| I know MOST errors people report are their own fault due to changes they make.
(made some myself over the years for sure  )
I know only a VERY FEW errors people report are not their own fault and DO happen....
I know that downloading an inventory CAN be helpful to find errors made by people.
Because of the merge in operation (and that will take some months I understand!)
we are forced to increase the monitoring of the inventory to CHECK nothing strange
DOES happen to the parts in store.
That's what both of you (SylvainLS and 1001bricks) suggest to do IN ORDER
to be able to PROOF it's not the users' error. That's the ridiculous
part of the response both of you add to the discussion.
And because the merging will be a process that's happening on a daily basis,
sellers are 'forced' to do these downloads and checks on a daily basis?
We are not paid to do these checks, every day. I think we pay the fees in order
NOT to be forced to do these checks on a daily basis.....

| "... that sellers still don't download their Inventory XML everyday and
use
BrickStore to compare or restore any problem."
Seriously?
Do you really say that this is what's required to maintain a correct inventory
on BL these days?
That's the equivalent of checking every aisle in a grocery store after closing
time.
Every day.
Again.
All day's.
....
If this is true, the database and the way it handles orders and other changes
is even more gone astray than I could imagine....

| Progress is not always for the better.
This is one of those cases where it seems an improvement (technically) what in
real life generates more paperwork so less people will be connected to each other
and the administration world takes control of the real world. The effect: Norwegians
will buy local only. Here's your "..... first!" at play in another
part of the world.
So sad if technocrates decide about processes they seem to refuse to comprehend
and demand non-technocrates to follow and stand in line.
(And no: this is NOT about fair taxing etc. This about a completelly different
issue: an over-controlled government that tries to catch small fishes so the
sharks can grow bigger).

Thanks for that reflection. However an old problem felt as new is still a felt
problem.
If it never has been felt as a problem, and now it does, it doesn't make
it a lesser problem.
Even if the 'age' of the problem is several decades, it doesn't make
the effect felt less.

| Uploading the original XML's will default into the same errors you reported.
Downloading the XML's NOW from Rebrickable, fixes this .
Apparently there's a realtime check when the XML's are generated. That's
nice.
So you need to re-download your XMLS  .
Opening old XML's in BrickStore will start a migration from the old to the
new ID's (see pic).
Crap, a big list to update this weekend.....

| Does this mean ALL XML's for example at Rebrickable are affected by the merger
too?
I got hundreds of these file in my collection.
And only a manual update will do the trick.... I feared the merge operation when
it was announced, but this is plain stupid!
Many will be affected, collectors, sellers, buyers, all. At places we never been
notified of beforehand.

| Helder.
Begrijp dat jij van de KOR regeling gebruik maakt, maar daar heb ik tot op heden
voor gepast.
Met de invoering van de 2000 euro grens/30 transacties voor fiscale doormelding
van particuliere verkoop in 2023 is dat inmiddels eerder een noodzaak dan een
mogelijkheid geworden.

However here's my Extra's menu (no developer console?).
I on version 2022.10.2 (build 818); not the most recent. Should I update to get
that feature?

| Ik heb er enige tijd terug voor gekozen niet meer naar de USA te verzenden.
Sinds COVID zijn de verzendkosten bizar gestegen (ook vanuit de USA naar Europa
overigens).
Inmiddels 12 euro voor een brievenbuspakje met tracking van max 100 gram is mij
echt te gek.
Zélfs als een koper het zou willen betalen begin ik er niet meer aan.

MAKE SURE AND UPDATE BRICKSTORE DATABASE BEFORE OPENING ANY .BSX FILES THIS MORNING.

Too late for me.... but that is a genuine warning BL should have send out to

of BrickLink catalog changes?
Are the proposed merges already in progress???
No idea what/which parts are changed and.... why?
Admin, or Catalog people, how did this happen?

| USPS doesn't sell the George Washington 10 cents stamp from 1960 does it?
(not sure if it exists, but will you get my point!). At least our national Postal
service sells only NEW stamps.
So the analogy is a false one IMO, as Bricklink (TLG) does sell 1960 bricks and
not only new ones.
Check stampword dot com for instance on stamps, or dive into the AFOS (Adult
Fans Of Stamps) community and you will seek geeks that look for different teethings
on the same stamp.
Same goes here, so if it would be true analogy, follow the catalogue like AFOS
and leave the variants as is. Even if there a just 100 AFOLS who are keen on
this, leave it. Do not have it changed because 'it's easier'.
Effort brings skills. Put some effort in getting around, understanding the catalogue
and ask questions. Members help members.
