exciter1 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 How do you cancel a Bricklink order? I had a seller message me saying one of the items I ordered was not in stock, I ordered from him because he had the 3 pieces I needed. I don't want the other random stuff I ordered to get over the $ amount per order threshold if I can't get one of the parts I actually needed. I think you just message him and say you'd like to cancel. They should understand and cancel it for you. Quote

mrdelish Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 How do you Bricklinkers handle inventory management? I know someone who runs a store and has them divided by part type then size then color and I can't help but there's probably a better way, especially with a lot of pieces. Quote
ctoddlight Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I am fairly small, with around 50K parts. I have my parts broken down by type and size, with colors still mixed together for the most part. For example, I have a large bag of 2x plates with smaller bags inside divided into 2x2, 2x3, etc., but within each of the smaller bags the colors still mixed up. Sent from my iPad using Quote
justafrog Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Bricklink category, part name, size, and finally color. The same way we print out our pick lists when we get an order, so we can just move straight down the shelves to pull the order in a logical way Quote
Cashmoney-0 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 How does shipping work? I've posted the prices for shipping but when someone buys something from me, how do they pay? Quote
justafrog Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 You'll send them an invoice with your paypal info Edited to add, place a few small orders on BL, it'll give you a feel for what the process should look like when you sell. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Also you can look at a sellers Spash page to see their shipping options and prices most of the time. If you go in their store its midway through the top menu. Quote

justafrog Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Yes much different than eBay... By the way once you set the price how do you change it? Through your inventory page. If it doesn't show up as a tab on whatever screen you're looking at, click on "My Bricklink" and you'll see it as a link option down below. Quote
dman2900 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I need some advice on the store I am about ready to open on Bricklink....... I have about $7500 in inventory ready for upload to open, but it is all sealed sets, used sets or minifig's...... How well do these 3 sections sell. I do have about 85%-90% of everything I have listed below the average selling price on Bricklink, they are not super low prices but they are still lower than the average...... Any suggestions? If you don't want to waste the time here you can always message me...... Thank you in advance!!! Quote
justafrog Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Generally, you're going to get faster sales and more money (even with the higher fees) on eBay or Amazon for the types of items you're dealing in. That doesn't mean Bricklink is a bad choice, just not necessarily an optimal choice (when it comes to sell-through and profit). If you are happier with the community there or don't want to deal with Amazon and eBay hoops, that makes sense also, of course. I'm afraid I don't know what the sell through is there, other than "lower" than the big mall venues. Quote
river41 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Is there any way when you add parts to your wanted list to add the quantity of that part that you need?(I.e. I added a red 2 by 4 but I want to put in that I need thgree of them) I know there must be but I can't figure it out Quote
Alpinemaps Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Look for the quantity field. I'm mobile, otherwise I'd screenshot it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
Victorymike18 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Ok, so here's an oddball question that probably has been asked before: Is there a place on BL, (or other) to sell just the instructions for a set? IE: In a few of my bulk bins I have found set instructions for sets that I have no intention to build or sell whole. There must be some small value to someone that is looking to make a set more complete by having instructions. That, and I'd hate to throw them out... Quote
mykingdomforabrick Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Look up the set. Example: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=76017-1 And click 'instructions entry' in the middle of the screen. Then 'Add to inventory' on the left side. Add price, quantity and condition/condition notes and submit. Fair warning - instructions don't sell so fast - least imho. Quote
MathBuilder Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Every set has a field for listing the box only, the instructions only or the whole set. Here is a HH example for instructions http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?I=10228-1 Basically the link has an I=... instead of an S=... Modify with the set number that you need. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Fair warning - instructions don't sell so fast - least imho. Unless you have instructions for Taj Mahal or 10179... Quote
Victorymike18 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Awesome, thanks for the fast replies. * I can't believe I missed seeing the "Instructions" section from just going to the "Items For Sale" tab first. I literally glanced right over it when I tried both "Books" and "Catalogs" before realizing that wasn't what I was looking for (then I posted on here)... Thanks for the tips on the other ways to get to the Instructions as well. Quote

jaisonline Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 looks like bricklink finally released their long awaited redesign plans with a high level schedule. after reading the announcement, i read mostly pros. we'll see.... http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/newsview.page?msgid=862333 BrickLink Product Roadmap 2014-2015 New Feature and Milestone Announcement by Marvin Park | 2014-10-17 EST Dear BrickLink members, I hope you 3 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Well, on first read, I like what I've read. I'll opt into the price quotes, automated shipping and express checkout. Quote
justafrog Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Wow! I go shopping for a few hours and when I come home the internet has exploded with good news. Thanks for posting this! Between this, the new World of Warcraft patch, and the upcoming improvements to Game of Thrones Ascent, I'm walking on clouds today! 1 Quote

Between this, the new World of Warcraft patch, and the upcoming improvements to Game of Thrones Ascent, I'm walking on clouds today! I was wondering what you were going to think of this. Glad to hear you like it, too. Quote
KShine Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 The updates sound good - I just hope that we don't lose too much. The ability to pay right away, through paypal sounds great. I am always concerned nowadays when a site has a facelift (my desktop is not a mobile device). Quote
