  I guess you could just order them and tell the seller you don't want the
extra parts.

But the total weight will be higher. It will require manual effort by the seller
to remove the items and so on.
Also with instant checkout, the order might be in a next, more expensive weight
band .

I looked in each menu, and did not find settings related to the "Items For
Sale" menu. I was able to change the defaults for the "Price Guide"
menu, but I want to change settings for the "Items for Sale" menu.

You cannot set such a filter in the "for sale" / browsing menu. It has
been asked for many times but never acted upon.

Hover over the My BL icon at the top of any page. Select "Settings" which
is on the right of the dropdown menu. Go through each one and set your preferences.
The shopping settings will allow you to choose either USA or North America.

Once you have set your preferences, you should not have to recheck them each

Sigh. I'm sorry I confused people with the charity part. Forget the charity

I DO understand the reason for a min. buy.
The main part is really simple: add an amount of money to an order without actually
ordering extra items to reach that min. buy.

I guess you could just order them and tell the seller you don't want the

It's not!
Re-read?

* people would pay extras to the seller without providing BrickLink fees on
sales,
which isn't correct,

* shops will then have silly competitive prices (down to zero), but will simply
ask for "an extra donation of 10€"

* what about taxes, are this donation dubject to VAT, Sales taxes, whatever?

* PayPal: will not allow partial refund, so the donation will be refunded in
case of problem...

etc.

Solutions:

* buy in good shops with no minimum, like, ermmmm... mine

* buy the minimum because it's what the shop seller wants.
He doesn't want more money for the same order, just a "better" order.

It's not "a threshold": a minimum sale is a minimum.
It's a policy, a term, a choice from the seller.

Euh, it's still a treshold you need to reach before being able to buy. But
it's just discussing the meaning of words now.

Millions of problems with this proposal, which wants to ignore people ask a minimum
sale *for reasons*.

"Millions". Really?

But as I have answered just now in another reply:

I'm sorry I confused people with the charity part. Forget the charity part.
Or even the term "donation".

The main part is really simple: add an amount of money to an order without actually
ordering extra items to reach that min. buy. Just to be able to buy the part
you really need, without forcing you to search for extra items raising the shipping
fee, while still satisfying the seller having his min. income on the order.

My suggestion is really simple: add a "give-extra-money" (or "donation"

Let's say I have 3.75 USD in my cart and the min. buy is 5.00 USD. I just
fill in 1.25 USD in the "donation" box (a sort of a "special service
product" to reach min. buy treshold while still keeping the same weight
and dimensions of my order.

You could even think about linking the extra money to a charity. If the seller
would configure his shop saying he allows going under min. buy treshold when
the buyer pays the gap to charity (preferably managed by BrickLink, so the surplus
is automatically donated to charity).

  Can’t you just contact the store?

Also, if a seller wants to do that, they could remove their min buy and put a
fee for small orders instead.

They could even make custom, weihtless items for that: “PDF instructions for
charity X” and give instructions for a very simple model.  It could even be a
real model related to the charity.

A lot of effort for a single store to make, when the feature could just be "in
the platform" for the seller to use (if they want to).
Besides: you would need a lot of items for various prices to complete the gap.

As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to tell BrickLink to save my preferences
on the "Items For Sale" menu. See screenshot for context. As a result,
every time I open a product listing on BrickLink, I have to go through the same
6-step process:

1. Set "Seller Ships To" to USA
2. Check "Instant Checkout Only"
3. Click "More Options"
4. Set "Seller Location" to North America
5. Set "Seller Accepts" to US Dollar
6. Click "Search"

It would be much more convenient if BrickLink would allow me to set my own defaults
for these fields.

Voted No.  I think lots of new buyers come with a project / Wanted List and need
to buy from multiple stores from the start.
BL is already complicated enough for new buyers.

I see now that BL already has this optional feature as a seller protection: "Show
only Instant Checkout methods to new buyers". This solves my problem, and
I will withdraw my suggestion.

