  Now that Lego owns bricklink can I request this set be inventoried and it will
get done? I’m wanting to part out 5-10 of them and have been checking for months
but it hasn’t been inventoried. I don’t know if I need to offer someone $20 to
inventory it or what to do so that’s why I’m here posting

You could use the BrickSet list while waiting for adding this one to the catalogue...

That's not what is intended I reckon....?

Indeed, make it possible to add 'complete/incomplete' to the standard
selection criteria, so: add it to the database for this category

For the last two weeks of the month I'm going to focus on the three projects
still in progress. Around the beginning of March we'll start something new.

Thanks for the update. Steady going forward.

Thanks for the heads up and congrats to StormChaser.
Good to see the team at work is increasing with valued long-term experts in their
field!

Is this a direct result of the announced new ‘Community Experts Program’ by Lego
(c) ?

No. What Russell is trying to say is that the BL color "Dark Nougat" is _very_
rare. Previously, the current "Earth Orange" parts and the current "Dark Nougat"
parts were all lumped under the old "Earth Orange". Now that there actually is
a "Dark Nougat" BL color, people have the option of using the correct "Dark Nougat"
color for parts that are _actually_ "Dark Nougat". But the vast majority of parts
that were under the old "Earth Orange" are actually still "Earth Orange", so
there are very few parts that sellers need to move from "Earth Orange"
to "Dark Nougat".

If sellers are unsure of whether their "Earth Orange" part is actually "Dark
Nougat", chances are very high this is not the case, so the advice is "when in
doubt, don't change your listing from Earth Orange to Dark Nougat.

Niek.

Thanks for stepping in Niek. This made me decide not to change anything at all
.

I am sorry, but the only way you can really know if you have Dark Nougat is if
you collect several pieces that are unmistakably Earth Orange and then make a
comparison. It's better that you leave the listings as Earth Orange than
to list something incorrectly as Dark Nougat, because collectors will buy up
that color just to have it. And they will be disappointed if it's not really
Dark Nougat.

This is getting more bizar by the day....

We are now adviced to incorrectly list items so buyers will not be disappointed?

That must be against some basic rule here, isn't it?

When changes like flesh2nougat are made, what are the effects on the usage of
BrickStock for uploading, parting etc?

Any thoughts?

Does anyone have a certain ID on the color of his head?

ah, if Lego had these Fabuland sets in the BricksAndPieces part of their site,
we could check for the color

There is only 1 rational reason: Lego calls these colors Nougat.

So the transition to a tighter connection (assimilation?) to the Lego-Corp has
started I guess?

Good thinking, but it feels like 'Kim' all over again.

I think it wiser to organise a round-table conference like was done before (US
and Europe round tables that was?
Where a delegation of the community collectively with Lego-corp would try to
outline a future for the site including all that has been posted/shared/invented/promised
in the last few years but never saw the light emerging at the end of that tunnel.
And based on that make a schedule with priorities and deadlines and thén get
people on it, managed by... Lego! They own this site and I am sure they will
make have a mucg better approach than 'Kim' had.

(Still not sure he saw this as just another investment vehicle instead of a truly
Lego addicted AFOL community with real treasures....)

  Hi

Probably a lot of us have been guilty of this, adding an item to your inventory
and forgetting the decimal point, or putting it in the wrong place, thereby creating
an abnormal price.

Is it possible when entering a price for new or used, to flag if the price entered
is say more than xx% of the average prices already on file. Still giving you
the option to enter that price, but just warning that this price is abnormal

Thanks
Tracy

Discussed and proposed many times before, but still no sign of implementing something
like this.... Focus was on other points I guess. Something with Stud.IO and a
designer competetion sort of thing....

Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....

So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.

Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

  I know of an ex-car dealer who was bored with his job and quit but continued
to buy and sell used cars as an individual for a couple of years (then he was
re-hired as a “seller extraordinary” because he was that good). He knew the
rules pretty well and limited himself to less than (I think it’s) ten cars a
year. Buy a used car, keep it a few weeks, sell the car. He managed to make
a hefty profit. All legal, and not as a pro.


Is that a business? Or someone who loves to have another car every few weeks
and makes money along the way?
Has he become a business by doing so?

The main issue here is how to differentiate between the seller, selling of his
or hers overstock with the intention to get rid of it and the seller purchasing
and reselling parts/sets etc with the intention to generate profit with it

Might even be real China-made parts. The plastic from that factory does have
similar differences from the other factories worldwide.
So, is it real, really counterfeit or just a misenterpretation of the fact Lego
had quality issues in China ....?
