I can see your point in this, but please understand that not ALL postal services
are geared the same way as the US's
Here in the UK, we can purchase "Track and Trace" on top of the normal shipping
cost, and this often enables packages/post get delivered the next day.
The size of the UK enables this to happen, and I am aware that the size of the
US doesn't allow for that service to happen.
Am I right in understanding that the US's postal service provides "Tracking"
on postage bought on-line?
Maybe your suggestion would be amended to be that instead of 'insurance',
the Tracking service should be provided instead?

| | | | Hi Paul. Tracking is different and not affected by this suggestion. Nowadays,
almost everything in the USA has tracking. And tracking is being offered on
more international parcels too.
So, to address your concern, this suggestion will not affect your ability to
offer tracking in the UK. That is something completely different.
Thor

Right, so if Tracking is now commonplace for most of the US's packages, is
this an extra cost added to the standard shipping cost?
According to the Royal Mail's website, all of the UK's post is automatically
covered to a maximum cost of £20, and the Tracking service that we can buy will
allow it to be increased to £50 (If I am reading this right)
So, why not do-away with the 'insurance' request, and offer the Tracking
option, as I am sure that European postal services don't offer free tracking,
and that is an extra that we have to pay for.
Besides, how the heck are we in the UK, able to find a 3rd party insurer to cover
a package that might not get lost?
(I've never even thought about finding one for myself as I've used the
Royal Mail's service)
Paul

Actually with all of the price increases in the US the following has become commonplace.
Priority Mail US Domestic is insured up to $50.00 or $200.00 if priority Mail
is used internationally for most locations. This covers MOST shipments but not
all after that point we can add insurance to cover the remaining value. Tracking
is provided for all "packages" online or retail.
This is actually fairly nice as it allows for us to not have to worry so much
about loss in shipping. I haven't had any issues myself but you never know.
The only thing I don't like is having to quote $50.00 international shipping
when not to long ago the same thing would have been $35.00 but that is what we
get for the USPS including insurance and basically just raising rates as well.

I think you misunderstood my post. My point is not about how I sell the CMF sets
but about how others do and how they screw up the price guide with that. So in
my opinion sold superlots should simply be not included in the price guide.
Or at least there should be an on/off switch just like with incomplete sets.
|
That is true to a degree as putting the super lots in the price guide messes
it up "IF" someone does not adhere to normal pricing of each element. This could
be controlled by forcing each price entered into the super lot to be within a
% range of average. This would not be price fixing as it would not matter what
the price is just that all of the prices fall within a set range from the average
balancing the lot across the items IE..
#1 item is $5.00 and the average is $5.00 (100%)
#2 item is $5.00 and the average is $3.00 (60%)
#3 item is $5.00 and the average is $5.00 (100%)
#4 item is $.10 and the average is $10.00 (1%)
Total is $15.10 average is $23.00
The rebalancing would force the pricing to be 65.25% of average based on each
price making the pricing relevant to the total of the super lot. this would bring
down the pricing of item #1 and 4 and increase #2 slightly and significantly
increase #4. to a still total super lot value of $15.10.
It could still allow a high low range from this average percentage as well by
saying the average % is %65.25 but to allow pricing adjustments to the user it
could say OK 65.25 is the average but the system will allow a variation of 10%
off of this which would still force a balancing for #4 agains #1 and #2
As for the way minifies are sold ... WE still need a set entry as it will get
rid of many Minifig super lots and weird price guide abnormalities in the pack
listings.

I always thought the same thing. But this year I changed accountants and he says
I cannot carryover inventory cost from year to year. He says I need to determine
my total inventory cost at the beginning and end of my tax year, in addition
to factoring in what I bought and sold during the year. Maybe someone else can
explain it better. I'm not very good when it comes to taxes. I pay my guy
$500 a year to do my taxes. This year I have to file FOUR separate Schedule C's.
Thor

The Inventory beginning of the year and end of the year numbers are to track
how much existing inventory was sold and then of course you have tracked what
came in and out during the year.. In some states I think they have a different
Tax Basis for first in - first out or last in - first out inventory. Not totally
sure how it works but knowing the yearly expenditures on inventory and the beginning
and end difference allows them to figure out exactly how much inventory has sold
and whether or not you had an inventory increase or decrease.
So in essence you are carrying inventory forward from year to year BUT it is
also setting up deportation if you are allowed to depreciate old stock.

