This is exactly why I just cancel the order and never file NPB. It just takes
two long. 2 weeks is insane. It shouldn't take a week to pay. It shouldn't
take more than a few days to pay, if you don't have the money don't order
stuff, pretty simple. I know a lot of buyers are getting let off the hook by
this but I don't have the time or patience and I don't want my inventory
constantly tied up for a fortnight. I just cancel the order ban the buyer and
move on.

Once again a constant thread and everyone agrees with it except Bricklink for
some strange reason. Why should we have to let our inventory be tied up for two
weeks or longer when someone isn't going to pay for their order.
Bring the business side of the site into the 21st century, please - IC doesn't
work for all and for those that do not use it this is a real pain and totally
unnecessary.

And while we are at it, as a buyer, how come an NRS can tie up my buying money
for three weeks!? If a seller is not interested in selling, can I not please
just cancel the order myself after 3 days and go somewhere else? This is the
one part of Bricklink I have always found very unfair to buyers.

As a buyer you can file a paypal claim or a chargeback with your bank. Sellers
have no options except the npb system

| Hello,
sorry for my late reply.
In Inventories Requests, neoleg writes:
| I own the entire collection for Pirates I up until 1991 and I got them right
when they came out (all new from sealed boxes). All treasure chests are there
and none of them is the A-type, all are the old B-Type (including set 6260 from
1989).
|
| So I guess there really must be alternates for all of these sets.
|
All other sets from 1989-1991 already have 4738b in their inventories. 6273 is
the first set which has 4738a as regular part. But thanks to your request, we
now know that some (most likely the very early) copies of 6273 still came with
4738b. So you can submit a new request:
- Add 4738b as regular item
- Move 4738a to alternate
- Add the next unused Match ID to both entries
If you have time and want to help a little bit more, it would be great if you
could check your pirates sets for undetermined parts or other part variants.
For example, the boat mast parts in 6274 or the palm trunks in a few sets are
still undetermined.
| The picture on the box also shows the B-type (see attachment).
|
Box photos are usually not a good source for information about part variants.
They are produced weeks or months before set production starts and may show variants
which are never included in any copy of the set.

Jonas

OK then in return I propose that we buyers can initiate and complete NRS and
NSS after proportionally shorter time. If sellers want to give us buyers less
time to make the payment, then they should also have less time to issue invoices
and ship. Something for something. As a side note, I would like to mention that
in Europe many payments are still made by conventional bank transfer, which may
take few days to complete (and will only be processed on business days).
Final comment: Sellers that want to push for high-speed payment should accept
the fact that for 99% of buyers this is a hobby whereas for a considerable fraction
of sellers it is a full- or part-time business. We buyers typically have a normal
job and need to find the time to do things related to BL.

14 days is the basic level of customer service. And if nothing is defined in
the terms, the legal term is even 30 days.
14 days is also the legal amount of time a buyer has to change their mind about
an order and return it. It wouldn't make much sense to me to on the one hand
force a buyer to pay quicker than 14 days when after that they still have a couple
of days they can get their money back.

I don't know about other countries but over here 14 days is a widely accepted
standard term for invoices to be paid. Sometimes it's longer, but it's
never less than 14 days. I wouldn't find it professional if a company gave
me an invoice that had to be paid in less than 14 days.
Also, inventory moves slowly and parts typically take over a year to sell. I
don't see how a few extra days for a fraction of the inventory are so important.
Bricklink downtime should be a way bigger concern.

| Have you taken a look at the Brick Seller store management online app?
It has some nice part out features. It will even recommend a storage location
(in the remarks field) for items you already have in your inventory.
You can find a link to it on the BrickLink Links page here: https://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID=9

You mean like when I go to Amazon and the products I want to buy are for Prime
members only. Not the sale price, mind you, the actual item. If you aren't

Looks like the sticker is applied upside down on the image of 3010pb274.
Stickers are also wrong on 44225pb001a and 44225pb001b. Stickers should be switched

It also looks like technic half pins were left in the 44225 in both images.

I see that new images have been added to these part with stickers applied correctly.
I have accepted these request now that the images are correct.