Voted No.  I think lots of new buyers come with a project / Wanted List and need
to buy from multiple stores from the start.

Would it be possible to add a search function in the collection screen to help
find pieces or sets a little easier as well as adding a few more organizational
categories to the collection page. I.e. (recently added, quantity...etc.)

Thanks to everyone for all they do.

It would be create if i can filter my wanted list (besides country, new/user

I would like to have this feature, because i want to know if the seller can sell

I too, as a business, want to search for stores that have VAT enabled to order

Thanks for moving this suggestions .. this should not be that difficult to implement
right

VAT sellers SHOULD provide a proper more or less legal Invoice showing VAT.

And if it's not a pro, or a pro without VAT, then the Invoice shows no VAT
- at least.

In short, I'm not sure what you mean.

Frankly, as a pro, I'd like something that shows sellers with VAT that are
willing to provide an Invoice WITHOUT VAT to pro sellers (of a different Country).

Few pro sellers are refusing to remove the VAT in this case.
I'm not sure it's even legal, I tried to find the info in EU laws but
failed to - so be it.

In short, a sign "B2B no VAT Invoice available here" would be a nice
addition.

I put it in the tracking field (that I don't use).

Addition: and I use this field as a macro/conditional tag to show it in the Invoice
email.

We use the tracking field for other notes - when the order has been collected
prior invoicing, which carrier/website we used to get the best shipping cost,
when we are awaiting a reply from the buyer in regards to missing pieces etc.
All that gets replaced by the tracking number afterwards. The edit order/order
note feature for this is useless as the notes are not visible at a glance (require
mouse hovering), also require loading of multiple pages just to change the note
AND we can not update our 'notes' on multiple orders at once.

Besides, the location of that field is super convenient for this.

And no, we are not asking to provide us with an additional field - the layout
even with the unnecessary columns disabled is already too wide to fit on a Full
HD (1920*1080) screen. Hence the ask to have the VAD IT not as a field but as
an icon.

We do store the VAT IDs in the 'My Note on User', as well as the phone
numbers - so we do not have to keep asking the same customers for the 30th time.
But even if it would be possible to make that field show up in the invoice via
a Macro Tag - it would not really work because there can be different info in
that field. As is its intended use

They get sorted by color alphabetically, but that isn't how I store and pack
orders. I might find a piece in black and then at the end, go back to the same

Thanks,

You can change the sort settings in your "My Order Settings" here: https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

If you use the remarks field (as I do), you can sort by remarks and then it will
put your orders in order by the remark keeping you in the same picking section.

There is also a "Show Temporary Checkboxes" option.

Yeah, sorry, I was talking a bit like a journalist

AFAIR, the approximation algorithm should be in O(n²) or O(n³).  But it’s all
in the constant factors / operations (database accesses…).

Now, the way I see it is that you had n parts in your WL, and you end with n
parts + n sets or minifigure = 2n items in your WL (best case, when you only
add the “cheapest”), because the feature wouldn’t be useful/asked for if you
only had one part to look for.

Also, those n added items are substitutes: you aren’t looking for items, you’re
looking for couples (part OR substitute-minifig/set).  That’s another algorithm
altogether.


  I am not sure that the limitation on computing power is still a valid argument
nowadays.

The more resources we have, the worse we use them.


   The argument of complexity might be void if an AI is trained on the
full catalog data.

Maybe you would be interested in joining my new venture?
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1411695


   I would not expect a 100% best answer, but a suggestion like:
"You are trying to buy some parts of set X, have you considered buying the
set instead?" might be in the line of what the marketing people of Bricklink
come up with in the far future.

That could be done even more quickly when you’re adding parts to your WL by using
the part out page or from a minifigure/set inventory

There’d still be the problem of defining “cheapest.”

Cheapest is not so difficult to define, it is the actual amount you pay for the
item; the only uncertainty is the shipping costs in relation to the total order
amount as that adds to your total cost. And that only only when you have to compare
shop were this varies greatly.

