| Does this mean that we will have like a special tool to select a certain group
of parts to see if they appear in any sets? I don't know if such feature
is already implemented.
| | So we all have want lists, right?
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to take a want list and instead of looking
for stores that have all the individual parts, do a search against "sets" or
multiples of sets that have all the parts on a want list.
Everything needed to make this tool already exists on Bricklink.
Parts want list - check
Sets, parts inventory - check (the part out tool)
This function could be added to the Buy section like the distillers to get from
the fewest stores, or best price etc - add sets to buy that have all the parts.
Then a shopper could shop for complete sets to buy from sellers or determine
that they already have the sets in their own collection to build the MOC they
are shopping for pieces for.
Example: I bought the instructions for the UCS U-wing project by Mirko (Awesome
MOC by the way and beautiful instruction book)
uploaded the parts list 430 different parts 3300 pieces total.
I would love to know if I could buy 4-5 sets to get all the parts I need to build
the UCS U-wing project and the extra pieces could go in my collection. Certainly
there would be a handful of random special pieces to buy separately but it would
be cool to have the option of buying a few complete sets to get the majority
of the parts.
Just a thought and the development cost would be minimal since the hard parts
(set part inventories & want lists) already exist.

| Since I have the store, I've noticed that buyers generally don't know
what kind of work there is behind he preparation of an order.
the idea is to give the sellers the possibility to set up a "timeline" (even
automatically, as it happens with the istant invoice) shared with the buyer.
it would turn out as a more "amazon" experience; and help the buyer being calm
while waiting orders

This will bring up all of the matching items, and each has a link to view the

Still a few steps to go through, but the easiest way I've found.

Thanks! Seems to be the easiest way to go -- now that the fully automated

You can upgrade to seller and keep your store closed.
Or keep inventory on Rebrickable.com or with Brickstock.

With some additional option settings like 'order addon fee', and to allow

For now you can credit the second order and adds its value to the first order
as additional charges. Then you only send 1 invoice and buyer pays 1 time.

Long ago, you could request from Admin that the orders be merged and it would

I sort my parts using remarks too.
What I do, when parting out a set, is select the following options.
On the Part out screen, check the box that says...
"Consolidate lots with my existing inventory and adjust quantity of items that
are already in my inventory by using:"
Then select "Old Remarks." This will combine the lots, and keep your old location.
Once you upload the parts, you can then look at the parts in order of REMARKS.
Go to your inventory.
On the right enter the set number
Then once it loads, sort by remarks.
NOTE: If you have the option to keep your parts in your inventory when they are
sold out turned on, remember that they will stay in stock room unless you manually
change them, or choose "NEW STOCKROOM Option"
Hope that helps.

If there was a way to sort by remarks then we'd have the black part later

Open the set to part out in one file and your inventory in another. Choose the
set file, then "edit - Copy Remarks from Document" and choose your inventory
as source.
Now you can sort by remarks.
But in Brickstock there is a bug where if the source has the same part number
but different
color, it copies it anyway. So you need to check the file.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
I'll illustrate the situation.
Let's say the set has black plate 1x1 and blue plate 1x1 in it. In the part
out they'll be one after the other but in our inventory the black one is
stored in a large bin and not in the same part of racking as the blue one. So
we either have to put the blue part in its bin, go put the black part in its
bin then come back to the other part of the warehouse for the next part or to
put the parts that go in large bins aside and then do them once we get over there.
If there was a way to sort by remarks then we'd have the black part later
in our part out.

| | Hi,
I would like to suggest that "Date Listed" information be made available to a
seller on each "Item in Order" listed on an Order Summary. This is particularly
helpful when an entire lot has been purchased. Allow me to explain:
On several occasions, I have found the "Date Listed" information to be quite
useful when looking for a part that I am unable to locate in my inventory. For
example, when I see that I listed Part X last Tuesday, I might remember that
I put Part X in Tray Y, in preparation for storage. However, "Date Listed" information
is only available when an item is still in stock or in a stockroom. Once the
lot is sold, the information is no longer available (to the best of my knowledge).
Which puts one in an unfavorable situation if they have misplaced a part and
are on the clock for shipping an order out!
Such a feature might look something like the attached image.
Thanks for your consideration.

I see what you mean but the situation is as follows:
We take 50 sets of (SET NUMBER), part it out to our inventory and store it in
bins.
All the parts that we've already had in our inventory have locations in bins.
We want to put all the same parts in the same bins for easier picking.
If we sort by part name it mostly follows our storage system but not always so
we have to run around to different parts of the warehouse to put the parts in
their correct bins. If we could sort the part out by remark, we would have them
in the correct order and it would make everything much easier.

| Thanks for the suggestion. As you hinted at, I would end up with many lots of
zero quantity hanging around in my stockroom, which is undesirable. Also, I'd
like to maintain the ability to notify shoppers when I put new stock in my store.
If I retain, and simply change the quantity from zero to X when I add inventory,
there's no way to notify shoppers of the change.

| Hi Joel,
Thanks for the reply and recommendation. I also already use the remarks field.
As you might have noticed from my image, under the item description it says
"bin1". This is a code I use to direct me to an area where these parts are.
I suppose I could type the date onto every item I upload in the remarks box,
but if that information is already stored in the system by default, why not just
open it up to sellers?

