Currency Conversion Problems in Brickfolio

[Alpha13snake]

When I started here everything was in dollars.

 

Now we can choose between a number of different currencies.

 

My problem is that when I change the currency my brickfolio is displaying in, the numbers stay the same.

 

For example.

 

10197-1: Fire Brigade - Bought in shop for

The values of the Brickfolio are still based off US data, so any of the different currencies you select will change the values for the US data.  There will be an update that will allow you to pick which set of data you want to do base your brickfolio on.

This will be greatly apprecaited!

 

Numbers can be totally off, e.***. a 10228 Monster House is showing as a hefty loss because it's worth only around 135

You can still look at the values of individual sets by going to their information page. You can see the value of a set from the eBay marketplaces that BrickPicker has data for: USA, UK, EU, and Australia.

BTW, what also wonders me, is the performance information given on an indivdual set's website.

For example, for 10228, the value of the set compared to retail is shown as +28.71 %

Yes, it has been mentioned many times that the current brickfolio is still just showing convert US dollar rates.  I am not switching to any other fixes until I get this Classifieds thing out the door which will be sooner than later.  Once that is out, then there will be an upgrade to the brickfolio area that will also tie in with the classifeds and fix issues like this.  I just don't want to delay the classifieds any longer than it has already.
