I think there are so many categories right now that they are very averse to creating
more. I'm doubtful that a suggestion that would add more than a dozen new
categories is going anywhere.

I finally realized that once I submitted a new inventory, it is relatively easy
to edit it.... this is not obvious to a new inventory submitter.
Every time I went back to make a change in the submission form I lost all my
work, which is frustrating even for a little polybag, I can't imagine how
disappointing it would be when submitting a large set.
Maybe a warning on the form not to go back, but instead to submit the inventory
and then edit it would be helpful....

Sorry for my bad english, but this idea I really want to share with you 
I think that Bricklink need functionality for sellers to offer Promocode additionaly
to coupons.
Coupons can be used just by registered users and mostly work with returned buyers
But promocode functionality is a reason for seller to grow up his social network
auditory and could help to bring more new users to bricklink.
I think it should work this way:
Seller can set up many promocodes at the settings.
He can chose the % or fixed ammount for each promocode.
He can set up it same way as coupon (for parts or sets / new or used / additionaly
to current discounts or not / how long it will work for buyers (should be possible
to set up permanent promocode))
On the forum should be special Topic for promocodes. It will work instead of
forum messages like "coupon for each who write me here"
Promocodes are realy good working strategy for social marketing and also can
be added to the bussiness cards or to the store page or many other places.
How do you think about it?

I think that is a great idea and I would think that it would be quite easy to
implement at the checkout page.
Great idea!

Do you think a feature will be added in which when you part out a set you can
add in how much the set cost and then the system would calculate how much was
paid per piece? It's a pain adding it in individually especially when you
have over 300 items! It would be nice if a feature like this also worked out
how much each part cost based on how much they sell for (depending on if you
picked current average/6 month average etc). For example if you bought a set
for $20 and it had 4 parts equally the cost would be $5, however if two of the
parts average was $10 each and the other two were $1 each having a cost of $5
for each part wouldn't make sense. Having to work that out for each part
by hand is just way too time consuming, but if the system did it on part out
entry it would be awesome.
|
This will only work if parts always have the same cost price in each set, else
you would have to make separate lots for the same part (there is only one mycost
field per inventory item).
|
Then it could offer 3 options, a bit similar to remarks:
Old mycost
New mycost
Average mycost
|
Those options are already provided during part-out, except it is not average
but quantity_average: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1109&q=my+cost
The option is only shown if you have the "mycost" input fields enabled in your
store settings.

Yep, I proposed this several times. It should let you enter what you bought it
for, then it can calculate a profit ratio, and with that profit ratio it can
calculate your selling prices for all parts back to their cost prices. In order
words: If you bought a set for 10 and the part out uploads 20, you know that
50% is profit, so if a part is uploaded for a selling price of 0.32, the MyCost
for that part should be 0.16.
The MyCost field seems to be a feature that was never fleshed out, just the field
was added but it doesn't really do anything. Under the previous management
it wasn't developed but maybe now that LEGO runs the show they might actually
look into it

Use Brickstock to do that.
|
BrickStock doesn't have an option to calculate / add the MyCost per item.
|
I've read it's easier to add the costs on Brickstock and upload the file
than entering the costs one by one on Bricklink.

In Suggestions, Teup writes:
| | I've never quite understood why you are not allowed to set the minimum order
of a shipping method lower than the minimum order of your store. It's annoying
because if you have 10 shipping methods, then anytime you want to change your
minimum order, you need to also change it 10x in your shipping methods, for no
real reason, because the "master setting", the store minimum order value, should
determine it already.
However, it seems it's also causing another problem: Buyers can use the bypass
password to get around the minimum order, but it does not help them go
around the minimum order of the shipping methods. The result is that anytime
a buyer used the bypass password, they are able to order but unable to select
any shipping methods. So there will need to be a manual invoice.
I'd propose removing the restriction for shipping methods to have a minimum
order value that is higher than or equal to the store minimum order value - in
fact, I'd propose for shipping methods not to need a minimum value at all.
That should solve everything I described without any side effects.

What you are really asking for, is a method of taking an abstract collection
of official LEGO parts, and generating a BL compatible upload to a wanted list.
It doesn't have to be those figs, but they are a good example. It could be
for any abstract MOC.
I wonder how difficult it would be to run this on another site, and query the
BL catalog via the API ?

| Thanks Nita for breaking it down like this. Another user suggested just that,
and linked Bricklink's instructions for generating such a list.
I'm going to explore this more and see what I learn. Obviously best-case
scenario is having this process available on Bricklink. But as many have pointed
out, there is a lot of red tape with an official LEGO site.

Here is a picture of what I had in mind. The entire "Wanted List" portion may
need to be removed because of copyright issues.
In the very least, it would be cool to browse Purist Custom Figures, and see
what official parts they consist of.

This is not going to happen. As one of the other catalog admins already stated,
there is pretty much a 0% chance that anything custom will not get added to the
catalog.

That should have read "there is pretty much a 0% chance that anything custom
