Yes, but let's say I want to buy 50 of something, and a store I'm shopping
has a lot of 40. I will buy the 40, and then I can change the 50 to 10 in my
Wanted List. However, if another store also has 40, but they're in 20 lots
of 2 each, I won't buy from that shop. I would get the same amount, and
let's hypothetically say that the parts were even the same price as the other
store, but going through so many duplicate lots is tedious and annoying.
Additionally, if a store has a large amount of duplicate lots, it really makes
me think that that seller is quite disorganized; disorganized enough that he
could make other errors such as being short on some of the parts in an order.

The assumption is bricklink is the best possible sales interface and inventory
management system. I couldn't imagine amazon running a successful business
using this inventory system. How many inventory locations does Amazon have for
one item. The difference is Amazon has an independent inventory for stock room,
reciept of goods, shipping, order processing.
|
Okaaay... I wasn't comparing Bricklink to Amazon. I certainly don't
claim that Bricklink's inventory management system is the best possible,
but it does let sellers eliminate duplicate lots and even warns a seller when
creating a new duplicate lot.

File an NSS (Non-Shipping Seller) alert and start a PayPal claim.

Do you mean the minimum order price (store minimum)? If so, it is under EDIT

| | I use the "Part Out" feature to create a wanted list with every part
in a set, then go through my collection and "find" all the parts until
I have enough to build it.
But the Counterparts (items with stickers or images on them already) never get
included in the list. So I have to go to the Bricklist set Inventory and add
them 1 by 1.
There is a tickbox in "part out" for "Extra parts" but not "Counterparts".
Often these parts have the same Part Number as the inventory but with a suffix
"pb001" or similar.
Is it possible to do what I'm wanting?
|
No, there is no way to add Counterparts from a part out. There is no system to
link them to the parts in the Regular inventory and therefore no way to ensure
you don't add duplicate items.
BrickLink should add a separate feature for this specific process. But that would
require new programming... it's not likely.
I would bet it can be done with Brickstore? Perhaps an experienced user can weigh
in.
|
I confirm, you do this and more really easily with BrickStore.
|
As an alternative (although it's more work), here's how I do it: The
sticker sheet is included in the inventory, so I look at that first, and pick
out all the stickered parts from my stock, deleting the to-be-stickered parts
from the wanted list. If I find everything, I also remove the sticker sheet,
if not, it stays there as a reminder to get the missing things later.
You could also manually add the counterparts from the inventory I guess, but
bricklink is notoriously unreliable with stickered counterparts anyway, so I
prefer the safe way...
Happy sorting!