Hi Paul,
No I didn't forget. There are so many inv. changes, catalog changes, adding
items,...that I have plans to submit, take photos, upload them to my PC, and
then, upload them on BL. The only way I can handle all these is to do them step
by step, as my time allows me.
This NIB copy that I purchased should be from 1988 since the box is the first
version (1986-8) and the straight conducting rails don't have holes and have
reinforcements under their notches (1988-90).
I have never seen light gray hinges with solid stud with this set. I even have
one used copy that I bought from the first owner and was an early release too.
The (light gray) hinges with hollow studs were produced since very early 1985
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=235359
So I think we should remove them from this set. If we find a reliable source
that they were used for this set, then they should come back, but I doubt.
The length of the wire in this set
is 76cm.
|
Sorry it took me a while to get back to this request. My own set was in a location
that was a bit inconvenient to reach. I was planning to reorganize a bit here
so was planning to use that opportunity to check my set. But it took longer than
I expected to finally get around to that.
I can confirm that my set has the 3002old and 3003old. Also the 3242c and 4081b.
I had already added 4081b in blue as alternate long ago. I guess at that time
I forgot to add it in red because someone else added it later. But my set has
4081b in both colors.
For the solid stud hinges it seems very likely that they never came in this set.
The only other sets with them in light gray are from 1983 and none of the sets
from 1985 have them in their inventories so it seems unlikely that they would
suddenly show up again in 1986. So I think they can be removed.

Yes, this has been suggested several times over the years and it would definitely
have been a useful feature. Also (maybe especially?) for me from a seller's
perspective, because I feel uncomfortable when I've asked the buyer a question
and I am not sure if they are waiting for their order or if they are aware that
I am asking a question first.
I'd call it "awaiting response". Maybe a dual one to make it clear who's
the one who should be responding But I think just one should've worked
too. Could be connected to the green dot notification in the upper right corner,
to the party who's supposed to respond.
Not assuming Bricklink will change anything, but perhaps we'll see it in
some future under a different management or something like that.

invoiced
payment pending

Those mostly already exist in the interface - invoiced by the invoice icon, payment
pending by the grand total in regular letters, payment initiated by the grand
total in bold letters (but it's a bit cryptic.. interface could've been
better..).

For something so specific, why not use the order notes and leave it as "received"?

Based on instructions, set images and image of the stickersheet I believe that
the wrong sticker is applied on [p=6091pb017]
This is the same sticker that is also on [p=3069bpb085]
Looking at the sticker sheet it is the second sticker from the
left in the top row. The correct sticker should be the one all the way to the
right on the top row and that sticker also partially goes on a black 1x1 plate.
So a stickered assembly should be added to the catalog for that sticker.

After checking the instructions a say it going on to the 1x3 plate to.
So a 3 way sticker assemble is needed here.