What you do have to consider is the rest value of the assemblies you find. When
you need e.g. the arms and the legs, and both pairs are on your wanted list,
then both of them have value (But if the torso that's not on your wanted
list does have value to you? Nobody knows.) Even if you find a complete minifigure
to fulfill your need for arms, they also fulfill your need for legs. The value
of the legs for you is defined as what you are currently paying for those legs
while fulfilling your wanted list. It is cyclic, since when you find cheaper
legs, their value is less, and thus the complete minifigure might be not so profitable
to you anymore.

  If it’s about choosing a store (Auto-select…), “cheapest” is already complicated
(shipping, fewest stores…).  Anyway, the feature is nearly impossible:

Nearly impossible yes, but impossible no.
When I started the major part of my collection, I implemented this 'advanced
wanted list' feature in Excel. I did have to feed it with information about
all part compositions that I was considering (mostly the plain and HTF torso
assemblies and the corresponding HTF minifigure assemblies, in the hundreds)
and I did manually pre-select the shops I was considering (also in the hundred).
It was a lot of work, it was very complicated, but it did work.

  the algorithm
already cuts corners for items you (really) want, it won’t have the resources
to add substitute items, that would blow the search space exponentially.

Not exponentially, but of some order of O(N2) I believe. Still more than I'd
expect from Bricklink. Even simpler suggestions to make the wanted lists more
tolerant with regard to variants have been denied by Bricklink as being 'too
complicated for new users' and 'we don't want this'.

I am not sure that the limitation on computing power is still a valid argument
nowadays. The argument of complexity might be void if an AI is trained on the
full catalog data. I would not expect a 100% best answer, but a suggestion like:

There’d still be the problem of defining “cheapest.”

1. If it’s about adding the set to your Wanted List, then you may be able to
choose min/max/average/lot-average & for sale/6-months.  That’s 8 choices for
a definition of “cheapest,” coupled with New/Used/Any, that’s 32.  It’s almost
as complicated a form to fill as doing it yourself


2. If it’s “I have a part in my WL and I want searches to also give me the cheapest
minifigure(s) / set(s) that contain it,” it’s more complicated.

If you’re already in a store, it’s almost simple because the search is limited
to what the store has.  But I understood that was not your situation.

If it’s about choosing a store (Auto-select…), “cheapest” is already complicated
(shipping, fewest stores…).  Anyway, the feature is nearly impossible: the algorithm

The cheapest item is of course the item itself, but not all the stores have the
item itself. So if I find store that have all my wanted items except one, and
this part is in 3 another sets\minifigures in this store - I want to get cart
with all my wanted parts+the cheapest set IN THIS STORE that contain this last
missing part.
In this way, thogh the store have'nt the item I want "alone" - I
still have a "full" cart..

I think I understand what you're asking for now. In my experience, the cheapest
"set" that contains the item is usually the item itself, at least for
parts. I suppose BrickLink could add a feature to the wanted list buy algorithm
that searches not only for the items you want but any items containing them,
but I don't think the results would be much different.

Conversely, if you have a particular part in mind and want to see all of the
minifigures that contain it, locate the part in the catalog. Then, under "Item
appears in", there is a link that will take you to a page that lists all
of the minifigures that have that part in their inventory.

They don’t want to find the parts in the catalogue, they want a new feature (suggestion)
that would automatically add to the WL the minifigures and sets the part appears
in.
So that they wouldn’t have to do what you propose AND click add to WL each time.

The problem I see is that, if it were to exist, such a feature would have to
be limited to a few parts only.  (So, more work: make a list of parts or set
a threshold….)

(First part I looked
 
Part No: 970c00  Name: Hips  and Legs Plain
* 
970c00 (Inv) Hips and Legs Plain
Parts: Minifigure, Legs
is in almost 6000 minifigs and 4000 sets.
I didn’t even want to look at 1x1 plate (even with a set colour)

Thanks for the answer.


