All of the item names in the catalog with any reference to M:Tron have been standardized
to "M:Tron".
If you run a search for "m:tron" or "m tron" now, you will get all of the results
in the catalog. However, if you run a search for "mtron" now, you will get no
results. This is not ideal, but at least the searches are not inconsistent. Hopefully
what the volunteer admin team was able to accomplish here can help you and others
for now. Anything beyond this solution will need assistance from the BrickLink
development team.

Do you talk about some numbers written in red as "(5)" in cart ? If so, thanks
for the information!

only the availables parts I need ? ( if store has parts ID 3001 x4000, but I
need x26, do not count 4000 but 26). (picture "buy wanted list")
|
On the left side of the screen you can select to see the wanted items instead
of the wanted lists. If you then select the store by clicking on the row (not
on the store name), you will see which items and how many the store has.
|
Yes you're right, but with a column for it we can sort by availability of
required parts instead of checking each store.
Using the sort, I prefer to know quickly which store has the most parts of my
list instead of know that a store has more parts than I need. Even more, I think
the current method distorts the result of the sort because I don't see use
cases where a buyer need to buy more parts than he wants. Or an other explanation
is that I've not understand the tool at all..

| Hi,
In my opinion, during the selection of stores in the panel "buy", the information
on the windows "Confirm Store Selection" or "Edit Store Selection" are not sufficient.
I face 2 main problems :
1) Once I've finished to select sellers, I must create a cart to access the
"notes from seller".
In fact "new" or "used" are not enough detailled. For used parts, these notes
are important because some parts could be used in good condition, or used in
bad condition (for example "yellowed", or "scratched").
Furthermore, by creating carts, I book parts before be sure that their conditions
will fit my needs. And during my check, they are not available for other people.
-- I suggest to add the column "note from seller" in the windows "Confirm
Store Selection" and "Edit Store Selection" (picture "edit store")
2) When I need huge amount of parts ( ~3000 ), during the store selection I don't
find the information of how many required parts a store have for me.
-- In windows "Confirm Store Selection" or "Edit Store Selection", I would
appreciate to have the global value of "Total buying" parts in the current storen
near the total cost. (picture edit store)
-- In the tag "Buy", could the column "Item count" of the stores list counts
only the availables parts I need ? ( if store has parts ID 3001 x4000, but I
need x26, do not count 4000 but 26). (picture "buy wanted list")

Me too.
I wish all punctuation was removed for searches. My claim to fame was getting
Palantir added to the Palantír entry. I failed to get non accented versions of
the names in FEB though.

|
| Apologies if either of these have been suggested before, they are huge frustrations
for me.
An annoyance I experience with the Want List main page is having to change the
Sort By from Newest to Alphabetically each and every time I visit the page. I
have over 30 lists and could care less when they were created, I just want to
quickly find the one I'm looking for. So, can the Sort order be permanently
saved or turned into an account preference?
Second, in almost every place that parts are listed on BL (including order details),
one can click on the image to see a bigger version in a lightbox modal... that
is, everywhere except for wanted lists. Please consider making the images there
also lightboxes, because it's cumbersome having to open item detail pages
just to get a better view.
Thank you.

Yes, it would be perfect create multilevel alternatives between subsets of wanted
list.
It's useful for minifigs or combined parts, e.g. 50860c02 can be bought on
different ways:
50860c02 XOR (50860 AND (50859a XOR 50859b) AND 2x (50862c01 XOR (50861 AND 50862)).
It's useful for multiple variant of single parts, for example: 3794 XOR 3794a
XOR 3794b XOR 15573 in many projects is equivalent.
Maybe nested wanted list (wanted list as element of wanted list) with AND / XOR
relation between them?

Bricklink had a seller feature that would automatically have the average price
(or what ever price you set it as) put in the box while adding items like brickOwl
does. I also love how brickOwl has the option to add the same part in multiple
colors at the same time and I really wish Bricklink had the same! I also like
it that if I posted a suggestion in the BrickOwl Forum for a new seller feature,
it would be done in a matter of a few minutes (most likely). I hope this seller
feature suggestion can be acted upon quickly and not years later to never.

Kind of surprised there is zero support or feedback on this. It can't
be just me whom dislikes having so many orders within the same bucket (Shipments)
when they have been paid for but not packed or they are packed and ready to print
the shipping label. Personally, I don't pack an order then go print the
shipping info right afterwards. I, and I assume many others, pack all orders
or as many as they can get to, then go print all shipping labels at one time.
And then still show the orders that have been invoiced but a payment hasn't
come through yet. I think this is the most important one as a non-paid for order
can get buried quickly so it would be nice to see that you have an order you've
invoiced and check up on it without having to dig for it.

Yeah I can see why that idea makes sense especially for those who are dealing
with multiple orders at once. I am still too small for that to matter yet though
.But I am all for the idea of making things easier to find lol.

| Hello,
When entering my address in Israel on Bricklink, the site forces me to choose
a "district". Choices include Mehoz HaMerkaz, Mehoz Tel Aviv, etc.
These are not part of our address in Israel, but rather are used only in the
court system.
Please remove this field from addresses in Israel. I fear that it might create
confusion in the postal service and also among new buyers.
Thank you,

It has been "coming soon" for about three years now, so don't expect to be