Hi Teup
Never heard of Ideal - is that Dutch only? Irrespective of that the business
model of xp does not suit our store and we wouldn't adopt it whatever happens.
We are not into selling large one-off sets at bargain prices - ours is a part
shop from top to bottom. Our orders average several hundred items and over 50
lots - that isn't going to be bought by a google search result which is what
we believe BL are trying to bring about. Instant checkout doesn't' work
for our store either and with over 40,000 items without dimensions in the catalogue
it is fair to say, probably never will - it is not designed well around shipping
methods and was not built to be adaptable (zip code pricing in the USA - The
largest market on BL), volume and weight based in the UK and most of Europe.
We have 14 different box sizes 3 large letters, and 11 small parcels, we never
ship a medium parcel as that is too costly so we are using multiple small parcels
to deal with weights over 2Kg and yes I know this could be set up but what a
hassle a different delivery method for each box type (each box has a different
tare).
We also have no concept of Bricklink dealing with our funds by way of Marketplace.
Far too many things against it for us to even consider it,((we know they have
claimed they are not into that, but who knows what might happen if we all give
them the right to do that)). but then it might suit some - that will only be
found out as and when they launch it, as unfortunately no communications is the
norm for the site - so no one will know what it is about til they launch it and
based on previous launches it will be some time before it would be 'bug free'
so to speak.
IC, in our view, needed to be regionalised and much more flexible in its design.
It works for some and that is great, and not for others, which is a shame, but
that is how they have done it. No talking, no discussion, no customer agreement,
here it is - if you don't like it tough, - that is what you are getting.
And the funny thing is BO launched with it and it is much smoother over there
and far fewer complaints about missing bits.
I can say without reservation that we will not be adopting xp at any time.
|
I see, I think all in all it's a fair bottom line that this is just a plan
that was cooked up at someone's desk who just figured this would be kinda
cool - ignoring the massive wealth of knowledge, needs, suggestions, etc etc
that the community can offer, if you are looking for inspiration of what direction
to take Bricklink.
IDeal is Dutch only, yes. It's not a 3rd party by the way, it's simply
the default online interface for bank transfer, which is the preferred (and free!)
payment method. So every Dutch citizen has it, it does not require setting up
an account (other than a bank account), it does not require anything, all people
readily have it and can use it very easily. The transaction costs that I pay
for it in my webshop are €0.29 fixed price. Way cheaper than PayPal, and for
larger businesses I think it's virtually free.
That's my example of Bricklink doing its own thing without caring to listen,
and I am sure a lot of us have such examples. That's why I prefer Bricklink
just keeps on sleeping and not come up with ideas. They just don't seem to
be thought through in a professional way. An admin recently mentioned that Bricklink
is considering prices here to be really low. If anything, a bit too low. What
do you think will happen with XP where the individual store is all but taken
out of the equation? Even more downward pressure on prices. If you want higher
prices, you need to give stores space to profile themselves as unique individuals,
instead of stripping all that away and comparing them by price only.
I'm not talking about what I want here, I just see that Bricklink
wishes prices to be higher and at the same time develop something which will
push prices down. The MOC shop, the Chinese translation if anyone remembers that,
Bricklink XP, and - according to some of the members - the AFOL Designer program:
Just random side projects that weren't thought through and don't have
any consistent vision behind them in terms of what direction to take Bricklink.
Well enough talk about Bricklink from me for now, I'm back to order picking
and I don't want to be framed like someone who just complains. Alot about
Bricklink is pretty awesome. I just prefer it to be left alone if the alternative
is random changes that are not serious and not professional. And I have some
good hope it will. XP is not here yet, so so far everything is just fine and
business as usual

define an infinite number of "stockrooms", but in your remarks.

Yeah, if they would give us that it would be acceptable.
I use stockroom A for items that I comb from incoming inventory that I want to
keep or am considering keeping. I part things out to stockroom B so that I can
see my partout value before buying when possible. Stockroom C are things that
I have priced and bought, but have not arrived at my home or I have not sorted
out. If I had infinite stockrooms, I would keep each incoming set separate until
released. Then if I got contacted that they couldn't send it after all,
I could clear it away in a few clicks. Or when I got the whole thing sorted,
I could release the whole set with a few clicks. And when I was in the middle
of pricing one set and suddenly realized something else I wanted to price out,
I could stop what I was doing and go do that one. Or when I had 3 sets that
I have already bought and need to price out, I could do them all at once and
still keep their totals separated.

And the funny thing is BO launched with it and it is much smoother over there
and far fewer complaints about missing bits.
I can say without reservation that we will not be adopting xp at any time.

Based on instructions, set images and image of the stickersheet I believe that
the wrong sticker is applied on [p=6091pb017]
This is the same sticker that is also on [p=3069bpb085]
Looking at the sticker sheet it is the second sticker from the
left in the top row. The correct sticker should be the one all the way to the
right on the top row and that sticker also partially goes on a black 1x1 plate.
So a stickered assembly should be added to the catalog for that sticker.

