  I got a message from one of my customers with the problem, according to him revalidating
his address in Bricklink solved the problem!
So go to https://www.bricklink.com/pref_address.asp

That would be awesome if that worked, but we will still lose customers who don't
read the forum and just leave. It needs to be fixed asap.

Yes, there are a couple of posts about this, exclude BL from your virus scanner

  Dear BrickLink members,

As we announced here:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1270750

there is downtime scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday) from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EDT
(BrickLink time).

At this point, the Brexit release is a GO.

Thanks,

The BrickLink Team

This deployment has caused the Orders API to spit out a 500 error causing a lot
of pain and suffering to those of us that rely on that API for daily store management.


Can you please publicly acknowledge that this is an issue and provide updated
when this will be fixed ASAP?

Not sure if this is related, but when I click on the 'My Inventory'; drop
down and put in a part number, nothing happens, it just goes to a blank page.
If I want to amend, for instance, a 2x2 brick, I've got to type '2x2
brick' in the search box, it won't do anything if I put the part number
in.

Can this be sorted please Admin?

Do you have AVAST or AVG by chance? there seem to be issues with those virus
scanners atm.

Excluding BL might fix it.

We've got AVG Free on the PC, but it hasn't updated since last week.
Has the latest BL update caused this then? The order summary page seems to
be working, its just putting actual part numbers in the search box thats causing
issues.
Claire

UPDATE: It seems AVG is the problem but I can't work out how to fix it and
I cant find any information on AVG website.

I don't have AVG, there is a dialog somewhere in the app where you can exclude
things it should not scan.

This appears to have been fixed - or at least bricksync is working again anyway!

It works for some people, not for everyone.

It isn't for me, just checked after your post.

This is where BrickLink is supposed to post a "we are aware of the issue and

Russell is the only one to check the forum and he seems to worn nights. smh

I did just mail the tech director at BL, also tweeted about the issue to them.

Someone must know there are problems, right?

I'm guessing these are pretty rare, as I can buy 1 - 2 of them from sellers
here. The issue is that the shipping alone is going to kill me. I need 8 of them,
and was wondering if anyone had 4+ they are willing to sell me for a fair price.

Reply if interested.
Thank you,

They are only in two sets from 2014.

  Is anyone else having problems using the BrickLink API today?

Maybe related:
There was this message on the Studio forum: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6480
In short: you need a recent version of Studio or it won’t be able to communicate
with BrickLink because BL is ditching TLS 1.0.

Thank you, this was the exact issue. TLS 1.0 has been deprecated/replaced by
Bricklink, I needed to add TLS 1.2 to my code and it started working again, did
not check if TLS 1.1 works or not since it is deprecated as well.

I haven't tried connecting yet because Ive been working on other things,
but the API documentation is not loading anymore. Glad to see at least that connections
are working.

The API documentation has moved: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/api.page

They did update the link, reverted it again, and haven't fixed it since.

Thanks so much!

Hello,

Check out BLS Manager for some stats/analytics.

It has inventory sell-through numbers (when data is available), sales, inventory,
and store stats.

https://inspacesoftware.com/blsmanager

Let me know if there is anything you need that isn't in the app or needs
improvement. More charts are in the works.

Hi

When exporting orders in CSV file format the columns do not match the data anymore.

Can this please be fixed, and would it be possible to include the color ID so
that I don't have to extract it from the Item Description (which is a pain
for color names that have changed).

Kind Regards,

Erwin

  It would be nice to see what items are on the most wanted lists. For example,
I was looking at the goat and noticed it's on more than 3000 wanted lists.

Maybe I have something stashed away that people really want. Also, it would
be nice to filter the list to average price or category. I probably don't
need to know that black technic pins are on 581291 Wanted Lists.

Does this feature already exist?

I don't think there is, maybe Brick Freedom runs backups, else contact BL
and see if they can help you somehow?

Good luck.

  Our shop abandoned using the order details page about 5 years ago in favor of
a homegrown version. It would be nice if BL offered an alternative way of showing
the order items similar to this (I intentionally say "alternative way" as I am
sure there are many people who don't want to have this page changed).

