OK great that was very helpful - thank you! Now I have my inventory matched again
between BO and BL.

Next issue is that I had a large order come in on BO whilst my inventory was
gone in bricklink.

Both inventories are not reflecting that order - is there a way of removing that
order.

Could I use the sub command and point it at the concerned order file after modifying
it to remove the associated XML order tags?

Bricksync should have saved the order as a bsx file. You should be able to use
the sub command to subtract the contents of that bsx file from your inventory.

Maar hoezo is dit eigenlijk op ons van toepassing?
Bent u e-commerce ondernemer en levert u goederen van buiten de EU aan consumenten
binnen de EU? Dan krijgt u vanaf 1 juli 2021 te maken met veranderingen.

Wij importeren toch geen goederen van buiten de EU die we hier vervolgens in
de EU verkopen?
Dit is dan toch helemaal niet van toepassing op ons?

Die link is inderdaad niet van toepassing op ons. Deze link van de KvK gaat over
de wijzigingen die wel op ons van toepassing kunnen zijn: https://www.kvk.nl/advies-en-informatie/internationaal-ondernemen/e-commerce/btw-regels-voor-e-commerce-in-de-eu/

Dit begrijp ik niet helemaal:

"Vanaf het moment dat je boven het drempelbedrag van 10.000 euro komt, breng
je het btw-tarief in rekening van het EU-land waar je klant gevestigd is. Dit
geldt voor de factuur waarmee je het drempelbedrag overschrijdt. Wanneer je al
voor 8.000 euro aan consumenten in andere EU-landen geleverd hebt en voor 3.000
euro aan een Franse consument moet factureren, dan is de factuur van 3.000 euro
belast met Franse btw."

Het systeem gaat pas in zodra je daadwerkelijk het drempelbedrag overschrijdt?
Dat is verrassend en raar. Betekent dat dan dat verkopers telkens twee systemen
moeten hanteren - het eerste gedeelte van het jaar NL BTW en het tweede gedeelte,
zodra ze over de limit zijn, ineens de buitenlandse BTW, en dat elk jaar weer?

Vanaf dat moment moet je verplicht aanmelden, maar je kunt je al eerder vrijwillig
aanmelden voor de regeling. Dat staat volgens mij wel ergens op de site van de
belastingdienst.

6339 instructions clearly show show "Outside Thread Grooves" for the above parts.

Unfortunately instructions (and also box images) sometimes don't show the
correct part variants which came in a set. So to change these entries evidence

I have this set in my personal collection from sealed set that was never mixed

I know when creating a coupon, you can exclude certain parts....but can this
be done after a coupon has been issued as I don't want to overprice it so
much that it turns off potential buyers elsewhere? Considering these are worth
up to 75% off, that's a major difference in price!

I've retained it as a stock item for now until the coupons are used or expired.

According to the help page https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1076&q=coupon
you can edit coupons after you created them.

I think the tab at the bottom is some kind of standard attachment because I have

(That was just in passing that I saw the pictures. I’m not an expert in motors

Instructions for these boats state that motors (not from Lego) can be attached.
So Lego did not produce its own motors for these boats.

At the final stage of the checkout process where the buyer selects the shipping

BTW, it’s if you sell 10k€ per year PER COUNTRY, not your total income.
So it’s if you sold over 10k€ last year to country X that you need to apply country
X’s VAT rate to your country X buyers now.

It is my understanding that it is 10000 EUR to all EU countries added together
(except your own country). So if a Dutch sellet sold for example 9000 EUR to
Germany and 2000 EUR to Belgium they'd have to charge the buyer's country's
VAT rate on all their sales in the EU.

The 10000 EUR threshold is based on sales value excluding VAT and excluding intra-community
supplies (sales at 0% VAT to VAT-registered businesses in other EU countries).

According to https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/btw/content/e-commerce-en-diensten-in-de-eu-kijk-wat-er-verandert-voor-de-btw-x
you should continue to charge your customers 21% Dutch VAT if you sell less than

Hmm good point, I hadn't considered the change of the marketplaces becoming
responsible for VAT. So I guess BL will pay the appropriate VAT amount to the
authorities, and then charge the seller that VAT amount alongside their monthly
fees, something like that? (as separate statements: fees are a business cost,
tax is not). And of course issue a document as proof that VAT has been paid,
like they do now for UK.
I have no idea how to make invoices with "someone else paid my VAT" - is it going
to be an 'export' to California? Anyway, how to handle that is probably
not Bricklink's responsibility, as long as they provide that proof.

