Download placed order in *.bsx format

bluedragon

Hello,

Apologies if this has been addressed before but I could not find the information. I have been placing orders over the past few months to gather parts to build the GB headquarters designed by the Swiss GB (http://www.swissgb.ch/lego-gb/). Given recent news that Lego may release an official set (http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-ghostbusters-firehouse-headquarters-75827-rumored-for-january-2016/) :-) I will be left with a considerable amount of parts I would like to sell on my store.

Is there an easy way to download the orders and combine them in BrickStock so that I can upload everything in one go?

Thanks!

Using the API it's possible to download your order information of the orders that you have placed, and then use that information to upload it using the inventory API

Thank you. Unfortunately I am not API literate. If someone has the time/inclination to provide a list of steps I would have to follow to download specific orders, combine them, edit prices and then upload using the API I would be grateful. If not, no worries.

Thanks!

What you need is converting BrickOwl IDs into BLIDs for BrickSock, and that isn't easy at all. It requires a complete offline database to do the translation.

I shared a little tool that converts a store's inventory (http://www.bricksync.net/owl2bsx/), it could be adapted to also fetch orders. Still, I suspect adding the feature would take me longer than you just merging orders manually. And I don't really want to put time into owl2bsx because there's new and much better software coming down the pipeline...

Thanks Stragus! Yes, I don't want to waste anyone's time. I will manage manually and will be looking forward to the new software :-)
