Brickfolio and Price Guide FAQs (Site Update)


Recommended Posts

Jeff is working on it along with many other things.  I think some folks need to remember, our owners & mods have lives outside of brickpicker. we have spouses, kids , regular jobs,  houses, etc...    this is also a free web site, so jeff and ed don't have hired workers "standing ready to go" to work on items when they can't.

That's why folks should use the brickfolio export feature often.  The good news is that no data is lost.  It's all there. Just give Jeff as much time as he needs.

A suggestion: In a future update, Is it possible to change the category of polybags to "polybags" instead of creator, city, star wars, etc.  As a lot of these are free, it would make it easier to get a truer representation of the ROI of each theme without the outliers. 

If not, I can calculate it myself.

 

Thanks for all of your hard work.

I can't upload an image to show you, unless it's a link to another website. How do I show an image?

 

It's not just the Imperial shuttle either. I do have my Brickfolio set up to GBP currency, and I do enter my prices in GBP as I bought them. Then Brickfolio estimates the value of my sets new & old based on the ebay.com prices, judging by which, my collection is well under estimated.

In order to see what a set is worth eventually, I have to click on it, scroll way down to the eBay listings and click from the drop-down menu and select ebay.co.uk instead of ebay.com. That way the local listings appear and this is the only way to get local & accurate data.

For what its worth, the graphs and charts are only working if your sets are in dollars and you live in the us.

Jeff is away for the week, so your request will have to wait.  He has the ability to look at your Brickfolio and see what the possible issue is.  If you are quoting the used price for the Shuttle, then something is off.  It should read 363 GBP.  I'll have him take a look when he gets back.  Thanks.

I don't know what you are looking at but the Set Guide page I look at states the UK price is 363.33 GBP, or approximately $595(US). Used prices in the UK are 263 GBP. Make sure you have it set as NEW.

Jeff, one quick question about the Brickfolio when you are in "View Entire Collection" or you've searched for a specific set and are viewing the results.  Is there a way you can add the Total # at the bottom of the Quantity column, much like the value is totaled at the bottom each results page?

 

That way when you search your portfolio for a sets there's an easy way to know the total number of "all sets" or "a specific set" when viewing the results.

I have a price guide question.  Are polybags hard to track? I noticed I have several in my brickfolio that still show $0.  Polys like Micro manager battle and Iron Patriot. Are they still too new?

I believe with polybags there are so many sold each month that refining the data takes a lot of work, one such thing with polybags is they are usually sold in bulks or mixed lots. Ed has said once a polybag is easier to manage it will get updates in the price guide, I have quite a few polybags with values, but most are around 2 years old, newer ones dont have values.

Just like the CMF's, they are sorted in the Brickfolio by set #.  Since hardly anybody on ebay uses these numbers in their listing instead of just listing "Lego Iron Patriot", they won't show up in the Terapeak info.

The free polybags don't have an MSRP, so Jeff has to tweak something to make them active.  Let us know about any issues on free polybag numbers.

I just updated my brickfolio.

 

1.  I'm over 1M pieces.  Yikes!  Is there a 1M badge?   :)

2.  How long does it take the Collection Summary signature tag to update?

 

Cheers

Welcome to the club.  Here are the PERKS.  If you're a man women will now want you and men will want to be like you, NUF said!  IF you're a woman then reverse it.

It will be a project in the future, probably even more like next year (end 2015-2016) sometime.  There is just too much going on right now to even want to wrap my head around it.  It is just took hard to filter the minifigs accurately . I have mentioned it before, I will probably grab the listings that I think are minifigs and the community will probably help to identify the listings to put them there or something.  I am just thinking out loud there.    It will need manual intervention.