Do you guys have to track this for tax purposes, or is it enough to just say
"This year I spent $$ on buying new product, and made $$ from selling"?

You only really need to track it down to pennies if you want to make sure you
are making money, as for Taxes usually it is a How Much you purchased, how much
you have remaining in your inventory, and how much you made in $$ values.

| | BrickLink does not have a convenient way to enter costs when parting out a set.
The cost needs to be entered manually for each item.
For BL2.0 please provide a feature whereby costs are automatically entered by
BrickLink when the part-out page is first submitted for approval. Let's say
you want to part out ten (10) of set number 75022
The way this would work is as follows:
1. On this page, where parting out begins:
http://www.bricklink.com/invSet.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=75022-1
add a box for the seller to input his total cost for all sets being parted out.
2. Part out like you normally would withOUT entering any costs and then click
"Verify Items" at the bottom of the page.
3. This will pull up the next page:
http://www.bricklink.com/invSetVerify.asp
where everything is listed for the seller to review and approve before uploading.
For this example, using Price Guide averages, the TOTAL part-out value shown
by BrickLink is $426.89. BrickLink can automatically divide the seller's
total cost ($260.00) by this total part-out value ($426.89) to automatically
determine that the cost per item is 0.609 times the listed price for each item.
Thus, for example, for minifigure sw493 BrickLink would automatically enter the
cost as $5.65 or 0.609 times the listed price of $9.58.
Currently, the seller cannot change anything on this page. So an added tweak
would be to make items (or at least the costs) editable on this page should the
seller wish to change them.
Hit "Upload Items" and, voila, your costs are automatically entered.

Another suggestion.
In the catalog, would it be possible to have direct link to the Lego manuals.
Most of the new ones can be downloaded from Lego but a direct link would be easier.
It would probably require the authorization from Lego due to copyrights.
I was also thinking about the possibility to have scanned copy of the older (not

Just some thoughts that have been floating around my head for some time.
Again thank you for reading.

Yea, I couldn't support that one because it would harm sales of instructions.
Bricklink is an information site as well as a sales site but it is an information
site focussing on sales and buying so doing something that would actually remove
sales would be bad for all the sellers and in turn Bricklink. I can see where
buyers would love it but in reality there is another site that does what you
are asking that I am not sure if I can mention here due to rules.

| I was thinking after making a few orders from Europe based on the conversions
listed on the site I thin there should be a slight adjustment to the pricing
formula. As I understand it the conversions are based on XE.coms daily value
ticker.
This however is a little misleading on the actual price you will be paying as
most institutions charge a fee for currency conversion so just about everyone
that needs to do a conversion will be hit with some sort of a fee. This can range
from around 1.5 to 2.5%.
I would suggest to make the conversion price listed on the site more accurate
to what the actual price paid after conversion would be that they be calculated
with the XE.com Conversion + 2% as this information is buyer information and
should be as accurate to real world as possible.

| Not sure if this is the right place to list this but given the light of custom
items being made I think in store listing it should be indicated under the "NEW"
or "USED" if the item is custom..
I notice you can go up to the header area and find all custom items but they
cannot always be easily identified in a listing of the store with both true lego
or not as the custom items can be listed in the categories.
So I suggest putting the word "custom" under the "new" or "used" in store listings
when the item is considered a custom item.

Yes and it is an excellent suggestion that has not been implemented.. I would

Box, No Box

Maybe if it was separate from the current Favorites process. Not everyone necessarily
uses these tools in the same way.
For instance, one of my "least favorites" states "Remind the seller not to ship
with prepaid mailer" or something similar. It's basically a note for ME when
(if) I place an order there.
Same with Most Favorite. I generally use these as a perpetual shopping cart.
If I'm in a store and there's some good prices on something I want, I will add
them to my favorites and include the item numbers in the Remarks. That way, if
I end up in the store again to buy in the future, I know to check if they still
have the parts I was interested in before. It has nothing to do with whether
the store is actually one of my "favorites".

