Never seen that happen before.

Someone had it reserved to inventory and now they don't.

Definitely seen that a couple of times. Typically when I have something on hand
and want to inventory it (or part it out).

I made a similar post about 21348 and 60439 a couple weeks ago

BrickLink inventories have a lot more info than the data available from LEGO
or in the instructions. A submitter here who has the set in hand must add in
everything LEGO leaves out: minifig builds, extras, sticker sheets, names and
images of decorated items, variants, etc.

~Jen

Decorated parts and minifigs have been making their way into the catalogue these
past few days. Not long before the inventory is approved I think

Hi,

I cancelled your post because even if you cut some bits, there was still enough
to find their website.
The rest is saved below.

As for answering your question: you may contact help desk and/or report the store.
The admins will verify.

Is this email coming from this store?

If so, how did they obtain my email address?! I never messaged them or bought

Shall I report this store?

Hello

Can anyone explains me what is the difference between 3003 and 3003old ?

Thank you

the name says it all

3003 has inside supports and 3003old dosnt

A better description, IMHO, would be that 3003old has thick walls and 3003 has
thin walls (hence the need for reinforcing struts that also allow to keep the
same distance for connecting studs).

Also, bricks in trans-colours all have thick walls… but modern ones are inventoreid
and sold under 3003, not 3003old.

Hi, i have a problem with adding a new method of payment. The problem is i don't

Hi,

You need to contact help desk to ask for it:
“Offsite payment methods (including IBAN) are available only by special permission
by contacting the Help Desk. Normally a minimum of 10 positive selling reviews
(feedback) and 3 months of selling experience are required to enable offsite
payments. Exceptions may be made in countries which do not accept PayPal or other
common onsite methods.”

Then do tell the other sellers it’s not good! That way, your parts will be rarer

Re: Inventory of Minifigure Parts

Hi,

I am not very familiar with Bricklink. I need to buy a lot of minifigure parts
(For a project). It does not really matter which parts as long as there are a
lot of different ones to combine to a random minifigure.

What I would like (for example) is an inventory list of all minifigure torsos
so that I can search shops that sell a lot of them up to a specific target price
(lets say 0.5€).

Is it possible?

Hi,

Well, possible, yes. Easy or efficient, I fear not

What you can do is add torsos to a Wanted List (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1
) and you can use the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
) to search for stores with many of them.

The problem is that there’s many many torsos. That means that:

1. It’s a long task to make the WL. Though you may be able to do it more quickly
with a tool like BrickStore.

2. There’s many rare torsos. Used only in one or two sets, a long time ago,
or even recently (a few months) but rare today. Again, BrickStore could help
you sift the expensive ones.

3. You’ll still have many torsos, and few stores will have many of them. For
instance, you may end up with 200 (or 1,000) torsos, and the most you’ll find
in a store is 20.
But that is speculation on my part: you may be lucky.

...how is it possible that this site apparently has (at least?) two different
sorting algorithms in place? When I sort my wish list inventory by item name
I get "Brick 1x12" before "Brick 1x8", in my store inventory
(and in orders and set inventories) it recognizes the numbers correctly and sorts
1x8 before 1x12. Is there method in this madness?

That’s a symptom of spaghetti code (or, more accurately, big ball of mud): you
need the same function but, either it needs to be slightly different or you’re
just not very good at recognizing duplicates, and you copy (or rewrite) the code.
So when one copy changes, the other doesn’t.
Reconciling the different bits (refactoring) is not so easy and you risk breaking
one copy which actually did something slightly differently and that can’t be
simply replaced by a call to the other.
Hence the “we are not touching that (at the moment)” attitude.
