorous start which made him very wealthy - now he dabbles,
pays his employees peanuts and has 10 recent flops with the tangent decisions
he has made - but at least he can afford them.