The marketplace will only collect VAT for imports into the EU, the same way they
already do for UK VAT and US sales tax. You will still collect VAT for all your
sales to buyers in other EU countries and will report the VAT on those sales
to your own country's tax authority. Your country's tax authority will
then report and pay the VAT to the tax authorities of your buyers' countries.

In order to make this work BL will have to make changes to their VAT system so
that sellers have the option to choose if they will charge the buyer's country's
VAT rate (this will be mandatory if you sell more than 10000 EUR to other EU
countries) or your own country's VAT rate (this will be optional if you sell
less than 10000 EUR to other EU countries). And just to make it clear, it will
of course be up to the seller to make sure that they choose the correct option.
BL won't know if you sell more than 10000 EUR to other EU countries if you
also sell on other marketplaces and/or your own website.

Bottomline, nothing really changes, just more hassle for businesses, dealing
with dozens of figures instead of just one EU figure. No idea what they're

Preventing tax avoidance probably. Under the current rules a business could base
themselves in the country with the lowest VAT rate and charge lower prices to
their buyers and/or make more profit. There are already limits per country but
they are much higher than the new limit of 10000 EUR for sales to the whole EU.
So right now only large shops (for example Amazon) already have to charge the
VAT rate of the buyer's country.

From the 1st of July, when you operate an e-commerce business with generated

This is not entirely correct (or maybe a bit too simplified). If you sell more
than 10000 EUR to other EU countries you will have to charge the VAT rate of
the buyer's country. If you stay below the limit you may charge your own
country's VAT rate but you can voluntarily choose to charge the buyer's
country's VAT rate on all your sales.

For sets less than a year old only sealed set contents are accepted as a source
for inventories. When a set is more than a year old other sources may be used.
This set was released more than a year ago, so you may inventory the set from
other sources. The main problem would probably be adding the set's unique
parts and minifigures to the catalog. You'd have to either use your own images
or Lego's official images of them. I haven't looked at this set specifically
so I don't know if any official images from Lego are available that could
be used for those new catalog entries.

If the remarks are correct in Bricklink the sync command should correct Brickowl.

Or you can export your Bricklink inventory and reload it into Brickowl.

The command would have updated the remarks on both BL and BO. But Bricksync does
make backups of inventory. So if there is still a backup with the original remarks
you should be able to restore them using the "loadnotes" command in Bricksync.
That command will load remarks (and comments) from a bsx file.

I tried, but the systems requires a parameter, do you know this?
If I type "loadall" he says the same...

It needs the filename of the bsx file from which you want to load the remarks.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Box 2 Light gray, now its changed in the item number...
Maybe i did something wrong...

That is weird, it should take whatever you have in the remarks field and carry
it over.

Try the "sync" command and see if it just needs to update everything.

I have only been using Bricksync for a month or so myself so I am not an expert
by any means.

Instructions step 9 top of tower is 2x3002old + 3x3001old not 6x3002old as listed in current inventory. My version is dated 1974 and instructions are numbered 97283

Can you please upload a photo of your instructions from step 9?

Hi SezaR, photos uploaded as requested.

Ok this is the same as the one uploaded on Peeron. Now the question is if there
is a second version different than yours?

I changed the quantities of both part to six last year after receivinh a message
from a member. I had found a scan of the instructions at that time that I thought
confirmed those quantities. But looking back at them now I think I was misled
because the scan was at a low resolution. Looking at it more carefully it is
the same as the scan that was posted here.

So the only source for quantity of six for both parts is now that member's
used set of which he is not the original owner. So for now we'll keep just
the two 2x3 and nine 2x4 bricks in the inventory for this set and also in set
560-2 which is the same set with just a different number.

to onsite methods only.

What about orders sold to business not to consumers? The VAT shouldn't be
charged for those.

