  For the variants listed on this page, they really aren't that important,
and I would rather BrickLink members simply forget about them, in the same way
that thousands of other variants are not even known by people.

This is such a shortsighted statement regarding the preservation of Lego and
its history. I would like to gently remind you that BrickLink exists as it does
now thanks to the efforts of countless Lego fans who tirelessly documented the
piece variants in sets that have only become rarer today. Merging entries and
thereby erasing them removes that history, and disrespects the work that said
fans put into this website, and only makes it harder for fans of Lego to ensure
that they are getting what they paid for. I can’t believe an admin on this website
would prefer we forget that history in favor of a handful of sellers who complained.

That last statement was right in the spot!
I'm a collector and I'm very worried about the merge.
One thing is good out of this, maybe I can now lose my "sickness" of
Lego, of having the perfect copy of a Lego set from the past and ultimately sell
my collection.
If you favour sellers you will lose buyers...
Very bad decision, in my pov, but then again it's business and I don't
have all the data to know that "this is the way"😅.
Cheers!

My 2cents.

  Hello guys,

Can someone check this store 613 Bricks (https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=613)
The prices are insanely high and it will break the purpose of the avg prices.
Example:
Queen Anne's Revenge
Lot ID: 288191095 Item No: 4195-1
Price:
US $64,990.00
(~EUR 59,700.8515)

Please investigate.

Thanks.

  Nothing much to add, besides that I wanted also one and didn't have the chance
to get one, because it was sold out in no time... Hope they will make it available
again...!

We are all on the same page I guess...
No Castle...