So what's the use...
For example: I know I was placed on a few 'least favorite' lists after a message
and a discussion about PP fees (I used to ask them), in the mean while those
PP fees have been removed from our shop, most certainly 2 or 3 of the persons
who put me on their 'least favorite' list because of it, probably never changed
their opinion, because they never came back looking... If I would see 2 or 3
lines saying 'You ask PP fees' and in the mean while that is 'gone' and I can't
see the names, what would be the use, as I wouldn't be able to point it out to
them...
What if the reason is: 'you say stupid stuff', would it say anything about the
service provided? No
What if the reason is: 'you attacked me in the forum', without being able to
see the name, it would be useless, as you wouldn't be able to say sorry...
What if... and there are hundreds of reasons why someone would 'least favorite'
a store, if you can't see the name, it would be useless...
If listed 'most favorite', why would you wanna see the reason, either it is because
of an order, well then great, please come back... If because you say the right
things on the forum, or the chat, does it make you a better seller, with better
quality, with better service? No. Feedbacks serve that purpose...
I like it the way it is, just a number, no comments, nothing to feel bad (or
good) about, so no extra joy (the most favorite list) but no regrets either (the
leat favorite list) 
my 2 cents
Eric

If it is useless then why even have a most or least favorite list that is viewable
to the sellers themselves in the first place.. If it is not going to do the seller
any good then they don't even need to know if they have been listed as a most
or least favorite store by anyone so bricklink could get rid of it and it would
save server space (granted not much).
Personally I would like to know when I am being listed as least favorite because
I am out here on the forums or because of a sales strategy. I have 5 least favorites
1 came after posting here so I can garner that someone might have disliked my
post.. I believe that all 5 are due to posting on the forum but I cannot be sure
about that because I don't have any feedback as to why.
Just saying that right now it is sort of a half implemented sales tool that can
either be improved or eliminated.

You don't need to know the names in order to be able to make changes for the
better according to the comments. If they said it was because of PP fees, then
you can take them away, and maybe they won't ever find out, but others who would
have the same problem with them won't least favorite you. If they say "you say
stupid stuff" then try sounding more learned or pay more attention to your spelling
and grammar. If they say "you attacked me on the forum" then you could try being
less aggressive in your posts and be at less risk of being least favorited by
someone else for feeling that they were being attacked.
I would like to see why the one person who least favorited me did so, because
then I could improve my service in that area and make it less probable that someone
else will least favorite me for the same thing. Right now, I have no clue why
I am on a least favorite list so I don't what I need to improve if anything.
That's just the way I feel about it,
Elizabeth

That is pretty much exactly what I was saying.. RobErNat actually learned that
the PayPal fees were getting in least liked so they were removed.. In this case
he knew what the cause of the least liking was and fixed it.. He doesn't know
who least liked him but that really doesn't matter.. The thing is you will not
always know why you are least liked because you won't have the direct correlation.
In that case an anonymous " Your store was least liked for the following reason
message.. would be appreciated.. and visa versa.. Your store was most liked for
the following reason...
Everyone does things to improve and I think this would be a method by which people
would know what to improve.

BTW the feedback does not have to be tied to a certain user.. IE you mark them
as least favorite due to forum stuff which happens.. the transmittal of who least
favorite'd you does not even need to be shown.. It can be anonymous feedback
as to why I wont do business with you. Only the admin would know who it came
from..
You can also only least favorite once so it cannot be an ongoing argument..
If I got a comment such as I least favorite'd you "because I don't agree with
your religious beliefs" ok that is fine, it could even be something like " because
you are a dumb, egocentric ***" the thing is you won't know who it is coming
from (and it can only come once (unless alot of people feel the same way) so
you will know if you get comments like that maybe you should tone down religious
talk or stop being egocentric to get more business..

you as least favorite.. to me this would only be a note between the person who
marked least favorite and the store.. It would not be public like feedback..
people could as memtioned use it to get the last word but it wouldn't be a public
word and the seller could ignore the comment as retaliatory.

Nothing on either of those pages is what I am suggesting.. This would not be
a tool for buying but a tool for organizing to buy...
So here is how I work.. If I am trying to work up different projects I have one
Wanted list that has all of my wants and one wanted list that has all of my ordered
or have. Get about 10 projects and I now have 20 different wanted lists..
What I want to be able to do is to be able to show the wanted parts from say
5 of those lists grouped together (such as can be done in stores when you search
fro items on your wanted list). Right now you can only separate one list at a
time and show it singularly or you have to show the parts for every list by using
the show all after selecting the list or all..
You currently cannot pick and choose which of your lists to show all from you
can only do it One or All...

