| Thank you for help so far. When I search LUGBulk for "3484" it doesn't
match anything.
I don't think LUGBulk is competition since LEGO owns Bricklink?

Thanks, no I meant 5 studs deep (from front to back). Nicolasamico37 already
gave a good answer with set examples. Thank you again.

| Can anyone name the Architecture sets that are conveniently 5-studs deep or shallower?
I'm giving one of these white display cases from Ikea to my nephew with a
LEGO set to display inside it.
Thanks

| I may be naive, but I am under the impression some sort of filter already exists
behind-the-scenes. That is, an "alert" pops up somewhere for Catmin to investigate
a forum post - and this happens without us ever noticing it.
Example: A while back someone wrote something like "Our American president is
lazy and clueless." That post stayed awhile. So I replied, essentially, "F-U."
Then BLAMMO! Entire thread canceled - thank you very much. I suspect my vulgar
reply generated the quick response.
But then again, maybe it was just coincidence and I'm being naive?

| Above the [Submit Order] button, when placing an order in a store, is the "legally
binding contract" clause. It states in part, "...Failure to to follow..."
Funny, I wonder how long it's been there?

Neither of these options updates the page to show the [X] checked invoice, indicating

|
| I vote NO.
I realize (as usual) I am alone on one side of the debate. But I am very against
this. Let me count the ways...
1) Too much work. BL is already labor-intensive, for admins, catmins, moderators,
and those who upload. Watermarking would be a major undertaking to add on.
2) Not worth it. You can argue "intellectual property rights" all you want,
but at the end of the day, who cares?
3) Won't benefit BrickLink. There's simply *NO* competition website for BrickLink.
So the "benefit" would be only in your mind, not in anybody's pocketbook.
4) LEGO images. Let's be honest here, people. We all know BL contains a boatload
of LEGO images. Any automated system on BL's end would be blindly watermarking
- taking ownership - of images it does not own.
5) Community. You want Peeron and other "friend" sites to use the images? Watermarking
kills this.
6) Appearances. I just don't want to look at a bunch of watermarks. BrickLink
is a seriously image-heavy site. While the purpose of BL is buy and sell, the
real-life daily use of BL is staring at images. I'd find them very annoying.
7) Blocking the subject. With all of BL's thumbnail images, I can't imagine
watermarks not getting in the way of business. When I look up a 2x2 plate modified
- where is the watermark going to be placed? If it's in the corner of the image,
then it's pointless. If it's over the 2x2 modified plate, then it's hindering
my use of BrickLink.
8) Past ownership. Now, I personally have uploaded only 1 image ever. But I
really don't want my one image watermarked. Think about the BL user who has
uploaded 800 images, and is happy with them. How is that person going to feel
when those images, years later, are watermarked? If there was a "watermarking
rule" at the time of upload, then a user had the choice. I'd be irked, personally.
I never read any past threads about this subject. So I apologize if I repeated
others.

YES, that's a whole new suggestion right there. I vote YES to that too.
A few times, out of kindness, I didn't leave any feedback. But I had to stare
at that "alert" reminding me of missing FB for those orders - for like 6 months
until they were purged.

| | In any case, if you really want to do this, you can, with a combination of BrickStore
and Excel.
Download your inventory into BrickStore, and save that in an Excel format. Then
use BrickStore to set all prices to the 6-month average, and save that as well.
Now use Excel to paste the data into one spreadsheet, write a simple formula
to calculate the price differential, and sort by that column.

Yeah, that doesn't sound complicated at all [end sarcasm tone].
The data is here, on BL. I'm permitted to read it. Why not package it more
easily for me to read?

the market prices.

Yeah, I'm not talking about price-fixing at all. I get other messages there
which I routinely ignore: Lots marked for deletion in catalog, Haven't yet given
FB, etc, etc. This would be just one more for anyone who didn't want to use
it.
Of course, a MUCH HANDIER link would be a full graph/chart listing all my lots,
and their prices compared to the average: +13%, -4%, +22%, +12%, Equal, -15%,
etc. SORTED by %. I would look at my highest and lowest priced items and consider
modifying them. Many people would not care, but I would love it.

Okay, but still, this message could be implemented elsewhere, delivering the
same info. A special link [My Price Comparison] or whatever. Same idea.
Me, personally, I want this information. Why shouldn't the BL system
give it to me? Save countless hours of clicking around?

My solution shown here. Hey new Admins, please consider adding this feature.
See my photoshopped red text in the image. This would be awesome.
(and personally, I'd love to know when my items are 25% or more below
average, too)
Thank you,