And this is where it goes totally wrong. On the one hand, they seem to aim at
the broad casual consumer market, on the other hand, they force a highly specific
online-business-insiders-only payment method. If I would go to the local supermarket
and ask random people if they have bought something online last week, lots of
them are going to say "yes". If I ask them if they used PayPal, pretty much all
of them are going to respond "what's PayPal?"
And then I haven't even touched on PayPal's plan to dramatically increase
transaction fees by next month, which ruins their competitiveness compared to
other payment methods (but they are trying to circumvent the free market principle
by forcing sellers not to disclose the fees to buyers in as many countries as
possible, and encouraging the buyers to ask for PayPal because it is "free")
If they will implement a relevant payment method, then I will participate in
XP (for the Dutch market, the 4th largest country on Bricklink, this is iDeal).
If they don't, I won't. I'm done trying to make Bricklink see reason.
iDeal is one of the main reasons that I set up my own webshop, and now that I
have it, I don't really care what Bricklink does anymore. If they are not
going to add iDeal, that's just going to be more Dutch consumers for me in
my webshop

We don't know either but think it may be okay. Many businesses fail because
they do not listen to their customers. That is a serious matter here, but they
have the market pull - thanks to Dan and all the excellent volunteers they have
had over the years. Customers
have a strange habit of going where the products are and BL is probably at the
top of the tree for that.
We won't be signing up for xp either - it isn't aimed at our type of
store - its target is a large one - the 'Soccer Moms' so to speak who
want a set for little Johnny for xmas and do not need the complications of Bricklink
to hamper them. In MP's presentation at Brickworld last year he suggested
an Amazon/Ebay model (we don't know if they have achieved that or not and
his throwaway comments about we will continue to support the classic site don't
fill many of us with enthusiasm, but those are the issues that are known at
present.
We were also informed some time ago that Phase I release was due to come out
in March ((and it didn't make it - rumour has it that Phase 2 will be out
at the end of the year)) so we still have plenty of time to contemplate this
radical change.
Storerooms - we don't use them either but we know people that do. It is,
however, unlikely that you will get any changes to the classic site as MP also
announced nothing more will be done on the classic site due to the fact they
feel xp is the future , they don't understand the 'spaghetti code',
and their
early changes were not met with enthusiasm.
Apparently xp requires Instant Checkout (not a problem for some), also requires
Paypal for Marketplaces (Again not a problem for some) but little else is known
about it. I think generally there is a lack of interest in this latest tangent.
It may appeal to some but large part stores may find it diametrically opposed
to the way they operate. There have been, since the announcement, not many threads
about it so everything may have changed or it may be exactly as they outlined,
we won't really know til it is released, it appears.
Not really convinced that is the best way to get new software accepted and 'taken
up' but it isn't our business to run it is theirs - we are only here
to pay the bills .
How about this for a throwaway line - might not be our (Community) business to
run but then again, maybe it should be

I don't get the idea of "multiple stockrooms" in the first place. The way
I see it, it is a binary thing: something can either be for sale or not for sale.
(Maybe a second Schrödinger's stockroom for items that are neither for sale
nor not for sale? )
If I understand it correctly, multiple stockrooms are kind of like tagging items
with remarks. The remarks feature already exists. It's overlapping functionality.
I'm guessing multiple stockrooms are needed for inventory operations that
apply to one tag only, and the remarks field is not available for this operation?
Then Bricklink should have made the remarks field available to that operation.
That way, the whole multiple stockrooms thing could have been abolished and at
the same time you would have kept all the functionality. It's like you can
define an infinite number of "stockrooms", but in your remarks.
(Bricklink's cockpit is abandoned and we're left to our own devices,
it's not like it will change of course.. so I say "could have been" )

I like having multiple stockrooms because I use them for multiple purposes (back-stock,
items temporarily removed from sale, items that have been misplaced and need
to be found, sets I am parting out, sets I am considering parting out, parts
for my own use). I often find myself juggling the stockrooms, and wish I had
more, but I manage with three.
I hadn't considered using remarks to keep things categorized. Thanks for
the tip; I will experiment with it and see if it works for me.
But most importantly, it is sad to think we have no pilot or crew for Bricklink.

Of course if you could filter in the main inventory menu by remarks, this would

Comments from Submitter:
Beside main foil pack (B-wing) in this issue was added second one extra foil pack. In my copy it was Obi-Wan Kenobi which is already in inventory. But in diffrent copies second one foil pack was added different one. Found information on polish blog (in polish unfortunetly) about other possible ones to be found with this issue beside B-wing. So you could buy this magazin with U-wing and second foil pack which could be one of five diffrent ones. Have no idea if there could be more possibilites. Those were confirmed by diffrent people from different parts of country.

