Talking about 1st World problems ... sheesh
With all due respect to the (to me) borderline autistic fetish for part variants
some people seem to have, I cannot comprehend that of all the technical issues
and necessary adaptations due to changed international commerce laws to this
platform, this issue gets so much attention. It simply baffles me.
I can go as far as understanding why it could be important to a small group of
avid collectors but to expect a platform with over 1.6 million users to compromise
its functionality to adhere to the rants of a niche minority within the very
small minority that is the group of BL members that actually use the forum is
going too far IMO.
I think it's safe to say that these changes will be a headache less for the
bigger fish among the sellers here.

| I personally applaud this idea. The amount of "variants" that don't
show any functional difference is becoming absurd IMO and I can only imagine
the nightmare for the bigger sellers when parting out sets these days, changing
a fully automated process into a hard manual labour.

| I don't know whether I'm just not seeing it, but is there an option on
the My Inventory page to set all your items (or all items of a certain category)
to the 6 months sales average or general average of items for sale?
Or is that only possible using external software like Brickstore?
Thanks for any replies.

| Are you being serious???
An experienced seller (+5000 fb) obviously has no care for product quality and
has the audacity to send such filthy parts and you think it's due to "human
error"?
It's just rude is what it is and he deserves the negative feedback IMO.
Btw, shame on you for comparing this to punching someone in the face, just for
dramatic effect.

Why?
Because if a seller make a honest mistake with your order, you would directly
ruin his/her reputation so they would prefer to avoid any trouble before it happens.
Just my 2 cents.

For each of these sets, only one minifig is shown in the “instructions” (missions)
of the set. There’s no instructions on how to use the other minifigure parts.

Maybe not “just you” but “not me.”
The images are on another server (file.bricklink.info), maybe a security setting?
An ad blocker?
It’s the same for the images in the Studio Gallery: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/gallery.page
Can you see them there?

| Depends on the demand of the items you have for sale though.
You could have the smallest store on Bricklink and still ask the highest prices
on this planet if what you're selling is rare and in demand enough.

Pricing at 6 month average is quite high for a small store. Bigger stores can
get away with pricing higher, smaller ones not so much.

| Quite an interesting read, this thread.
Such strong opinions well in advance of anything being implemented ... just,
wow.
Seems some people are forgetting they're making a living of RE-selling the
product of a company they have absolutely ZERO part in their intellectual property.
This wasn't the case when Dan was in the lead, nor is it now with Lego itself
at the helm.
We are all, sellers and buyers alike, using a sales platform that's in the
hands of the very creator of our beloved hobby. Everything, and I do mean everything,
we do here contributes financially to TLG.
What kind of mental world do some people seem to live in that they think they
should have control over this platform which they do not own?
Seems to me Lego is going quite far in communicating with the Bricklink users
via the various panels, news letters and forum posts. I don't know many other
companies that do this in such a way or could be bothered to.
It even seems to me Lego is quite willing and patient to listen to our opinions
and input.
I can imagine that a lot of the need for (technical) changes on this platform
is happening too slow for a lot of people whose income heavily depends on the
operation of the website and that this is causing a lot of frustration.
But when I'm starting to see posts of people being angry about not being
personally involved in certain (pilot) projects and calling the proprietor of
the whole business a "liar" because they want to basically better sell
their product and tend to the needs of their customers in an ever evolving way,
I tend to lose interest.
It's a pity that this forum over the years has become mostly the sound board
of just a few dozen members that seem to mainly air their (perhaps sometimes
justified) frustrations.
There are well over 1.3 million users on this platform, of which over 60.000
sellers.
Seems to me it's a pity we always seem to hear from the same few "loudest"
users when it comes to these matters.
I'd rather see 20 replies from 20 different users than 20 replies from the
same person using the forum to air their frustrations.
Oh well, rant on I guess.
I'm personally looking forward to this new project as I think it's a
brilliant oportunity for some of the creators whose creations weren't selected
in the BDP to have their sets end up with potential fans of their product.

| Is het ook niet deels te verklaren door het feit dat er de laatste tijd enorm
veel nieuwe sets door Lego zijn uitgebracht waardoor mensen meer van hun
"Lego budget" uitgeven aan Lego zelf ipv bestellingen op Bricklink voor
specifieke onderdelen?
Tel daar dan nog eens het BDP bij op en veel mensen zullen hun budget al grotendeels
gespendeerd hebben.
Los daarvan denk ik dat deze markt stilletjesaan wat verzadigd begint te geraken
... als 100 verkopers elke dag een bestelling ontvangen zal dat niet meer het
geval zijn wanneer er 100.000 verkopers dezelfde soort goederen verkopen ...
Als ik dan specifiek uw winkel bekijk zie ik niet meteen zaken die hoog op verlanglijstjes
zullen staan of in grote aantallen voorradig zijn.
Tot slot zie ik dat wat de sets en minifigs betreft je sinds november niets nieuws
meer hebt toegevoegd. Zou het kunnen dat je gewoon de meest gegeerde items van
je voorraad reeds verkocht hebt en dat de stroom van nieuwe klanten sowieso wat
opdroogt?
Ik spreek voor alle duidelijkheid uit eigen ervaring: ik merkte vroeger ook altijd
dat wanneer ik een lading nieuwe items te koop aanbood ik enkele weken / maanden
een continue stroom aan klanten had, maar eenmaal de meest gegeerde items verkocht
waren je als kleine winkel "verdwijnt" tussen de hoop professionele "big
time sellers".
Indien je dus klanten wilt blijven aantrekken zal je ofwel continu nieuwe (gegeerde)
items moeten toevoegen aan je voorraad of je prijzen verder laten zakken tot
"dumping niveau" (wat ik niet aanraad; je prijzen zijn al goed gemiddeld
ingesteld).
mvg,
Erikk