I know all the part's numbers\names.

I talking about "wanted list" (if I buy through the wanted list, or if
I search in specific store).

Let's say that I want to buy 3 minufigure A, B, C, minifigure2 and minifigure3.
I don't mind if they are "alone" (only minifigure A, B, C) or with
their items (collectible, A1, B1, C1). If I add them in both option to my wanted
list (6 minifigures: A,B,C,A1,B1,C1), I get store that sell the same minifigure
in both option (A + A1). But I want only to buy each minifigure one time, and
I don't mind if one of them is "collectible", and I want to get store
that sell each one in one option (A+B1+C, or A1+B1+C but not A+A1+B+B1).

Another example: I want to buy some parts that one of them is blue cape. If I
find one store that sell all the items except the cape, and also sell a minifigure
that contain the cape - that great...
(in that example, it really hard to add to my wanted list 50 minifigures that
contain blue cape, and in the search results ignore all the results that contain
more than 1 minifigure that contain blue cape)

hope it more understanable

If you're looking for a particular minifigure part, and you don't know
the part but you know what minifigure it's in, locate the minifigure in the
catalog. Then, under "Item consists of", there is a link that will take
you to the minifigure inventory which lists all of the parts in the minifigure.

Conversely, if you have a particular part in mind and want to see all of the
minifigures that contain it, locate the part in the catalog. Then, under "Item
appears in", there is a link that will take you to a page that lists all
of the minifigures that have that part in their inventory.

They don’t want to find the parts in the catalogue, they want a new feature (suggestion)
that would automatically add to the WL the minifigures and sets the part appears
in.
So that they wouldn’t have to do what you propose AND click add to WL each time.

The problem I see is that, if it were to exist, such a feature would have to
be limited to a few parts only.  (So, more work: make a list of parts or set
a threshold….)

(First part I looked
 
Part No: 970c00  Name: Hips  and Legs Plain
* 
970c00 (Inv) Hips and Legs Plain
Parts: Minifigure, Legs
is in almost 6000 minifigs and 4000 sets.
I didn’t even want to look at 1x1 plate (even with a set colour)

You could try the "Appears in" search field.
1. Hold your cursor over the Market tab on the top middle of your screen.
2. Click the "Appears in" link".
3. Under the "view appearance" button there is a link "Find multiple
items in inv." Click this link.
4. Fill in the form with up to 3 parts.
5. Right above "View appearance" you can select sets, parts, minifigures,
gear, or books.
6. Click the "View appearance" button. It will give you all possibilities
that those 3 parts can be in.

I hope this helps.

If you want particular parts of minifigs from Collectible Minifig series, you
should add them either individually or break the minifigs in the set or break
the inventory for the Collectible Minifig you're after.

It seems like currently there's a lot of manual work to add an entire set
of minifig parts and accessories from a particular Collectible Minifig series.
I don't see it changing anytime in the near future.

I would love to have the options in the search functionality stored. It was nice
to have a preference in the settings to display them without having to click
the link all the time but seriously, the options should be stored for user friendliness.
For the record I do work in software development.

  Hello Everyone,

In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.

Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.

The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017.
At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.

Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.

Sincerely,

Jaclyn
BrickLink Customer Support


I don't like the New wanted list,

I prefer classic must more compact and easy to read, and reliable

after placing and order, I click the wanted list symbol, using classic I find
it a lot easier to remove the items I have just bought

when searching items in the new wanted list layout I find some items do not list
the stores underneath them,

Let's make this all agile and stuff:

As a BrickLink visitor I would like to see preview images when linking to
BrickLink so my links to BrickLink are clear and comprehensive

There are formats like Open Graph (https://ogp.me/) and Twitter Cards (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/markup)
that enable previews in many common tools and platforms. Think of messengers
(like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal), team chats (Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams),
Social Media Platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter) and note taking tools (like Keep,
Notion, Dropbox Paper).

