It's been a few years but I'm open again. Reset all of my new piece prices to just under past 6 months average sale. Open to offers as well, especially if you're looking for large buyouts. I look forward to seeing you!

I have been trying to put together several orders and get the most out of each
store. But I am not able to do this in one sitting. It may require a small
design change, waiting to hear back from the proprieter or *gasp* actually working.
So then all my carts expire after about 2-3 days and I have to work on rebuilding
them. It's enough to give up and source parts elsewhere.

Sure, I can save screenshots and try to save in Brickstock but these are extra
unnecessary steps. Likely there is a variable somewhere in the bowels of the
BL code that could be changed from "72 hours" to "720 hours". If Amazon, Target,
and the Owl can remember my carts indefinitely, I don't think it's asking
too much for BL to do the same.

And for those who would complain that it's unnecessary, tell me also how
it would inconvenience you to have a longer cart timeout.

Maybe someone could come up with some games to waste our time. Flash or Ajax
or whatever all the cool kids are programming in now. I know LEGO.com has games
but they are either lame or take forever to load.

In another thread it was noted that

 
Part No: 6005  Name: Arch 1 x 3 x 2 Curved Top
* 
6005 Arch 1 x 3 x 2 Curved Top
Parts: Arch

and

 
Part No: 6091  Name: Slope, Curved 2 x 1 x 1 1/3 with Recessed Stud
* 
6091 Slope, Curved 2 x 1 x 1 1/3 with Recessed Stud
Parts: Slope, Curved

are similar but in different categories.

I propose adding tags to all parts in addition to the categories they are currently
in. For instance 6005 would get tagged as "brick" "arch" "1x3" "1x3x2" "curved
top" "1x1 plate". 6091 would be tagged similarly but with different dimension
tags. While this would be an onerous task, it is not insurmountable to add into
the new Bricklink. A benefit to the tags is that you could use it to find parts
that could be solutions to your MOC. It would be very helpful to be able to
find parts by using multiple tags. "Arch" would show too many parts but adding
"1x1 plate" would limit it to the few arch pieces that had a 1x1 plate as part
of their physical properties.

Needs some working out but that's the basic idea.

The (S) superlot symbol is great visual reference in the Price Guide. You instantly
know that you'll have to buy other parts to get that one. I would like to also
see a (T) tiered pricing visual reference as well. This way I would know at
a glance that if I bought several, I could possibly get said item cheaper in
bulk. Tiered prices would not need to be shown in the price guide.

Sure beats checking every store.

I have been a little confused on occasion as to how to list sets or when scrolling
through sets for sale. I am always interested in having the box and original
instructions but it is not always easy to determine from the descriptions.

I propose that under the mandatory "Conditions" section of listing a new set
that two new checkboxes be added: Instructions (check for yes) and Box (check
for yes) as well as a conditional description of each. I think this might also
help sets that I'm selling stand out as they all have instructions and box.
I feel justified in listing them for more but I feel they might get lost in the
list of sets for sale that may or may not have such items.

Thanks,

Brian
