I'd really like to express, before I've had my cup of joe on this fine
morning, how much I appreciated the people (yes all the people) here on the forum.
After receiving emails of encouragement, critic, praise and ideas regarding this
posted suggestion, it struck home for me just how many read the forum without
participating.
There are many more eyes on your posts than you might think

Thank you! That's exactly the thing i wanted to say.
A little more complicated, but without the intense spamming:
BL builds in a kind of public tender system.
Buyers can then issue a tender by adding their WL (or parts of it) and defining
how long the sellers can participate (5 days, 30 days...) and who can participate
(worldwide or just particular countries, only sellers with minimum 99% praise
and so on).
Then the sellers have the possibility to add items to their offer (from their
inventory and/or by adding it "manually") and to adjust the price if they want
to. Until the offer is accepted/rejected by the buyer or cancelled, all items
in the offer are "locked".

Good input. Great thoughts!

Cory,
I have read through this thread and it appears that there is lack of transparency
for sellers on what parts buyers need, what parts sell well and so forth. Personally,
I have a lot of wanted lists that I have no intention on fulfilling. Many of
them are remnants of what I was interested in at a given moment and I personally
just have not gone to delete them for various reasons, mainly being a low priority.
This problem alone would create a lot of dead end work for the seller trying
to fulfill a wanted list that the buyer has no intention in fulfilling. There
are many other practical reasons for wanted lists that buyers use them for, to
serve as a reminder of parts to look for in stores when they need to pad their
cart to meet minimum, but not necessarily an critical item they need to buy.
Those could be just nice to have parts if an opportunity arrises, so as not to
pay additional shipping just for those part(s).
Having been a seller, I understand the frustration of what to stock up on, and
I know the main advice is quantity, variety, highly desirables and high turn
overs. The problem is that Bricklink attracts people from all sorts of corners
of the world with wide range of needs.
The other problem with Wanted lists and stores is that even though the Wanted
List search function looks for stores with say most unique lots or a combination
search, the buyer is still tasked with trying to find a combination of stores
with best value (cost of parts vs cost of shipping). BL used to find stores with
cheapest cost, but I believe that was removed soon after it was implemented,
as in a long term it was causing price erosion for sellers, which is a valid
concern.
All in all, it's a balancing act of sellers and buyers doing their part,
with the sellers obviously carrying the financial burden of cost of inventory,
time and labor. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. I have carried
the burden for about 2-3 years, and I got burned out.
I think seller's tools would be very welcome for sellers in understanding
what parts sell well in their store and what parts are up rising/falling in demand.
Obviously with such tools, it would create more fierce completion amongst sellers
to provide best selling inventor, which in turn would change the behavior of
buyers and ultimately the demand of parts. Essentially what Youtube is currently
doing by changing their algorithm, which is changing what people watch and changing
the game ever so frequently.
I no longer have much at stake in selling, but as an infrequent buyer, I still
use this site and change is needed to keep up with expectations of both buyers
and sellers.
|
Good read, Miro. Astute.
Thanks for your well-thought-out input.
Kinda miss your voice around here. Your posts are infrequent nowadays, or maybe
I'm just not looking in the right places

Let's leave it at that. Speaking as a buyer, I am all for hanging up a WL
for a month to see higher quantity listings.

Can't go wrong in quoting Aristotle.
In fact I think the phrase should be adopted as a motto of the forum, to be hung
across the top of the page. It would be a beacon of idea, for forum users. Sadly,
I don't think many of the "regulars" would embrace it as their credo. For
too many of us, the guiding beacon is 'being right' or more succinctly,
'not to be perceived as being wrong'
I will say after reading your posts for some time, you don't seem to suffer
the same frailty of character. I think I posted some time back "who is this masked
man" out of admiration of your character. It might of been you, there are actually
several forum regulars that display such grace, just not all.
Anyway, we are taking a drive through the Northern Cascades, hopefully today.
Gotta get my coffee on, and my offspring up and going.

I'm surprised that as frequent of a user you are you took twice as long to
get to the point I got too. The best way to deal with trolls is to not feed them
(though I do fully understand this snack I'm writing to you will be eaten
readily)

Trolls are misunderstood creatures. It’s just not acceptable to use their identity
in a derogatory manner. It’s racist or something? Like, OMG 
Sorry, just an attempt at humor 
As to the name calling “troll” I don’t mind that you do so, Crystal. Nor did
I mind when Sylvain replied to my posted suggestion, by opening-up with the signature
Sylvain Slam...
In my opening statement
"an idea that briefly visited my headspace some time ago"
Sylvain’s opening statement in reply:
"No, no, you tempter, I won’t ask if it felt alone in there!"
You may have noticed (that is if you haven’t overly used the ignore feature)
that all the others that posted their honest thoughts and critics, received only
honest, positive replies, or no reply from me. I try to be positive and build
others up, but some simply need a spanking (not in the way you're thinking,
Sylvain! I like you, but not in that way )
I don’t mind the banter, and I still enjoy reading your inputs. I am sorry you’ve
been tamed here in the forum, I miss the old Crystal. The one that expressed
her strong unabashed opinions. Can I please say hello to her again. Can she come
out and play?
To those that have no problem using the ignore feature, I would encourage it
be used on my profile. For a self-serving reason, though: it's just one less
sourpuss I'll have to deal with in my posts, is the way I've seen it
for some time, now.

