of a quick view. You'd see the years it was made, any sets/minifigures the
piece was in, etc. You all know what I'm talking about. Well, a few days
ago I couldn't do it anymore. I've tried three different devices.
Why would they make such a horrible change for? I rely on that heavily when listing
minifigure parts to make sure I have the correct listing. This is going to make
this job twice as long now.

Doesn't work for me either. This happened a few weeks ago. Then all of a
sudden I could enlarge them again. Then a couple days ago, it stopped letting
me enlarge them again. A big pain if you ask me.

Haha thanks for reaching out. Lol, I can see how it would be a pretty big ask,
but yeah it's pretty similar to what rebrickable would do.
Example: "You can build these figures with the pieces you uploaded"
And if there were an optimization feature which took into account the qty of
pieces you have and you could either tell it to "Build Max Qty" or "Build Max
Value" so once a unique head or something was consumed by a figure, it couldn't
be used to complete another.
|
I am in complete agreement with this. I have thought it would be a great idea
for years. Wish they would do it with sets as well. Might be too difficult with
sets but it would at least be great for the minifigures.

the catalog.
Right now they can be found by going to the parts section.
Giving them their own section would make them stand out. I didn't even know
they existed until the recent forum discussion.
Make the corresponding drop down menu match to the theme the assembly comes from?

Eggcellent

end of the spectrum of this part (which never came assembled in any set):

I see that this part is marked for deletion. Since the counterpart policy has
changed it seems like it should not be.
|
Great.
I give up.

Yeah. Can't tell if it's just a case of 'left hand doesn't know
what the right hand is doing' or some sort of turf war.

I did not see any catalog admins taking part in this discussion, but I do not
think it is a coincidence that after 16 years in the catalog, this part is suddenly
deemed a bad "precedent."
Incidentally, looking at just the black version as an example, it appears that
the complete hinge sells at about three times the rate as the individual parts.
It is pretty clear that people prefer to buy this hinge as a unit. It's my
opinion that the number would be even higher if the hinge were in the counterpart
section of inventories.
|
I'm nowhere near knowledgeable enough to get involved in the workings of
Bricklink or the catalog. I just think that it was simply ridiculous to get rid
of this hinge from the catalog.

What a chore it would be to try to sort and separate them given they look so
similar at first glance. Won't have the time or inventory drawer space to
bother trying to separate these. Guess they will be going in the "do not sell"
pile.
|
Really should have at least put the "undetermined" option for this.

Hold on. Are you telling me the passport I just bought off this website is a
scam? Can't be. The guy didn't have any negative feedback. I'm sure
it will arrive. And if it doesn't, I'll just file an NSS.

| | As Bricklink seems to be growing at an impressive rate and we see more new buyer
join,
i have noticed a negative trend of posts in the forum regarding scammers and
dishonest sellers.
I'd hate to lose these potential shoppers who might not be as savvy in spotting
the red flags of a seller that might fall short of providing the minimum level
of service one might hope to receive.
To a buyer; those initial shopping experienced shape her/his opinion of Bricklink
as a system- we (sellers & Bricklink) should make sure those experiences are
pleasant.
So my idea is a simple one; how about having a short 'quick start' guide
for new BL shoppers; a short and informative welcome message that would give
the most basic of advises to the shopper such as taking a look at a seller's
feedback (not just quantity of feedback but also the quality of feedback as some
relatively new shops might not have the high volume of feedback but would still
provide an excellent service)
Some general info to take the mystery of what happens after you place your first
order (wait for invoice) and more of the general info that is provided in the
'Help''Buying' section which i'm sure most new buyers don't
look at before placing their first order.
a 'welcome to Bricklink' email with some of these details might help
both buyers and sellers avoid some frustrations and benefit our community.
|
This the best new idea I've seen about Bricklink since I have been on here.
Fantastic idea and should absolutely be done.