Our order detail page shows each lot as a little picture of the item, with "amount
ordered" - "new/used" - "item ID" - "color" below it, and "inventory left" (see
first pic) (we also have a red border around "new" items to have them stand out
as we mainly sell used items). The page shows 10 lots in a row, and when printed,
shows 10 rows on the first page (so 100 lots on the first page), and 120 lots
on subsequent pages.

Also, with just one additional field in the "order items table" (called "status"
or something similar) you can add some serious useful functionality to the order
details page. When you pick an order with the BL order details page, you can
use the check boxes in front of the items to keep track of what you picked. Until
you (for whatever reason) refresh the page. Boom. All checks are gone. With that
additional database field, BL can keep track of the "status" of an order item.
We use 4 different statuses - "none", "picked", "packed" and "error". In the
first pic you can see the first two items shown green ("picked"), and the other
4 items white (status "none").

Using this database field makes the "colors" ("statuses") of the lots persistent
- you can break for coffee and continue where you left off, you can load the
order on a different device etc.

At the top right we have a quick view of the state of the entire order (see second
pic) - this order has a total of 44 lots, all lots except 4 have been picked,
and no errors found. If you were to add a second field to the order items table
(something like "note"), you can add notes to a lot. See third pic - here we
have a lot where there is an issue (status is "red") with an indicator at the
top-left of the item pic which corresponds to a note at the bottom of the order
details page.

We use a print of this page as our picking list in our orders - no serious deforesting
needed, and annotated lots when there is the occasional issue.

Just some thoughts in case BL wants to revamp the order details page. I am available
if BL needs some technical assistance.

(We don't use the "remarks" field for order picking as we have our inventory
stored by category, but it is easy to change what is shown below each lot picture.
Also, our version packs some more functionality, like if you click on the picture,
you get a popup with the an overview of that item in all colors with amount sold,
amount in inventory, links to inventory history, appearance in sets etc - there
is so much functionality that can be added to the order details page.)

If anyone has any questions or need more pics, feel free to shoot me a message
(and no, this "product" is not easily portable, so we can't supply it to
other shops right now).

Niek.

I'd love to see more pics or chat about what you did to make things easier
and quicker to work with. I am working on a store manager myself and my order
list/picker looks a lot like the BL one, you can also close it and open it on
another device without losing progress (or even pick with multiple devices).

Already thanks for the insight into your system, it is really helpful!

Kind regards,
Erwin

  I'm new to the Bricklink ecosystem, including selling. I've gotten the
Store API up and running to help drive my personal inventory software and replace
the Rebrickable API I've been using up until now. Because Bricklink maintains
records for parts with sticker and for assembled minifigs this switch is critical
for me.

However I'm running into one roadblock - how to programmatically download
the full Part List and Set List. I see in the API docs that the only Lists I
can access are colors and categories. But for items I seem to need to specify
the item number.

I have manually downloaded part list and set list from the Downloads page but
I can't figure out how to do that using code.

I've noticed that the program BrickStock updates its database automatically
which makes me think it's possible to do. Is it?

Hi, I don't think you can You can only get all sets in your own inventory
and use:

Get Subsets(Part Out): Gets a list of items that are included in the specified
item

What I have done is make a BrickLinkBrowser class that can log into the BL website
and download the required files from the download page, this gives me a full
part/set list.

Maybe I have overlooked something, I am not at that part in my project yet that
I really need it.

  Hi there,

Do you think a feature will be added in which when you part out a set you can
add in how much the set cost and then the system would calculate how much was
paid per piece? It's a pain adding it in individually especially when you
have over 300 items! It would be nice if a feature like this also worked out
how much each part cost based on how much they sell for (depending on if you
picked current average/6 month average etc). For example if you bought a set
for $20 and it had 4 parts equally the cost would be $5, however if two of the
parts average was $10 each and the other two were $1 each having a cost of $5
for each part wouldn't make sense. Having to work that out for each part
by hand is just way too time consuming, but if the system did it on part out
entry it would be awesome.

This will only work if parts always have the same cost price in each set, else
you would have to make separate lots for the same part (there is only one mycost
field per inventory item).
