| Yesterday I added about 6000 dark green 1 x 1 plates to our inventory as we continue
to build up quantities of standard items. I listed them at our standard price
and then later on went to my inventory page, called up that item and added a
tiered price at 1p below our standard price for quantities of 100 or more. Fine
- no problem.
Today additional stock of that particular item came across my desk to be added
and I went to add the item - filled in all information to add the additional
pieces. Lo and behold the system removed my tiered price and set it back to 0.
As it is not really possible to remember all the items we have on tiered pricing,
I believe the system should either show you this or have an option to retain
tiered pricing.
Anyone else - or is there a workaround to ensuring the tiered pricing sticks.

The workaround is there - don't use the ad item screen. Go to my inventory
and simply change the quantity of the part and submit changes. Please consider
enhancing the normal add item screen to either see the pricing you have set up
or to retain any tiered pricing for that item.
Thanks.

| Out of interest, I noticed some of your used plates are slightly more expensive
than your new ones. I've noticed this with my inventory before when I've
gone through to adjust pricing and wondered why / how this happened because obviously,
customers would pick out the new over used as it is cheaper.

Hello there
Thank you for your comments. Sometimes used is more expensive than new based
on demand and availability. Like you we would always buy new if that were the
case. We get buyers who buy the used even though new is less expensive. It doesn't
always marry up with logic and is part and parcel of the Bricklink/Lego world.

Not necessarily. Some people are only looking for Used, some of them for authenticity,
some of them (wrongly) believing Used is always cheaper than New.
So the parts could still be sold

This is because new (and common) items are more susceptible to the "race to the
bottom" prices. New shops pop up with same sets as anyone else (because they
are all on sale). They part out as new, and price below average to get sales.
This happens less with used parts as there is way more work involved in listing
them (so fewer "get rich while doing almost nothing shops").
Niek.
