well when you have to click the button on the post then fill in the info and
click report that would be like a 2-step verification. my suggestion would be
to have the button on the post go right to the report function, avoiding all
those extra steps and such to get there. in other words the button on the post
would take you here https://www.bricklink.com/problemMessage.asp

Can you imagine the level of misuse such a convenient tab would allow for?
The Discussions Mods might have to give up their day jobs, considering the amount
of time it would take in filtering through the invalid to find the valid claims.
On the other hand, I could be wrong and if all the Discussions Mods were to call
for it, or at least back the suggestion, I’d say why not.

| The way i use my wanted lists, I don't want to flag a part as owned until
i get it IRL. As such i use remarks to keep track of things i have ordered and
don't have yet.
Ideally, a 3rd stat e of items on a wishlist would be added - something like
pending. However as that would be a significant back end change for the developers
of the site, i created my own tampermonkey/greasemonkey script to add links to
the my wishlist search for each given part on the order page.
So underneath the part/minifig/set image is a link to search my wishlists for
the given item in the given color. That way when i make an order i can click
through for each of the items and update just the remarks for the parts across
all wishlists.
a feature like that would be really helpful and should be fairly trivial to add
to the codebase. (particularly using server side code instead of scraping the
info needed for the links from content already on the page.

Yeah.. I had a call with the team recently and I urged them to do this. Luckily,
they said they were already working on it, which is great.
I do hope they'll do this very soon, it has taken a long time now. BrickOwl
has iDeal and Sofort through Stripe, and also in my webshop it was extremely
easy to implement with Stripe.
This is important for everyone, because Stripe allows you to accept foreign payment
methods without needing to know how it all works. The NL is one of the biggest
countries on Bricklink and all sellers will benefit from it if people can pay
by iDeal. IMO this is really one of the top priority issues right now. PayPal
is way too expensive and just not convenient for everybody.
It would be beneficial on Bricklink's side as well. There will be more business
so more fees, less money leaking out to PayPal, and also it will vastly increase
the percentage of payments that is done onsite - which is what Bricklink really
likes to see.

| I've found a workaround.
Merge my wish lists. Then I can apply my orders on it without risking to update
the same part more than intended. (Which could happen if you apply an order on
multiple wish lists containing the same parts.)
But the merge feature doesn't allow to merge wish lists having conflicts
(same combinations of piece&color).
Though, I realised it's possible to merge them by uploading a list and add
its pieces into another one. When there is identical items, it will combine them
additionning wanted quantities together, and owned quantities together.
To merge wish list "B" into wish list "A"
1) Download list "B" (as XML)
2) Use "Upload" from the "Want" menu
3) Select "Upload BrickLink XML format"
4) Copy & past the content of the file B.xml (produced at step 1)
5) Select wish list "A"
6) Click "Proceed to verify"
(review the result)
7) Click "Add to Wanted List"
(optional: rename list "A": "A & B", and delete list "B")

I use another website to track my overall (loose and in sets) parts inventory;
BL is just not designed to do so efficiently.
That said, I also have maintained separate wanted lists here on BL for parts
that I've received, for a specific MOC or custom set: when the parts arrive,
I simply copy-and-paste from the want list to the "received" want list, and then
remove them from the want list. When all parts have arrived I now have a list
of them all for that custom build.

| Hello,
I'm currently struggling with multiple wish lists, and updating the owned
parts with my orders, to keep track of how many I still need.
My lists often share the same conbinations of pieces&color, and this prevent
me from applying orders on more than one, without messing the overall count.
(This also prevent me from merging my lists.)
I think it would be great to be able to apply an order on multiple wish lists,
making sure pieces applied to a list aren't applied to the other ones.
You would have to specify which list is the first one, the second one and so
on, and the algorithm would apply the order to the first list, then the remaining
pieces to the second one, and so on.
An alternative feature would be to be able to merge lists which have conflicts
(same pieces&color combinations). Why not addition the wanted quantities, owned
quantities and concatenate the comments? It should be fine with a message explaining
how it deals with the conflicts and asking for confirmation.

| 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.

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.

For example the use of multiple filter capabilities would be superb for the order

If you look at the image I have attached you will see what I mean. It is a natural
element of SQL and when we had goatleg and miniconfigurator that is how both
of them worked (with some modifications)
It really is not a difficult feature to add and would save hundreds if not thousands
of hours work on behalf of the stores for a small amount of time for developers.
Anyone else feel the same?
The 'and/or' filter is a great tool - is easy to learn and use and with
the catalogue getting more and more complex and populated with data this is really
a must.
BTW - we would have expected something like this in the long delayed (and probably

| I wish Bricklink would take a closer look at Brickstock and incorporate at least
some of the features that exist there.
For example the use of multiple filter capabilities would be superb for the order
detail page as well as lots of other areas e.g. part identification etc.
If you look at the image I have attached you will see what I mean. It is a natural
element of SQL and when we had goatleg and miniconfigurator that is how both
of them worked (with some modifications)
It really is not a difficult feature to add and would save hundreds if not thousands
of hours work on behalf of the stores for a small amount of time for developers.
Anyone else feel the same?
The 'and/or' filter is a great tool - is easy to learn and use and with
the catalogue getting more and more complex and populated with data this is really
a must.
BTW - we would have expected something like this in the long delayed (and probably
forgotten about) sellers tools

| We've been parting out and listing a lot of sets lately and we use the remark
field to put in the location in our inventory system.
One thing that slows us down a lot when storing parts is that there is no way
to sort the list by remark. That means that we have to run around the warehouse
to put parts in their correct spot and it's a big waste of time. If we could
sort the part out by remarks then we wouldn't have this issue and it's
very likely an easy fix on the side of the site.
|
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
in our part out.

so i understood correctly.
Yes, this can be done with brickstock with the method i described.
If you need any help with brickstock you can write me a message.

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.

| 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.

| That's indeed very useful info. But your problem can be fixed: Use the Retain
option. That way empty lots stay in your inventory. This is also useful when
you turn out to have more of a part than was ordered/listed. Simply delete zero
quantity lots from your inventory once in a while (if you wish)
In Suggestions, speshy writes:
| 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.

You can easily delete all stockroom items with just a few clicks.

| I'm not sure if this would be helpful. On the inventory page you can use
"Search My Inventory", check off "Remarks" and "Any Part of Field". In the Keyword
field you can then enter your storage location.

If needed you can also enter a specific set number further down the page.

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.

Also I as stated at first, while in the shop it says 100/100 items available
but you don't know if there are duplicates (sometimes it would show 102/100
and even miss few items.

I think it would be confusing to be in a store and see parts that are not in
the store.
Besides, what would you do with that list while in the store? You need to go
to another store or to the Buy page to find said other store anyway.

Hej,
I would add them to another wanted list so I can easily find another store with
most of them. I think my idea kinda fits how bricklink works and adds another
option.
You buy page think is usefull but I can't even click the little boxed items
to buy them alone.

Would it be possible to show a quick list of items that the shop doesn't
have in a given wanted list ?
Say I have 100 items in any wanted list. While in a shop it says there are 90
available but it's not easy to know which arn't. Plus some duplicate
items and in reality it's just 80/100. So I'd like some option to show
me what's missing.
|
Use the Buy page, find the store in the list (if it has many parts you want,
it will be on top), and use the Wanted Item tab as explained here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1202227
(In short: click near the store name but not on the store name.)
