| | Hey all 
I was just trying to pull some Price Guide figures for some parts I wanted to
upload, using Brickstore..
Appears as though only minifig prices are being pulled, but none of the parts..
Could this be something to do with the merges thingy happening today?
... just MyTwoPence Bricks

Having issues uploading as well... glad to know it's not just me!

| Like many others, I'm late on commenting and read through quite a few of
the comments.
I am on the "please, don't do this side."
My reasoning is the same as many others. I buy specific parts to recreate an
older sets, and so the variant is very important. I can't resell an older
set from the 90's with parts from the 2020's. Nor would I want to buy
a set like that.
As someone who primarily sells used parts, I know how important it is for the
buyer that they get the right variant for their project. And I am willing to
take the time to sort out the variants knowing that the buyer will appreciate
my efforts.
Do I agree the variants have gotten a bit out of control... yes... but does that
mean I want to merge them all to save time for sellers/buyers who don't care,
no!
As many as said, this sounds like it's already a done deal and will happen
regardless of what people want, but just know that many of us do care and don't
like this decision.

Thanks in advance!

Top of

(Found it this way: it seems a subpart, I looked for 2579*, then 2578* and 2580*:
composite parts often have successive numbers.)

Thanks! Guess I'll hold on to them to see if I have the supports that are
missing that part.

| | Again, can Bricklink please do something about the way the mininum average lot
value is explained to the buyer? I am getting many messages about it and find
myself explaining the same thing over and over. Please improve these descriptions
in the interface. Maybe by including an example, and by changing the terminology.
As is evident from many forum posts as well, many fresh buyers don't even
know what a "lot" is supposed to mean, let alone they will understand the concept
of minimum average lot value.

As a seller, I get it. I have a small store, so I don't use this option,
but I can see it being useful for bigger stores that don't want to use their
time to pull orders with 1 - 3 part per lot. (I've spent hours pulling 400+
orders that had 200-300 lots)
As a buyer, it's a major turnoff for me and will usually back out of a store
that has this set up. When I buy, I am looking for just one or two parts per
lot to complete a set, so I never make the average lot amount.
Basically, I think this is great option for bigger stores that are selling more
bulk parts than individual parts. But not a great option for smaller stores
that don't have much inventory to begin with.
And to the original post - a better explanation with examples would be helpful
to the buyer.

Ok.
Not knowing exactly what you want except larger quantities of used brick, you
may well find it hard to narrow things down.
A large wanted list will always make finding everything much harder, but consider
these two examples.
1. I just searched for simple BLEY 1x2 brick (let's ignore that you might
prefer old light grey). If I want a minimum 0f 100 Used 1x2s I get 16 stores.
If I want 1000+ there are only 2 stores. This is all USA, but bear with me.
The cheaper of these is Brick-N-Brac. Looking at their inventory they are mostly
a Used shop. Out of 9000+ Lots the vast majority are used (only 67 New Lots).
Well I don't know this store and can't vouch for them, but they look
like a good Used candidate.
2. Use your Wanted List to find bricks. Again maybe not your example, but pretend
I want Used 1x2 BLEY Masonry Bricks this time. I have that on my Wanted List
as Used with a minimum of 50. There is only 1 store, Ace of Bricks, that has
50 or more of these as Used Lots.
If you extrapolate either case I don't see how you would not find what you
are looking for and especially once looking a bit also find some store in particular
that specialize in large quantities of Used parts.
Most stores I expect dealing with Used parts will not have large individual part
quantities. You are more likely to find variety in Used parts but less depth.
My 2 cents.
Good Luck with your searches.

I second this! (Also, side note... I've bought from Bric-N-Brac several times
- good store!)
I sell primarily used parts (hence the name), but only have limited amounts of
each part. Why? Because used bricks we buy are often scratched, chewed, marred
and faded by sunlight. So a majority of the bricks end up in a bin to be played
with by my grandsons. It's hard to find a bulk of unmarred used bricks and
other parts. We try to sell only the best, so that limits are supply.
