Hello BrickOwl
Just joined up, wanted to say hello to my new site. Longtime user of that other site but that may soon change.
Just got ban-hammered from the forum over there for daring to exercise my First Amendment rights. Guess they're seeing red over there now.
Anyway, just saying hello. Who are the big sellers over here? I usually place largish orders, 500-2000 parts that sort of thing.
Thanks!

I read your post before it was canceled. Somehow I have been spared the hammer so far.
To be transparent (I've posted this in this forum before), as a professional seller, its really in your best interest to sell on both sites. This one is growing fast, but it won't replace the order volume "over there". The buyer population also appears to be different - this site gets quite a lot of casual non-AFOL buyers, most likely because of the advertising and affiliate programs (make sure you sign up for those). The wish list function here is a little less convenient because you have to go into each item individually and add to cart (as opposed to autofill). So AFOLs with long wanted lists will probably stay on the other site.
Not sure I get your remarks on wishlist function - I found it easy and amazing!
1. Create Wishlist
2. Click the "Buy" tab
3. Select the wishlist(s) you want to buy for - a list of stores with any parts in your list pops up
4. Check the boxes next to store name(s) that have some(or all) of what you are looking for
5. check/uncheck as many stores as you like to find the least expensive option (parts AND shipping!)
6. Once found click "Add to carts" button - all the parts you are looking for appear in multiple carts simultaneously.
7. Go thru the check-out at each store by clicking the store name (link) - your pre-filled cart is ready for checkout!
8. Once checked out of each store click "remove from wish list"
IMHO - it's far easier than BL's system (especially as over there you will have no idea of added costs)
It will also explain some of the quircky orders here, where someone orders 50¢ of parts and pays $7+ shipping internationally…
@JoeRocco - you won't regret it!
Oh and WHAT First amendment rights? They 've gone along with the Forth and Tenth!
Now "they" are working on removing the Second to do away with the rest…
Wonder what Brick Arms will do with their "Modern Sporting Rifles" :O

Well, welcome to the site!
on that don't know if anyone knows - but has BL been sold again? I notice the parent seems to be SoHo Corporation rather than B….L… (HK) Ltd.

Sometimes the intent of the amendments is misunderstood.
Back to business!
