| Why must buyers search for items with marked down prices in a store?
Please make a specials category on the left navigation frame on top of sets which
include items on sale or any other special interest items with the lot count
next to such items as well. So that instead of all the sets a seller has to offer
being the first thing a buyer sees, have a specials and sale items category first
which can be navigated in the same manner as sets, parts or anything else (this
might make it easier to see custom items as well).

I think it’s a fantastic idea! I’d certainly appreciate it. But…
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1255544
I’m actually at this time against any further "new" features on BL - the
list of things which need to be sorted grows by the day and I think as customers
we have enough experience to say now that any new feature comes with so many
problems that you are better off aborting when the idea is still gestating
Voted in the affirmative, anyway

I've got three hats on BL: buyer, seller and contributor - No prizes for
guessing which hat I'm wearing when

Just the three...
I've got several, depending on the mood I wake-up in. But it's not hard
"guessing which hat I'm wearing" I don't have much of a filter between
brain n' keyboard. Working on it, though

Should be fun for those stores that always have everything on sale all the time.
Everything would be lumped in the "Specials" area, leaving nothing in the other
areas!

How about this … When I see something that isn't moving at it's listed
price, I LOWER THE PRICE. Placing it on sale implies that it will be going back
up in price (which is a tenuous assumption on BL). Sellers here try every imaginable
tactic to interest buyers. If, as you are proposing, sale items become specially
visible, then that disadvantages me, who is merely reducing the price. Remember,
your objective is to look for the better price, regardless of what mechanism
gets it there [1][2]

But as a seller you already have:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/featured.page
which arguably disadvantage a seller only for the buyer who comes to a store
from easybuy, and then you've got the question what other interest they have
in your store. Although I must say I don't think I've ever landed at
a store where featured lots had anything other than the default options.
And tested and it works like it should: https://store.bricklink.com/bje&utm_content=globalnav#/shop
And I adore that hat - you should have it on top where it belongs, not at the
bottom
