Hello
Can you add some kind of automatic notification when some product is on sale?!
That contact you to your mail.
My case, I want to buy box for one set that I have, but at the moment there's
no offer of any kind, but there was and I didn't buy it. Now I'm waiting
for another offer(s). But do not always watch what's on.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Marko

I think it would be good to have a setting in the forum for sales notifications
to avoid seeing notifications of sales from stores that don't ship to you.

Especially as some of those sellers provide valuable non sales posts and therefore
don't want to block them and not see any of their posts

While not many people encounter using the macro tags, it is often very annoying
to have to constantly acknowledge that you know your macro tag has no set colour.
Perhaps a way to turn it off in settings could be implemented?

I am always amazed at the large number of minifigures Lego has or had released.
There is Penny from The Big Bang Theory (wish I knew her last name),Nesquick
Bunny,lots and lots of Star Wars, and so many more. But there is holes that
they have complete missed. The ones I would buy are: any Barbie figures, Mr
Clean, Betty Page, Randle McMurphy, Norman Bates, Inspector Clouseau, HAL, V,
any Star Trek, ET, Sarah Connor, Terminator T-800, Katniss Everdeen, Keyser Söze,
Ferris Bueller, The Man With No Name, Forrest Gump, Ron Burgundy, Ellen Ripley,
James Bond, Ariel, Ghostface, and others. Lego should really consider these.

When accessing the colour guide [https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp]
and clicking on parts for a certain colour [this one is for coral {https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&colorPart=220}],
shouldn't the images at least be the right colour? Currently (at the previous
link), it just shows the default image colour but I think it should show in the
coral coloured image.

Thoughts?

At the page https://www.bricklink.com/catalogStatsSold.asp?orderNew=U&itemType=P
I find the statistics here to be very helpful. I feel a way to improve the feature
dramatically would be to add a drop-down menu to select part catagory and color.
So you could select lime and see the top 100 sold lime parts, select plate, modified
and see the most sold plate, modified parts, or select both plate, modified as
well as lime and see the most sold lime plate, modified parts.

Inventory sorting prompt has a selection for Sort items by: "Item No, Color Name"
and since you only see "Item No" in reference to "Set ID" when you click "Edit
More" link, change either the "Set ID" to "Item No" or vice-versa, to be consistent.

Hello,

I just had a seller messaging me about why for over a week I didn't approve
their quantity change as a bunch of pieces were missing.

- I had visited my profile every day but had no notification of some sort showing
me that a request for me to take action was pending, I red dot next to a link
to that quantity change approval page in the column orders would have been enough
for me to notice something was waiting for me to do something
- I had no message from seller, which is not a technical issue but in my opinion
a mistake from the seller
- I had no alert of some kind on the order page itself, there was no red box
on top of the page with a blinking arrow next to it, telling you to click somewhere
if you wanted to go to another change quantity request page
- The status of the order had not changed, it was just saying "pending", the
same status it has after you place an order with request for invoice, I was expecting
it would have a status of some sort, like "awating buyer quantity change approval"

I however had a mail from bricklink bot (in my spam obviously) telling me about
this pending piece change approval

So then I went to the page to approve the change, but there I had a weird table
not clearly stating what the quantity was that I had ordered and what the actual
quantity change request was, it showed one number but I still don't really
know if this was how much pieces I would get or how much pieces were actually
missing, so I just blindly accepted everything and guess I will need to wait
for the order to arrive to know for sure what I will get

Don't get me wrong, I love bricklink, I mean I placed +-200 successfull orders
the last 4-5 years (and got only scammed once where I paid 200 euro by IBAN and
never got anything), so it is not that I write you all this because I'm raging
behind my desk and swearing at the bricklink admins or product managers
I'm a developer myself and I know how much work it is to build something
like bricklink, so I understand why things are how they are, but still I thought
it was worth mentioning those things that in my oponion can be improved, just
in case they are not already on a todo list

Submitted for your consideration:
I would like to see an option for my wanted lists so that I can set my wanted
lists to show 100 per page instead of going in and changing all of them as I
use them. Also I would like to see the wanted lists would by default list the
parts alphabetically no matter what item per page setting that I use.
Thanks for listening, Rich

To avoid issues such as what we mentioned yesterday why not get Bricklink to
add to the stores terms page a variant policy statement from the store. I am
sure we will see everything from no policy to a complete novel, but at least
it is something that can be looked at by potential buyers and it may even add
clarity to the current situation.

We very strongly believe this is a stores responsibility and not the buyers.
A buyer should have confidence in the fact they are getting what they ordered.
or a notice from the store to alert them they aren't.

Of course mistake can and will happen but if a policy statement is at least on
the mind of the store maybe it will help them to focus

I do agree that buyers, if concerned could ask for details but of 6 stores who
were asked none replied is not a good result.

My suggestion is to add a checkbox to the Store Filters where you can select
stores that are VAT enabled.

Reason being that if you buy as a business you can reclaim the VAT, which obviously
doesn't fly for purchases from private sellers.

So essentially this would allow businesses to find other businesses more easily,
save on their cost price, and increase their liquidity. Finally, this results
in more investment, more Bricklink transactions and potentially lower sale prices
to their customers, because they don't have to compensate the 21% difference
(in case of Dutch VAT) in purchase cost.