For example, I just wanted to make note of some parts for a project (not a MOC
or purely Lego). It would've been nice if I could have added BrickLink-links
to my notes and immediately get a visual overview.

It makes links much more valuable, useful and I bet it improves
click through rates
as well. It's also rather easy to implement
as it's about taking data that's already there, and putting it into the
meta-section of the HTML.

Thanks already!

I am not sure if it is possible, but I am wondering if it would be possible to
add an option to add parts with stickers when parting out a set.

Lately I have been parting out a lot of used sets to my store that have parts
with stickers.

Currently you can choose the following options: 1) Include instructions, 2)
Include box, 3) Include extra parts. I am wondering if we could add a fourth
option which is 4) Include parts with stickers and other counterparts.

This would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Evan

When parting out sets on My Collections, would it be possible to be able to add
stickered pieces instead of non-stickered pieces and a sticker sheet? It is really
time-consuming to do it manually.

Hi,
I have an idea for the buy option on the wanted list.
When there is a part made up of multiple parts (like 33172c01) it could also
search for 33183 and 33172 and add whichever option is cheaper.

  Just some facts, it may have to happen.

INFORM Consumers Act that became law in December.
From another 3rd party selling ap
Burke said the new law stipulates that, "for any seller who reaches an annual
total revenue of $20,000, xxxx is required to include your name or company name
and full physical address in purchase confirmation emails and order details."

I think this law is no problem because as soon as you place the order, you get
the seller details in your order.
In belgium if they are a seller with VAT-number, you can do a lookup and find
out the location of that company.
But then they need to have AND list the VAT-number...

a Suggestion to Bricklink:
when you check out a cart it already states under order summary:
Shipping & Handling
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650 (= my location)

If Bricklink wants it, they could change it to add a "from"

Shipping & Handling
from country, province, postal code (= seller location)
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650

= this would give an easy indication of the store location...

But I agree it would be so helpfull if you could search what stores are nearby.
Nearby your home, or nearby a holiday destination...

On the other hand, certain family members will be happy that this is not a feature..

  Hello !

OK, let's better explain :

#1/ Create a Wishlist from the set 31124 / Small Robot
-- you'll have Black / Dark Azure / Dark Bluish Gray / Light Bluish
Gray / Red / Yellow and Trans Yellow colors for 159 parts.

#2/ Open the wishlist and, into More Option, just select the Color Picker. You
have all the colors of the database...

So, according my point of view, I'd just need 7 colors into the selection
list.

Is this clearer ?

Thank you,

Vincent

Yes, now it is very clear.

What you see on screen is a dropdown list with all colors; this is part of the
user interface. This list apparently is currently not filtered on which colors
are actually present in your wanted list. You would like this list to be adaptive
to show only the colors that are used in your wanted list. Similarly to what
happens in a shop's inventory, showing only the categories and colors that
shop actually has. Makes sense.

I don't expect this to be implemented anytime soon though, as changing this
from a static list (= simply all colors in the color table) to a dynamic list
(= select all unique colors from your individual wanted list(s)) might be a burden
on the system (or the system's engineers).

It would be sooooo helpful. Is this possible to suggest this feature to the developers
as a proposal and wait for their answer ?

Thank you,

Vincent

Note that, by law, EU stores have to give their _exact_ location (IOW, their
address)… but you still need to check store by store.

BL has had a negative view of this for many years.

#2/ Open the wishlist and, into More Option, just select the Color Picker. You
have all the colors of the database...

So, according my point of view, I'd just need 7 colors into the selection
list.

Is this clearer ?

Thank you,

Vincent

Yes, now it is very clear.

What you see on screen is a dropdown list with all colors; this is part of the
user interface. This list apparently is currently not filtered on which colors
are actually present in your wanted list. You would like this list to be adaptive
to show only the colors that are used in your wanted list. Similarly to what
happens in a shop's inventory, showing only the categories and colors that
shop actually has. Makes sense.

