I am parting out a set that I have three of, but only one of the sets seems to
have the "extra" parts. I'm newer to selling and thus parting out sets like
this, but is this normal? Every other set have have parted out always has the
exact number of "extras" as Bricklink says it should have.

Tha Catalog should be used as guide.
Always verify the parts when uploading stock.

Hello

Would it be possible to implement a new sort by-option in the Wanted List?

The current Have feature is useless. It's the same as Want.
Easier is to create an Ordered Wantlist and move the items there until they're
received.

I actually find the "Have" feature to be very useful, though I would like an
"Ordeded/Purchased" feature too; I've purchased loads of parts multiple times
accidentally, as I'd forgotten I had already ordered them and didn't
check through my current orders properly. If I could mark wanted parts as "Ordered"
it would save me time. money and storage space.

That's exactly what the Have feature was supposed to do, but it doesn't
subtract anything from Want.

It does though. If you look in your Wanted list it clearly shows how many you
Want and how many you Have in hand. Now go to a store and select Wanted List
it shows sjhows your Wanted Qty (which is original Wanted minus Have).

As for Have - I don't want it

I just checked and it still doesn't subtract Have from original Want.
Usually I don't want to search for the original Want quantity but for new
Want quantity.

If it does now, the Have feature probably has been tweeked.

I am after a few pieces to complete a few kits and am going from one checkout
to another, then to another and then cancelling the orders (before payment) because
the vendors haven't got the "Request a Quote" provision set up.

You can always use the Contact Store button and inquire about the shipping costs.

Clearly it would save a lot of stuffing around if you know the full cost incl
P&H before hand.
Even better - there should be a little icon or something next to the vendors
name to indicate whether they send quotes or not so you don't have to go
through the checkouts to find out right at the end.
This is what I'm experiencing in Australia

Catalog

In Catalog, Admin_Russell writes:

Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed longtime member BricksThatStick
to the Catalog Associate position. Paul served as the site's 4th Inventories
Admin during 2010 to 2011 alongside Emma (SimplyBricks). He effectively replaced
Dan Jezek, the site's founder, who had a special fondness for inventories
work and who of course left very big shoes to fill.

If you take the time to scroll through Paul's 900+ inventories changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?chgUserID=44744&v=3

...you will notice a sea of green, followed by a sea of blue, followed by another
sea of green. This means he continued to contribute to the catalog after having
once been an admin, which is (unfortunately) something rather uncommon. But it
demonstrates a great and correct attitude, the kind of attitude we wish to model
for all of our other contributors out there, especially the ones still cutting
their teeth.

Paul has, over the years, been very active as a seller and many of you will know
him also from his activity in the Forum. We look forward to his practical insights
and we are confident he will play a vital role in our growing catalog team.

Please welcome him back!

Russell

Congratulations.

Hi,

Just wondering if you're able to make specific lots only available to specific
countries?

I'm looking to sell some sets but I want to set them to UK only (if you can
do this then how?)

Thank you in advance for any help!

It's not possible to differentiate.

In theory you could describe the item as for UK only and mark the item for manual
invoice and cancel orders with the item from other countries.
It would probably lead to issues, because many people don't read. You'll
get a discussion if it's a valid order.

Hey peoples! i would really like to be able to contribute by adding New set inventories
into bricklink but i am worried i will make a mistake.
Is their a tutorial on how to do it correctly with a run down on how everything
works? If so, please point me to the video or link. If not is this something
a more experienced person might be interested in doing to teach us?

Cheers
