IrishGuy66 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 The Z-95 Headhunter doesn't have a used price. Do I just have to wait and be patient, or is something wrong? Quote
Darth Lego Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 The Z-95 Headhunter doesn't have a used price. Do I just have to wait and be patient, or is something wrong? All of the new 2013 Star Wars sets don't have a used number yet. They must not have enough sales or data to have a number there. Quote
IrishGuy66 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Something that could be useful for brickpicker is online auctioning on here. Just think some investor gets a deal on a QAR so to speak, and he wants to make some quick cash, but also wants it to go to a good home. And there's also a collector on here who's been looking for that, so he goes in the auction, and bids against other collectors. You could really make a bit of an income with this for site improvement. All you have to do is charge less than eBay. Members on here are always complaining how eBay is always taking too much of their hard earned dough. Just thought I'd drop this idea off, IrishGuy out. Quote
IrishGuy66 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Wait a minute..... that's perfect!! You could take the Brickfolio to a whole new level with that. The seller could type in what he got it for then however long he keeps it gets put in there, and finally when he decides to auction it off the system could calculate his profits and gains!! You could also have bidders history and all sorts of great stuff!!! Bidders with tons of buys could start getting like VIP points, and stuff. Then before you know it this would become the Lego site Capitol of the world!!! Just think instead of putting prices for what sets are going for on eBay, you could put what's sets ard going for on brickpicker!! I should be getting paid for this!! Quote

Brickpicker investing could go through the roof. More money=bigger Lego bubble=more likely it will "pop." Just a thought. That's true, but people are already coughing up bogus amounts of cash on eBay, and Amazon. Why not do it through Brickpicker. All this will do is add another business competitor into the mix, but this one would hopefully have more realistic prices. (Like Bricklink) Lowering prices raises sales, and lowers the risk of losing your shirt when the bubble "pops" that's just basic economics. Because if you could buy a set cheaper somewhere else than Amazon, you wouldn't even hesitate. (Raising Sales) Plus that means you aren't putting out as much money as you were before.

Ed Mack Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 I suspect this feature is on the way (or available now and I am just not figuring out how to do it) but it would be nice to be able to sort your brickfolio by the different headings. In particular the "current price" of the sets (so it lists them in descending or ascending order) but it would also be useful to list by "condition" so you could see all the new sets together and the same for the used. Something that is probably a bit harder to implement but would make the site exponentially more efficient would be an option to do a mass edit of your brickfolio. Instead of having to go into the edit screen for each set individually, you could click the mass edit button which would make all of the fields in your brickfolio editable. Then you can adjust the condition and type in prices/quantities/notes for a whole page of sets at once! Anyways, great site and I look forward to it become even better as it matures.Options like are very useful and will be added with future updates of the Brickfolio. Quote

But we are eBay affiliates and it is not allowed. We cannot run an auction site or sell items on the site. We can direct people to other sites which sell products. Sorry. Quote

cheeka Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I'm no programmer, so I have no idea how difficult this would be - but a 'jump to top of page' hyperlink at the bottom of each page in a forum thread would be a winner for me. It's only a little thing, but it'd stop the need to have to scroll back up to the top to get back to the 'you are here' menu and navigate to the main boards. Admittedly, it only takes a few seconds each time, but it adds up when you're having a forum binge! Anyway, great site guys - I've only joined recently, but I am hooked! Quote
Sauromosis Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Having a blast, thanks for all your work. How often do you plan to update the valuation data? I know the holiday season probably messed up a lot of numbers but the last update was Jan 13. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 The info is updated monthly give or take a few days.........look for one coming up in a few weeks. Quote
Sauromosis Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Ah, thanks for the information. I think this forum needs a link "New posts since last visit." And maybe the main site needs a "Watchlist" that I can add sets to and track CAGR while I watch for deals. Quote

On the main forum page, there are buttons at the top that may offer the functionality you are looking for http://www.brickpicker.com/index.php/forums/ Quote