I don't expect this to be implemented anytime soon though, as changing this
from a static list (= simply all colors in the color table) to a dynamic list
(= select all unique colors from your individual wanted list(s)) might be a burden
on the system (or the system's engineers).

Hello !

OK, let's better explain :

#1/ Create a Wishlist from the set 31124 / Small Robot
-- you'll have Black / Dark Azure / Dark Bluish Gray / Light Bluish
Gray / Red / Yellow and Trans Yellow colors for 159 parts.

#2/ Open the wishlist and, into More Option, just select the Color Picker. You
have all the colors of the database...

So, according my point of view, I'd just need 7 colors into the selection
list.

Is this clearer ?

Thank you,

Vincent

Can you explain better what you are trying to do? Maybe add a screenshot? Or
write in French instead.

  Most of my orders the post office has been good about keeping up with the tracking.
One seller took over 3 weeks before the post office changed status to received.
This was after trying numerous times to communicate with the seller

I agree that there are sellers out there that do not ship right away and will
mark the order as shipped before it has shipped.

The best defense to this is to read the store's feedback and see if other
buyers have mentioned "Slow to ship" or "Did not ship for over a
week". These are tell-tale signs that the seller takes their time shipping
out packages. In my experience, these sellers are also poor communicators.

Suggestion: Get rid of the XML copy-paste window entirely and just add it to
the list of all the other file types that are already supported for dragging
and dropping.

Other sites allow for XML files to be drag and dropped into their upload section
without needing the code to be copy-pasted. There are a lot of first-time custom
builders wanting to use the BL platform getting hung-up on this feature. As someone
who runs a webstore selling MOC instructions I can tell you this is by far the
most common question I get.

If you are looking at Items for sale, then there should be a "No minimum
purchase" check box that you can tick to view items in stores that have no
minimum purchase.

I'm not sure if it's the same as finding stores with no minimum buy,
but this should help you.

Cheers ...

Voted yes, but possibly make this a filter with a maximum amount you find acceptable
for minimum buy.

That would even be better indeed.
It's especially very annoying when you are looking to purchase only one or
two small items for a few euros (or dallors) and come in stores that have a min.
buy of 20 euro or more.
So indeed, the possibility to set a treshold value would makes sense.

If they are doing it, then add the same with lot limits too.

Both should allow the user to enter what is acceptable rather than complete exclusion,
as some stores have low minimum buys or high lot limits than don't really
affect placing reasonable orders.

Should be possible: there’s one with Auto-select on the Buy page (checkbox when
you start Auto-select to include/exclude stores when you can’t meet their minbuy).

Don't they also have far fewer shipping options for sellers though?

The owls site does have less setting for shipping options which is true but you
can still customize them decently for most things

Already in the rules at https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41
but not enforceable as the definition of 'shipped' may vary around the
world.

Also, without more in-between statuses, the work process of the seller may dictate
the time an order is flagged as shipped.

Also rural Canadian sellers (such as myself) would mark an order as shipped when
it’s safe in the rural mailbox, but it still has to be picked up by Canada Post
and scanned at a location. In my opinion, the order is shipped when it’s no longer
in the seller’s possession.

Some stores only ship once or twice a week. Read the store terms to see if they
say how often they ship orders. If you are concerned about an order, reach out
to the seller and politely ask if your order has been shipped.

As others have said, sometimes the courier does not scan the label in, and you
will not see an update until it has reached its next destination. This is particularly
true for first class mail in the USA.

I think that this is the closest that you will get:

who I have bought from far beyond any information on the order itself, and I
think it would be cool to have a map showing everywhere I have purchased bricks
from. Having it very specific and interactive would be neat, but even as simple
as state/country and number of orders would be interesting to see.

Buy a world map and stick a pin in everywhere you buy/sell too.

I had thought of that. My problem is it didn't occur to me unil however many
years later and I can't get the info now. Trying to recompile through my
feedback, I lose about 20% of my orders, but I know they know them all, somewhere.

Also it's way easier if they do it for me. :-p