This is confusing 
WHERE do you want to be able to see (selectable) multiple lists at once:
While editing the lists:
http://www.bricklink.com/wantedView.asp
Where you currently can ONLY look at "all" or "one specific wanted list"
At the "By Shop" tab:
http://www.bricklink.com/wantedShop.asp
Where you can select which lists are reviewed for stores that have the most on
them
In a specific store
Which is where I thought you meant yesterday.

This would allow editing and looking over multiple listings rather than having
one at a time..
Basically it could be implemented the same as the in stores/shop by stores areas.

| Suggestion....
Be able to filter your own wanted list like you can while shopping in a store..
(ie show multiple wanted lists together while being able to turn off others)
This is to allow those of us with multiple wanted lists (ie completed, seraching
for, unordered) to only look at the lists needed.. right now you can only look
at the contents of one list at a time or all not 2 of 5 or 6 of 25...

| Correct me if I am wrong here but I don't believe I am...
We already have up to three additional Stockrooms where you can put items. Granted
your request to directly sell from those stockrooms is not currently available..
So that would be a suggestion in that admin have an option to be able to make
stockroom "X" available to the public.
You can also use these Stockrooms as the "Sandbox" that you are discussing just
make sure you upload to Stockroom "X" then you can check everything over and
then transfer it to your sellable inventory.
The limited XML upload and download size does cause issue, even with me and a
small store as I cannot fully upload some sets in one shot. so this should be
extended however I can see why it is limited as without a dedicated upload server
path it would probably kill the bandwidth of the site slowing everything down..
this is not an Amazon sized site..
Right now my work arounds are as I seem to work a little like you do.
#1 - I always upload new inventory to a secondary stockroom to make sure it is
correct before actual sale.
#2 - I always put a remark or comment on that Stockroom items if I want to track
it separate from the main inventory, though in order to actually sell it right
now it must be mixed in with the normal inventory.
#3 - uploads I just have to remember to break apart before sending.. (can be
a real pain)
Suggestions I would have for Bricklink would be.
#1 - Increase upload size to at least cover the largest lego set available individual
parts wise. (if not more)
#2 - Allow specific stockrooms to specified for public availability. With a Note
on the order to the seller about which Stockroom the part came from (some people
as me currently use remarks or comments for this.
#3 - Allow Named and Additional stockrooms beyond the 3 (A,B,C) (but there would
probably have to be a limit)
#4 - A selection option for buyers in a store to show only New or Used parts.
This would allow them to bypass used or new if they so choose when buying and
therefore not getting confused over what is new or used.
Unfortunately some of the Damage in inventory seems to be a personnel problem
on your end, with your helpers/employees not paying attention to what is new
and used and where it is located. This is something that of course no one can
really help you with.

| | I have a suggestion regarding superlots..
Currently the issue with super lots is that you have to completely bind your
inventory items to each other to create a superlot.
Example you have a set of wings with quantities of 10 on the left and 8 on the
right.. but you want to retain at least 3 sets availible at the discount regardless.
you could set individual sale until quantity 3 which would allow individual sale
of the items until the quantity of that item reaches 3 so someone could buy individually
7 left wings without the right but would not be able to buy the last 3 without
the right counterpart..
|
Can you not just add 3 as superlots and list the rest seperately?
|
The reason to have the option to sell out of a superlot would be so that you
can give a lower price on that item if the counterpart is purchased at the same
time.. Currently you cannot really do this for ALL of the counterparts that you
might have which makes it so you have to list some as superlots and others as
individual items.
This would allow you to list all availible as superlots AND individual items
allowing you to sell the parts together at say a 10% discount if you choose..
This would also allow you to link two sets together that you are actually willing
to sell separately IE you have a Santa Fe Engine and one of the Traincars that
you would sell together at $300.00 but you also wish to give someone the ability
to buy them separate from each other for $250.00 for the Santa fe and $100.00
for the train cars. You cannot list the sets separately and in a superlot without
violating Bricklinks On Hand policies as you only have 1 of each.
Once one of the items was sold the superlot would be broken and the other would
stay at its normal price but if someone bought both together they would get the
superlot discount.
