Just another day in paradise... Thanks for sharing, mate.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid as always Keith. On overflow I realise they are quite narrow but one suggestion is to put some additional overflow tubs on top of the raaco units to the right of your existing overflow? We don’t have much space at all in our store so we have the old plastic PAB cups on top of our raaco!! Difficult to reach sometimes but we need every inch! All the best!
Not a bad idea but I have quite an extensive amount in overlay that wouldn't fit, but could be used in part.
Love the channel mate
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Come on Boro⚽⚽🏆 Fantastic result, especially impressive with all the pace they lost in attack due to injury early in the game. Really hope I'm able to see the away game from Norway... oh by the way keep uploading😇😉
I hope you get to see the game too and make sure you're cheering the Boro on (hopefully to the final).
Another great video. Keep up the good work. Good result against Chelsea . All the best for the second leg.
Thanks - We'll need it but fingers crossed :)
So you need over over flow box’s 😂
When picking orders could you pick from the over flow box’s first? That might help keep overfly down, not much though unless big Qty’s
Picking from the overflow would be very time consuming as they are not as organised as the individual drawers.
HAHA, its that time of the week again !!, great video as always keith, aswell as the changes you mention i have tested the new Beta version of bricklink. it takes a bit of time to get used to it but they added some great fuctionality. I Also cannot thank you enought for the advice you gave me, the series 25 minifigures have been incredible, i got my hands on 2 boxes + 40 goatguy and 40 vampire night for justt above 6.50 a piece + postage from honkong. i have passed the 1000EUR sales in just 14 days with bricklink and ebay. These were probably the best 40 quid i spent !. Looking forward to next weeks vlog !
Yeah - it comes around quickly. Glad to hear things are working well for you. Are you suggesting I need to inc erase my hourly rate :)
@@BrickArena no !, 40 quid is pretty good already haha
There were four of the slopes for sale in the uk ( before I purchased them all 😀).
Was that Wall-E I spotted guarding the overflow? And speaking of overflow, yes I have that problem too (though not quite to your extent), if you find a solution that doesn’t involve spatial temporal engineering (i.e. Dr Who’s TARDIS) please let me know.
Good to see the container (200 kilos of bulk - that is a lot of sorting….).
The changes to Bricklink inventory. Umm, okay as we have stated I am not a collector (okay, maybe of each colour.😀) then it doesn’t matter to me if there are two or four connecting pieces in an inverse slope, but to someone who is a collector who is piecing together a set, that might be an issue.
My issue would be merging together “smooth” slopes with the older style “contoured”, as personally I favour the smooth slopes for some of my builds; ditto tiles whether they have a lip or not. I do wonder if it will make a seller’s life as “easy” as Bricklink seems to be saying. I get it’s less categories but will buyers be sending more queries requesting the specific variations? I guess only time will tell!
Well we’ve discussed music outside of this forum but amongst the Magnum revisits I did also listen to the John Lees / Wooly Wolstenhome live cd of classic Barclay James Harvest songs.
Thank you for the shout out, look forward to the next vlog.
Regarding bricklink changes what most concerns me is the price difference or different variants.
I wonder how the merging of variants will affect BrickOwl and the sync of data via Brick Freedom
I've raised it with Brick Freedom via their discord and Steve said he'll look into it today. Worth following them on Discord.
Loving the content, except for the football 😂 (Chelsea fan here). Thankfully we managed a good result against Fulham by the time this video came out
Thanks! Sorry about the football. Lets see what happens in the 2nd leg.
I'm new to the channel, is it a tradition to show customers'addresses because in the first 3 minutes of the video I clearly saw 3 or maybe a few forgotten blurr?
Not traditional or intentional.
@@BrickArenathanks, didn't want to be mean but the whole video is like that, especially the ebay orders i think. Maybe putting a blank piece of paper on the top would hide the informations without Being hard to edit the videos next time. Loved the vlog btw
@@smnlblnc it would only be eBay orders that contain an address. I started folding them to avoid but must have lapsed last week. Glad you like the vlog at least.
Not happy about the football last week! Chelsea losing on my birthday 😂:(
What happens if someone buys like 1 of everything lol
They can't technically do that because I have a lot limit set (at Bricklink's suggestion) of I think 1000 lots. But even 1 of each of 1K would be painful to pick :)
for the torsos, i think its horrible if they remove era specific variant, becuase that means the black classic space astronaut torso witht the gold still intact is very expensive compared to the reissue, hopefully they wont be mixing no ribs and with ribs
I think that is one of the intended changes. There is a full list on the Bricklink Forum.
