| | When clicking Buy All on a Wanted List and then clicking Auto-Select, only third-party
stores are listed. The price of a part is often (but not always) cheaper from
LEGO's PaB website than from any third-party store. Also, PaB shipping is
free if the order is at least $35, whereas shipping costs can really add up when
buying from third-party stores. LEGO has owned BL for almost half a decade.
Why is LEGO's PaB website not included among the stores on BL?
(I tried to search for this suggestion in the Forum but didn't find anything)

since bricklink is specifically for 3rd party sellers, not lego themselves. if
lego came over to bricklink and started ramping up then most stores on bricklink
would have to close down as they cant compete with lego if they are on the same
site which would then just end up making bricklink a reskinned PAB.

| | Why would LEGO care whether any third-party stores (i.e. competitors of LEGO's
PaB website) close down?
|
since they make up a good chunk of Lego's revenue. 3rd party sellers buy
from lego and then do lots of work which if lego themselves did and paid employees
minimum wage they probably couldn't make it profitable so with the current
setup all parties involved benefit. Also it seems lego is pursuing this route
as there have been surveys from lego and bricklink trying to improve the lego-reseller
connection.
| | Also, third-party stores would still be indispensable, because there are so many
parts that are unavailable from the PaB website.
|
To a point but if lego started selling lots on bricklink then a good chunk of
sales would move to them and then the stores that could offer said parts would
have most of their stock not moving since lego takes that and then they probably
wouldn't bother with selling the few parts that lego doesn't sell as
sales would be significantly lower and make it not profitable for many
|
pardon my ignorance (I'm an AFOL newbie), but could you explain this a little?
what work?
|
Listing and pulling orders is usually extremely work intensive in comparison
to profit.
