British 'Pound, Italian Lire, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen,
Brazilian Real, or another of the many other currencies?

  I'm still confused on exactly what we've been doing for the last 20 years
when it comes to part variants. Whatever we've been doing, it's not
rational or sustainable.


Not only with parts, but also with sets, gears etc.

  The topic of Neutral feedback and how they are seen as minor negatives comes
up
quite a lot and although I’m sure this idea may not go down well with some....
I think one interesting concept could be to make it so that after 3 months any
feedback
that has not been left automatically turns into a Neutral which would probably
mean about 30% of any sellers feedback will no doubt be made up of Neutrals which
might then make leaving a manual Neutral seem less Negative and more acceptable
for a buyer to submit and for a seller to receive?

A seller could say why should I have to accept receiving Neutrals just because
a buyer couldn’t be bothered to leave feedback but firstly you have to remember
that the same situation will occur for everyone so that shouldn’t matter too
much especially if Neutral is more commonly expected however my theory is that
those customers that are particularly happy with their order be that because
it shipped quickly, well packaged, great parts, no fees, reasonable shipping
cost etc, etc.. are much more likely to WANT to let the seller know its arrived
and they are very happy with everything.
If a customer is left pondering because they are disgruntled about a couple of
things they may then be more inclined to leave Neutral or let it turn to a Neutral
automatically rather than leaving the usual somewhat less than deserved Positive
rating!

My other theory is that you may actually get more people choosing to leave feedback
in the first place because they may not want the seller to receive an automated
Neutral from them but on the other hand this option allows those buyers that
don’t want to leave feedback for a seller who delivered a less than perfect transaction
the option to allow it to just turn to a Neutral.

If you think about it every transaction would be destined to become a Neutral
feedback and only those that specifically choose to give Positive or Negative
will change that eventuality which would probably make more sense?

Therefore two sellers with 100 feedback instead of looking almost identical may
end up looking very different based on their overall performance:-

Seller A:- 70 Positive, 30 Neutral, 0 Negative
Seller B:- 55 Positive, 45 Neutral, 0 Negative

Or at least that’s the theory if you go by the law of averages when it comes
to those that don’t leave any feedback and then add to that all those who had
previously been holding back with giving sellers a Neutral rating!


No! No feedback isn't a positive, neutral or a negativ feedback!

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6775  Name: Alpha Team Bomb Squad
* 
6775-1 (Inv) Alpha Team Bomb Squad
177 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2001
Sets: Alpha Team

* Delete 1 Part 3673 Light Gray Technic, Pin without Friction Ridges Lengthwise (match ID 99)

Comments from Submitter:
Can not find where this part is used in the instruction manual.

This set was redesigned during production. The first version of the set has all
of the parts in the Regular Items section with Match ID 99, and the second version
of the set has all of the parts in the Alternate Items section with Match ID
99. It sounds like you have the second version of the set. Since the inventory
is correct, this request will not be accepted.

Cheers,
Randy

I think the 2nd version is wrong. The changed parts do not fit.

I am the one who discovered the differences in 2012, and I was the one who compared
the two inventories originally. I would hope that I would have gotten it right
back then, but I can check again.

I'm pretty sure you did get it right. I found both sets of instructions a
few years ago and worked through the differences as well.

I was wrong. I have now found a video.
The wall is not closed like in the 1st version. There remains a gap.