I could go into more detail with example calculations of course, if required.

It would be really nice if you could just type "lbg" or "dbg" instead of "light
bluish gray" or "dark bluish gray". Saves a lot of typing time ...

Aren't there any shortcuts for colors??

After updating the Wanted quantity of a part through the wanted list modal on
a set inventory for example, I had the negative surprise of finding out the Have
quantity had been reset to 0.

Reproduction steps:
- Add a part to a wanted list, set the Have quantity to 1.
- On an inventory featuring the same part in the same color, click on the Add
to Wanted list heart-shaped link.
- In the modal, select the wanted list, the existing Wanted quantity shows.
- Change the Wanted quantity, click on the Update button.
- Go back to Wanted List.
- The Have quantity for this part is now 0.

I created a default list of approximately 800 items. The auto select returned
7 stores. I placed orders in the first 6, the 7th would not let me as the seller
had a limit of 3 lots per sale. My order with him was comprised 139 lots. He
has not responded to messages asking for a bypass password, an option he offers.


It would be nice if the auto select could either allow you to exclude particular
sellers, those with lot limits and/or provide some warning up front that a limit
exists prior to placing orders.

I have had to recreate the subset of items in another default list to only now
have another 5 carts created, one of which is the offending store.

I am unable to complete my in a logical manner. Were I able to manually do so,
it will be at significantly increased price do to the added shipping/handling.
I had 4 or 5 projects I was trying to complete. None of them can occur now.

Please add a metric, that would track per buyer (and seller), the success/failure
rate, of orders being delivered as intended. This is different from Feedback,
as it implies no blame to the buyer (or to the seller) but would help to indicate
which buyers (or sellers) are having order delivery issues.

The information would only be available to the two parties involved in a transaction
(and obviously to the Problem Help Desk). This metric only applies to order delivery,
and not to order accuracy.

I've made it a habit to count a selection of drawers periodically. Personally,
I track what and when I counted on a spreadsheet, but it would be nice to be
able to enter this in my inventory.

I'm not sure if other users would find this useful or not, but I could at
least bring this up to see if this could be relevant for other users.

So the suggestion is to add another field (could be date specific) that kept
track of when you counted those Remarks/locations. I know the Remarks field could
be used, but a separate one would be better in my opinion.

Thoughts?

When looking at a Catalog based list of lots/offers, if a seller has an extended
description, there is a 'more' link to click. That link does not display
the extended description, it merely takes you to the seller's store and displays
that listing without the extended description, then you have to click 'more'
a second time. That click results in a modal style overlay that shows the extended
description.

Please change this to show the modal overlay on the Catalog based list of lots/offers,
and only require one click of 'more'. It should improve/reduce the number
of store page loads.

Note that this might actually be a technical, or design, issue, but I'm putting
it under Suggestions for now.

thanks, Nita Rae

Perhaps I've missed the settings, but in case they are non-existing I thought
to suggest the following:

It would be great if every post has a country flag next to the subject on the
Community page. This applies mostly to posts with store promotions and discount
announcements, as you can instantly tell whether the post is relevant to you
or not.

Typically I write (NL) with the post to let people know that way, but most sellers
won't do this.

Please add the ability download Store Settings, as an XML file.

In particular, the Shipping settings (a/k/a the various Shipping methods) would
be a great help to be able to download. When I need to make a change across all
similar shipping methods, it is tricky to keep track of which have done and which
have not been done (a byproduct of having to go back to the list between each
change). A download would allow me to review all the shipping methods, side by
side.

On a box, which contains antennas and flags, there was this image of a tiny house.
I never found a building instruction.
Has anybody tried to find out what it could have looked like from the back side?
I tried it and this is my result. Any other design proposals?

From the color guide:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp

You can go to see parts in all existing colors except (Not Aplicable), but you
can if you modify the URL:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&colorPart=0&v=3

So just update that page to include a link to that one missing

I wasn't thinking and recently ordered 13 sets worth of bricks all at once
to try to minimize the price. It's been rough sorting through everything.

It'd be great if, at least after doing the auto-select stores to build out
orders, on the buyer's side the orders were labeled with which wanted list
the part came from and the quantity.

Let's say I have wanted lists A and B. A has 100x 2x4 black bricks and 100x
2x4 white bricks. B has 100x 2x4 black bricks and 100x 2x4 red bricks. I go to
buy, select A and B, and auto select stores, which then gets broken down into
2 orders, one with 200x 2x4 black bricks, and 1 with 100x 2x4 white brick and
100x 2x4 red bricks.

The first order would have a note next to the 200x 2x4 black bricks that said
something like A:100 B:100, and the second order would have A:100 next to the
white bricks, and B:100 next to the red bricks.

Most stores provide information on what they use to ship, and it tends to be
pretty standard - USPS, DHL shipping (for international), et cetera. Information
on the average range of ship times for those shipping methods are available on
the site of the shipping method. So why not add the ability to filter for those?
Or, at least, filter by shipping method?

Next Page: 5 More | 10 More | 25 More | 50 More | 100 More
