  I would really welcome a Bricklink Gift Card, e.g. for 5, 10, 20, 50 euro. Since
that would be a perfect gift for me as a AFOL Lego designer. So a gift card that
anyone can buy directly online from the main Bricklink page, without needing
a membership or login. Because the people gifting, are mostly not Lego fans themself.

Bricklink consists of thousands of stores.
Who should hold the funds for the card?

PayPal offers gift cards. Many sellers here accept PayPal, so that would be
an option.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 7814  Name: Crane Wagon with Small Container
* 
7814-1 (Inv) Crane Wagon with Small Container
105 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1980
Sets: Train: 4.5V

* Add 1 Part 3713 Light Gray Technic, Bush (Extra)
* Delete 2 Part x77 Black String, Cord (Undetermined Type)
* Add 2 Part x77ac30 Black String, Cord Thin 30cm

I have this in new condition boxed open with this catalog from 1981
 
Catalog No: m81ja  Name: 1981 Mini Japanese (112908-JA)
* 
m81ja 1981 Mini Japanese (112908-JA)
Catalogs: 1981

The good news is that it comes with
 
Part No: 3040a  Name: Slope 45 2 x 1 without Bottom Tube
* 
3040a Slope 45 2 x 1 without Bottom Tube
Parts: Slope {Yellow}
It has been few years I know that the transition to
 
Part No: 3040  Name: Slope 45 2 x 1
* 
3040 Slope 45 2 x 1
Parts: Slope
(with inner tube) happened in either 1981 or 1982. Now I am more convinced to
assume it was in 1982 since there was another set from 1981 with 3040a light
gray.

The two strings are of length 28.5cm and 29cm. So I could add either
 
Part No: x77ac30  Name: String, Cord Thin    30cm
* 
x77ac30 String, Cord Thin 30cm
Parts: String & Net

or
 
Part No: x77ac28  Name: String, Cord Thin    28cm (36L)
* 
x77ac28 String, Cord Thin 28cm (36L)
Parts: String & Net

I think this two entries should be merged since TLG never intended to produce
cords (and wires) the certain exact length.

  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)

  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.

K

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

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.

The actual helmet is the one on the attached picture not the one in the part

This actual helmet colour variation is nowhere on BL to be found.

This is the actual color variation from the set. See attached. I have 4 of those
sets and all minifigures have this same helmet:

Update: this should be the same helmet but the colour variation is ultra big
one on the left is bluish faded green and the one on the right is green more
like olive etc. Is this really the same item ? Should the colour variation be
mentioned in the item description?

Hej,
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

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.

  I kept following links until I reached your 2014 survey. Hopefully, my "Yes"

It was in 2017, 2014 is when I joined
But still, 3 years and I still give this explanation too often (already 3 times
this week).


  thanks for making my day educational.

the cost of the pieces. Maybe it could be improved to show parts from my store

Thanks!

On your My Inventory page you can click in the Search option for Items in a Wantlist.

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,

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.

667 Parts, 1989
Sets: Technic: Model: Construction

* Add 70 Part 2780 Black Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise with Center Slots (Alternate) (match ID 3)

Comments from Submitter:
Based on a reply (pm) to this forum question https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1203225

This set was first released in 1989 and was still being sold in 1993 catalogs. 1989 is about the time the mold changed on the pins, so it is definitely possible that early sets had the 4459 pins and later sets had the 2780. They would have been the thicker 2780 pins, most likely.

If you want to update the inventory you can submit 2780 as an alternate part to 4459.

Unless someone swapped them out because they are worth 100 times as much.

Who should hold the funds for the card?

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)

Hi all,

I recently got hold of a mixed batch of old technic sets and I've been working
to identify and separate the sets in there. Based on part counts and key parts,
it looks like there is a 8862-1 Backhoe in there with one exception. It look
like it came with 2780 pins (with slots) instead of the listed 4459 (without
slots).

Normally, I would say that the sets in the batch are are just too messed up to
be reliable but in this case, all the pieces add up, down to the last brick.
So my question is, could some variety of the 8862 have come with the 2780 pins?
If so, does the inventory need an update to indicate that?

Thanks in advance,
Ant

Comments from Submitter:
The main head type of the M-Tron figures was the Solid Stud Head in 1990. I've never found a set with Blocked Open Stud Head figure, thereby I think the current inventory item list is misleading for collectors. Please change it to Solid Stud Head if possible.

On the Catalog Roadmap located at

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

this is part of project #5 listed in the Projects Under Consideration section.

For now, this request will not be accepted, but it will be handled when that
project is undertaken.

Cheers,
Randy
