|
| I used Brickstock to Load my stock into the store but the Price Guide that BL
has is a wonderful estimate to what I would do using Brickstock.
However, a piece of the parting out could be pushed to one degree further if
only you were able to have the BL system tell you what the items are that you
do not have.
In the attachment, off of a random set, I have the majority of the lots in my
store, but do not stock 4 of them. This is where it would be wonderful to have
a quick way of knowing what those 4 Lots are. Is there a way this already exists?
The only want I know of to check on this is to run an upload from Brickstock
into BL, take it to the verify screen and review the items that are not being
consolidated. Is there another way that is helpful?
Thank you

| It happens a buyer says he didn't receive the items. When shipping using
an untracked medium, there is no way in verifying if the claim is legit. So I
usually make no fuss and either refund the total order amount (including shipping)
or re-send it (if I have the items in stock).
In these cases, I sometimes get the feeling the buyer might have done this before
and actually has received the items. But as I said: there is no proof, since
no tracking. Then I wonder: "has this buyer done this in the past before with
other sellers?". There is no way in knowing. And that's why I think a buyer
should get some sort of parameter/rating stating the number of orders that were
refunded due to non-arrival. It seems like a small feature. Not really that important,
but if it were there, it would give some extra statistics in the long run as
well.

| Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is requested before, but this is one of the things I
frequently ran into so I thought I'd post it here as a suggestion.
I know that a couple of years ago an improvement was made to Bricklink when adding
a part to your store inventory. If you have the part color selected in the catalog
screen, it would be prefilled in the "add to inventory" screen. I for one was
very happy with that  . This also works when clicking a part in the inventory
of a set to go the the part's catalog page; It will be loaded with the color
pre-filled.
It would be great if this functionality was to be implemented in the folowing
cases as well:
1. Clicking from part in store to catalog. When browsing a store, you always
browse parts in a particular color. Clicking the part image in the store shows
a modal window with the part info and a link to the catalog. Clicking that link
will open the parts catalog page, but without a color selected. I use it often
to check how a part in a certain color is priced compared to other stores. Passing
on the color code to the catalog page would be an improvement
2. Somewhat similar is the following case:
Clicking the inventory of a minifig, e.g. C-3PO (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=sw365)
will give all parts that minifig consists of in their color.
- Clicking the inventory of the torso assembly (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?P=973pb1049c01),
will give all parts that torso assembly consists of, with colors for arms and
hands, but no color for the torso part.
I would expect that the torso part has a color as well, seeing that you've
"drilled down" from a specific part in a specific color to it sub-parts, so it
makes sense that the sub parts are displayed in that specific color as well.
Let me know what you all think of these cases and if you feel an improvement
can be made as well.

| Allow use of part 3062old in the projects for AFOL. It is prettier than the current
3062 and allows to make thinner columns more elegant.

|
| Goal: Develop a seller customisable category system for each sellers Inventory.
Each seller should be able to go to their Inventory Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp
] and see at the top of the page an extra sorting choice, called 'By My Category'
(?) (see image)
This will sort the Inventory into Sets | Parts | Minifigs | Books | Gear
etc and then into set categories entered by the seller.
This seller specific category is set in the Inventory Add Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_add.asp
] and the Inventory Detail Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_detail.asp
]. See images for visual idea.
The sellers store will categorise them using the BL catalog (as usual), only
the seller's view of his/her inventory can only be seen by the seller.
Rollout of this idea and then after new sellers would get the BL categories pre-populated
for their inventories. Any new catalog entries would be pre-populated for sellers'
category system to change at will. Any catalog changes (re-category particularly)
only change in the BL category system but the 'My Category' entry wil
come up in red for the seller (a bit like Storeroom settings).
The 'My Category' feature is lot specific so the seller could have one
part in one category and the same part (perhaps a different colour or condition,
or something else) in another category. For instance, the controversial Beehive...
* | | 35574 Cone 2 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Stacked Rings (Beehive / Cotton Candy)
Parts: Cone |
...could be categorised by the seller as 'Animal, Accessory' for Bright
Light Orange and categorised as 'Food' for the same part but in 'Bright
Pink'.
The 'My Category' entry should be sorted alphanumerically, so the seller
will have to take this into consideration, when setting up his/her system.
Also Bricklink could also monitor how sellers are setting up their category systems
and gain some insight into the best use system. This would complement using this
forum for category ideas and listening to only about a dozen sellers on the forum.
This would help sellers sort their BL inventory the same as their physical inventory
making order processing easier and faster.
A reset function should be provide (after warnings) so the seller can reset his
inventory category system to the same as Bricklinks.
When an order comes in, there should be a setting to see the 'My Category'
with each order entry, so the seller can easily pick the order items.

| This site is already awesome. I've been finding some old sets that I had
long forgotten about, just by finding a few unique parts in our 30+ year old
box of lego still at my parent's house.
I found a wedge shaped classic space part in the box, and from that I was able
to find that it only existed in a few sets. From there, I was able to find the
Sonar Transmitting Cruiser, something that I would have completely forgotten
about had it not been for the uniqueness of that part. I was in fact, able to
rebuild it despite all the pieces being scattered about in the old lego table
for 30 years, with numerous visiting and grandchildren messing around with it
for all this time - with only 2 substituted parts.
Tl;Dr
Anyhow, on to the ACTUAL suggestion
I would like to be able to do a multi part search. Ie if I have part 3xxx (colour
A), 5yyy (colour B) and ... 6zzz (colour X/Y/Z), which sets (if any) contain
all of those pieces? Even partial results would be particularly useful.
This could be implemented perhaps with a search limit of up to 5 peices at a
time, or more depending on an acceptable level of load on the server.

| I was thinking that it would be an interesting feature if store owners were able
to see who has carts/how many carts people have in your store so that we might
be able to issue coupons or have sales to encourage people who have had an open
cart for a long time. Another idea is people get email notifications (if they
want to enable them) for stores they have carts in whenever the price drops.

| We are aware that nothing is going on on the classic site whilst the development
team focus on Bricklink XP, so we will make this as short and sweet as we can.
Having contacted the forum and put all elements of this together it is plain
that a subtle but important change needs to be in place for the price guide screen.
Understanding full well what happens with the 'sold at' columns those
can be left as they are until the whole price guide is revisited, whenever that
is going to be. The current items for sale, however needs s small but important
change, in our view. It is currently not possible to determine the currency conversion
rate for those figures. It could have been anyti8me in the last hour or this
hour or whenever.
Please simply add the two fields which are used to convert e.g. for example $1
= 'x' £;s and £1 = 'x$). This will enable any member, buyer or seller,
to at least get their figures correct when working offline. This is not a complicated
change/fix - it merely requires placing those fields on that screen each time
they change. The fields are held somewhere in the system even if it is a temporary
table, so it should be relatively straight forward to display them on the price
guide screen.
Thoughts ?

|
| Please implement a testing framework for Instant Checkout such that …
1. Any seller can determine a number of test cases to valudate their IC shipping
parameters.
2. Those test cases can each be expresed as a script (textual or GUI object based).
3. The seller can then select all, or a subset of the test cases.
4, The seller can then submit those test cases as a batch request.
5. The BL system will then schedule and run those test cases.
6. The seller will then receive an email back showing which test cases were run,
what shipping methods were allowed, etc. This would be roughly analgous to what
is reported via the shopping cart display.
7. This would not involve actually taking any items out of inventory, nor creating
any real orders, but would be a test case simulation of that.
8. The seller could retain those test cases for later reuse, as various parameters
are modified.
thank you, Nita Rae