I vote yes. I've misplaced some things that I uploaded when I first began

Considering that they are stoplisted, it probably should not matter any more.
The purpose of the stoplist is to stop them from buying from your store. It could
well be robots, but then it should equally not matter.

| I'd like to suggest a new feature for sorting inventories.
Currently, inventories can be sorted "By Color," which groups items alphabetically
based on the color names. I don't find this feature to be very helpful, and
I don't use it very often. Would it be possible/reasonable to add a feature
that uses the Color Guide list instead?
(i.e. sort as "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet;" not "Blue, Green, Orange,
Red, Violet, Yellow")

| | the thing I dislike most about ordering from this site, in how hard it is to
control the quality of the pieces that I get.
And I don't think loose pieces should be categorized between "new" and "used",
because all loose pieces are used (Yes I know you can order them individually
from Lego at times, but functionally when you buy lego it comes in a set, outside
of that set they are used).
What there needs to be is a grading scale, either number based (1-5) or description
based (Comics use words like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, etc; playing cards
will use words like Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Damaged, etc).
Sellers would be forced to classify all their pieces into one of these conditions,
and then I would be able to filter out conditions that I thought were unacceptable.
Create a clear cut visual guide for conditions, and award disputes based on that.
I sell cards on www.tcgplayer.com and knowing that buyers can win disputes if
I send them cards that are worse then they wanted, I make sure to put forth the
effort to accurately grade the cards when I list them. Yes it is more work, but
I have never once had an issue with a buyer buying a card from me that they were
unhappy with because of the condition.
In my first batch of orders on this site I got several pieces that were damaged,
etc. It was really frustrating, because when doing mass purchases on this site
it is seemingly impossible to filter out bad pieces, and when you let the site
build the orders for you, its hard to see and notice all the "notes" that sellers
put on their items.
So I don't feel justified in blaming a seller because I received two saddles
with broken clips, forcing me to order two new saddles, because they noted it
on their items. The issue here is the functionality of the website to convey
that to me, and allow me to filter their items from my potential orders.
I honestly would suggest you take a hard look at www.tcgplayer.com Coming from
card games, I was really surprised at how similar the process of buying/selling/collecting
individual cards/decks/sets is to Lego pieces/sets. Like, functionally they are
completely the same, and TCGplayer is a really well honed marketplace (nothing
is perfect), but learning from what they do right would greatly improve your
already fantastic site
|
At what cost are you willing to make this happen? If you were the one sorting/storing
hundreds of thousands of used parts you would have a clue. It is enough work
to store 2 sets of inventory and keep them separated along with occasional lots
of filler grade let alone 6 different grades (1 new and 5 used). If doing this
multiplies my time by 6 times guess where that will be made up? the price of
the parts of course. Maybe we should start a grading company to send the individual
lego parts to so they can assign a 3rd party numeric value to them.

Hi, You're speaking to people that have been doing this for a long time,
so try to understand they are going to be defensive and not be offended by that.
I have never had an order compiled by bricklink and to be honest didn't even
know that was a thing. Of the ten's of thousands of cards you have, what
percentage of them sell for under 5 cents? I've wished at times that there
was a way to say a part was discolored or had a mark or scratch on it but I wouldn't
know where to begin to put a numbered value on any of that. I think the notes
and comments on the parts does a decent job of letting people know condition
and the higher the value of a part the more description there should be. So for
the thousands of sellers, and the millions of parts, it really comes down to
communication and doing the leg work to not be disappointed.

If you have a clearly defined grading scale, it will not create issues. It doesn't
matter what a buyer or seller thinks a pieces grades at, it matters what category
it fits. Pictures can prove most of it.
It will take time yes, I do it for cards, its not super fun, but its not hard
either.
Its not so much that I think some set you ripped open and pieced out is "used"
and not "new", its more that I don't think "used" and "new" are accurate
descriptors for the possible conditions of a lego.
I have cards listed that are a penny, Like I said, cards and lego collecting
are extremely similar in concept and execution. Everything you guys have brought
up as a reason not to do this, was brought up when they implemented it with cards,
and they system has worked wonderfully.

Have you tried selling Lego pieces individually? Because if not, you cannot say
they are similar. Now I haven't sold cards before, but Lego takes a ton of
effort. Slight variations (groove/no groove, stud holder/axle holder, blocked-open
stud/hollow stud, etc. etc.) makes this a very tedious job. Let us, who have
been selling Lego pieces for years, assure you, who hasn't (at least not
on this site), that adding more conditions will increase the workload on us who
sell used pieces. Which will do two things:
1. Kill off some of the stores who now no longer find this worth the task.
2. Increase the prices of all pieces as sellers now need to make up for the extra
time they take.

People buy from BL with the idea that it's the same as ordering from Amazon.
"Free" shipping, delivery times of a couple days, no-questions asked returns
etc. are all now expected when ordering anything online.
I am on the Lego sub on Reddit and people there ask questions about ordering
from BL at least a couple times each week. The questions make it abundantly clear
that many new BL users do not understand that they are ordering from individuals
rather than from a giant company called BrickLink.
Thank you

You know what, you're right. I've seen the same thing on reddit and never
