Please, please, please NO. BrickLink color names are not perfect either, but
they make way more sense.

I second this.
Plus, to be honest, I'm not interested in relearning new names. The nougat
thing is already wearing on me.

| no offense, but it sounds like you may have some colorblindness issues that you
are not aware of. Red/green blindness is very common especially in men
The dark red tile is nothing like brown. At all. The only thing that can explain
this is your eyes.

of that.

Straw man.
People sometimes want the sprues to "complete" boxed sets. I see no reason not
to have a listing.

yeah well if the sprue ain't attached to the item it is no good when the
item still on the sprue can be bought, so your argument is pointless.

You are pleasant aren't you?
Lets start over. Hi, I don't agree with you. Respectfully.
I'm not saying I care about sprues, I don't. But people out there clearly
do so I should be considered.

yes they care about using them by themselves in MoC's just like there were
other sprues I used in MoC's like the ones for the gold coins, but like I
said this was already tried before to get that sprue into the catalog and it
was denied. when you are on this site long enough you see many suggestions come
and go and come and go and come and go. the best suggestion given at that time
for selling them was putting them into an unsorted type lot. but that was it.
|
Again, no skin in this game, was just making conversation. I'm always surprised
how seriously some of this catalog stuff is taken by people.
I know I personally would just sell them on ebay if it was a big deal to me.
I usually try to work within existing frameworks rather than change them, just
my personality. I understand that others are different

| | | NEVER find yourself with 300+ sets to restore all at once. I did this too.
It complicates the process unnecessarily. If you have a pile of 1000 parts that
contains 600 you need to finish 8 sets, you have a manageable problem. If you
have a pile of 100k parts that contains the 600 you need to finish 8 sets, you
have a long, long slog ahead of you.
You can not store all of the parts ever produced. Holding odd bits for the day
that they are needed is a bit like waiting for Godot.
Every set has one or two parts that are unusually expensive. If you can quickly
identify these and determine whether you have them, you will be able to decide
if it makes economic sense to spend even one minute restoring this version of
the set. Ditto for Minifigs.
|
Took the words out of my mouth. This is primarily what I do, and I don't
have 40 sets in progress, let alone 300. I usually finish one lot at a time.
If the set doesn't have the figs, I usually wont bother saving it depending
on what it is.
I try also to buy lots of similar themes, so I have easy spare parts without
having to have "everything that ever existed". I just need "most" of what was
produced 1980- 2000 in my case.
I guess none of that is helpful really to the OP's question. I personally
wouldn't bother trying to set up my situation to operate this way, I would
work on getting the number of sets I intend to sell in my possession waaay down.

| | Hi,
I would like to suggest that "Date Listed" information be made available to a
seller on each "Item in Order" listed on an Order Summary. This is particularly
helpful when an entire lot has been purchased. Allow me to explain:
On several occasions, I have found the "Date Listed" information to be quite
useful when looking for a part that I am unable to locate in my inventory. For
example, when I see that I listed Part X last Tuesday, I might remember that
I put Part X in Tray Y, in preparation for storage. However, "Date Listed" information
is only available when an item is still in stock or in a stockroom. Once the
lot is sold, the information is no longer available (to the best of my knowledge).
Which puts one in an unfavorable situation if they have misplaced a part and
are on the clock for shipping an order out!
Such a feature might look something like the attached image.
Thanks for your consideration.

I vote yes. I've misplaced some things that I uploaded when I first began
and was figuring out storage. There's been a handful of times this info would
have been helpful.

People buy from BL with the idea that it's the same as ordering from Amazon.
"Free" shipping, delivery times of a couple days, no-questions asked returns
etc. are all now expected when ordering anything online.
I am on the Lego sub on Reddit and people there ask questions about ordering
from BL at least a couple times each week. The questions make it abundantly clear
that many new BL users do not understand that they are ordering from individuals
rather than from a giant company called BrickLink.
Thank you

You know what, you're right. I've seen the same thing on reddit and never
realized that the posters just aren't understanding its a bunch of different
sellers.

| I dunno. I wouldn't be heart broken if you couldn't sell them, but lots
of vintage parts still have a market even if broken. I would like a third catagory
to put them in, though.

| | My vote is no, simply because it would be very hard to implement this.
I grade all my parts to some extent. Down to the cheap ones. It takes a massive
amount of time to do this. I don't think sellers should have to do this if
they don't want to. Also, what happens to existing lots? Sellers would have
to go back and grade everything?
That said I would like an additional feedback system similar to ebays star
system. So people can leave an opinion on service and quality without posting
a neg over something small.
Otherwise buy new and read feedback. Sorry you've had a bad time.

Sorry, SHOULD NOT have to do this is they don't want to.