Once again, make up your mind.
You said you didn’t want to consider my opininon because I’m a non seller, neither
0- nor “enough”- (whatever that would be) FB buyer. I thought that applied to
all non sellers, neither 0- nor “enough”- (whatever that would be) FB buyers,
or even all buyers-only.
Doesn’t that fall under the phrase “me and my kind”?
|
Sorry my pet, I don't know what you're babbling about here in your sleep

Here is what I actually said "I really don't know if I'll take your advise
on this particular question, as earnestly as I would some others here. You've
got no skin in the game, as they say."
| |
And now you’re saying I’m alone. So it’s only my opinion you don’t want to consider?
|
Alone As stated clearly, it's opinion from those that actually "have skin
in the game" (something to lose or gain) and experience that I'll take more
earnestly than your opinion, in this matter. If by alone you mean the only one
that fits the aforementioned description to reply to the post, then yes, I guess
you are alone, for now anyway
| |
So, either you don’t want me-and-my-kind’s opinion or you don’t want my opinion.
That’s not my feeling persecuted, that’s your dismissing my opinion.
It’s your right not wanting to care about someone’s opinion but, besides being
inconsistent with first having asked everyone’s opinions, you can’t both say
you don’t care about someone’s opinion and then deny you said it.
And, by the way, stop giving me names. I’m not your pigeon or any other pet.
That’s condescending.

Hmm, let’s see if I understand correctly.
Now, the buyer can search the stores that have the most items for their WLs.
They need to actualize their search from time to time to see if new sellers /
better matches appear.
And you’d want that search to be automatized so that the buyer receive a notification
for their whole WL?
If that’s it, when will that notification be sent? When the WL is X% fulfill(able)?
— If X is too high, many WLs will never have such a notification.
— If X is too low, that could make for a lot of notifications.
Or do you just want the search to be reversed, that a seller actively search
for WLs they can fulfill with their inventory?
Here again, percentage of fulfillment could be what makes it useful or spamful.
Anyway, I’m not sure it’s very different from the already existing WL notification
system except it would be for several parts at once, not one by one.
I rarely use that, indeed because that would cause too many notifications for
common parts and it doesn’t tell me if the seller has other parts, so adding
that multiple parts feature could be interesting. Though I’m not sure I would
opt in: it’s as easy to make a search from time to time.
A related question: Can’t sellers easily see on how many WLs their parts are
so that they can decide when to send notifications?
I mean, do you have to browse all your inventory part by part to have this info?
|
It's sounds like you've been working on it, keep it up!

Agreed.

brings to mind an idea that briefly visited my headspace some time ago:
A type of reverse want list. That is, a way that sellers could peruse the current
want lists to specific buyer's needs, to then as a seller, proactively engage
members like Wayne with offers on items they have on their want list.
Kinda like amping-up the want list and selling process, by getting the sellers
more involved in increasing their sales by actually selling
It's just a rough draft of an idea. Limitations, restriction and other refinements
of the idea, expected.
But hey, BL shot-callers, it speaks directly to upping the sales numbers!

As long as I could opt out of it, I would be all for it. I don't need sellers
spamming me with offers of things on my want list.
|
Of course, always the ability to opt-out, I agree.
Very good input, Randy

included Lego games. Over the years Lego has produced many games: chess sets,
mazes, Heroica, etc. Is this omission an oversight or is it because there is
little market for used game sets? In either case, I felt disappointed in the
absence of such a category.

It’s as Michael (Hurt) posted, with missing print. I don’t think it’s “worn off”
too clean. It's not uncommon with earlier Lego modified heads produced in
China. It seems their QC was not on par with other production sites of TLG

I've noticed their ink often doesn't take to their bendy heads. 9 years
of bustling between bricks and it's gone completely. If you look at the listings,
you'll see it's a common issue.

Whoa! That house elf appears to have suffered a stroke.

My dog, Chili, looks like just Dobby, so this is naturally going to be his new

I loooove it.

Yes. And a beautiful color it is, IMHO

I'm surprised others haven't answered your question, we've got some
very smart and catalog savvy members here in the forum. So I'll chime-in
with my piteously limited catalog knowledge
There are more "orange" colors including trans-colors, displayed in the two screenshots
below. But if you're asking about available orange colors for the part shown,
I don't know without spending time in the catalog researching it. Of the
top of my head and IMO, Medium Dark Flesh falls within the orange spectrum, and
is available in part displayed.

The Catalog Associate position is the same in terms of privileges as our former
Catalog Admin position. However, it is only a temporary position that we will
use as a stepping stone to the new Catalog Admin position, which will include
both catalog and inventories privileges plus a few other things.
Marek recently completed one year as an Inventories Administrator:

Another excellent choice! And a job well done, getting Marek to take it on.

What’s in a name? That which we call a combo set, by any other name would sell
as sweet!
Sorry, couldn't help it. Had no TV in my apartment when I was young. So it
was come home from work, run the boardwalk, shower, dress, walk to the deli for
takeout and walk across the street to Balboa theater to eat. But the hiccup was
that the theater played Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet for nearly a year straight
before switching movies. To be honest, I didn't mind as a romantic young
idealist. Cried like a baby
I think I still know most lines of that Shakespeare play

That's cool, I like stories about life like that.
Years ago when me and a friend rented a house, for entertainment all we had was
a VCR but no TV so we had hook it into my computer screen to use it. When it
came to movies our choices were limited to a wide variety of one movie, 'What
About Bob' starring Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray.
We watched that movie soooo many times that we became really good at memorizing
all the lines and we would play a game where one would say a line or just a word
or two and the other one would guess where in the movie the line or word came
from. We played that game for years after that.
The simplest things in life can create some of the best memories.

Timeo hominem unius movie.

I can see a contemporary Thomas Aquinas type applying that statement to movies,
today...and they'd be dead wrong, saintly or not