An email with this same communication will be sent out later today. For additional
information, please refer to our new Brexit Marketplace Changes Help Page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2514

That's explained at the additional information link above: "If the buyer
is a UK VAT-registered business and provides their valid UK VAT registration
number, the responsibility to account for VAT will switch to the UK VAT-registered
business customer."

That page also has some other additional information, for example about the special
status of Northern Ireland.

* Change 2 Part {Dark Bluish Gray to Light Bluish Gray} 6232 Brick, Modified 2 x 2 with Pin and Axle Hole

Comments from Submitter:
As I always do, I double check my inventories when I part out the sets afterwards. How this color ended up DBG in the inventory I don't know. It might have been from the data that BrickLink supplied, because I didn't change it. I fixed only variants and added extras and counterparts, no changes to colors or numbers. Or someone changed it while the inventory was in limbo.

The PCC 6347704 is listed for dark bluish gray in the Bricklink catalog but should
be light bluish gray. I have submitted a request to remove that PCC from dark
bluish gray. It should ne added to light bluish gray after that request is accepted.

That is strange. Where did that PCC come from? It was automatically filled out
by BL, and apparently I didn't notice the wrong color.

4211529 is the PCC listed in the instructions, and that points to LBG which is
correct. So the PCC for DBG was right all along?

/Jan

Bricklink uses the Lego replacement parts data to load the initial inventory
(if you choose to use that option when submitting an inventory). PCC 6347704
is listed in that data and was originally added for the wrong color in the BL
catalog.

This set does not actually contain 2 of panel decorated 60581pb155. This part

I found that the four 3005 light gray blocks in set 10698-1 that I got are unusually
light when compared to other blocks of supposedly the same color. The manual
lists these as the same as the other bricks in the set, but this is not the case.
In the photo I have attached, the window piece also came with the set. I have
attached other bricks for comparison as well.

I am not sure if this is intentional or a color error at the manufacturing plant,
but these bricks are lighter than the standard light blue gray.

This brick sells for $5 a piece for some reason in the color very light blue
gray. The current set inventory on here does not reflect the lighter color.

See this discussion from a couple of days ago about the same color issue: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=287603

What is your source for this request? It looks dark bluish gray in the set image.

It does look black in the photo on the front of the instructions, but the inventory
lists source as sealed set contents. So dark bluish gray should be correct.

Re: 3003pb004 sticker too large

Topic:

Catalog

I checked my own set and can confirm that the sticker is too big to fit on one
brick, so the current catalog entry for this stickered counterpart should be
replaced by a stickered assembly.

In Catalog Requests, patpendlego writes:

The instructions are just a drawing, that does not prove anything.

Clearly the sticker on the stickersheet is larger than the side of a 2x2 brick,
so it does not fit on 1 brick and should be placed on 2 bricks. The stove is
2 bricks high so that is very well possible.

IMO the entry with the sticker on 1 brick is wrong, it should be an assembly
with 2 bricks.

The sticker on these bricks is clearly too large to fit on one brick. So does
this sticker exist in different sizes or is the current part image showing a
cut sticker? Should this part be retired and an assembly be made instead?

Note that I've found parts [P=3068bp65] and

Original instructions for set indicate yellow plate round 1x1 in Regular Parts. BrickLink inventory for Regular does not show this and it needs to be fixed. BrickLink inventory does include part as identified Extra

See the alternate items and inventory note:

Redesigned during production.

There are at least 2 different versions of instructions for this set. The differences
for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items
section with Match ID 99.

Quick overview of redesign: The yellow 1 x 1 cone at the end of the fire hose
is inverted so the large end is pointing out. A yellow 1 x 1 round plate with
hole is added to the large end of the cone to hold the water plume.

Very interesting Paul.
Is it hard to distinguish thin from thick ring from the photos.

The catalog is this or a variant of this from 1985

m85eu1 1985 Mini European (109983-EU)
Catalogs: 1985

The forum's photo resizing does make it difficult to distinguish the thick
and thin rings. I've cropped it to show just part of the bag with these parts.
The catalog in the box was

This set does not contain item "892", but instead item "65676"... the parts look very much the same, but they are not.

Early production runs of this set at least came with 892. Did you find 65676
