DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 On the Brickpoints store, what will happen when they run out of a particular set? Will they replace it with a different set? I believe they posted somewhere that the sets may be switched out with equal value sets or giftcards in the event they are out of a particular set.

sadowsk1 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Maybe this is thought is already out there and I'm as guilty as the greenhorns that come to the site and look for friendly advice. Is there an FAQ or introduction for people that are starting out Lego investing to avoid them from asking certain questions and prevent current members from jumping on them for their own frustrations? Or some sort of instruction or etiquette when asking for advice? Almost like something they should read before they enter the forums or read when they sign up to participate.

But i think there are plenty of blogs about it... we do need some basic guide when you register and so its a must read before entering forums. But you must understand 1 thing... telling new members to search forums is not jumping on them, its basic thing that every member should've done before opening new topic. Its what I consider a minimum lvl of intelligence for a forum user. Its nothing easier than registering an opening a new thread because you are too lazy to use search button and READ for a few hours.

Jeff Mack Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 To me this sounds like a good use for a blog article. One of you guys can start to come up with one and we will use that as a reference point. Start putting out the questions and answers. People can then chime in with other questions and answers and those can be added to the blog article. It can become one main article of content to point people to. That is an idea for now.

Alcarin Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hey Jeff 1 question. My blogs are still in draft yet they have visitors but are not visible... who approves them only you and Ed or are they visible to mods also for approval? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies Alcarin if it seemed like I was saying that you were jumping on a the greenhorns. I wasn't singling you out and it was an attempt to either.

meowingthings Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I find it very helpful knowing how long a person has been a member in addition to how many posts they have made. Those two together help me understand who are some of the people to listen to or I should say put a little more stock in their opinion. I thought this used to be visible but perhaps I am mistaken. Is there any chance it could come back, or be added right near where the post count is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably give this a try and see what I can come up with. Maybe a large blog with forum etiquette and one that explains the several features available in the site.

comicblast Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I noticed that on the Price Guide, if we click "What is CAGR?" then we are led directly to the BrickPicker homepage instead of the explanation for CAGR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can, i uploaded a sample video here: http://community.brickpicker.com/gallery/image/474-fiddlemaking/ I would probably recommend using Youtube and just paste the link in.

vipul.toprani Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I think what could be interesting is to allow to document sales too and keep them as a part of LEGO portfolio for actual returns calculations. In the end, I could see how much is being reinvested into lego from earlier deals. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been mentioned before by others, so you aren't alone I think their response was that they are working on a handful of changes to the Brickfolio feature, so it is on their (extremely long) to do list probably.

boxofcorey Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Is there a way to make the subforums under Investing & Collecting in alphabetical order? For some reason I always have a small stroke when I need to try and find 'Monster Fighters' or 'Harry Potter' and they appear to be in the most random of places.

Yes this has been discussed before and will be part of an update after the Brick Classifieds is launched Is there a way to make the subforums under Investing & Collecting in alphabetical order?

strangeboy Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I miss the table header sort functionality on set collection pages, both with/without URL params: http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/brickfolio_search.cfm http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/brickfolio_search.cfm?theme=614 Restoring this will save me some time exporting data into excel and sorting across my collection and within each category (both lists span multiple pages). Having the ability to "Show All" (vs. paging) in conjunction with table sort would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeboy Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'd love to see a "Donate" function as I would gladly donate money (PayPal, for example) from time to time. The service this site provides is well worth it. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I suggest three things that could be added to a set's price page: -Price per brick -Price per gram -Parts cost (price of all individual parts added together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