Voted no, I prefer to look at all the tiles at once. I lay out all my tiles
and pick out the same patterns, then I will separate later by printed or stickers
for the hard to determine items.

You can isolate parts with stickers from the search results by adding sticker*
to your search terms (to find only parts with stickers) or -sticker* (to filter
out parts with stickers)
You can also use goatleg.com as a shortcut
|
Yes, I use the above method as I am sure many others do as well. But the crazy
organizing gene in me thinks they should be in different categories. So I
vote for splitting out not only tiles that are stickered and printed, but ALL
decorated parts into stickered parts, and printed parts.

Interesting. Why can printed versions of parts even have different categories
than their parent part? Is there even a case where that is needed? I can think
of one case: 2 x 2 x 2 Slopes with dress prints could go under Minifig,Bodypart
(or better: change the "legs assembly" category in "lower body" and move all
short legs, mermaid tails and ghost lower bodies there too). But even in this
case, those parts are simply "slope".
So if printed parts never even have a different category than their parent part,
why is it apparently needed that these parts are assigned a category manually?
It's just extra work and extra risk of error. In my own webshop's catalog,
the data of the non printed parent part is used as much as possible. That saved
me a whole lot of work.

The BL database does not 'know' about parent parts. This is something
that we as users understand by trimming the part number, but in the underlying
database, there is no such relation between P=3626cpb2423 and P=3626c. For the
database engine, these are just two unrelated records that happen to be near
each other in alphabetical order. Therefore, the category field is to be filled
separately with every item.
There is a relation in the database that relates P=3626c to P=3626a and P=3626b,
but that is not the relation you seek right now.
With the current database, this functionality of automatically linking categories
to the category of the parent part, is (a little) harder to build. However, it
would have unintended consequences: A quick selection in Excel learns that of
the 40K decorated part, 11K have the same category as their 'parent'
part, 24K have not, and 5K have no parent part defined in the database. This
is mostly because there is a separate category for decorated, but there are more
examples.

There are lots of reasons why something isn’t automatized. The main ones are:
1. You have to realize it’s stupid work.
2. “You can automatize that?!” The users don’t even know they can ask for it
to be done.
3. And, of course, “there’s something else more urgent to do.”
You thought about it because you’re lazy (in a good way ) and you needed to
do the job yourself.
|
You're probably right, a lot if this may have to do with the fact that catalog
work is unpaid work for Bricklink. Why waste time on making something that's
free less work?

This is why goatleg exists - the flatness of the Bricklink catalog makes it difficult
to find decorated parts because they are all thrown into one jumbled category
at the same level as undecorated parts. If the Bricklink catalog were arranged
with true categories and subcategories that move from the general to the specific,
then decorated parts would be subcategories of their undecorated versions and
would be much easier to find.

Hi
As you know there are 2 versions.
It would be fine if the first release parts are in the inventory, other parts
in the alternate section.
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4502939.pdf
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4586971.pdf
There are a lot of differences between the 1ste and 2nd release. Maybe put all
parts used for the 2nd but not for the 1st in the MID '99'. (as there
are already parts in for the MID 99 in this set)

Comments from Submitter:
The information comes from the opening of a "mint-in-box" unopened set (Samsonite). I opened the set to verify the pieces. I also have info on what "lego logo's" are on the studs, to ensure era-specific correctness if interested.
|
It's great to get info from unopened sets and that people take their time
to correct old inventory lists. Still, there is a problem. This new inventory
means that the old inventory was crap. I don't think it was. Is it dead certain
that the sets released in for example Europe contained exactly the same parts
as the Samsonite versions? I think that the parts 3009 and 3023 should have remained
as alternate parts. Also, what about the sellers of set 329 having painstakingly
collected the parts in order to sell this set? Now, they need to start the process
all over again. The BL method of inventory list making should allow some variations
which are highly probable.
